The Space

All or nothing thinking is when you evaluate your life in extreme terms. It makes you evaluate your life in only two ways; perfection or utter failure. We can let this way of thinking creep into how we describe our weeks, and even days – and this deletes all the medium moments and okayness of our lives! In this episode we’re going to teach you how to stop doing it – and feel fine with being fine.

We all make a LOT of decisions a day – over 35,000 a day according to estimates. A lot of those choices have an immediate effect on our happiness. They also have a long term effect on our progress. Lucy Hone studies the habits of resilient people. After her three children tragically passed away in a motor accident, she used one sentence a LOT to deal with the aftermath; “Is this helping or harming me?” Using Lucy’s experience let’s explore this idea further, and take the struggle out of decision making.

Stress is shit, it’s a truth universally acknowledged. It stops us sleeping and it can even reduce our life expectancy. One study found that people who experienced a lot of stress had shortened life expectancy BUT only for the people who believed that stress was harmful for their health. The theory?  If we can see stress as a good thing it won’t be able to hurt us. SO how on earth can we do that? Well listen to the damn episode to find out, cause we’re not going to spell it out for you!
