Tall poppy syndrome describes aspects of a culture where people who are excelling are resented, attacked, put down or criticised because they have been classified as 'superior' to their peers. It sucks and it's fairly common, especially in Australia. We've all probably done it... and we've all probably felt the impact at one stage or another.Either way, it's time to stop criticising others when they are excelling and start showing support and encouragement. Coz why the hell not?!During this episode, we discuss this topic and take you through super easy action steps to be a nicer, kinder human.Remember, we never come from a place of perfection... we are all human, we stuff up, we make mistakes. But it's all about how fast we come back to our higher, truthful self and how much awareness we have about our behaviour.Stuff we talked about…

• what is tall poppy syndrome?
• why would we criticise others? Do we do it to make ourselves feel better?
• bullies at school, when you get straight as you're the 'teacher's pet'.
• research performed in New Zealand in 2015 shows that a culture of tall poppy syndrome may result in a reduction in average performance of up to 20%.
• now, it's your time to SHINE BRIGHT!

We've noticed this conversation that keeps on popping up about social media being an extreme negative aspect of life. And we want to 100% disagree and in turn say that it's each of our own personal responsibility to use it in a conscious way. To curate our feeds and who we follow. To utilise the platform for GOOD!And of course, social media can be evil! But this doesn't mean it's ALL evil.
Yes, you can lose connection to yourself and others around you BECAUSE of social media but it can also be used for good! It can connect you more! It can be a way to use your creativity (similar to authors when they write books, or artists when they paint.)
So we can not just label social media as BAD. It's a personal choice, add conscious energy, bring awareness and ask yourself is it good or bad? And how can I change it if I need to?
Stuff we talked about…

• consciously choose how you are using and consuming social media.
• when you discuss social media and the way people use it (actually when you talk about ANYTHING someone else does) add empathy and question yourself, are you potentially shaming someone else?
• social media can actually help you connect MORE.
• we touch on social media for business and why/how not to get attached to chasing likes.

This episode is really quite strange, yes it's about kindness but it's more like an actual Emma and Carla conversation about our lives (maybe this is every episode? Hah). Anyway, it's the perfect episode to tune into if you are sick of your nasty thoughts. Or maybe you need to/want to start being more kind in general!
Stuff we talked about…

• how to be kind to someone when the other person is being a complete butthead. And why this is important!
• why you shouldn't take things so personally.
• why we are kind of over the term self-love. Maybe self-kindness is better?
• how to get over stupid fights and arguments with your loved ones.

Send us a message after you listen and we will leave you with this by Og Mandino..."Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again."
