Daily 1% Mindset Podcast: Recent Episodes
Nate
Hello! My name is Nate Marowsky, and welcome to the Daily 1% Mindset Podcast. Inspired by Rob Dial's, "The Mindset Mentor," this podcast is designed to be straightforward, 0 filler, to the point applicable information. Episodes vary from 10-25 minutes, which I intended to be convenient for those that listen to podcasts on the way to and from work, in the gym, on a walk, or simply don't have the want or time to listen to an hour-long episode. Episodes are uploaded every Saturday at 06:00 AM Eastern. Some of you may be asking, "why is it called the Daily 1% Mindset Podcast if he only uploads once a week?" If you asked that question, I'm glad you did! The Daily 1% Mindset means that every day, we drive to improve something in our lives by at least 1%, whether it be our physical health, mental health, mindset, relationships, etc. The title is meant to represent daily and consistent growth. If you are looking for a way to grow just a little bit each day, then consider listening to the Daily 1% Mindset Podcast and applying these lessons throughout your week.
If anyone wondered why I stopped making episodes, this episode explains it. Long story short, my motives for making the podcast were not sustainable, so my attitude toward it suffered. It came down to only producing these episodes in hopes of one day making money. In turn, the quality of these episodes suffered; I didn't feel like I was making them for the right reasons anymore.
I do plan to bring the podcast back. It won't be uploaded once a week, but my goal is to upload episodes every other week. This is contingent on my time management skills and dedication. Thank you all for listening; I look forward to picking this up again.
In this episode, I go over the difference between being disciplined and having discipline. Understanding the difference between the two allows us to be more willing to practice having discipline in our own lives.
Discipline is something that requires more than just doing a task. It requires you to have confidence and belief in yourself, the ability to follow through, the ability to see an end goal, and the ability to of course stick with something despite many mental and emotional factors.
Anybody has the ability to have discipline. All it takes is time, patience, and consistency. Easier said than done, but understanding how discipline helps you avoid getting in your own head will make wanting to become more disciplined easier to grasp. Having discipline opens up so many doors that we would not have otherwise noticed if we went with the flow and did whatever we desired to do.
In this episode, I discuss what stress is, how stress impacts us, and ways of managing and reducing stress. Many will find that a lot of the stress they feel can be melted away through different techniques and exercises like practicing mindfulness, taking action, and grounding themselves in the present moment.
Many people decide how they deal with stress, yet they may not realize that they are making subconscious decisions when doing so. Stress can and will easily creep through all areas of our life if we allow it to. In order to manage stress, we need to realize that we have control over the stress we feel.
Taking action to change stressful situations is another large component of managing stress. If you are unhappy with your current circumstances, are you taking some form of action to change them? What steps are you taking to make things better for yourself? Often times people realize that they are doing minimal, if not any effort at all.
Grounding yourself is important when managing stress. Realizing where you are and what is happening to you in the current moment is curial to relieving stress. This can be done through different techniques such as guided deep breathing and focusing on each of your senses individually and simultaneously.
Stress can be managed, but the art of doing so requires patience, practice, and most importantly, action.
In this episode, I go over how habits are formed and how to change bad habits into more desirable ones. After reading Charles Duhigg’s, The Power of Habit, I have compiled a list of key takeaways that I personally found helpful in changing habits within my own life.
Habits consist of three things. Cues, Routines, and Rewards. The key to changing a habit is to keep the same cue and reward, but change the routine. Habits are driven by cravings, which is a feeling we get as a result of a cue. Most times, habits can not be erased from our brains. But, these habits CAN be changed into new desirable behaviors.
Changing a habit allows your brain to rewire the neural pathways of the old habit into desirable actions and outcomes of a new habit. Note that most habits are subconscious, meaning they are performed without thinking, so becoming aware of these habits takes some introspection.
Changing a habit requires self-awareness, discipline, and most importantly, belief. These are three vital components to habit change, you can not change a habit when any three of these are missing. Belief is arguably the largest component. The change will not happen until you believe that you are capable of changing.
