Podcasts about social awareness

In this episode of the Emotional Intelligence Podcast, hosts Ismail and Sameer emphasize the importance of social awareness in emotional intelligence for effective leadership, offering insights and tips on developing this skill through empathy and communication. They discuss challenges faced by technically skilled individuals lacking social awareness and conclude with a call for listener engagement, guiding leaders to enhance their emotional intelligence and create supportive work environments.KEY POINTSSocial awareness is a core principle of emotional intelligence, crucial for leaders to effectively "read the room" and understand others' emotions.Reading the room involves sensing the mood and dynamics in real time to respond appropriately and achieve better outcomes.Social awareness can be developed through empathy, open communication, and genuine curiosity about team members' well-being.Recognizing non-verbal cues, such as body language and engagement levels, is vital in remote and in-person settings.Technically skilled individuals often face challenges due to a lack of social awareness, which can hinder their leadership potential.Effective leaders must be patient, allowing conversations to unfold over time, and be proactive in addressing issues before they escalate.Feel free to send us an email at info@emotionalintelligents.com and share your thoughts or visit us at https://linktr.ee/emotionalintelligents Send us a text

In this episode of the Active Life Podcast, hosts Larry and Cody delve into the subtle but impactful distinction between social awareness and social anxiety. What starts as a casual recounting of a basketball practice turns into a profound exploration of how our instincts, emotions, and modern environments shape our interactions with others. Larry shares a moment of personal clarity while dribbling, prompting a discussion about the evolutionary roots of social behavior and how technology amplifies our anxieties. They examine: The fundamental differences between social awareness, a present-focused skill for understanding others, and social anxiety, a fear-driven response preoccupied with judgment and rejection. How societal norms and technology hijack our natural instincts, leading to compulsive and fear-based thoughts. Practical tools to cultivate mindfulness and shift from anxiety to awareness, including meditation, breathwork, and reducing dependency on technology. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to deepen their self-awareness, reduce social anxiety, and better navigate the complexities of modern relationships.

Episode Highlight: On this episode of the "Embracing Only" podcast, we are featuring one of the most impactful moments from episode 58, with guest, Farah Harris. You might have been told that emotions don't belong at the office. This couldn't be further from the truth because everything we do is based on emotions whether we are cognizant of them or not.   Farah is a psychotherapist and trailblazer in workplace belonging and well-being. As the founder and CEO of Working Well Daily, she's reshaping our work environments with a keen focus on emotional intelligence and the psychosocial dynamics of our professional lives. She is also the author of the international bestseller, The Color of Emotional Intelligence. This episode is just a short snippet that highlights the best and most powerful learning moment from a past episode. You can listen to the full episode (filled with more wisdom) here: Episode 58: The Workplace Revolution We Need: Emotional Intelligence, Authenticity & Belonging.   Key Discussion Points: 00:59 Challenging the “No Emotions at Work” Myth: Big corporations are looking for emotions like happiness but they are not doing the work to cultivate genuine happiness at work. 02:51 Changing the Narratives Around Emotions: We tell little boys to “man up” and little girls to “stop being emotional” and then we expect them to turn into adults who can empathize and who have social awareness. 05:17 Identifying Our Emotions: There is no such thing as negative or positive emotions. Rather we have natural emotions that can have negative and positive responses. 07:36 Strategies for Emotional Intelligence in Leadership: It's not about getting rid of your emotions as a leader, it's about having a safe space to process your emotions.   In Summary: Farah Harris urges us to challenge the notion of emotional insensitivity in corporate environments. She challenges us to acknowledge and process our feelings to foster psychologically safe and effective workplaces.   Resources from this episode: The Color of Emotional Intelligence: Elevating Our Self and Social Awareness to Address Inequities by Farah Harris Follow Farah on Linkedin or check out her website.    Ready to make a change? → If you are struggling to navigate your corporate career but are ambitious and have goals you want to accomplish quickly, Olivia is the coach for you.

Hi Everyone. I'm having a TYP breather today, so we're re-visiting this chat I had a while back with Dr. Adam Mastroianni. He is a postdoctoral research scholar at Columbia Business School who studies how people perceive and misperceive their social worlds, from the person sitting across the table to the broader community buzzing around them. He writes a great blog called Experimental History, is a stand-up comic, a Harvard Graduate and I think even he'd admit that he's kind of a quirky academic-comedian-philosopher hybrid. This conversation was about as loose, freestyle and entertaining as you can get with a post-doctoral researcher. Enjoy. Twitter: a_m_mastroianniexperimental-history.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We discussed the four pillars of EQ:  Self -Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management and how we apply each in our data to day lives.

Imagine connecting deeply with those around you, mastering the art of seeing the unseen, and nurturing spaces where empathy and understanding flourish. That's the essence of social awareness. Through the enlightening tales of Tiffany and Aneladee, we see the blueprint for not just leading but inspiring in our communities and homes. Ever heard about the church leader who, with his sheer presence, made everyone—from senators to the Harlem Globetrotters—feel incredibly seen? This isn't about grand gestures but about making each interaction a moment of genuine connection. It's a lesson for us: the most profound impacts come from making others feel truly valued. Tiffany and Aneladee's wisdom is a treasure for us, homeschool parents and educators. It's more than techniques; it's about building a community of understanding, respect, and genuine connection. Let's embrace these insights to enrich our teaching and lead with empathy, vulnerability, and strategic connection. Together, we're not just educating; we're shaping tomorrow's compassionate leaders.

The number one concern I hear from parents is that their child or teen or young adult doesn't have friends. That is by far the primary reason parents enroll their kiddos in my program. The second most common observation parents share with me is that their kiddo doesn't get social clues and cues. They are socially naive, confused, overwhelmed or frustrated. In this week's podcast/YouTube episode, I'm sharing all the things I teach in the second module of my program here at Starfish Social Club. This module is called 'Awareness', and it focuses on helping students not only build their awareness of the social world, but also learn what to do with the information they are noticing.   Here's a clip from the episode: One of the big concerns that people have about kiddos with social learning challenges is that they don't pick up on social clues or cues. They don't recognize them. And I have found, and I believe, that that's not always what's happening. I find that my kids do recognize social clues and cues, but they don't know what to do with that information. So if I asked students, you know, 'What are some signs that somebody's not interested in what you're talking about?' Or, 'What are some signs that you've said something that somebody else doesn't like, or that you're bothering somebody else?' Most of the time the kids are aware of that. They know what the clues and cues are. Where they get stuck sometimes is knowing what to do when that happens. And I think it's because when we make a plan to do something or to talk about something and it doesn't work out the way we expected it to, we don't always know what else to do. So I call this making a plan B. This is what I thought was going to happen and I don't know what else to do.  On a personal note: I often overemphasize social cues when I'm working with my students, especially when they are first learning. This helps things be more obvious to them. It's one of the reasons our kids tend to like animated movies and shows so much; everything is overemphasized. They don't have to try to figure out how someone is feeling when that character's eyes are bugging out of their head and their jaw is hanging open!

This podcast episode features Nancy Bacon discussing the important process of "pruning" for nonprofit organizations to experience sustainable growth. The team provided helpful framing and strategies for nonprofits to thoughtfully prune in a way that supports their long-term health, impact, and sustainable growth while staying aligned with their core reasons for existing. Both organizations and individuals should reflect on how to "prune" themselves to better support others in taking action.It's important to periodically "prune" programs and practices through a lens of what still aligns with an organization's mission and purpose is important for sustainable growth. Honoring and openly discussing emotions, which are deeply tied to nonprofits, can help with difficult pruning decisions. Having courage is needed to proactively prune and make changes rather than just doubling down on the status quo.Key Takeaways:The importance of periodically evaluating programs and practices to determine what still aligns with the organization's core mission and purpose. Nancy encouraged nonprofits to take everything out and only put back what "brings them joy."The challenges of pruning given the emotional nature of nonprofits, but the importance of openly acknowledging and discussing emotions.Examples of nonprofits collaborating within their sector's ecosystem to maximize impact and do less duplicative work.Tips like focusing on an organization's higher purpose rather than emotional attachments to specific projects or programs when deciding what to prune.You can find Nancy on LinkedIn or at https://nancybacon.com/ !!Thanks for joining us - don't forget to subscribe, rate (or like), comment & share!Visit our website and follow us on social media - Facebook, Instagram & LinkedInWe LOVE your feedback & questions - click HERE to share your questions/feedback or email us at podcast@shandelgroup.comSubscribe for our free 66 Seconds with Shandel Group at shandel.com#LeadForClarity #LeadershipDevelopment #Leadership #Growth #ExecutiveCoaching #LeadershipCoaching #EmotionalIntelligence #Clarity #PersonalAccountability #Communication

Shandel and Melanie interview Aliza Brown about her experience navigating the Plant stage of growth. Aliza discusses shedding old mindsets of overcommitting and multitasking in favor of consistency, accountability, and communicating clearly. She shares obstacles faced like not asking enough questions, and strategies used like finding trusted advisors. Aliza emphasizes the importance of evolving one's leadership approach through self-reflection on values.Key Takeaways:The importance of shedding old mindsets like multitasking and short-term gratification in favor of consistency, accountability, and focusing on long-term impact.The importance of communication, both written and in-person, and finding the right method for the situation. Too much digital communication can lead to misinterpretation.Asking clarifying questions upfront to fully understand expectations and negotiate support as needed for important projects.Learning to say no and prioritize the most important tasks, rather than taking on too much and risking burnout. Focus on quality over quantity of work.Using self-reflection to identify personal values and strengths, and ensure one's leadership approach aligns with those over time as situations evolve.Leaning on a support system of trusted advisors for honest feedback during challenging times, rather than isolating oneself.Unlearning habits that don't serve growth, like assuming rather than inquiring, and relearning strategies tied to sustainable progress.Thanks for joining us - don't forget to subscribe, rate (or like), comment & share!Visit our website and follow us on social media - Facebook, Instagram & LinkedInWe LOVE your feedback & questions - click HERE to share your questions/feedback or email us at podcast@shandelgroup.comSubscribe for our free 66 Seconds with Shandel Group at shandel.com#LeadForClarity #LeadershipDevelopment #Leadership #Growth #ExecutiveCoaching #LeadershipCoaching #EmotionalIntelligence #Clarity #PersonalAccountability #Communication

Here we are; the third quad of Emotional Intelligence is social awareness. In this episode, we discuss the importance of being aware and empathetic to other people's emotions and positions and understanding just "Who" we should be allowing in our circle. This one has some tough lessons, so proceed with caution! Let's get it! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Growing up in a conservative environment, emotional expression wasn't always encouraged. That was the reality for our guest, David Brzozowski, the Director of Training at TalentSmart EQ. Join us as we dive deep into the nuanced world of EQ, exploring how men and women approach emotional intelligence and the challenges men face in expressing their emotions. David takes us on a journey through the four pivotal EQ skills: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. We reveal how these skills can be mastered to better engage with others, control our own emotions, and even 'read' a room. Powerfully, we unpack the often-overlooked strength in vulnerability and the harmful consequences of repressing our emotions. Towards the end, we delve deeper into the transformative potential of emotional intelligence in forming lasting connections and creating harmony in our lives. We explore how understanding and managing our emotions can lead to life-defining moments. Tune in as we challenge societal norms and learn to harness the power of emotional intelligence.Follow David BrzozowskiDavid's LinkedInBook: Emotional Intelligence HabitsBook: Emotional Intelligence 2.0Support the showAdditional Resources: Subscribe/Rate/Review on iTunes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: >>>HEREEnroll Here

Today we are one day better. (Can u tell I went to the gym this morning)? In this episode, James Coleman and miles dig into the world of football frustrations, relationship advice, and a whole lot more. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect from this episode:

Remember, you can watch the Superpowers for Good show on e360tv. To watch the episode, download the #e360tv channel app to your streaming device–Roku, AppleTV or AmazonFireTV–or your mobile device. You can even watch it on the web.Devin: Amanda, what do you see as your superpower?Amanda: When Josh first reached out to me, he graduated from NYU Stern Business School. He brought in a few of his middle school friends. I was actually very self-conscious because I didn't really know anything about business. I didn't have a business background or anything like that, but I realized pretty quickly that my superpower is not necessarily the financial, logistical, the minute hard skills but more of the soft skills, more of the way that I relate to people, the way that I can understand people, the way that we're working with teenagers.Devin: Amogh, what do you think is your superpower?Amogh: I think my superpower lies in the fact that I am young, and I drive youth empowerment, youth leadership.Devin: Gavin, what is your superpower?Gavin: I wanted to use my superpower and engage students. So actually, with the organization I helped with, with their first-ever networking workshop. So, I show students how to use LinkedIn, how to send messages to politicians, industry professionals.Years ago, I had Joshua's Heart Foundation's founder, Joshua Williams, on the show to talk about his remarkable organization. At the time, he was a young teenager and had already been at work feeding people who were hungry and food insecure for nearly a decade. When he launched the effort, he understood he was creating a movement to feed those who need help but likely didn't fully appreciate the more radical impact he was having by empowering children and teenagers to lead.Recently, we reconnected, and he introduced me to some of the young people who lead the effort today.Amanda Aviles serves on the newly constituted National Advisory Board. Members of the board are Joshua's Heart alumni volunteers scattered around the country. Some participated with Joshua as peers in the earliest days when their little hands and arms couldn't carry much food but when their minds could immediately grasp the impact of providing food to someone who needed it.Gavin Poore and Amogh Baranwal are both in high school. They are members of the Junior Advisor Board, which has the primary responsibility for leading the organization. They are two of the day-to-day leaders.Both trace their roots in the organization back in time for years. Amogh shared his recollection of volunteering at age six:The one memory that I have that has always stuck with me is that when I was in line, we used to have people come to us, and we would shop with them like a grocery store, so they would get to choose exactly what they wanted to take home. A family came with another six-year-old, and this was the first time I had seen someone who looked like me–we're the same age, we might have gone to the same school, or we might have had similar life experiences at that age. When I gave his family that box of food, I saw his smile brighten up. I was shocked. Something that I take for granted. I never think, “When's the next food going to be on the table?” Or when the next family dinner is going to be. It's something that just happens.So, to see someone my age see so much joy from something that I took for granted really opened my eyes to the many problems that many people face–even at six years old. So, it is cool to tell people that I started volunteering when I was six, but it's sad to know that there are six-year-olds who didn't get that same opportunity because of the circumstances they were put in. So ever since that day, I have been grateful for our Foundation for giving me these opportunities and allowing me to experience giving back firsthand.His story represents well the experiences of other young people who volunteered regularly with Joshua's Heart. The truly remarkable things about the nonprofit founded by a four-year-old may not be the people it feeds but the leaders it builds.AI Episode Summary* This is an interview with three young people involved with Joshua's Heart Foundation: Amanda Aviles, Gavin Poore, and Amogh Baranwal.* Joshua's Heart Foundation was started in 2005 by a young boy named Joshua who had a passion for feeding the hungry.* The foundation's primary mission is to fight hunger and engage and empower youth in that fight.* The organization is facing the challenge of keeping its founders and early participants involved while preserving the youth-led nature of the organization.* The organization is split into three parts: core volunteers, a junior advisory board, and a national advisory board.* Amanda Aviles believes her superpower is her ability to connect with people and understand them, particularly younger individuals.* Amogh Baranwal believes his superpower lies in his youth and the ability to empower and inspire other young people.* Gavin Poore sees his superpower as youth engagement, helping other young people find their voice and engage in positive change.* The organization can be supported through donations, and volunteers are accepted, but mainly from the South Florida area.* The best way to stay in touch with the organization is through its website and social media platforms, particularly LinkedIn.Guest ProfilesAmanda Aviles (she/her):Director of Strategy, Joshua's Heart FoundationAbout Joshua's Heart Foundation: Joshua's Heart Foundation (JHF) was founded in 2005 in Miami Beach, Fla. by Joshua Williams when he was four years old. Joshua's Heart is dedicated to the fight against global hunger and poverty.

The Shandel Group team is back for Season 5 to discuss the Process for Sustainable Growth, a framework developed to support sustainable growth of organizations, teams and individuals.  It's important to remember that growth is uncomfortable and we have to push ourselves into that discomfort, otherwise we will end up moving forward in an unhealthy way. The Process guides us to consciously think through how we grow to make sure we are growing in the right direction. The Process outlines the 6 stages you can anticipate going through any time you grow. The stages are - Pain, Purposefully Connect, Plant, Progress, Prune and Profit. Click HERE to see the Healthy Cycle of Growth as well as the Unhealthy Cycle of Misery referenced in the podcast, and to learn more about the Process. The starting point for any growth cycle is Pain and this is where we enter into the process. In the healthy cycle, everything is centered around our values, understanding what those are and making sure we are focused on living our values. Many pain points come from not knowing our values or compromising them. It's hard to this work and we can off-ramp into the unhealthy cycle when we are not ready to lean into fixing what isn't going well. After feeling the pain, the next stage is purposefully connect with our values, others and the struggle we are facing. Planting is a stage full of hard work but this leads to Progress, where we start to see changes coming to fruition. Then we go into the Pruning stage, where we take out the fluff and get rid of things that don't serve us anymore. Finally we reach Profit, and see that the pain had a purpose and a meaning and we have reached our goal and are profitable.After going through the cycle, then you start all over with a new pain point! This season is going to be all about how to apply this growth process to all aspects of life and how to get the most out of what you want to accomplish. Thanks for joining us - don't forget to subscribe, rate (or like), comment & share!Visit our website and follow us on social media - Facebook, Instagram & LinkedInWe LOVE your feedback & questions - click HERE to share your questions/feedback or email us at podcast@shandelgroup.comSubscribe for our free 66 Seconds with Shandel Group at shandel.com#LeadForClarity #LeadershipDevelopment #Leadership #Growth #ExecutiveCoaching #LeadershipCoaching #EmotionalIntelligence #Clarity #PersonalAccountability #Communication

Shandel and Melanie answer a listener's question about sustainable practices to prevent burnout. The team digs into this question from a business standpoint, personal growth and leadership tools. It's important to build strong relationships so you can recognize when someone is struggling as well as taking ownership of the things that we can control, such as sleep and eating healthy. We need to think about how to build sustainable growth within our organizations, our teams and ourselves.

Shandel and Melanie dig deeper into communicating boundaries in Part 2 of this segment. The team talks through tips and advice of how to say no to someone as well as how to share that you don't appreciate someone's behavior. Learning how to effectively manage up helps keep a reasonable workload while also saying yes as much as possible and maintaining positive relationships. One way to do this is by asking your boss what to prioritize when they ask you to add something new to your plate and communicating timelines for getting things accomplished. It's also important to be realistic about how long something is going to take and give yourself time to check your calendar before automatically saying yes to things. Living with integrity and being a person of your word requires that you take care of your priorities first before taking on more things than you can handle. Communicating boundaries that have to do with other people's behavior can be hard - here are some tips to do this well! Understand the standards you have for yourself first and then the boundaries you set for others - this helps us train people how to interact with you and treat you. Dig into the specific behavior that you don't want from others - what is causing your discomfort? Don't expect others to know your boundary and communicate it very clearly, when you are not emotionally charged. Offer consequences of not following your boundaries, a reminder and grace period, and then follow through on the consequences.

“Teaching our next generation the drive, desire, work ethic and character, that will take them to new heights, using neuroscience.” Watch this interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/oXfQPEJWwbM On this episode you will learn: ✔ How Former MLB Player is taking the mental and physical skills he learned over his 14 year MLB career, connected to neuroscience to help our next generation of youth. ✔ The leadership ingredients that Mike Bordick thinks made some players stand out over the rest with their results. ✔ Why Mike Piazza (NY Mets) was such an outstanding and unique team player. ✔  How Mike Bordick's childhood contributed to his success in MLB and beyond, and why he thinks it's important to give these skills back to our next generation. ✔ What sport Mike chose to unwind after a busy season, to enjoy the "solitude of nature." ✔ His vision for League of Dreams www.leagueofdreams.org (that's just celebrated it's 20th year). Welcome back to Season 10 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (that's finally being taught in our schools today) and emotional intelligence training (used in our modern workplaces) for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 5 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to uncover the most current research that would back up how the brain learns best, taking us ALL to new, and often unimaginable heights.    For today's EPISODE #295 we are going to speak with someone who I feel connected to with where he is going, but for many others, like my husband, he's formed a huge connection to where he has come from. We will be speaking with Mike Bordick, a former MLB player, whose 14 year career included time with the A's, Orioles, Blue Jays and Mets. I came to meet him when he contacted me, brainstorming ideas for ways he can continue to give back to youth in his retirement, with the organization he has formed www.leagueofdreams.org, that is celebrating their 20th year and is now looking at including content that links neuroscience to learning and physical education. When I saw his email to me, I wondered “what is a former baseball player emailing me about” and then when I got to what he was looking for, I thought that he definitively found the right person, as this is what the podcast Neuroscience Meets SEL is all about. I wrote back to him with ideas, and resources from the podcast, with episodes that tied back to PE and the brain, and connected him to everyone I knew that's focused on PE and neuroscience. I can't wait to meet with Mike and learn more about his vision for neuroscience, (that stems from his college degree in PE and kinesiology) and see what he does with this new program that he's working on, that links brain health, physical activity and nutrition. I also knew I couldn't ignore the path the led him to where he is today with his vision, so we will dive a bit into his past on today's interview. If you know me well, you'll know that I'm not really a sports fan, (while I love being physically active myself, I haven't spent much time watching sports, since I was around twelve, and my Dad took me to hockey games in Toronto. I think I've been to one baseball game, but never went back because it just wasn't my thing sitting in the stands and watching the fans spitting on the ground.  So, when Mike's email came in, I asked my husband, Majid Samadi, who is a huge baseball fan, “Have you ever heard of Mike Bordick” and the answer was a definite “Yes, and why do you ask?” Before learning more about Mike's vision, you can go to his About Us page on his website and see where his path that led him to baseball began. Majid filled in some of the blanks that I had, from the point on view of an avid Mets baseball fan. I learned that: Mike Bordick, while on the Orioles, was so highly regarded that they shifted Hall of Famer Cal Ripkin Jr to 3rd base, so that Mike Bordick could play short stop. In 2000, he was traded to the NY Mets during the Pennant Race, where he went onto the World Series and most importantly, he was a part of the first Subway Series between the NY Mets and the NY Yankees in the 2000 World Series. Hearing this, made me see a different side to Mike Bordick and his vision for youth. He brings all the attributes he learned and developed in leadership with his 14-year career in the MLB. What I'm interested in learning more about now, is what he plans to do with the skills he's learned in his career.  I've asked Mike Bordick to join us, and share his vision for where he has been, what he has built in his retirement, and the legacy he would like to leave with his experience, knowledge and skills, all for the benefit of our next generation of youth. Let's meet Mike Bordick! Welcome Mike, it's awesome to meet you. This is my better half, Majid Samadi, who knew you without having to look you up. We are honored to have this opportunity to learn more about your vision, but also, bringing your past experience in baseball to light. Intro Q: Before we get to your questions, I've got one myself and Majid pitched in his. I was hoping to get some intel on Miguel Batista, after meeting him briefly years ago, but since you rarely faced him, I'll change my question a bit. I really do believe that you can get a solid understanding of someone by watching how they do certain things.  You know, it's that “how you do anything is how you do everything” idea. Miguel Batista is the only MLB player I've met personally, even if it was brief, I could guess what he would be like as a person. Who stood out to you as a leader over the years, and what do you think it was that took them to higher levels of achievement, over other people? Majid—I'm a huge METS fan.. story of watching Mike in the stands. What was it like to play with Mike Piazza and being in the heart of a pennant race, going all the way to the World Series? How was the energy around the New York Fans supporting the Mets and pushing for a Championship? Q1: Take us back to childhood. Reading your website, I'm curious, what do you think it was that made you into a MLB player?  I related to what you wrote on your website, with having a strict Father, with “fear being instilled into your young heart” and maybe a little bit about the “fear of God” as we never missed a Sunday at Church growing up. Something about these two things I think taught me discipline that would carry me through difficult times later in life. What about you? What were the ingredients that made you into who you are today, and how do you translate these ingredients into your programs for youth? Q1B: Majid --what the work ethic of my all-time favorite player, Mike Piazza? How was he as a teammate, and did he do anything specifically to instill confidence in the team to push forward in a Championship year? Q2B: Majid --since playing in New York has a lot of advantages and at the same time can be difficult with the media coverage. What were some skills you were able to develop being with the New York Mets and how do you transfer these skills to the kids that you work with today?  Q2: “The solitude I found fishing by myself is what I truly loved.” If you weren't fishing, you were playing baseball. Majid would understand your passion for fishing, but I wonder, what is it that you enjoy so much about “the solitude” of it all? Being in nature?  How can this understanding help our next generation get outside and spend more time in nature? Q3: For a family who has noticed our girls' self-esteem skyrocket through sport, what can you say about these skills (called social and emotional skills now) but they weren't taught in school when we were growing up. We had to learn them through the school of hard knocks. Things like mindset, attitude, sportsmanship, and basic character skills that would separate you from the rest. Where did you learn these skills, and how do you incorporate them into sport for youth? Q4: Reading what 5th grade was like for you broke my heart a bit, mostly because it's the kids who are left out that we were always taught to watch out for. They are ALWAYS the ones who take off like a rocket (I can name a few my elementary school days who struggled are they are now medical doctors). Looking back now, do you think this hardship at school gave you something that made you stronger? Not that I want life to be easy for my kids, but hardship builds something we can't give our kids. Can you share getting cut from 3 of your middle school teams, and how being vulnerable with your weaknesses helps kids you are working with? Q5: Tell us about your vision for connecting neuroscience to PE. Where are you with this program, and what else do you need? Q6: Final thoughts, and reflections. Mike, I want to thank you for coming on the podcast, and sharing your powerful story that took you from childhood, to your 20-year career in MLB. What you have already built with your League of Dreams Program is outstanding, and I'm excited for what you are creating with your PE program backed by neuroscience. I can express how excited I am personally to be speaking with you, but Majid takes it all to another level, as he sat in the stands watching your first game. It's been a true honor to meet you.   LEARN MORE ABOUT MIKE BORDICK:   League of Dreams https://leagueofdreams.org/   Personal Website https://mikebordick14.com/about-me   The Baseball Warehouse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AJkb-YIHXU (teaches the fundamentals of baseball as well as the mental side of the sport).   The Baseball Charity: Improving Lives Through Baseball http://www.tbwcharities.org/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/mike.bordick.5   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mikebordick/   FINAL THOUGHTS, REFLECTIONS AND AHA MOMENTS:   I think it helps to share any AHA Moments that were noticed during the interview, or while editing, since learning is something that's ongoing. I'm sure as you listened to this interview, you could relate with your own life experiences. Majid and I reflected on this interview together, as I wondered what he noticed, that I might have missed. Here were our biggest take-aways from speaking with Mike Bordick: Go Deep When Researching to Find the Heart Behind The “Why”[i]: It doesn't take that much time to get to know someone on a deeper level when you are researching them for an interview. I watched some of Mike's television clips, and noticed that the questions he was asked were usually ones on the surface, (like what are you building for youth) and these questions still highlighted the incredible work he is doing with LeagueofDreams.org, but for me, there was something missing. I like to “feel” the heart of each person I'm speaking to, and knew I didn't have the knowledge and background to get there on my own. I knew I needed help for this interview, to uncover the “heart” behind Mike Bordick's mission and legacy, and I saw it when Majid brought back some of the memories of sitting in the stands watching Mike's games, in his early days. Mike wouldn't have known what it felt like from a fan's point of view, and Majid had no idea that the “field shook” when the fans cheered (or booed). He only knew the stands would shake from his point of view. Mike got to see Majid's perspective, and vice versa, which is when I noticed the “magic” started to happen. We also noticed that while you can research someone thoroughly, you still won't be able to find out everything, so find ways that your guest can add to what you've uncovered, if you've missed something. We didn't know that Mike Bordick played in 2 World Series Games, but by recognizing him in one, he was able to share the full picture. PUT THIS INTO ACTION: When speaking with someone, whether an interview like I'm doing, or a customer you are trying to get to know in the business world, or if I think about it, the athletes that you are coaching, when you can connect to another person at the heart level, the bond you will create is unbreakable, and unforgettable. I know Majid and I will NEVER forget this part of the interview, because we were able to “feel” it and this was all possible from spending a little bit of extra time learning more Mike's background, and getting to know him at the heart level, going straight to what mattered the most to him, or his “why.” It pays off to put extra effort into going a bit deeper to get to know and understand others who are important in your life, for this reason.   Always Think of Ways to Help Others and Give Back: I think this is what caught my attention the most when I first met Mike Bordick. Here he was in retirement working on ways to give back to those who need it the most with his League of Dreams Organization. He and all the others who lead this organization[ii], found a way to contribute and help those who need these skills the most. If we ALL spent some time thinking of ways to help others, even if it's one person, the world would be a different place. Majid also noticed this and we both wanted to be sure that we highlighted what a noble cause The League of Dreams is. PUT THIS INTO ACTION: You don't need to go BIG with this idea, like Mike is doing, (or you can with some planning) but I really do believe that we can all do this with small actions, taken daily, and make an impact that begins in our own community. How are you as a role model in your family? Start here, and then expand out larger into your community, and then further, into your city, state, and then go as big as you want out into the world.  Small details matter a lot and show people who you really are in a matter of seconds. It's all about seeing the WE in social and emotional learning, instead of the I. Social Awareness, vs Self-Awareness. Start small and do a bit more each day. When Mike Bordick reached out to us about ways to incorporate neuroscience into his work, I bet he didn't know how much his experiences would help and inspire others—two minds when they come together, (WE vs I) expands all of our levels of awareness, leaving us with the thought of “what else can we do to help others?” We are all connected: This one came through when Mike was talking about the solitude he felt while fishing in nature by himself, something he would do to unwind from a busy season. Something magical happens when we can feel the oneness of ourselves within nature, and this is something I'm going to explore more on a future episode as we look at the power that comes from being on, near or by the ocean with author and ocean expert Wallace J. Nichols. PUT THIS IN ACTION: If you have been following this podcast, I'm sure you will have your own story of what happens to you while in nature. Mike Bordick talked about the meditative nature of fishing and what he would say were “undisclosed benefits” to being in nature.  I've felt strange and interesting things while hiking in the mountains, or swimming in the ocean. When we get to our interview with Dr. Nichols, I'll ask him to explain WHY we feel such interesting connections with others in nature, and why nature has the ability to calm us down, and bring out our creative sides, because this is what he has dedicated his entire lifetime studying. I don't think I need to explain this one any further, other than to say how important it is to get out into nature, and take note of what this peace and solitude means for you. With those takeaways, I'll close out this episode. I hope you enjoyed this interview with Mike Bordick as much as we did.

“Every day we are influenced in countless ways by the world around us, and most of this flies completely under the radar of our conscious awareness” From Neuroscientist and Stanford Professor, David Eagleman's, The Brain: The Story of You. On today's episode #291 on “Unleashing the Power of Our Subconscious Mind” we will cover: ✔ A review of where our podcast began, and where we are going. ✔  The importance of understanding our subconscious mind as it relates to our results. ✔ A look back at the history of this understanding, that goes back to visionaries in science and the arts (Francis Bacon, Descartes, etc). ✔ The unusual results Andrea saw with 12 teenagers who studied this concept, catching her attention, in the late 1990s. ✔ 6 STEPS you can use today, to expand your awareness, and help you to tap into the power of your subconscious mind. Welcome back to Season 10 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (that's finally being taught in our schools today) and emotional intelligence training (used in our modern workplaces) for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 5 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to uncover the most current research that would back up how the brain learns best, taking us ALL to new, and often unimaginable heights.    Welcome back! For those who tune in each week, you might have noticed this was the FIRST time we've taken a break with this podcast since we launched. It's always been important for me to produce content every week, but this past month, we travelled to some places where there wasn't always internet, so I decided it would be a good time to take a break, and think about where we began with this podcast, and where we are going, creating a clear vision moving forward, and putting our season theme of Part 2 of Going Back to the Basics into practice. If you look at the image in the show notes, you can see where the vision for this podcast began by making a connection with the six social and emotional learning competencies[i] that you'll be familiar with if you are in the field of education, or paying attention to the research.  These competencies include Growth Mindset, Responsible Decision-Making, Self-Awareness, Social-Awareness, Self-Regulation and Developing Relationships, and hundreds of research studies[ii] have confirmed positive outcomes for our next generation of students, adults and communities who implement these competencies.  Instead of covering social and emotional learning topics only for this podcast, (that I saw publishers begin to cover more thoroughly than I ever could on my own, using their research to prove efficacy), I decided to connect what I saw as “the missing link” for health, well-being, productivity and achievement on this podcast—an understanding of our brain, that I call Neuroscience 101. Reflecting back on almost 300 episodes written, recorded and produced from June 2019 to today, it's easy to notice the growth that has unfolded along the way, that I share on EPISODE #279[iii] on “Lessons Learned After Hitting the 300,000 Download Mile Marker,” or “The Top 10 ALL Time Most Listened to Episodes on Podcast.” I can't miss out on EPISODE #233[iv] where we covered the “Top 12 YouTube Interviews” as chosen by YOU! These are all good ones to review. In addition to the growth noticed over the years from feedback that YOU, the listener would send me, I also noticed a shift with the content in our interviews over the seasons. In our early interviews, we were introduced to books, ideas and strategies that would orient us to the understanding of the brain and help us to break down topics like improving student success with Dr. John Dunlosky's[v] research, or trauma in our schools, that we saw with EPISODE #168[vi] with Dr. Bruce Perry and his book What Happened to You, or EPISODE #60[vii] with Dr. Daniel Siegel on “The Benefits Behind a Meditation Practice.”  We moved through the research, season by season, covering the topics that I thought would help us to all gain a better understanding of the mind-brain-body connection. Then, the focus turned towards health and wellness in 2020, which was an unexpected turn for me, but one that made a huge impact on me personally, allowing me to test out certain products, like the Fisher Wallace Brain Stimulator[viii], the Whoop[ix] fitness tracker, take a visit Dr. Daniel Amen's Clinic[x] for a SPECT image brain scan, or even by learning how to improve Heart Rate Variability with the Lief Wearable HRV Device.[xi]  While producing these episodes, I was implementing the ideas myself, and often times along with my family members, for improved results. You can scan through the episode home page here or review the season descriptions below. Season 1: Provides you with the tools, resources and ideas to implement proven strategies backed by the most current neuroscience research to help you to achieve the long-term gains of implementing a social and emotional learning program in your school, or emotional intelligence program in your workplace. Season 2: Features high level guests who tie in social, emotional and cognitive strategies for high performance in schools, sports and the workplace. Season 3: Ties in some of the top motivational business books and guest with the most current brain research to take your results and productivity to the next level. Season 4: Brings in positive mental health and wellness strategies to help cope with the stresses of life, improving cognition, productivity and results. Season 5: Continues with the theme of mental health and well-being with strategies for implementing practical neuroscience to improve results for schools, sports and the workplace. Season 6: The Future of Educational Neuroscience and its impact on our next generation. Diving deeper into the Science of Learning. Season 7: Brain Health and Well-Being (Focused on Physical and Mental Health). Season 8: Brain Health and Learning (Focused on How An Understanding of Our Brain Can Improve Learning in Ourselves (adults, teachers, workers) as well as future generations of learners. Season 9: Strengthening Our Foundations:  Neuroscience 101: Back to the Basics PART 1  Season 10: Strengthening Our Foundations:  Neuroscience 101: Back to the Basics PART 2 You'll see that while our first nine seasons were focused on orienting ourselves to the basics of neuroscience, Season 10 and moving forward I'd like to narrow our focus to improved mental and physical health, (building on the Top Health Staples) to understanding our consciousness and our identity, and help us to become crystal clear about who we are, why we are here, and what legacy we want to leave for others. You'll see the guests we have coming up will drive our understanding of these topics forward, hopefully helping us to become better versions of ourselves, with the idea that when we arrive to where we want to go personally and professionally, that we next create a plan for the legacy that we'd like to leave behind to help others. For today's episode #291 we are going to pick up where we left off with our last episode where we dove into Stanford Professor and Neuroscientist, David Eagleman's work. Let's go back to where we left off the end of May with EPISODE #290[xii] and dive into today's episode on “Unleashing the Power of Our Subconscious Mind.”   In Chapter 1 of David Eagleman's The Brain: The Story of You, he explains how our identity is a moving target. He says: “Who you are depends on where you've been. Your brain is a relentless shape-shifter, constantly rewriting its own circuitry—and because your experiences are unique, so are the vast, detailed patterns in your neural networks. Because they continue to change your whole life, your identity is a moving target: it never reaches an endpoint.” David Eagleman's, The Brain: The Story of You. THE CONSCIOUS MIND: In our last episode, we uncovered from David Eagleman's work that the “conscious mind-the part you think of as you—is really the smallest part of what's happening in your brain” making me take a look at the graphic on The Levels of Awareness, that I created after reading an article called “The Easy Problems of Consciousness”[xiii] from National Geographic. If we look (all the way to the right) at the FULLY aware column, that's like the 10% of the tip of the iceberg that we can see consisting of our ability to THINK. To truly discover WHO we ARE, we'll need to dive into the depths of our subconscious mind (under the surface of the water) to learn and explore more about the other 90% and peel back the layers, of who we truly are. FINDING ANSWERS BY DIVING INTO OUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND: You'll notice that we will be spending more time moving forward looking at ways we can improve our levels of awareness, so we can take this knowledge, to eventually help others, after improving ourselves. This will be the key to building a strong legacy that will exist long after you move from this physical plane, that we call earth. And if we want to improve our own results in this process, we've got to open up the keyhole to our levels of awareness. Imagine a tiny dot expanding as your mind expands. Or instead of peeking through the tiny keyhole of a doorway you want opened, blast open your mind and kick the whole door down instead. Or forget about the door, and break a window to gain entry into this new awareness that you'd like to achieve.  This all begins by understanding who we are, (we are not just our name) and we can expand ourselves even further as we learn how to use this marvelous power of our mind that J.B Rhine, from Duke University would say is “the greatest power of all creation.” As you are listening to this, doesn't it make you want to knock down some doors (blasting through some of YOUR subconscious blocks)? Things that you're aware have been holding you back from where you KNOW you're supposed to be? These are only your conscious blocks. Like I've heard people say “I want to stop self-sabotaging” with their health or relationships. There are some parts of us we are consciously aware of, but other blocks, might take some time to reveal themselves. It just blows my mind that something so powerful, (our sub-conscious mind- or all that exists below the water level with that iceberg photo) that controls so much of who we are, is not taught to us in school. It's here that I think some of the previous work and study I did in the seminar industry can help us to understand what David Eagleman was talking about in his book, The Brain when he said that the “conscious mind is the smallest part of what's happening in your brain.” This was at the heart of EVERY seminar I've ever attended. If we REALLY want to understand who we are, and be in control of where we are going, understanding the 90% of us, where our beliefs, creativity, emotions, habits, intuition and values all exist, is crucial if we want to be in control of the future that we want to create. GOING BACK TO THE BASICS: THE HISTORY If we go back to our Think and Grow Rich Book Study, that we covered at the start of 2022, Napoleon Hill wrote a whole chapter on the subconscious mind (Chapter 13) that we covered on EPISODE #195[xiv] and then he reminds us to re-read Chapter 4 on Auto-Suggestion, which is the medium that influences the subconscious mind.  This book was first written in 1937, showing us how far back this concept goes. Since this time, there are many others who cover this topic just as thoroughly as Napoleon Hill, like author Brian Tracey[xv], who explains why this understanding is important on his blog, in his books and all of the seminars he conducted. Tracey shares that “since your subconscious mind has such a great amount of control over your positive and negative behaviors, the key is to train your brain to produce more positive behaviors.” If you've ever read Brian Tracey's work, you'll know it's all centered around productivity and success. The subconscious mind and how to take control of it, runs at the heart of his message. In my early days of working in the seminar industry, and learning from the top speakers around the world, I saw that this concept wasn't new. I was even given a box full of material to study, joining many prominent people in the fields of science or the arts, who also studied the material I was given from an invitation only method. I read the same words that visionaries like Francis Bacon (1561-1626), Rene Decartes (1596-1650), Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), or Isaac Newton (1642-1727) read, and was told to keep this box of materials a secret. It's full of lessons that focused on using our mind to help us in all areas of our life, including our health, and is not far off from The Silva Mind Control Method[xvi] that we covered thoroughly this year. Understanding the levels of consciousness was taught in the introduction to this program, and as we progressed into month three of the course, autosuggestion and the subconscious mind were covered, showing again just how far back these concepts go. Moving forward, I'm hoping that science will reveal some answers to why certain practices from years past, yield noticeable results. I'd like to keep these practices less of a “secret” for anyone to use for themselves or for the benefit of others. Just keep an open mind here, and follow along with the images in the show notes that I'll use to explain the importance of understanding our conscious, and sub-conscious mind as it relates to WHO we are, and then how we can use this understanding to put our goals on auto-pilot, creating results that will truly boggle our minds. Sorry the notes I wrote are a bit messy, as I wrote them years ago, and didn't think I'd be sharing them years later. You'll get the idea. DO YOU KNOW THIS ALREADY? As we move forward, this understanding might be something you already know, or have heard of before, but until you can explain it to someone else, it warrants a review. If you stay with me here, I can guarantee that the application of this understanding has the potential to shift your life in ways you'll never believe. I've been working with these ideas since those early days of working in the seminar industry (25 years ago) when I first watched 12 teenagers skyrocket their results with this understanding, and I still pick up something new each time I look at this. When I first saw these concepts yielding results after a relatively short period of time with those teens, it literally knocked the breath out of me. Something I've come to notice happens when I can see someone achieving quantum leaps with their results—it's hard to look away from something this magical. YOUTH MENTOR INTERNATIONAL (1999-2002): The Fundamentals of Life. For those who don't know where I first learned this concept, it started back in the late 1990s when I worked with Bob Proctor on a program for teens called Youth Mentor International. This program that I helped Proctor to create and deliver, covered the understanding of our subconscious mind, and how to put our goals on auto-pilot.  The results of this program for these 12 teens was absolutely astounding. You can review the interview with Bob Proctor on EPISODE #66[xvii], where we reminisced about our time working together, shocked that it close to 25 years ago, revisiting the results we saw with those teens.  You can see an image of where this program began, with cassette tapes covering these foundational topics, years before we could stream content around the world via podcasting or video.  As I started to write this episode, I knew I had to go back to the Basics, and look at these tapes. Notice the title of the program: Youth Mentor International Fundamentals. This is what we taught ALL kids (ages 10 and up) around the world, each week.  The Fundamentals of Life. Tape 1: Building an Emotional Appeal of a Future Promise (where we helped the kids to see the power of visualization) and building their future on the screen on their minds. Tape 2: We Think in Pictures: which takes our visualization skills to that next step, honing in on a detailed picture of our goals and dreams. Tape 3: The Conscious Mind and the Senses: showing the kids that there was a world beyond their 5 senses, or the importance of being aware of the “unseen world.” Tape 4: The Subconscious Mind and the Body: that took students into the lesson I'll share with you here today, or diving into the 90% of that part of us that remains under water, in the iceberg photo. Tape 5: The Faculties of the Mind (that we will cover on our next episode). Tape 6: Review and Application of the Fundamentals. After watching the success of those teens all those years ago, I put my hat here, and decided to keep looking for what else could possibly take our understanding of who we are to greater heights. This program had such potential, but fell apart after Sept. 11th happened. I tried to carry the torch forward, and learned from educators along the way, like you see with can see when I re-connected with Jeff Kleck, from EPISODE #246[xviii] who changed the direction I would take with this material in the schools, leading me to focus less on the spiritual side, leaning more on science, or how the brain impacts our learning. I know connecting the science to these concepts is integral, so my focus has moved to watching and learning from the leading experts in science, to bring credibility to the ideas I saw working with those young students all those years ago. UNDERSTANDING AND USING THE SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND The key is to understand how our MIND works, and that it's separate from our BRAIN. When we figure this out, it's like all of the pieces of the puzzle start to fit.  Can you imagine putting a puzzle together without the lid, or the picture of the completed puzzle? That's almost like what we are doing when we are living life without a picture of our mind, and how we can use it. How do we better understand the part of us that exists under water in the iceberg image? I don't know about you, but I'd rather be in control of this ship called life, than to let it drift aimlessly at sea. REVIEW OF THINK AND GROW RICH: CHAPTER 13 THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND If you listened to our Think and Grow Rich Book Study, (EPISODE #195) you will remember when Napoleon Hill reminded us that “The subconscious mind works day and night” (CH 12, Page 230, TAGR) and that you “cannot entirely control your subconscious mind, but you can voluntarily hand over to it, any plan, desire or purpose you wish to be transformed into concrete form.” (CH 12, Page 230, TAGR) He suggested that we go back to Chapter 4 on Autosuggestion and read this chapter again to become familiar with how to make use of this part of our mind that remains hidden to our eyes, but holds the power to move us to great heights. RAISING OUR LEVELS OF AWARENESS: UNDERSTANDING THE CONSCIOUS AND SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND IMAGE 1: This is a concept I wrote about with permission from Bob Proctor, in my first book, The Secret for Teens Revealed[xix]. The concept you see in this image of the mind and body originated with the late Dr. Thurman Fleet of San Antonio Texas, circa 1934. Dr. Fleet was the founder of Concept Theory. Bob Proctor was taught this concept from a child psychiatrist from Florida, Dr. John Mike, who transformed millions of others around the world with this understanding. It was this concept that also transformed the results of those teenagers all those years ago who learned how important it was to understand that we think in pictures, starting with this image. If you look at the image, imagine the conscious mind as the top part of your head, and the sub-conscious is the bottom part. Attached to the conscious part of our mind, is our 5 senses, or what we see, hear, smell, taste and touch. This idea teaches us to look BEYOND our 5 senses, (what we see, hear, smell, taste and touch) and begin to develop our higher faculties of our mind that go beyond our senses with (reason, intuition, perception, will, memory and imagination). While working with students with this material, I became very interested in helping them to expand their thinking and even created a video program that teaches these concepts to students, that you can find on the Udemy platform today, called The Secret for Teens Revealed: A 10-Step Blueprint.[xx] Another way to think about all of this, is that David Eagleman reminded us that our “conscious mind-the part you think of as you—is really the smallest part of what's happening in your brain” so to develop the largest part of our brain, would be to learn what's happening in the depths of our subconscious. The conscious mind is important, as it will be this part of our mind that holds our willpower, and our ability to think. IMAGE 2: Shows us of the importance of autosuggestion that Napoleon Hill covered in Chapter 4 of Think and Grow Rich. My diagram here shows that we can change our results in life, by changing what we think about—see how I've written in the conscious mind “We can think.” What we think about will change our self-image, or the image I see of myself. You can do this by thinking or repeating something with emotion which explains why affirmations repeated over time can change your self-image, when they are repeated with emotion, but this process does take time. Since we can THINK with our conscious mind, we can use the power of our SUBCONSCIOUS MIND to work for us, rather than against us and build ourselves into a new and improved version of ourselves, which creates BELIEF. This part of our mind accepts WHATEVER we give it. We build pictures in our conscious mind, we impress them upon our subconscious mind, and the images we create are expressed in our body, that moves into action, and produces results. IMAGE 3: HELPS US TO BRING ORDER TO OUR MIND FOR GUARANTEED RESULTS IMAGE SOURCE: The Secret for Teens Revealed, Samadi, Page 71   THE CONSCIOUS/THINKING MIND: Once we can see how the 3 parts of our mind work together, we bring order to our mind with this image, for guaranteed results. With time, you can learn to use your CONSCIOUS MIND to THINK clearly and build the pictures of what you really want. And what you think about does show up on the outside. In this diagram, I'd written that if I am embarrassed, your body can respond to that thought physical, by blushing, and we've covered how reading the emotions in others is something we can easily learn to do. THE SUBCONSCIOUS/EMOTIONAL MIND: With practice, you'll see that whatever you turn over to your subconscious mind, with emotion added, over time can change your results with this idea of auto-suggestion. This is why Napoleon Hill says we've got to read our goals out loud daily, for this process to occur.   BUT WAIT: What if there's something I want, and I'm doing everything you are saying, but I still don't have this thing that I want? We will cover this more later, but it goes back to understanding our PARADIGMS that control who we are. There is lots to learn here, so just keep studying, revealing more and more about yourself along the way. If you see yourself with great results…and these results aren't happening…there's more work to be done. Remember, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU, but the layers of the subconscious mind just need more work. THE BODY: When you hold something on the screen of your mind, consistently over a period of time, you'll eventually see the results that change your conditions, circumstances and environment, which is the third part of the image. We've talked about this process often on the podcast, especially with people we've interviewed who have transformed their life over the years, like Ryan O'Neill from EPISODE #203.[xxi] Over time, we can train our subconscious mind to work for us, putting our results on auto-pilot, and these result change who we are over time. HOW DO YOU ACTIVATE YOUR SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND AND INCREASE YOUR LEVEL OF AWARENESS? The first step in this process is to go back over the 3 parts of the mind and see if you can explain this picture of the mind, and how it operates to someone else. Once you can see how the conscious-mind, subconscious mind and the body, work together to achieve outstanding results, and you can share this understanding with someone else who can see what you see, then you're on the right track, and you should be able to use this concept in your own life. You've just got to do the work to strengthen your mind, and there's more we will cover more next week, but for now, begin with these 6 STEPS to INCREASE YOUR LEVEL OF AWARENESS, UNLEASHING THE POWER OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. LEARN TO THINK IN PICTURES: VISUALIZE: This was one of the first skills that we taught to the teens when they were beginning to set goals, and it's a skill I'm still working on improving. Jose Silva's program is the best I've ever seen for improving your ability to visualize. If you struggle with seeing an image on the screen of your mind, just start slowly, with pieces of fruit like an apple, or a lemon, and with time, you'll notice you'll begin to see more. START TO MEDITATE (and keep developing this practice): This one will always be at the top of the list as a daily meditation practice will help you to access parts of your mind that you might not be aware of. Jose Silva's program took this practice to the next level for me, and is what I work on daily now. I also love Dan Siegels Wheel of Awareness meditation. There's no right or wrong place to begin here. Just start with something you feel connected to, and stay open minded to trying something new to expand your awareness in still, quiet, thought. DREAM: Not everyone will say their dreams can open up their mind to new thoughts and ideas, but they do for me. If you want to improve this area, make sure you are getting enough REM sleep each night, and see if you can remember what you dreamt about. Write down your dreams, and see if there's anything you can learn from them. It might not happen overnight, but if you can be consistent here, you'll gain incredible insight from this time that your conscious mind goes to sleep, and your unconscious mind soars. SET GOALS: There was this activity I would do with the teens I worked with called the 101 goal list. I remember learning this from the Chicken Soup for Soul author, Mark Victor Hansen, and I think he learned it from a teenager. The idea is that you sit down, and write out 101 things that you want to BE/DO/HAVE. It doesn't have to be material things, but can also be experiences you'd like to have, or places  you'd like to visit. I remember doing this activity for the first time at an airport. After the first 25 things, I couldn't think of any more. The idea is that if you can keep going, you'll begin to tap into your subconscious mind, and begin writing things you might not be consciously aware of. I still have that original list that has somewhere around #50 that I'd like to swim with sharks. I have no idea where this came from, as it's not something I've consciously thought about. Try this activity and see what you discover about yourself. READ YOUR GOALS OUT LOUD: This one really works and might be why saying affirmations out loud works over time. There is a power that comes from reading what you want out loud. Try it. It will feel weird in the beginning, until you switch and begin to own what you are saying. Over time, you will start to believe what you read everyday, and when the belief is there, so will be your goal. BE OPEN TO LEARNING FROM OTHERS: This one goes without saying. Of course if you are listening to this podcast, you will be open to learning from others. But would you purchase a ticket to hear someone speak, or jump on a plane and fly somewhere to meet someone you know you could learn from? Proctor used to do this all the time. I loved his stories of when he would sit in the back of the room and listen to people speaking that he wanted to learn from. These were always life-changing connections and if you've ever experienced this, you'll agree with me that they are well worth the time and effort. If there's something you are working on, and you're stuck in some way, you'll be able to easily put the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle into place with the power that comes from two or more minds working together. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION: To review and conclude this EPISODE #291 on “Unleashing the Power of Our Subconscious Mind” we reviewed our vision for this podcast, where we began and where we we'd like to go over the next 10 seasons. We picked up from where we left off the end of May, with Neuroscientist David Eagleman's work, urging us to look closer at the subconscious mind, since it controls 90% of who we truly are. We reviewed the history of the subconscious mind and why this concept is a foundational step for us in the process of learning who we are. We looked at 6 STEPS for expanding our level of consciousness by diving deeper into developing our SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. This is just the beginning. Next week we will look at the Faculties of the Mind vs the 5 Senses to Expand our level of awareness more, but until then, think about this quote from James Allen, who wrote the book, As a Man Thinketh. He said “Mind is the master power that molds and makes: And Man is Mind, And Evermore He Takes the Tool of Thought, And Shapes What He Wills, Brings Forth a Thousand Joys, A Thousand Ills, He Thinks is Secret and it Comes to Pass, Environment is But His Looking Glass.” The goal is to understand how our mind works, so we can get our thoughts, feelings and actions lined up. That's integrity and not everyone has it. When you can line up how you think, feel and act, the magic happens. What we THINK on a daily basis really matters for where we are going. If the AHA moments haven't happened yet, (or nothing outstanding seems to jump out at you) come back next week, and I'll add some more, with the goal of helping you to expand YOUR awareness, by “seeing” this marvelous power that's held within the depths of our subconscious minds.   See you next week.
