Tiny Leaps, Big Changes

In this episode we are talking about the process of learning something new. This is something that I do  constantly since  I am  always learning a new skill. Through doing this  I built up a mental model that helps me understand what to expect when I go into something new and can be helpful for you too.

Is your memory actually reliable? Well, the truth is, human memory is fickle and it can be easily altered, forgotten, or overwritten. In this episode we are talking about whether or not memory can actually be trusted because our memory might be a lot more flexible than we all realize. Join Sparkology: http://sparkology.co/tinyleaps Key Points: The science behind why our recollections vary What affects our ability to remember How our brains prefer to remember the positive 4 Simple things you can do about it Notable Quote: “We tend to think that memories are stored in our brains just as they are in computers. Once registered, the data is put away for safekeeping and eventual recall. The facts don't change, but neuroscientists have shown that each time we remember something, we are reconstructing the event, reassembling it from traces throughout the brain.” - Ken Eisold PHD

In this episode I'm sitting down with Ross Everett. Ross is the creator of a show and author of a book called Stop Stopping the Unstoppable.

Key Points: How Ross used humor to create a love-laugh relationship with the self help industry And how he found himself at clown school Using your unique gifts to solve problems Finding success in authenticity Notable Quote: “If you are trying to be something that you're not, if you are inauthentic, it is not funny. And the whole world will feel that. “ - Ross Everett Important Links: Warby Parker: http://warbyparker.com/tinyleaps Stop Stopping the Unstoppable :  https://www.stopstoppingtheunstoppable.com

In this episode we are talking about negativity and how to deal with negative people, negative energy and how to break this cycle when it is really tough to break out of. There is a lot of science around this so we explore the placebo effect and the nocebo effect, why it matters and how we can change it. I'm am also going to be sharing a little bit about what has worked for me. Key Points: · Placebo effect vs. Nocebo effects · Why to not cut people out · Why to Protect your emotions · The value in practicing positivity and negativity · Remembering to take a deep breath Quote from: John Kelley, Ph.D., deputy director of Harvard Medical School's Program in Placebo Studies & Therapeutic Encounter. "Whenever you look at any randomized control trials, it’s surprising how similarly the side-effect profile for the placebo often mirrors the side-effect profile for the active [treatment]... It’s the power of the imagination. …. Just imagining something is happening is enough to activate those portions of the brain associated with that thought, or worry, or pain.”

Today we are talking about self awareness and why it's so incredibly important.  If we want to be happy with ourselves and live a life that feels good, the first place we need to start is an understanding what exactly is self-awareness and how it can help us. In this episode we explore; What self awareness is How we improve it Why it is important as we grow How to self reflect Notable Quote: "Self-awareness is important because as we move forward, as we progress, as we take our tiny leaps and move towards a goal, we tend to forget that the person we started at is just as amazing as the person we're trying to become."
