Mind Love™ • Consciousness, Spirituality, and Science for Awakening

We will learn: What the Magnetic Memory Method is and how it works. How frustration hinders memory and how to release it. How to create memories that stick not just in your short-term memory, but for years and years and years. How good is your memory? If you learn something new, does your brain recall associated information you learned a month ago? It may not seem like a big deal if you need a reminder here or there, but did you know that improving your memory also improves your mental well-being? So the question is, how do we consciously improve our memories? That’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Anthony Metivier. He is the founder of the Magnetic Memory Method, a systematic, 21st Century approach to memorizing foreign language vocabulary, names, music, poetry and much more in ways that are easy, elegant, effective and fun.

We will learn: How to say goodbye to unhealthy patterns of shame, guilt, and worry. The lies we believe when we worry. How to develop a realistic relationship with the present moment in a world full of distraction.  Wanna know what’s strange? The present moment is literally all we have, yet somehow it’s the most elusive place to be. Usually we replay things that have already happened, come up with things we should have done, or should have said, OR we worry about something that hasn’t happened yet. But guess what? You are the one with the power to disrupt the cycle to find peace and even guidance. So today we’re going to learn to tap into it. Our guest is Jeanne Stevens. She’s the founding and co-lead pastor of Soul City Church in Chicago, one of America's fastest-growing urban churches.

We will learn: Why we find it so much easier to focus on some thing we consider play rather than something we consider work.  Why it doesn’t work when we try to enjoy something.  4 techniques he calls the “S Words” that help you to develop control over your practicing mind.  When was the last time you practiced something in order to get better at it?  If you’re into sports or musical instruments you probably have a leg up on most adults, but even then, a lot of people just lean into the skills they already have rather than picking up new ones. The thing about practicing, or practicing well I should say, is that it’s a total present moment activity. Our guest is Thomas M. Sterner. He is the founder and CEO of The Practicing Mind Institute. He is considered an expert in Present Moment Functioning or PMF.

We will learn:  The consequences of secrets and how to know when to open up.  The distinction between secrecy and privacy. The psychology of “positive secrets” (i.e. a proposal, a surprise party, a promotion).  On average we each carry 13 secrets. 13 things that we are just unwilling to share with people. This is so shocking to me because I know how secrets can affect a person… and I’ll give you a hint: overall it’s not great. So what do we do about it? How do we know when a secret is harmful and how do we make it more bearable to open up? That’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Michael Slepian. He is the leading expert on the psychology of secrets. Slepian has authored more than fifty articles on secrecy, truth, and deception.  Links from the episode: Show Notes: https://mindlove.com/X86 Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes from your highest self.  Get Mind Love Premium for exclusive ad-free episodes and monthly meditations.  Support Mind Love Sponsors See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We will learn: Why your mental health diagnosis is not your identity.  Surprising questions to ask your doctor when you receive a diagnosis.  Why our conversation about mental health has stagnated and how to progress it.  Did you know that there’s absolutely no way to measure or prove that you have any of the common (or uncommon) mental health diagnoses? This has a ton of negative implications including overprescribing and misdiagnosing. The other big issue with the inaccuracy of these diagnoses is that your mind is powerful. And most people begin to identify with their diagnosis. So today we’re talking about how mental health issues are diagnosed and how you can use this knowledge to make informed decisions when it comes to your mental health.  Our guest is Sarah Fay. She’s on the faculty at Northwestern University and the founder of Pathological: The Movement. She is also the author of "Pathological: The True Story of Six Misdiagnoses".

We will learn: Why our drives for outer and inner success usually clash. How to activate your five core energies. Our three natural states of consciousness. Are your goals for your outer world and your inner world aligned?  Either, in the pursuit for outer success– material wealth, or wanting to be liked and loved, supported and promoted– you ignore that quiet subtle voice of your spirit. Or in your pursuit of inner peace, you struggle with money or strain relationships. So today we’re talking about how aligning your five core energies holds the key to success. Our guest is Hitendra Wadhwa, author of the forthcoming book, “Inner Mastery, Outer Impact”, Professor of Practice at Columbia Business School, and founder of Mentora Institute, an inspiring and personalized approach to developing leaders.

We will learn: The powers of a bittersweet, melancholic outlook.  Why our world is so blind to the value of our pain.  How to transform grief into healing, creativity, and peace of mind.  Life can be painful. We get hurt. Or scared. We lose people. We start over. So we feel the pain of fear or loss, grief or longing. Some say the highs of your joy are equal to the depths of your pain. So today we’re talking about the transformation that happens when we experience sorrow and longing.  Our guest is Susan Cain. You may know her as the author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking, which spent eight years on The New York Times bestseller list, and has been translated into 40 languages. She also has a TED talk that has been viewed over 40 million times. Her new masterpiece book is Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole.

We will learn: What happens to our brains on social media.  How narcissism on social media affects relationships.  How to spot narcissistic predators. Is Social Media turning you into a narcissist? The constant barrage of shallow rewards from social media rewires your brain to want more of that dopamine release, which leads to social media addiction. But here’s the thing, it’s not just that you become addicted to the app, you become addicted to yourself. Or the story of you that you’re putting out there. Our guest is Lena Derhally. She is a licensed psychotherapist in private practice. She is also the author of The Facebook Narcissist: How to Identify and Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones from Social Media Narcissism.
