Happy New Year and welcome back for Season 4 of The Mindgame Podcast. 2022 wasn't the busiest but 2023 is going to be right up there with them. With that said, I wanted to kick off the first episode in the New Year focused on a new mindset to break the cycle of old.
New Years Resolutions are outdated, are misleading and not trustworthy. The New Year Same Me Mindset is about creating real and lasting change that is relative to you, change that you truly want, not what others want. In this episode we take a dive into why New Years Resolutions are a thing of the past, how the Fresh Start Effect can benefit you and what you can do to start making lasting positive change in your life.
We all struggle to achieve our goals at some point in our lives, we fall off the wagon and we give up on ourselves. Always asking, 'why is this happening?' Never being able to come to a proper conclusion. In this weeks episode, I dive into the idea of 'instant gratification' also known as present bias and why it might be the trap keeping us from achieving what we want in life.
Not only do I try to create and understanding around what it is but I also go through some helpful, thought provoking and practical tips which come from the best behavioural scientists and psychologists.

In this week’s episode I dive into the topic of Motivation and why we may currently find ourselves living in a state of despair and lack lustre. I dissect motivation from its biological beginnings to its current form of Motivation 3.0 which is grounded in the findings from Daniel Pinks book Drive - The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us. I also try to answer the question as to how we become more motivated going forward.

In this weeks episode I take a deep dive into some important rules which I choose to live my life by as much as possible. Using these seven rules as a lense, I disect them, broaden them and speak about how you could possibly apply them to your own realtive life and situation. Using personal experience and grounding it in psychological insight/tools, I try to make the concepts clear to understand.
The Seven Rules are as follows;
Rule 1 Let go - Learning not to attach your identity, your being and your existence to one moment in your day or life, is a superpower Rule 2 Ignore them - by them I mean don’t listen to other people, don’t follow the opinions of the masses if it isn’t something you truly resonate with, live a life that is empowering to you, that fulfils you, that satisfies you, that helps you to be happy and most of all, the lights your match, and keeps your soul burning. Rule 3 Give it time - probably the hardest to accept as part of life and it is the concept of give it time. Time heals everything and as difficult as breakups, deaths of loved ones, loss of jobs, frustrations of life progress and failure can be, the only thing that can truly fix all of those things, is time. Rule 4 Don't compare - Yourself or your life to anyone. The only person you should try to be is yourself, the only person you should try to beat is the person you were yesterday Rule 5 Stay calm - Being calm in the face of emotions and being remaining calm on your journey. Rule 6 It's ALL on you - You are the only one in charge of your happiness, your wellbeing, your growth and your life. Rule 7 Smile - Life is way too short, so enjoy it while you can. We often times take things too seriously and we forget that everyday we wake up, we are literally a step closer to death and although that is a reality which is not meant to scare you, we sometimes forget that it’s happening. So would you not rather live a life filled with moments and experiences that you value, cherish and enjoy instead of hate?

This weeks solo episode dives into the idea of happiness. More specifically, what we are possibly convincing ourselves to believe as 'real' happiness. In the modern era we live in, where distractions and quick stimulation are at the forefront of day-to- day living, the brain has been conditioned to seek out and hunt quick hits, highs.
In this weeks episode I chat about the idea of happiness and through a psychological lens shed light on whether we are actually living happiness or constantly chasing highs which are disguised as happiness. Which is leading us further down a path of dissatisfaction and and unfulfilled life.
