The Business Brain

Welcome to today's episode of the podcast, where we will be discussing why your plans might not be working out.

As with most of the challenges we discuss on this podcast, this situation requires us to engage a range of cognitive functions and thinking skills related to why our plans are not working out. Thinking is made up of 28 cognitive functions, 28 thinking skills that affect most of our daily activities. Some of these skills are stronger than others, and the weaker ones can make it hard for us to do what we want to do.

In order to make a plan and follow it through, we need to use a variety of thinking skills, including holding multiple pieces of information at once, time management, hypothetical thinking, categorization, comparison, and the need to make a plan, among others. Today, however, we will be focusing on the cognitive function of episodic grasp of reality.

Episodic grasp of reality refers to our ability to understand reality, to understand what happens in life and how life works. This cognitive function is critical to our ability to navigate the world around us and to make sense of our experiences. When we have a good grasp of reality, we are better able to adapt to changes in our plans, to adjust our expectations, and to stay motivated in the face of setbacks. Let's discuss how we can improve this cognitive function!

Today, we're not talking about cognitive functions, but instead, we'll be discussing how to give negative feedback effectively without telling someone what to do. People generally don't like being told what to do, especially when they're doing something wrong, and you're coming along to tell them it's time to do something else. So, how can we give negative feedback without sounding too critical?

The best way to tell someone is not to tell them but to ask them questions to help them come to the conclusion themselves. This process is called mediation. If you've listened to episodes 354 and 381, you'll be familiar with what we're talking about.

We'll be discussing 5 tips to give good mediational feedback with a BONUS on how to accept negative feedback.

Get ready to explore ways to reduce impulsivity and make better decisions. If you're someone who is quick to say things you wish you hadn't or make decisions that you later regret, then this episode is for you.

First, let's start with understanding what impulsivity is. Impulsivity is a cognitive deficiency that causes a person to act without thinking or considering the consequences of their actions. It can lead to impulsive behaviors, such as acting on impulse or without forethought, which can result in negative outcomes.

But, the good news is that reducing impulsivity is possible. And in this episode, we're going to show you how.

In this podcast episode, we learn that the parietal lobe is the part of the brain responsible for choosing to focus. In order to improve our focusing abilities, we need to develop this area of our brain and create more neuron connections there. We need to make it a fully developed area with smooth roads instead of rocky paths.

The parietal lobe is also responsible for our sense of touch. By improving our sense of touch, we can automatically improve our ability to focus. Our brain usually sees something before it feels it and makes assumptions about what it will feel like. In order to improve our sense of touch, we need to take away our sense of sight and let our sense of touch develop.

To improve our sense of touch, the podcast provides us with some practical examples that we can use in our daily lives.
