Episode 135 welcomes back Griz (Grazina) Fechner, a communication expert based in Sydney, Australia.

Griz regularly features on 7 Network's 'The Morning Show' to explain human interaction and behaviour. (Previously on episodes 50 and 79) 

In this episode we explore the psyche of those currently living through and coping with the lockdowns across Australia. We discuss how and why this lockdown is probably being perceived differently to last year and share some personal insights into how it's affected us personally.

We learn about how improve our motivation, optimism and mindset including:

- the concept of 'stability rocks' 

- learning to let go of issues that you can't control

- that we're not our own thoughts and to acknowledge positivity instead of focusing only on the negatives

- preparing for unpredictable situations

- the use of 'to do' lists to prioritise & create a sense achievement

- the importance of maintaining (or creating) a daily routine

- what 'The Nun' study demonstrated about the importance of happiness in life

- how rarely, happiness can also be inappropriate and 'toxic'
