In this Episode I dive into goal-setting.

I explain why it's massively important to set goals and not just coast, or live in the present.

I also look at some self-sabotaging ways people use goal-setting, and how you can recognise these, like escapism and self-flagellation. 

I also share tips on making goal-setting actually work for you in a fun way.

Give it a listen en then set yourself some super specific juicy goals!

In this week's episode, I share a technique that you can use to safely feel and process the emotions you've been trying to avoid.

We all do it - whether we use food, alcohol, social media, shopping, overworking, exercise, etc. We all try to avoid uncomfortable emotions.

But if we're willing to feel them instead, to move through them, so much freedom is available to us on the other side.

I explain all the steps for you to try this on your own, so you can start experiencing what it is like to feel better and what it is like to be at home with yourself.

In this week’s Episode I talk about seven things that stop us from acting on our decisions. 

1. The way your brain is wired
2. Thinking you need to feel good before you take action
3. Not believing you can do it
4. Not being specific about the action to take
5. Not being willing to feel unpleasant emotions
6. Not having your own back
7. Not making the process as easy and fun as possible

I give you tips to counteract all these, so that you can start taking action and moving forward, instead of staying stuck.

Because this Episode is loaded with tips, you'll want to download the transcript. You can find it on my website, via this link

In this second Episode on Black and White thinking I dive into three tools that can help you counter it. If you haven't listened to the previous Episode do check that out first, because will refer back to several concepts I explain there. 

The tools I introduce are:

1. Modifying your language
2. Thought diffusion
3. Breaking things up

I give you lots of examples on how to use these and apply them to your own black and white thinking.

They are all surprisingly simple yet incredibly effective - so give them a try and let me know how it goes!

This week I dive into something that plagues all of us: Black and White thinking.

In this first part, I explain what it is, why we do it, and how it can start sabotaging our lives when it isn't kept in check.

I talk about how it can affect our thinking about our identity, take us from a growth into a fixed mindset, and cause perfectionist paralysis, amongst many other things.

At the end of the Episode I give you some tools and suggestions on how to find those pesky black and white thoughts that colour our perception - because it can be quite hard to catch them.

For this Episode I was inspired by a conversation I had with the fabulous Maisie Hill about what it’s like to be autistic. Do check it out on her wonderful podcast!  Our conversation is  spread out over two episodes: Episode 73 and Episode 74.

In our discussion, we share that one of the reasons we are able to thrive is that we both have designed a life that works with our smart, neurodivergent minds.

Instead of making ourselves and our specific needs wrong, we have (and still are) turning things around. We are designing our life experience to work WITH us, rather than against us.

So on this episode of Managing the Smart Mind I am going to talk about how you can do that too.

It all starts with clearing out the voices in your head that make you wrong for being who you are...

Becoming aware of them, seeing them for what they are, and then letting them go.

A lot of smart humans experience frustration.

Whether it's at work, in daily interactions with other humans, or about the way way organise things on this planet - both at a macro and a micro level.

In this week's podcast I dive into frustration, how it can lead to stress (and eventually burnout), and how it disempowers us.

But you can also use it as a fuel for positive change - in fact, most of my crazy career has been driven by frustration.

Tune in to listen how you can change your thinking about frustration, and use it as a force for good.

This week is all about celebrations, and why they are massively important to your smart mind.

You've probably heard this before: in order to gain confidence, you need to become your own cheerleader. 

But you may find that difficult, awkward, or even painful.

In this episode I give you plenty of leverage to start making the effort, as well as a fresh perspective on the whole 'celebration' thing.

You do not need to channel your inner Tony Robbins. 

You just need to channel your most loving, kindest, self - whatever that may look like.

Tune in to learn how you can start celebrating in a way that works for you, so you can increase your confidence and, at least as important, joy.
