Retrain your Brain for success

With professors being targeted, and speakers being rejected, is cancel culture causing us to merely 'avoid' rather than learn the skills of critical thinking and debate?

This episode seeks to explain 'cancel culture' as well as look at some of the benefits, but also problems arising from so called 'social media mob rule'. 
The next episode explores its challenge to free speech on the academic context.

A lot of big events have been postponed or cancelled and that's left us feeling down. Yet sometimes we may feel 'am I just being trivial when so much grief is around?!'. No matter what, it is OK to feel exactly as you do, and suppressing it can do more harm than good. This podcast looks at managing disappointment from cancelled plans.

Even animals have a sense of Fairness and will 'act up' if they feel they've missed out. So, are you 'shopping in' neighbours for covid breaches? Are you tutting at the lack of masks? Are you judging before processing the full situation (and could that be shielding you from dealing with your own stuff!?) 
Why are we judgmental and what can we do instead?

Acceptance doesn't mean 'giving up', but it does mean working from a point of reality. When we can be honest with where we are and what we want we can move forward with confidence and togetherness as we all know where we stand.

Stress in the 21st century is often more psychological than physical, so we must tackle it in kind. While of course external support is both welcomed and helpful, we ourselves can build our inner strength - our mental and emotional fortitude - our personal power, in order to achieve what we desire. This psychological fitness will help us sustain our motivation, choose our behaviours for the best outcome and drive us forward even when we're exhausted. And the more give ourselves these little energy boosts, the stronger we become.

You know you are in survival mode when your human nature to help is tainted by fleeting thoughts of 'No one helped me', 'How will you repay this' or 'Oh I have to worry about you too' 

It's NOT self care that makes us selfish - that helps us bring back balance so we can function on the balance between emotion and logic. 'Survival mode' - is what makes us ask (even unconsciously 'what about me!?') 

Giving or helping when in balance means we do so freely. And better recognise when we receive it in return.

We're NOT in the same boat - but we all face the same storm and that gives us the compassion and empathy to help and hold onto each other. This uplifting podcast explores hope and how we can seek it from, and be it for, others. 
Be strong.
