Learn-To-Learn

So often, we have a fear of failure that keeps us from reaching our goals or even allowing ourselves to imagine big goals for our future. If the idea of “failure” doesn’t exist, what are we afraid of? In this micro-series episode, we look at how we imagine the idea of failure and what that causes us to feel. In our episode “Failure Doesn’t Exist,” we go even further to explain how to overcome the fear of failure and set yourself up for the dynamic, successful life that you want.

One of the most powerful ways that we humans learn, whether in school, in relationship or in the workplace is through the role models that we have. If you're wanting to learn how to change the role models that we've internalized or find better role models for better success, you've come to the right place. Internalize better role models and get a better life.

What does shame feel like? Or entitlement? These are two big issues that can impact learning. Let’s take a look at what these feelings look like and how they influence our ability to learn and be successful. We cover strategies on how to mitigate shame and entitlement to be more successful and engage more fully with life in our full podcast, “Trapped by Shame and Entitlement.”

The story that we tell ourselves about who we are and what has happened in our life has a huge impact on what happens in our life today. We explore here how to rewrite that life script and then how to get a different result today. This is easy and well worth doing.

A lot of people we’ve worked with struggle to get out of bed or get started in the morning – the day just seems to drag by, and it’s hard to get going. There are many ways to address this. In this micro-series episode, we touch on just one simple way. We go much further into this strategy and cover a number of others in our full episode, “Start Your Day Right.”

Today we’re doing something a little different and reposting our most popular and highly requested podcast; “Overcoming Overwhelm in Our Learning and Our Lives”.

Feeling overwhelmed too often stops us from getting done what we need to in our lives. It very often stops students from getting their assignments done and doing well on tests. We share here very specific methods for eliminating that experience of being overwhelmed.

Most of us can remember what it was like to be curious as a child, asking tons of questions to try and better understand the world around us. Unfortunately, school often doesn’t encourage curiosity within us and can actually discourage us from it. 

In this micro-series episode, we touch on what it’s like to re-engage with that child-like sense of curiosity. We go much deeper into this in our full episode, “Curiosity Accelerates Learning.”

Most of us have heard of flow states and that they're supposed to be so beneficial to us. But most of us don't know how to access those flow states and how to use them to our advantage. Join us here and exploring that in depth so that you have this advantage.

Reading more has a significant impact on our ability to be successful in life. 

Not only does reading increase our ability to learn, but it can also help reduce stress, help develop emotional intelligence, further integrate neuro pathways, increase overall intelligence... and the list goes on. 

We often turn to screens for other forms of entertainment rather than reading, but that doesn't allow our imagination to engage, helping us to be more creative in our life. In this mini-series episode, we talk more about why it's important and so valuable to engage more heavily in reading.

While typically stress is seen as bad, something to be avoided, we introduce here the idea that certain types of stress can be beneficial to our learning and our development. We unpack this in much more depth, and provide strategies for managing bad stress and nurturing good types of stress in our full podcast episode “Put Stress Behind You.”
