Immersion

If you feel like something is missing in your life, that just may be the case. Humans crave adventure, meaning, and to be a part of something bigger than themselves - unfortunately this is not how many of our lives in the modern world are constructed. So how do we go about finding this meaning, fulfillment, and adventure if it is not necessarily inherent to our daily lives anymore? This is where we dive into finding that.

We discuss: 
• Examples of areas to find meaning, adventure, or connection
• How this relates to Maslow's hierarchy of needs
• Some questions to ask yourself if you are uncertain of the next steps to take

“How do we actually stick to the workout plan, stop procrastinating, or break the pull of the vice we have been hooked on?” 

These questions bounced around in my mind for a long time. I studied, read, and wrote on them, but after years of searching, a large part of the solution was realizing that there actually weren't any simple solutions. Finally seeing that I was looking for a hack or a tip to try to escape the moment of choice. 

What if part of the solution is leaning INTO the human freedom we are all faced with in our tough choices?

That freedom we are trying to run from when we make a bold claim such as: I will never do _____ again. Or I will always do _______.
(Fill in the blank with a goal you have quit on, a habit that is hard to change, or a resolution that has spent years on your mind in January and always gone a few months later.)

 What if the answer is in philosophy, not psychology? 

If you set out to change a habit, and then something consistently derails you, this week’s episode is for you. Whether your Achilles heel is changing how you eat, reducing screen time, or another behavior - I believe this applies to all of us from time to time. In this video/podcast we will explore the following:

• Sartre's notion of good faith
• One tip that has changed my life in regard to this
• Behavioral economics and the U-shaped curve of motivation
• An experiment you can try, which helps apply the advice in this episode

And if it is, does that mean we can be whoever we want to be? In this week's podcast I discuss the ways our personality is stable (genetics, temperament etc.) and we separate out the ways we have taken on a personality, similar to an unconscious costume, to get our needs met in the world. 

Other topics covered: 

• How we have told ourselves stories about who we are - can we change the story?
• What does the research say about this? 
• Personality tests and typing 
• Comparison: comparing ourselves to others, to prior versions of ourselves, and comparing our personality in different settings. 
• Ego and identity - forming a notion of who we are based on what we are rewarded for.
• Is personality simply a pattern we have fallen into? And if so, how do we change it and form new patterns? (If desired) 

How fixed or fluid is personality really? Listen to dive in.

Sometimes it feels as if life is moving too fast. We don't have time for what matters to us. We aren't even enjoying it. Life is coming at us rather than getting to fully experience it. We look back on the years - where did they go? This podcast episode is about that.
