148. Intuition
Listen in this week to discover why the framing of intuition as something you use to categorize an experience doesn’t serve you, how it gets confused with feelings of anxiety, and the role of cognitive bias here. You need to examine the assumption that you should act on something without question if it’s coming from your intuition, and I’m guiding you through this process today.Get full show notes and more information here: https://unfuckyourbrain.com/148

145. Mental Flexibility
Join me this week as I show you what mental flexibility is and why this skill is crucial in thought work.

144. Get Out of Other People's Models
Join me on the podcast today as I show you when it’s useful to think about other people’s models, when it’s not, and why. Making your mental and emotional state contingent upon what other people might be thinking, feeling, or doing is useless and a waste of energy, and my goal is to show you that you never have to know what someone else is thinking to decide what you are going to think.Get full show notes and more information here: https://unfuckyourbrain.com/144
