We cannot give to others if we do not have to give anything ourselves. Self-care is not selfish, but necessary. Psychology is all around us, and it is present in everything that we do.

According to legend, Thomas Edison made thousands of prototypes of the incandescent light bulb before he finally got it right. And, since the prolific inventor was awarded more than 1,000 patents, it’s easy to imagine him failing on a daily basis in his lab at Menlo Park. In spite of struggling with “failure” throughout his entire working life, Edison never let it get the best of him. All of these...

Research suggests that people who can come up with solutions to a problem are better able to cope with problems than those who cannot. This is because the better we evaluate and solve the problems that arise in our lives, the quicker we can recover from the issues we face.

Emotional experiences stick with people, last longer in their memories, and are easier to recall. And extensive neuroscience research in recent decades makes clear that emotions are essential in our reasoning process: Strong emotions can pull us off course, but in general, emotions support better decision making. So, while you’ll want to avoid triggering a threat response, don’t try to remove all...

"You need to wake up from autopilot mode. You have to live deeply and with more awareness so that you can be attentive to each moment."- Thich Nhat Hanh  In my previous episodes, we spend a lot of time talking about being present, being mindfully self-aware, recognizing our habitual patterns, and providing opportunities for delving in to connect with our deeper selves. The underlying ide...

Mindfulness teaches us how to deal with life’s challenges in a calmer manner. It is not the answer to all of life’s problems but rather it allows us to see our problems more clearly, be in touch with our body and be able to respond in a discerning way rather than reacting with high emotion. It is a particular way of paying attention and looking deeply into oneself. It teaches us how to let go of t...

Self-management is synonymous with maturity, and maturity is born of responsibility. You cannot be mentally or emotionally healthy and resilient if you are not responsible. People with maturity understand a great truth, they understand that life can be difficult. In being able to accept this fact about life, mature people learn to handle life in all of its difficulties, not expecting it to be diff...

Clinical psychology and psychodynamic theory suggest that many of our beliefs, opinions, perceptions, and ideas arise from our past experiences, whether these are conscious or subconscious. It seems to be a common belief that adverse experiences in childhood can carry through to our adult lives and affect the way we relate to others and function in our personal and professional lives. Listen.  Pra...

Pilates is a full-body workout that incorporates the use of springs and bodyweight exercises to emphasize the control of the core, and p...

The ability to motivate yourself is an important skill to have in life. Self-motivation drives us to keep going even in the face of setbacks, to take up opportunities, and to show commitment to what we want to achieve. Self-motivation is in its simplest form, the force that drives us to do things. This topic of self-motivation, however, is far from simple. We can be motivated by many things, both...

As humans, we are not made to live isolated lives. We are meant to support each other and be connected to each other through solid and trustful connections, as well as loving and supportive friendships. What happens when this is missing? As an introvert, I have learned that as much as I love my solitude, I still need to refine my awareness of the needs of others in my life. In this episode, I take...

We have all felt anger: whether as a fleeting annoyance or as full-fledged rage. Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems- problems at work, in your personal relationships and in the overall quality of your life. And it can make you feel as though you are at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerfu...
