The psychology behind the slower, softer life, and why we are seeing more people return to this
5d ago00:40:46Tap to summarizeIn a world where social media reigns supreme, it's easy to get caught up in the endless scroll and lose sight of what truly matters. But what if you could break free from the cycle of comparison and distraction, and find a sense of calm and clarity in a world that's increasingly chaotic? This episode is all about the psychology of the slow life, where we're talking about moving away from addictive content and towards longer, more intentional forms of media. In this episode I talk about the benefits of stepping away from social media, including improved focus and attention, lower anxiety and stress, and a greater sense of presence and connection with the world around us. I also go into the importance of being mindful of our attention and how it's being used, and how we can start to make changes to our social media habits to prioritize what's truly important to us. And of course some practical tips and advice for anyone looking to start their own journey towards a slower, more intentional life. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the demands of social media and want to find a more balanced way of living, this episode is a must-listen. Join me over the next 30 days to explore the benefits of a slower pace of life, and discover how you can start to make changes to your own social media habits to focus on what truly matters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Transcribe →How to not let people use your insecurities against you, and finally become comfortable in your own skin
1w ago00:58:02Tap to summarizeAhhhh Insecurities. I feel like they are used against us in all areas of life. Advertising, social media, internet trolls, trends, unhealthy relationships and even well meaning friends and family! this ep uncovers what insecurities actually are, the common behaviors to look out for in yourself, and how to learn to live with, embrace or change (in a healthy way) the things that you are insecure about so they no longer control you and how you move forward in life. Secure people are not those with zero 'flaws' or things that they don't love, they are people that despite these 'things' are able to love who they are and be comfortable with that. and when that happens, no one can use your insecurities against you.
