Monday Mindset

Episode #147

In this week’s episode, Terri shares from an episode that really excited her. Many of our recent episodes have contained discussions about the importance of social connections, and previous episodes gave pointers on some things to help us all age optimally. So this week Terri follows this line of thought through sharing about being in flow as part of this process. She also feels affirmed for pursuing her goal to learn how to ski—come learn why! 

She explains what she learned listing to Jim Kwik’s Kwik Brain Podcast Grow Old, Stay Rad: Unlocking Your Full Potential With Steven Kotler.

Episode #146

What happens when you run out of time to prep for recording? Time to introduce Wildcard Weeks where we just talk about more general things we have been listening to that don’t quite fit the usual mould but are interesting (at least to us) nonetheless!

So this week, Daisy chats about some books she has been listening to on Audible as well as some of the thoughts churning around while she is busy DIYing.

Black and British: A Forgotten History by David Olusoga

The Windrush Betrayal: Exposing the Hostile Environment by Amelia Gentleman

The Snakehead: An Epic Tape of the Chinatown Underworld and the American Dream by Patrick Radden Keefe

Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Radden Keefe

Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Radden Keefe

To Paradise by Hanya Yanagihara

Episode #145

In this week’s episode Terri shares some additional thoughts about the importance that social connections have in creating our happiness and protecting our health. And she and Daisy emphasize that this does not mean everyone must have a primary romantic relationship to achieve these benefits. 

This discussion was sparked by the Kwik Brain Podcast’s episode Lessons From The World’s Longest Study on Happiness.

Episode #144

This week, Daisy dips her toe into the murky waters of sexism after listening to two very thought-provoking books by Laura Bates, who founded the Everyday Sexism Project. As usual, Terri offers some valuable insights and ideas about how we might better advocate for ourselves and others. 

You can watch Laura’s TED Talk here:

Her books are in the Plus catalogue (so free if you have an Audible membership) in the UK, possibly also elsewhere; the Plus catalogue varies quite a lot by country.

Episode #143

In this week’s episode, Terri shares a brief overview of a powerful topic that so many of us have likely struggled with—self-hate. 

She describes three ways that we can work to release and avoid self-hate that she learned from the Motivation with Brendon Burchard: I Had Self-Hate Too.

Episode #142

We’ve all done it, we’ve all succumbed to the lure of the pings and dings and pop-up message notifications. There’s a reason they are too enticing to resist. You’ve no doubt experienced the loss of productivity in what you are supposed to be doing when you take the odd break here, there and everywhere to scroll your social media feed. But what if I told you this might be impacting more than the task you are in the middle of doing? 

Join us to find out how these distractions might be impacting a whole lot more than you realise.

Episode #141

Terri really enjoyed this week’s topic—a special request from Daisy! 

As we approach a holiday focused on LOVE, what a great time to explore something that can improve the nature of our relationship. Understanding how our partners or loved ones feel loved, and helping them to understand our love language can really strengthen our relationship bonds. Hopefully, you will enjoy Terri’s overview of the concept described in The 5 Love Languages: The Secret To Love That Lasts by Gary Chapman:

Episode #140

If you were asked to describe your closest friends and what they mean to you, what would you say? If you find it difficult to answer, you are not alone. One in four Americans report feeling lonely, and here in Great Britain, we have a minister of loneliness to try and tackle the problem. Because it is a major health problem and it is not getting any better. So what can you do to improve this part of your life? Well there’s no simple recipe, but it’s never too late to take a few small steps in the right direction. 

Tune in as Daisy shares an article from the Next Big Idea Club website in which authors Marc Shulz and Robert Waldinger share five key insights from their book, The Good Life: Lessons from the World’s Longest Scientific Study of Happiness.

Episode #139

This week, Terri ventured into listening to a new podcast from her usual list of favorites and found an episode that really struck home. She shares her takeaways from a dive into the topic of loneliness and one of its antidotes—making friends. The challenge to this antidote for Terri and so many of us is that making friends as an adult is filled with more barriers and fewer opportunities as an adult than it was as a kid. 

Terri summarizes and personalizes The Secret to Making Friends as an Adult | The Happiness Lab | Dr. Laurie Santos:

Episode #138

Which are you more likely to say when you recount an event: “At least…” or “If Only…”? 

This week, Daisy follows on from the Regrets episode with an article from The Behavioural Scientist by the same author, Daniel H Pink, entitled What Can We Learn from the Solace of ‘At Least’ and the Sting of ‘If Only’?
