decide you can
We're Laura & Susie, two sisters and best friends who both work in the 9-5 world regularly distracting ourselves with Pinterest-worthy inspiration, running, barre workouts and regular Skype chat.
Our podcast is a chance for us to share some of our chat in a productive way and hopefully help inspire others to interact with a positive mindset & offer some fresh challenge to your everyday lives.
In this episode we talk about breaking bad habits and creating good ones. We discuss a magazine article that discusses what to look out for when changing habits and we share some examples of good habits we've created in our own lives - around clean eating and running. We close with a bit of a question around whether our thought-reactions are habits or characteristics and look forward to chatting about this in more detail soon! If you have any questions or comments feel free to get in touch via our blog www.decideyoucan.com
We're back after a little hiatus!! In this episode we take you to the quote 'change your thoughts and you'll change your world' and think about how applying a growth mindset to challenging situations has the power to turn things around for the positive. Susie and I reflect on inspiration we've found in our lives to help us adjust our mindsets regularly and talk about the challenges we face as we try to frame things up in a more positive light.

In this episode of Decide You Can we discuss the amazing TED lecture by Shawn Achor around the power of positivity and the impact it could have if we focus on those that are above average. We talk about our own reflections on positivity and how we impact others whilst thinking about the challenges of finding a balance between being solutions focused and a good sounding board.
In this episode we talk about 'flow' and how you find the right balance between being too comfortable (and unmotivated) and too on edge (and stressed) - a term called 'comfortably edgy'.
Our quote this week is by Kurt Vonnegut — "I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the centre".
We also share some tips to apply that can help bring you back into a place of 'flow'.
In this episode of decide you can we talk about our learning styles, I recommend we put the amazing TED lecture by Kelly McGonigal about stress management into practice throughout the week and Susie takes us through how her learning style for her distance learning can help as she learns new skills in a new role. We finish up with our quote of the week: decide you can (we had to discuss it in our first episode really) and what it means to each of us.
