Flourish: Live an Inspired Life: Recent Episodes

Diane Planidin

Flourish explores how to live an Inspired Life. I know that you believe in yourself, you believe in self-development and helping your children or those you influence live with a healthy mind, body and heart. For that, I applaud you.

The goal of this show is to help you not only raise healthy & happy children, but to also work on your own personal development. We are all born with a Gift. We are all born with Purpose. Life‘s journey is to hone and develop that Gift, as purpose changes within. Share your knowledge of self-empowerment with those you influence, after all it‘s easier to raise a child with a positive mindset than it is to fix a broken one. How you speak and how you act around your children becomes their inner voice. Once you have self-awareness it‘s easier to thrive and grow, be your child‘s inspiration and advocate for their well being.

Why do some people seem to command attention the moment they enter a room—while others, equally capable, quietly disappear into the background?

Today, we’re breaking down Law 6 of The 48 Laws of Power:
Court Attention at All Costs.

Watch on YouTube

Robert Greene reminds us of an uncomfortable truth:
Everything is judged by its appearance. What is unseen counts for nothing.
In a crowded world, competence alone is not enough. If you are not noticed, you are not remembered—and if you are not remembered, you cannot wield influence.

This law is not about vanity. It’s about visibility as leverage.
Throughout history, power has favored those who understood how to stand apart—through mystery, symbolism, or even controversy. From royal courts to modern boardrooms, those who fade into “average” are quickly overlooked, no matter how talented they may be.

In this episode, we explore:
The hidden danger of being “average”
Why blending in feels safe—but quietly erodes your influence over time.
The strategic power of mystery
How saying less, revealing selectively, and creating intrigue keeps people watching—and wanting more.
Why negative attention can be more powerful than silence
And when controversy strengthens your position instead of destroying it.
Real-world examples from history and business
Showing how attention has always been a form of currency—long before social media existed.

This law does not ask you to be loud for the sake of noise.
It asks you to be deliberate, distinct, and impossible to ignore.

If you want to better understand how influence really works—beyond motivation and surface-level advice—subscribe and turn on notifications so you don’t miss future episodes.

Your reputation is the "silent power" that speaks long before you enter a room. In Chapter 5 of Robert Greene’s The 48 Laws of Power, we learn that once your reputation is damaged, every move you make becomes twice as hard.

Watch on YouTube

Most people think reputation is about vanity or ego. They’re wrong. It’s about positioning, perception, and leverage. If you don't control how the world sees you, the world will define you on its own terms.

🔍 In this episode, we break down:

The Currency of Power: Why reputation is more valuable than money or talent.

Strategic Defense: How to identify and neutralize attacks on your character before they stick.

Amor Fati: Applying the "Love of Fate" to maintain emotional stoicism when under fire.

The Pivot: How to turn a perceived weakness into a reputational strength.

People don’t respond to who you are—they respond to who they believe you are. Stop being controlled by appearances you ignore and start mastering the art of perception.

Law 4: Always Say Less Than Necessary is one of the most misunderstood — and most powerful — principles in The 48 Laws of Power.

Watch on YouTube

In this episode, we explore why restraint, silence, and thoughtful speech create authority, while over-explaining quietly erodes it. Power isn’t loud. It doesn’t rush. And it never reveals more than it must.

You’ll learn:
Why powerful people speak less, not more
How oversharing weakens your position (at work, in relationships, and in life)
When silence speaks louder than persuasion
How this law applies in modern conversations, leadership, and negotiation

This is not about manipulation.
It’s about self-control, awareness, and presence.
Watch to the end for a practical way to apply Law 4 immediately — without becoming inauthentic.

📚 Based on The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene

In a world of constant notifications, endless scrolling, and background noise, we’ve forgotten the original way humans stayed inspired.

Watch on YouTube

Before podcasts.
Before audiobooks.
Before “content.”
We listened. 🇨🇺✨

Deep in the heart of Havana’s historic cigar factories, a remarkable tradition was born: El Lector — the reader. While skilled workers meticulously rolled world-class cigars by hand, one person sat high above the factory floor on a wooden podium, reading aloud.

Not just headlines.
Not just instructions.
But Shakespeare.
Victor Hugo.
Great novels.
Big ideas.
The Count of Monte Cristo!

Stories that carried people beyond repetitive work and into imagination, philosophy, and hope.

The Lector became the heartbeat of the factory — transforming long, demanding days into something richer: a shared education, a shared inner life, a shared sense of dignity.

And this tradition didn’t emerge by accident.
It came from a culture that understands something deeply human:
work feeds the body, but story feeds the spirit.

A Culture Rooted in Grace and Pride
To understand El Lector, you have to understand Cuba.
The people of Cuba are some of the most generous, considerate, and quietly proud people you’ll ever meet. Even with limited resources, there is an abundance of warmth, hospitality, and connection.

In Havana, French-influenced architecture rises with elegance and endurance. Hand-carved wooden furniture tells stories of craftsmanship passed down through generations. Grand piazzas invite gathering, not rushing. Life unfolds in conversation, music, shared meals, and presence.

Tradition matters here.
Culture matters here.
People matter here.

We were even invited into the home of our driver’s mother — not as tourists, but as guests. We sat together, shared food, and absorbed the beauty of Cuban hospitality: simple, heartfelt, and offered without expectation.

In moments like that, Cuba stops being a place you visit — and becomes something you feel.

Why This Still Matters
Factory owners once tried to ban El Lector, fearing the power of ideas. The workers fought to keep their stories alive — because they understood that knowledge, imagination, and meaning are not luxuries. They are necessities.

In many ways, El Lector was the original podcast — a shared listening experience that lifted people beyond their circumstances and reminded them of who they were.

This episode isn’t just a history lesson.
It’s a reminder.
That inspiration doesn’t need to be loud.
That flourishing doesn’t require abundance.
That no matter how repetitive our work may feel, the right story can set our minds free.

In Chapter 11 of Atomic Habits, titled "Walk Slowly, but Never Backward," James Clear emphasizes that mastery of any habit is rooted in consistency rather than striving for perfection.

Watch on YouTube

The journey of habit formation isn't about achieving flawless execution from the start; it’s about the frequency and repetition of your actions. As Hebb's Law states, "cells that fire together, wire together," meaning that the more you practice a habit, the more ingrained it becomes in your brain. So, let’s focus on getting our reps in—no matter how small or slow the progress may seem. Remember, every step forward counts!

Do you feel trapped in a cycle of unproductive or negative habits? 😬 Are you always thinking about tasks as things you “have to” do, rather than opportunities you “get to” experience? In this episode, we dive into Chapter 10 of Atomic Habits by James Clear to uncover a powerful mindset shift that can help break the grip of bad habits and bring more positivity to everyday life! 🌈✨

Watch on YouTube

Reframe Your Thinking The way we think about our routines can actually make or break our habits. By reframing your mindset from “I have to” to “I get to,” you can open up a world of possibilities, seeing tasks as chances to grow, learn, and even enjoy the process. This simple reframe can give you the power to approach each day with a more motivated and positive outlook. 🌟

Identify & Fix Your Bad Habits Beyond reframing, we’ll go deeper into understanding why bad habits form in the first place. We’ll look at the root causes of these habits and explore practical steps to identify triggers, build positive replacements, and reshape your environment to set yourself up for success. 💪

How You Can Start Today:

Mindset Shift: Begin thinking of daily tasks as things you “get to” do rather than things you’re obligated to do.

Identify Triggers: Observe what’s happening around you before a habit takes over. Becoming aware is the first step to change.

Swap the Habit: Find a small, positive habit to replace the bad one, making it easier to break old patterns.

Set Up Your Environment: Make it easier for yourself to choose positive actions by changing your surroundings.

Start shifting your mindset today and watch your habits follow.

This weeks chapter review is all about how you automatically go through 4 Steps in your Habits and how you can transform the pattern for Success.

🎗️Watch on YouTube

Your mind is continuously analyzing your internal and external environment, for hints of where rewards are located. Because the cue is the first indication that we're close to a reward, it naturally leads to a craving. This is interesting because it happens so fast. You would think you feel a craving first and then seek out the reward. But there's always something that triggers that craving. The key is to slow down and find what the cue is - what is triggering your craving?

Every craving is linked to a desire to change your internal state. James Clear says in his book, for example: "You do not crave smoking a cigarette, you crave the feeling of relief it provides." Or another example: "You do not want to turn on the television, you want to be entertained." Everyone is different. Being self-aware of your thoughts, feelings and emotions will help you figure out how to break the habit that is not serving you and create a new one that will set you up for success.

The Habit loop is in your control. By being aware of these four stages:
Cue - Craving - Response - Reward is the key to creating good habits and breaking the bad ones that are slowing down your life.

Live an Inspired Life!

This weeks chapter review is all about how your Habits shape your identity and vice versa.

Watch on YouTube

"Whatever your identity is right now, you only believe it because you have proof of it. The more evidence, you have for a belief, the more strongly you will believe it.

New identities require new evidence. If you keep casting the same votes, you've always cast, you're going to get the same results you've always had. If nothing changes, nothing is going to change.

It is a simple two-step process:

One. Decide the type of person you want to be.

Two. Prove it to yourself with small wins.

You have the power to change your beliefs about yourself. Your identity is not set in stone. Do you have a choice and every moment. You can choose the identity want to be in for today with the habits that you choose today.

Habits can help you achieve all these things, but fundamentally they are not about having something. They are about becoming someone."
James Clear

"Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. Getting 1% better every day counts for a lot in the long run.

Habits are doubled edge sword. They can work for you or against you, which is why understanding the details is essential.

Small changes often appear to make no difference until you cross a critical threshold. The most powerful outcomes of any compounding process are delayed. You need to be patient.

An atomic habit is a little habit that is part of a larger system. Just as atoms are the building blocks of molecules, atomic habits are the building blocks of remarkable results. If you want, better results, then forget about setting goals. Focus on your system instead.
You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." James Clear

"The ideal Apprenticeship. After your formal education, you enter the most critical phase in your life – a second, practical education known as The Apprenticeship. Every time you change careers or acquire new skills, you re-enter this phase of life. The dangers are many. If you're not careful, you will succumb to insecurities, become embroiled in emotional issues and conflicts that will dominate your thoughts; you will develop fears and learning disabilities that you will carry with you throughout your life.

Before it is too late, you must learn the lessons and follow the path established by the greatest Masters, past and present – I kind of ideal apprenticeship that transcends all fields. In the process, your master, the necessary skills, discipline, your mind, and transform yourself into an independent thinker, prepared for the creative challenges on the way to Mastery".

"There exists a form of power and intelligence that represents the High Point of human potential. It is the source of the greatest achievements and discoveries in history. It is an intelligence that is not taught in our schools, nor analyzed by professors, but most all of us, at some point, have had glimpses of it in our own experience"

"Over the centuries, people placed a wall around such mastery. They've called it genius and have thought of it as in accessible. They have seen it as a product of privilege, inborn, talent, or just the right alignment of the stars. They have made it seem as if it were as elusive as magic. But that wall is imaginary. This is the real secret: the brain that we possess is the work of 6 million years of development, and more than anything else, this evolution of the brain is designed to lead us to mastery, the latent power within us all."

What do you see yourself accomplishing? Do you have a Vision for your future? Today I am sharing with you my very own Vision Board or what Dr. Tara Swart calls an Action Board in her book the Source.

➡️ Watch on YouTube

You will see that my Vision Board is not really about "stuff". It's a lot of inspiration, symbolism and what I know I need to remind myself about in order to reach my goals and dreams.

It all begins with a Positive outlook. Once you have created your own board, which is a work in progress by the way, then you will have a good idea of the next step.

➡️ What do you need to do in order to make your Vision a Reality. I have incorporated what I need to remind myself of daily, so I know what to schedule into my day, week, month and year.

➡️ Next, what might sidetrack you? Life, family, job....think of any potential obstacles that might impact your schedule. Plan for it, be ready so that you can pivot and let go. Set-backs are a natural part of all our lives.

➡️ Set yourself up for success. It's work, but it's not failure. If you don't catch the ball the first time, just learn from it. Review your Vision for the future. Surround yourself with positive vibes and listen to inspiration. Carve out some time to work on you. You Got This!

Live an inspired life and remember, visualize your future self! You are a natural planner and may already have a good life. Time to Level up!

"In The Source, Dr. Swart offers the long-awaited proof for why manifestation is the only true and effective practice for achieving the life you want, and shows us how to finally seize the opportunities that pass us by every single day.

Our thoughts determine our lives, and either attract the things we want, or keep them at a distance forever. Thus we have the power to change our destiny-to find wealth, true love, confidence and fulfillment-simply by harnessing the power of the mind. Do you feel stuck in a relationship that no longer serves you? Do you find your work unfulfilling but worry about leaving? Are you no longer connected to your current friend group but unable to make new friends?"

This playlist will summarize, in detail, each chapter of the book and provide additional commentary to help you relate and apply the teachings by Tara Swart to your everyday life.

There are 4 Sections in this book.

Part one is about Science and Spirituality. We learn about the science behind the Law of Attraction and the power of Visualization.

Part two is about our Elastic Brain. We learn how our brain can change the way it works - neuroplasticity.

Part three is about the Agile Brain. We learn the power of the agile and balanced brain in how we live our lives

Part four is about Firing up the power - a roadmap to tap into the Source.

"This book will take you on a journey, blending science and spirituality and helping you turn insight into motivation and autopilot into action. Make life happen for you, not to you."

I encourage you to purchase a copy of the book. It has some great exercises you can go through to set you on the right path to manifesting the life that you deserve. Mine is full of notes and highlights. There's power to reading a book made of paper!

Live an Inspired Life by unlocking your potential with the power of your own Source.

"The Best way to Predict your Future is to Create it." Abraham Lincoln

Take Action and Design your very own Future. You can start with an Action Board or Vision Board. Create it by filling it with images that accurately represent the life you dream of. If it seems overwhelming, choose one area of your life that you are ready to change.

Look at it every day, talk out loud, write in your journal and meditate on what you are creating. Over time, you will begin to see opportunities arise that will help you along the way.

Visualize. Believe.Manifest.Achieve - this book is a game changer.
"In The Source, Dr. Swart offers the long-awaited proof for why manifestation is the only true and effective practice for achieving the life you want, and shows us how to finally seize the opportunities that pass us by every single day.

Our thoughts determine our lives, and either attract the things we want, or keep them at a distance forever. Thus we have the power to change our destiny-to find wealth, true love, confidence and fulfillment-simply by harnessing the power of the mind. Do you feel stuck in a relationship that no longer serves you? Do you find your work unfulfilling but worry about leaving? Are you no longer connected to your current friend group but unable to make new friends?"

This playlist will summarize, in detail, each chapter of the book and provide additional commentary to help you relate and apply the teachings by Tara Swart to your everyday life.

There are 4 Sections in this book.

Part one is about Science and Spirituality. We learn about the science behind the Law of Attraction and the power of Visualization.

Part two is about our Elastic Brain. We learn how our brain can change the way it works - neuroplasticity.

Part three is about the Agile Brain. We learn the power of the agile and balanced brain in how we live our lives

Part four is about Firing up the power - a roadmap to tap into the Source.

"This book will take you on a journey, blending science and spirituality and helping you turn insight into motivation and autopilot into action. Make life happen for you, not to you."

I encourage you to purchase a copy of the book. It has some great exercises you can go through to set you on the right path to manifesting the life that you deserve. Mine is full of notes and highlights. There's power to reading a book made of paper!

Live an Inspired Life by unlocking your potential with the power of your own Source.

Strengthen your Intuition through Self-Care. There is a famous speech by Steve Jobs on how we all already know what we truly want from life. This chapter reminded me of that:

"Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." Steve Jobs

But...you need to trust yourself. This chapter gives a few tips on how you can do so by strengthening yourself physically and mentally. Trust your instinct, listen to your body and connect the dots.

Think about a time that you didn't trust your intuition, or as I like to call it, my 'spider senses.' That was your intuition that already knew the decision you "should" have made. There will be a next time too, be ready.

Live an inspired life and remember, trust yourself - no regrets.

Stress, Anxiety and Society Pressures can take its toll on you both physically and mentally. Today we discuss the importance of being ultra aware of you and strategies for self-care.

➡️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/NTOZuvwhlbA

“The more grounded and present you are in your body, the stronger your 'interceptive' sense is likely to be.”

Practice being in tune with your mind and body connection. Think about a time when you thought you would take up a new exercise like Yoga or Cycling. The first day it was tough, but through practice, repetition and really feeling the changes in your physical and spiritual well being, you improved, just a little, each day.

Live an inspired life and remember, Meditate, Reflect, Think or just simply have a quiet moment to yourself to give your self the care it deserves.

Emotions can seem like they are out of control, especially at this time of year. Today’s episode provides you with some helpful tips and ideas to keep your composure when those around you are losing theirs.

➡️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/PtwJXvufDyc

“The power to control our emotional landscape really is in our hands. Our emotions themselves are tools we can use to formulate our responses.”

“A strong ability to regulate emotions is something we need to work at. Practices such as mindfulness help, building and expanding the pause between our thought and our response to it.”

Fill your toolbox up ahead of time with your go-to, calm-keeping plans. Whether it's a word like STOP; or voicing what emotion you are feeling at the time; figure out what will work best for you to keep your mindset peaceful.

By doing so, you will build your confidence and prevent other people from trying to push those ‘emotional’ buttons.

Live an inspired life and remember, emotions control your experiences in life.

Today we review Brain Power as outlined in the best selling book by Dr. Tara Swart, and how you can utilize it to it's fullest potential.

👀 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zZ-KMTZHlaU

"Lifestyle factors influence our neuroplasticity and brain pathways as our behaviour (whether positive or negative) becomes habitual. The more respect we afford to our brain and body by prioritizing sleep, nutritious meals, drinking plenty of water and strengthening our mind and body with exercise and mindfulness, the more positive energy we will have and the easier it is to be in balance within ourselves."

Self-Care means self respect for yourself and those you love and mentor.

Live an Inspired Life and remember you already have the most important tool for Personal Development - the power of the Source - is your own Success Mechanism.

Today we discuss the power of visualization as outlined in the best selling book by Dr. Tara Swart, The Source.

➡️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/MkMpciqTz0A

"Visualization helps us to channel the law of attraction, and to act from a perspective of abundance and optimism. It works by raising our awareness, directing focused attention to the things we want most in life, and overcoming the brains desire to protect itself from new or difficult situation."

If you think that visualization seems a bit too mystical, think about your own situation. Everything from planning a trip, decorating for the holidays or simply planning the evenings dinner menu requires you first envision what the 'big picture' looks like. Every night you go to sleep and dream, you are visualizing and feeling your dreams with all your senses.

Now, imagine what you are visualizing from day to day. Is it positive or negative? You are actually creating your future self each day, while building either abundance or scarcity. You deserve to have a fulfilling life and it begins with the power of the made up mind.

"Attract what you expect, reflect what you desire, become what you respect, mirror what you admire." Unknown

Live an Inspired Life and remember - Visualizing is Realizing.

How much pressure can you tolerate? What is your own, individual breaking point? Successful people know how to rise above a crisis by relaxing no matter what the external situation.

This weeks episode gives you some great takeaways on how to stay calm under pressure so that you can become the success you deserve to be!

I would venture to guess that the biggest, personal pressure people feel is that of a financial one. Paying the bills, keeping a roof over your head, and simply having enough not to be living paycheck to paycheck.

It doesn't take wishful thinking to make a change in your life. It takes calmness under pressure. Get out of survival mode and begin to change your life around.

Live an Inspired Life and remember to believe in yourself and begin by practicing how to stay calm under pressure.

Your mind is one of your most precious possessions; don't give it up by default! Think your own thoughts, not what you believe others want you to think. Take back your power! It is so important to protect your individuality and your healthy well-being.

You owe it to yourself to be an individual. You owe it to yourself to keep your mind, body and spirit strong. You owe it to yourself to live an inspired Life.

What drives a person to cross the Ocean in search of a better life, success and achievement, is the same molecule that drives a person to self-destruction, poverty and despair.

"Dopamine is the conductor, not the orchestra." You are in Control of what actions you choose.

"When the human race lived in scarcity and on the brink of extinction, the drive for more kept us alive. Dopamine was the engine of progress. It helped lift our evolutionary ancestors out of subsistence living. By giving us the ability to create tools, invent abstract sciences, and plan far into the future, it made us the dominant species on the planet. But in an environment of plenty in which we have mastered our world and developed sophisticated technology - in a time when more is no longer a matter of survival - dopamine continues to drive us forward, perhaps to our own destruction." Daniel Z. Lieberman, MD and Michael E. Long

Live an Inspired Life and know that you have within you the molecule that will help you Regain your Super Powers - for your own well being.

Work is the foundation of all business, the source of all prosperity and parent and genius.
Work can do more to advance youth than his own parents, be they ever so wealthy.
It is represented in the humble savings and has laid the foundation of every fortune.
It is the salt that gives life its savour but it must be loved before it can bestow its greatest blessing and achieve its greatest ends.
When loved, work makes life sweet, purposeful, and fruitful.

Live an Inspired Life and remember to believe in yourself and begin by creating a healthy self-image.

In this episode, we'll talk about the power of calmness and how it can transform your life. Calmness doesn't come from external sources, it comes from within. It's a practice that requires discipline and patience, but the rewards are priceless.

"The more tranquil a person becomes, the greater their Success."

Anger and temper won't help you. They will only destroy your poise and make you feel worse. Instead, subscribe to The Flourish Show and learn the number one tip on how to stay calm. Diane Planidin will share her expertise and guide you towards a more peaceful and inspired life.

Calmness is power, and it can change your life. It can help you overcome obstacles, make better decisions, and improve your relationships.

This is absolutely unbelievable. In his book, As a Man Thinketh, James Allen unlocks the key to the power of thought. I know we've all seen the movie the Secret and we've all heard the motivational speakers talk about it and we've all went, what?

In this book James Allen explains in a very clear specific detail why our thoughts matter. I never understood this until I read this book. And guess wha? t I keep reading it, again, again, and again.

The soul attracts that which it secretly harbours; that which it loves, and also that which it fears.

This episode is all about the effect of thought and circumstances. If your life is not going in the direction you want you might have to change your mind. You are causing your circumstances. And I know that's hard to believe, but it happened to me so now I believe it's real. Is it happening to you? What is going on in your life?

Frustrated and depressed, are you discouraged? Suffering is always the effect of wrong thought in some direction. It is an indication that the individual is out of harmony with their self. Are you out of harmony are you out of alignment. This episode is for you.

Live an Inspired Life and remember, thoughts become things!

Don't pretend anything is Stopping you.  That's what Marcus Aurelius wrote in his journal to meditate upon.  That was around A.D. 161 - and nothing has changed.

"The intellect and logos are able to make their way through anything in their path - by inboard capacity or sheer force of will.  Keep before your eyes the ease with which they do this..."

We all have amazing thinking skills that need to be exercised in order to maintain self control.  Don't allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence.

Live an Inspired Life and remember, you're Unstoppable!

Look around - what do you see?  Are you surrounding yourself with what you feel is beautiful?  Or do you only see the ugliness?  

"How much ugliness affects you depends on your sensitivity and the ease with which you can turn your attention away from the obnoxious stimuli.

Living in an unpleasant environment with nasty people is a pathological force.

If you Choose beautiful and decent people to spend you time with, you will find that you feel better and more uplifted."  A.H. Maslow

Today I share a personal experience, one about death and how important it is to realize the amazing impression we leave upon one another.

When you see the light in the miracle of life and becoming who you deserve to be, death is no longer darkness to be afraid of.  Carl Rogers said - "How does it happen that the deeper we go into ourselves as particular and unique, seeking for our own individual identity, the more we find the whole human species?"

Your uniqueness and your similarities to others creates your world which in turn is your paradise.  What does that look like to you?

Proceed with Confidence!  When you practice concentration your perspective begins to change.  When you are having problems concentrating, when there are too many people and activities distracting your focus, it is difficult to accomplish what you want.

Create unwavering focus by trying something new.  Change your mindset by using all your cognitive and physiological skills.  

Do you practice concentration by meditation?  Do you reach your goals by creating a certain environment?  Practice concentration and you will elevate your perspective.

Live an Inspired Life and Proceed with Confidence!

In recent years, gender and related concepts have become a common focus of social change and social debate. Many societies, including American society, have seen a rapid change in perceptions of gender roles, media portrayals of gender, and legal trends relating to gender. For example, there has been an increase in children’s toys attempting to cater to both genders (such as Legos marketed to girls), rather than catering to traditional stereotypes.

This module discusses gender and its related concepts, including sex, gender roles, gender identity, sexual orientation, and sexism in more detail. In addition, this module includes a discussion of differences that exist between males and females and how these real gender differences compare to the stereotypes society holds about gender differences. In fact, there are significantly fewer real gender differences than one would expect relative to the large number of stereotypes about gender differences. This module then discusses theories of how gender roles develop and how they contribute to strong expectations for gender differences. Finally, the module concludes with a discussion of some of the consequences of relying on and expecting gender differences, such as gender discrimination, sexual harassment, and ambivalent sexism.

Live an Inspired Life!

Although the most visible elements of culture are dress, cuisine and architecture, culture is a highly psychological phenomenon. Culture is a pattern of meaning for understanding how the world works. This knowledge is shared among a group of people and passed from one generation to the next. This module defines culture, addresses methodological issues, and introduces the idea that culture is a process. Understanding cultural processes can help people get along better with others and be more socially responsible.

It’s important to understand that culture is learned. People aren’t born using chopsticks or being good at soccer simply because they have a genetic predisposition for it. They learn to excel at these activities because they are born in countries like Argentina, where playing soccer is an important part of daily life, or in areas like Taiwan, where chopsticks are the primary eating utensils. So, how are such cultural behaviors learned? It turns out that cultural skills and knowledge are learned in much the same way a person might learn to do algebra or knit. They are acquired through a combination of explicit teaching and implicit learning—by observing and copying.

Live an Inspired Life and embrace your Culture!

Significant memory advantages can be attained through a method that science has proven to work.  

This episode discusses a paper that was written by Noice & Noice in 2007 regarding improving your memory through movement.

"It is a tantalizing thought that good acting is both completely spontaneous and repeatable on demand; when something is repeatable, it is usually open to exploration, making acting a potentially fertile ground for further investigation of human cognition."

Give it a try and let me know in the comments if it works for you.

If you were to reflect on the best moments of your life, chances are they involved other people. We feel good sharing our experiences with others, and our desire for high quality relationships may be connected to a deep-seated psychological impulse: the need to belong. Aristotle commented that humans are fundamentally social in nature. Modern society is full of evidence that Aristotle was right. For instance, people often hold strong opinions about single child families—usually concerning what are often viewed as problematic “only child” characteristics—and most parents choose to have multiple kids. People join book clubs to make a solitary activity—reading—into a social activity. Prisons often punish offenders by putting them in solitary confinement, depriving them of the company of others. Perhaps the most obvious expression of the need to belong in contemporary life is the prevalence of social media. We live in an era when, for the first time in history, people effectively have two overlapping sets of social relationships: those in the real world and those in the virtual world.

Live an Inspired Life and take care of your Well Being!

If you have ever tried hard to change yourself, you may have taken aim at your social reputation, targeting your central traits or your social roles. Maybe you woke up one day and decided that you must become a more optimistic and emotionally upbeat person. Taking into consideration the reflected appraisals of others, you realized that even your friends seem to avoid you because you bring them down. In addition, it feels bad to feel so bad all the time: Wouldn’t it be better to feel good, to have more energy and hope?

In the language of traits, you have decided to “work on” your “neuroticism.” Or maybe instead, your problem is the trait of “conscientiousness”: You are undisciplined and don’t work hard enough, so you resolve to make changes in that area. Self-improvement efforts such as these—aimed at changing one’s traits to become a more effective social actor—are sometimes successful, but they are very hard—kind of like dieting. Research suggests that broad traits tend to be stubborn, resistant to change, even with the aid of psychotherapy. However, people often have more success working directly on their social roles. To become a more effective social actor, you may want to take aim at the important roles you play in life. What can I do to become a better son or daughter? How can I find new and meaningful roles to perform at work, or in my family, or among my friends, or in my church and community? By doing concrete things that enrich your performances in important social roles, you may begin to see yourself in a new light, and others will notice the change, too. Social actors hold the potential to transform their performances across the human life course. Each time you walk out on stage, you have a chance to start anew.

Live an Inspired Life and to thy oneself be true!

Supreme inspiration comes from a state of immersing yourself in your work. In what you really love to do. This is your calling, your purpose and the spark is already within you. As you immerse yourself, you will reach a state of flow, as if time is standing still and your creative mind takes over. You feel calm and immense joy at the same time.

Instant gratification will seem minor compared to how you will feel when you realize the power of peak experiences. These are the moments when you seem to have an abundance of ideas and will create goals that will move you forward.

You are an individual, full of beliefs, identities, and more that help make you unique. You don’t want to be labeled just by your gender or race or religion. But as complex as we perceive ourselves to be, we often define others merely by their most distinct social group.

Even in one’s own family, everyone wants to be seen for who they are, not as “just another typical X.” But still, people put other people into groups, using that label to inform their evaluation of the person as a whole—a process that can result in serious consequences. This module focuses on biases against social groups, which social psychologists sort into emotional prejudices, mental stereotypes, and behavioral discrimination. These three aspects of bias are related, but they each can occur separately from the others.

Live an Inspired Life and embrace your uniqueness and those of others in this diverse world we all share.

Groups usually exist for a reason. In groups, we solve problems, create products, create standards, communicate knowledge, have fun, perform arts, create institutions, and even ensure our safety from attacks by other groups. But do groups always outperform individuals?

Groups have instrumental, practical value, but also emotional, psychological value. In groups we find others who appreciate and value us. In groups we gain the support we need in difficult times, but also have the opportunity to influence others. In groups we find evidence of our self-worth, and secure ourselves from the threat of loneliness and despair. For most of us, groups are the secret source of well-being.

Live an Inspired Life and seek out a Group that has your best interests at heart. This episode will help to explain the dynamics of groups and why they do and do not always work.

Do you think you have inherited who you are? There are some attitudes we adopt from our parents initially, that much is true, but not everything. In today's episode we explore attitudes and how you can change yours to make your own decisions versus staying the course of what your parents believe and even what advertising does to persuade you into thinking you need more, more, more.

Strong attitudes are attitudes that are more cognitively accessible—they come to mind quickly, regularly, and easily. We can easily measure attitude strength by assessing how quickly our attitudes are activated when we are exposed to the attitude object. If we can state our attitude quickly, without much thought, then it is a strong one. If we are unsure about our attitude and need to think about it for a while before stating our opinion, the attitude is weak.

Attitudes become stronger when we have direct positive or negative experiences with the attitude object, and particularly if those experiences have been in strong positive or negative contexts.

Live an Inspired Life and your ability to resist persuasion by creating a strong attitude. Procedures such as forewarning and inoculation can help increase attitude strength and thus reduce subsequent persuasion.

We need to be Social - It Influences Our Mental and Physical Health

In comparison with those who do not feel that they have a network of others they can rely on, people who feel that they have adequate social support report being happier and have also been found to have fewer psychological problems, including eating disorders and mental illness.

People with social support are less depressed overall, recover faster from negative events, and are less likely to commit suicide. Married people report being happier than unmarried people, and overall, a happy marriage is an excellent form of social support. One of the goals of effective psychotherapy is to help people generate better social support networks because such relationships have such a positive effect on mental health.

In addition to having better mental health, people who have adequate social support are more physically healthy. They have fewer diseases (such as tuberculosis, heart attacks, and cancer), live longer, have lower blood pressure, and have fewer deaths at all ages. Sports psychologists have even found that individuals with higher levels of social support are less likely to be injured playing sports and recover more quickly from injuries they do receive. These differences appear to be due to the positive effects of social support upon physiological functioning, including the immune system.

Live an Inspired Life and try something new to expand your social life!

Personality tests or Personal Orientation Profiles when job seeking have been around for a long time. Learn a little bit about how these tests work and what you may be asked.

No single method of assessing personality is perfect or infallible; each of the major methods has both strengths and limitations. By using a diversity of approaches, researchers can overcome the limitations of any single method and develop a more complete and integrative view of personality.

There are multiple ways to evaluate personality stability. The existing evidence suggests that personality attributes are relatively enduring attributes that show predictable average-level changes across the lifespan. Personality stability is produced by a complicated interplay between individuals and their social settings. Many personality attributes are linked to life experiences in a mutually reinforcing cycle: Personality attributes seem to shape environmental contexts, and those contexts often then accentuate and reinforce those very personality attributes. Even so, personality change or transformation is possible because individuals respond to their environments. Individuals may also want to change their personalities. Personality researchers are now beginning to address important questions about the possibility of lasting personality changes through intervention efforts.

Personality traits reflect people’s characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Personality traits imply consistency and stability—someone who scores high on a specific trait like Extraversion is expected to be sociable in different situations and over time. Thus, trait psychology rests on the idea that people differ from one another in terms of where they stand on a set of basic trait dimensions that persist over time and across situations.

The most widely used system of traits is called the Five-Factor Model. This system includes five broad traits that can be remembered with the acronym OCEAN: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Each of the major traits from the Big Five can be divided into facets to give a more fine-grained analysis of someone’s personality. In addition, some trait theorists argue that there are other traits that cannot be completely captured by the Five-Factor Model. Critics of the trait concept argue that people do not act consistently from one situation to the next and that people are very influenced by situational forces. Thus, one major debate in the field concerns the relative power of people’s traits versus the situations in which they find themselves as predictors of their behavior.

In the past century, a number of psychotherapeutic orientations have gained popularity for treating mental illnesses. This module outlines some of the best-known therapeutic approaches and explains the history, techniques, advantages, and disadvantages associated with each. The most effective modern approach is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). We also discuss psychoanalytic therapy, person-centered therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. Drug therapy and emerging new treatment strategies will also be briefly explored.

Throughout human history we have had to deal with mental illness in one form or another. Over time, several schools of thought have emerged for treating these problems. Although various therapies have been shown to work for specific individuals, cognitive behavioral therapy is currently the treatment most widely supported by empirical research. Still, practices like psychodynamic therapies, person-centered therapy, mindfulness-based treatments, and acceptance and commitment therapy have also shown success. And, with recent advances in research and technology, clinicians are able to enhance these and other therapies to treat more patients more effectively than ever before. However, what is important in the end is that people actually seek out mental health specialists to help them with their problems. One of the biggest deterrents to doing so is that people don’t understand what psychotherapy really entails. Through understanding how current practices work, not only can we better educate people about how to get the help they need, but we can continue to advance our treatments to be more effective in the future.

Modern approaches to the assessment of psychopathy, consisting of rating instruments and self-report scales, reflect the foregoing historic conceptions to differing degrees.

It is evident that all individuals have a personality, as indicated by their characteristic way of thinking, feeling, behaving, and relating to others. For some people, these traits result in a considerable degree of distress and/or impairment, constituting a personality disorder.

Psychopathy (or “psychopathic personality”) is a topic that has long fascinated the public at large as well as scientists and clinical practitioners. However, it has also been subject to considerable confusion and scholarly debate over the years. This module reviews alternative conceptions of psychopathy that have been proposed historically, and reviews major instruments currently in use for the assessment of psychopathic tendencies in clinical and nonclinical samples. An integrative theoretic framework, the Triarchic model, is presented that provides a basis for reconciling differing historic conceptions and assessment approaches. Implications of the model for thinking about causal hypotheses of psychopathy, and for resolving longstanding points of contention in the field, are discussed.

It is evident that all individuals have a personality, as indicated by their characteristic way of thinking, feeling, behaving, and relating to others. For some people, these traits result in a considerable degree of distress and/or impairment, constituting a personality disorder.

A considerable body of research has accumulated to help understand the etiology, pathology, and/or treatment for some personality disorders (i.e., antisocial, schizotypal, borderline, dependent, and narcissistic), but not so much for others (e.g., histrionic, schizoid, and paranoid). However, researchers and clinicians are now shifting toward a more dimensional understanding of personality disorders, wherein each is understood as a maladaptive variant of general personality structure, thereby bringing to bear all that is known about general personality functioning to an understanding of these maladaptive variants.

Schizophrenia and the other psychotic disorders are some of the most impairing forms of psychopathology, frequently associated with a profound negative effect on the individual’s educational, occupational, and social function. Sadly, these disorders often manifest right at time of the transition from adolescence to adulthood, just as young people should be evolving into independent young adults. The spectrum of psychotic disorders includes schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, delusional disorder, schizotypal personality disorder, schizophreniform disorder, brief psychotic disorder, as well as psychosis associated with substance use or medical conditions. In this module, we summarize the primary clinical features of these disorders, describe the known cognitive and neurobiological changes associated with schizophrenia, describe potential risk factors and/or causes for the development of schizophrenia, and describe currently available treatments for schizophrenia.

The development of new treatments such as Cognitive Enhancement Therapy provides some hope that we will be able to develop new and better approaches to improving the lives of individuals with this serious mental health condition and potentially even prevent it some day.

Everyone feels down or euphoric from time to time, but this is different from having a mood disorder such as major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder. Mood disorders are extended periods of depressed, euphoric, or irritable moods that in combination with other symptoms cause the person significant distress and interfere with his or her daily life, often resulting in social and occupational difficulties. In this module, we describe major mood disorders, including their symptom presentations, general prevalence rates, and how and why the rates of these disorders tend to vary by age, gender, and race. In addition, biological and environmental risk factors that have been implicated in the development and course of mood disorders, such as heritability and stressful life events, are reviewed. Finally, we provide an overview of treatments for mood disorders, covering treatments with demonstrated effectiveness, as well as new treatment options showing promise.

Effective treatments are available and continually improving which can help live an Inspired Life!

Anxiety is a natural part of life and, at normal levels, helps us to function at our best. However, for people with anxiety disorders, anxiety is overwhelming and hard to control. Anxiety disorders develop out of a blend of biological (genetic) and psychological factors that, when combined with stress, may lead to the development of ailments. Primary anxiety-related diagnoses include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, specific phobia, social anxiety disorder (social phobia), post traumatic stress disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. In this module, we summarize the main clinical features of each of these disorders and discuss their similarities and differences with everyday experiences of anxiety.

What do you think about anxiety? Is it fear or is it doubt? When in doubt what do you do? I believe that if I have faith in myself and my intentions, the outcomes will lead to living an Inspired Life!

References to mental illness can be found throughout history. The evolution of mental illness, however, has not been linear or progressive but rather cyclical. Whether a behavior is considered normal or abnormal depends on the context surrounding the behavior and thus changes as a function of a particular time and culture. In the past, uncommon behavior or behavior that deviated from the sociocultural norms and expectations of a specific culture and period has been used as a way to silence or control certain individuals or groups. As a result, a less cultural relativist view of abnormal behavior has focused instead on whether behavior poses a threat to oneself or others or causes so much pain and suffering that it interferes with one’s work responsibilities or with one’s relationships with family and friends.

Thankfully there has been great progress throughout the ages which can help us all, Live an Inspired Life!

Most people are fairly happy, but many of them also wish they could be a bit more satisfied and enjoy life more. Prescriptions about how to achieve more happiness are often oversimplified because happiness has different components and prescriptions need to be aimed at where each individual needs improvement—one size does not fit all. A person might be strong in one area and deficient in other areas. People with prolonged serious unhappiness might need help from a professional. Thus, recommendations for how to achieve happiness are often appropriate for one person but not for others.

Do you know what makes you happy? What do you need to think about to improve your life? Are there controllable things in your life that could be changed to make your life more meaningful and happy? What are the avenues to change and why haven't you taken them?

This episode will provide you with a few tips on the science of happiness.

In humans, emotions and their associated neural systems have additional layers of complexity and flexibility. Compared to animals, humans experience a vast variety of nuanced and sometimes conflicting emotions. Humans also respond to these emotions in complex ways, such that conscious goals, values, and other cognitions influence behavior in addition to emotional responses.

Research in affective neuroscience has contributed to knowledge regarding emotional, motivational, and behavioral processes. The study of the basic emotional systems of nonhuman animals provides information about the organization and development of more complex human emotions. Although much still remains to be discovered, current findings in affective neuroscience have already influenced our understanding of drug use and abuse, psychological disorders such as panic disorder, and complex human emotions such as desire and enjoyment, grief and love.

How we feel adds much of the flavor to life’s highest—and lowest—moments. Can you think of an important moment in your life that didn’t involve strong feelings? In fact, it might be hard to recall any times when you had no feeling at all. Given how saturated human life is with feelings, and given how profoundly feelings affect us, it is not surprising that much theorizing and research has been devoted to uncovering how we can optimize our feelings, or, “emotion experiences,” as they are referred to in psychological research.

Our thoughts and behaviors are strongly influenced by affective experiences known as drive states. These drive states motivate us to fulfill goals that are beneficial to our survival and reproduction. This module provides an overview of key drive states, including information about their neurobiology and their psychological effects.

Different drive states have different triggers. Most drive states respond to both internal and external cues, but the combinations of internal and external cues, and the specific types of cues, differ between drives. Hunger, for example, depends on internal, visceral signals as well as sensory signals, such as the sight or smell of tasty food. Different drive states also result in different cognitive and emotional states, and are associated with different behaviors. Yet despite these differences, there are a number of properties common to all drive states.

Humans are not perfect decision makers. Not only are we not perfect, but we depart from perfection or rationality in systematic and predictable ways. The understanding of these systematic and predictable departures is core to the field of judgment and decision making. By understanding these limitations, we can also identify strategies for making better and more effective decisions.

Psychologists interested in the study of human individuality have found that accomplishments in education, the world of work, and creativity are a joint function of talent, passion, and commitment — or how much effort and time one is willing to invest in personal development when the opportunity is provided. This module reviews models and measures that psychologists have designed to assess intellect, interests, and energy for personal development. The module begins with a model for organizing these three psychological domains, which is useful for understanding talent development. This model is not only helpful for understanding the many different ways that positive development may unfold among people, but it is also useful for conceptualizing personal development and ways of selecting opportunities in learning and work settings that are more personally meaningful.

When you think of “smart people” you likely have an intuitive sense of the qualities that make them intelligent. Maybe you think they have a good memory, or that they can think quickly, or that they simply know a whole lot of information. Indeed, people who exhibit such qualities appear very intelligent. That said, it seems that intelligence must be more than simply knowing facts and being able to remember them. One point in favor of this argument is the idea of animal intelligence. It will come as no surprise to you that a dog, which can learn commands and tricks seems smarter than a snake that cannot. In fact, researchers and lay people generally agree with one another that primates—monkeys and apes (including humans)—are among the most intelligent animals. Apes such as chimpanzees are capable of complex problem solving and sophisticated communication.

What about being 'gifted'? Are you born that way or do you develop those skills? It turns out that the way an individual thinks about his or her own intelligence is also important because it predicts performance. Researcher Carol Dweck has made a career out of looking at the differences between high IQ children who perform well and those who do not, so-called “under achievers.” Among her most interesting findings is that it is not gender or social class that sets apart the high and low performers. Instead, it is their mindset. The children who believe that their abilities in general—and their intelligence specifically—is a fixed trait tend to underperform. By contrast, kids who believe that intelligence is changeable and evolving tend to handle failure better and perform better (Dweck, 1986). Dweck refers to this as a person’s “mindset” and having a growth mindset appears to be healthier.

Traditionally, research on aging described only the lives of people over age 65 and the very old. Contemporary theories and research recognizes that biogenetic and psychological processes of aging are complex and lifelong. Functioning in each period of life is influenced by what happened earlier and, in turn, affects subsequent change. We all age in specific social and historical contexts. Together, these multiple influences on aging make it difficult to define when middle-age or old age begins. This module describes central concepts and research about adult development and aging. We consider contemporary questions about cognitive aging and changes in personality, self-related beliefs, social relationships, and subjective well-being. These four aspects of psychosocial aging are related to health and longevity.

There are many stereotypes of older adults. They are sometimes seen as slow because of changes in cognitive processing speed. They are though, on average, excellent at drawing on personal experience and knowledge. And they tend to outperform young adults when it comes to social and emotional challenges.

Emerging adulthood has been proposed as a new life stage between adolescence and young adulthood, lasting roughly from ages 18 to 25. Five features make emerging adulthood distinctive: identity explorations, instability, self-focus, feeling in-between adolescence and adulthood, and a sense of broad possibilities for the future. Emerging adulthood is found mainly in industrialized countries, where most young people obtain tertiary education and median ages of entering marriage and parenthood are around 30.

There are variations in emerging adulthood within industrialized countries. It lasts longest in Europe, and in Asian industrialized countries, the self-focused freedom of emerging adulthood is balanced by obligations to parents and by conservative views of sexuality. In non-industrialized countries, although today emerging adulthood exists only among the middle-class elite, it can be expected to grow in the 21st century as these countries become more affluent.

This episode will help you:

-Explain where, when, and why a new life stage of emerging adulthood appeared over the past half-century. -Identify the five features that distinguish emerging adulthood from other life stages. -Describe the variations in emerging adulthood in countries around the world.

Adolescent development does not necessarily follow the same pathway for all individuals. Certain features of adolescence, particularly with respect to biological changes associated with puberty and cognitive changes associated with brain development, are relatively universal. But other features of adolescence depend largely on circumstances that are more environmentally variable.

Adolescent development is characterized by biological, cognitive, and social changes. Social changes are particularly notable as adolescents become more autonomous from their parents, spend more time with peers, and begin exploring romantic relationships and sexuality. Adjustment during adolescence is reflected in identity formation, which often involves a period of exploration followed by commitments to particular identities. Adolescence is characterized by risky behavior, which is made more likely by changes in the brain in which reward-processing centers develop more rapidly than cognitive control systems, making adolescents more sensitive to rewards than to possible negative consequences. Despite these generalizations, factors such as country of residence, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation shape development in ways that lead to diversity of experiences across adolescence.

This episode will help you: -Describe major features of physical, cognitive, and social development during adolescence. -Understand why adolescence is a period of heightened risk taking. -Be able to explain sources of diversity in adolescent development.

Social media websites and mobile communication services are coming to play an increasing role in people’s lives. Many people use Facebook, for example, to keep in touch with family and friends, to update their loved ones regarding things going on in their lives, and to meet people who share similar interests. Moreover, modern cellular technology allows people to get in touch with their loved ones much easier than was possible a mere 20 years ago.

Having supportive and responsive experiences with caregivers early in life is assumed to set the stage for positive social development. But that does not mean that attachment patterns are set in stone. In short, even if an individual has far from optimal experiences in early life, attachment theory suggests that it is possible for that individual to develop well-functioning adult relationships through a number of corrective experiences—including relationships with siblings, other family members, teachers, and close friends. Security is best viewed as a culmination of a person’s attachment history rather than a reflection of his or her early experiences alone. Those early experiences are considered important not because they determine a person’s fate, but because they provide the foundation for subsequent experiences.

This episode will help you: -Explain the way the attachment system works and its evolutionary significance. -Identify three commonly studied attachment patterns and what is known about the development of those patterns. -Describe what is known about the consequences of secure versus insecure attachment in adult relationships.

Emotions play a crucial role in our lives because they have important functions. This module describes those functions, dividing the discussion into three areas: the intrapersonal, the interpersonal, and the social and cultural functions of emotions. The section on the intrapersonal functions of emotion describes the roles that emotions play within each of us individually; the section on the interpersonal functions of emotion describes the meanings of emotions to our relationships with others; and the section on the social and cultural functions of emotion describes the roles and meanings that emotions have to the maintenance and effective functioning of our societies and cultures at large. All in all we will see that emotions are a crucially important aspect of our psychological composition, having meaning and function to each of us individually, to our relationships with others in groups, and to our societies as a whole.

You will Learn:

-Gain an appreciation of the importance of emotion in human life.

-Understand the functions and meanings of emotion in three areas of life: the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and social–cultural.

-Give examples of the role and function of emotion in each of the three areas described. Live an Inspired Life!

“How have I become the kind of person I am today?” Every adult ponders this question from time to time. The answers that readily come to mind include the influences of parents, peers, temperament, a moral compass, a strong sense of self, and sometimes critical life experiences such as parental divorce. Social and personality development encompasses these and many other influences on the growth of the person. In addition, it addresses questions that are at the heart of understanding how we develop as unique people. How much are we products of nature or nurture? How enduring are the influences of early experiences? The study of social and personality development offers perspective on these and other issues, often by showing how complex and multifaceted are the influences on developing children, and thus the intricate processes that have made you the person you are today.

Childhood social and personality development emerges through the interaction of social influences, biological maturation, and the child’s representations of the social world and the self. This interaction is illustrated in a discussion of the influence of significant relationships, the development of social understanding, the growth of personality, and the development of social and emotional competence in childhood.

This Episode has the following objectives:

-Provide specific examples of how the interaction of social experience, biological maturation, and the child’s representations of experience and the self provide the basis for growth in social and personality development.

-Describe the significant contributions of parent–child and peer relationships to the development of social skills and personality in childhood. -Explain how achievements in social understanding occur in childhood. Moreover, do scientists believe that infants and young children are egocentric?

-Describe the association of temperament with personality development.

-Explain what is “social and emotional competence“ and provide some examples of how it develops in childhood.

Autistic people often struggle with initiating, maintaining, and understanding social interactions. Social neuroscience is the study of the parts of the brain that support social interactions or the “social brain.” This module provides an overview of ASD and focuses on understanding how social brain dysfunction leads to ASD. Our increasing understanding of the social brain and its differences in ASD will allow us to better identify the genes that cause ASD and will help us to create and pick out treatments to better match individuals.

Because social brain systems emerge in infancy, social neuroscience can help us to figure out how to diagnose ASD even before the symptoms of ASD are clearly present. This is a hopeful time because social brain systems remain malleable well into adulthood and thus open to creative new interventions that are informed by state-of-the-art science.

This episode will help you:

  • Know the basic symptoms of ASD.
  • Distinguish components of the social brain and understand their differences in ASD.
  • Appreciate how social neuroscience may facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of ASD.

People form mental concepts of categories of objects, which permit them to respond appropriately to new objects they encounter. Most concepts cannot be strictly defined but are organized around the “best” examples or prototypes, which have the properties most common in the category. Objects fall into many different categories, but there is usually a most salient one, called the basic-level category, which is at an intermediate level of specificity (e.g., chairs, rather than furniture or desk chairs).

Concepts are closely related to our knowledge of the world, and people can more easily learn concepts that are consistent with their knowledge. Theories of concepts argue either that people learn a summary description of a whole category or else that they learn exemplars of the category. Recent research suggests that there are different ways to learn and represent concepts and that they are accomplished by different neural systems.

This episode will help you:

  • Understand the problems with attempting to define categories.
  • Understand typicality and fuzzy category boundaries.
  • Learn about theories of the mental representation of concepts.
  • Learn how knowledge may influence concept learning.

One of the most remarkable human capacities is to perceive and understand mental states. This capacity, often labeled “theory of mind,” consists of an array of psychological processes that play essential roles in human social life. We review some of these roles, examine what happens when the capacity is deficient, and explore the many processes that make up the capacity to understand minds.

This capacity develops from early beginnings in the first year of life to the adult’s fast and often effortless understanding of others’ thoughts, feelings, and intentions. And though we must speculate about its evolutionary origin, we do have indications that the capacity evolved sometime in the last few million years.

Language and language use constitute a central ingredient of human psychology. Language is an essential tool that enables us to live the kind of life we do. Can you imagine a world in which machines are built, farms are cultivated, and goods and services are transported to our household without language? Is it possible for us to make laws and regulations, negotiate contracts, and enforce agreements and settle disputes without talking?

Much of contemporary human civilization wouldn’t have been possible without the human ability to develop and use language. Like the Tower of Babel, language can divide humanity, and yet, the core of humanity includes the innate ability for language use. Whether we can use it wisely is a task before us in this globalized world.

When an eyewitness stands up in front of the court and describes what happened from her own perspective, this testimony can be extremely compelling—it is hard for those hearing this testimony to take it “with a grain of salt,” or otherwise adjust its power. But to what extent is this necessary?

There is now a wealth of evidence, from research conducted over several decades, suggesting that eyewitness testimony is probably the most persuasive form of evidence presented in court, but in many cases, its accuracy is dubious. There is also evidence that mistaken eyewitness evidence can lead to wrongful conviction—sending people to prison for years or decades, even to death row, for crimes they did not commit. Faulty eyewitness testimony has been implicated in at least 75% of DNA exoneration cases—more than any other cause (Garrett, 2011).

There is also hope, though, that many of the errors may be avoidable if proper precautions are taken during the investigative and judicial processes. Psychological science has taught us what some of those precautions might involve, and we discuss some of that science now

Chances are that you have experienced memory lapses and been frustrated by them. You may have had trouble remembering the definition of a key term on an exam or found yourself unable to recall the name of an actor from one of your favorite TV shows. Maybe you forgot to call your aunt on her birthday or you routinely forget where you put your cell phone. Oftentimes, the bit of information we are searching for comes back to us, but sometimes it does not. Clearly, forgetting seems to be a natural part of life. Why do we forget? And is forgetting always a bad thing?

Five Impediments to Remembering 1. Encoding failures - we don't learn the information in the first place 2. Decay - memories fade over time 3. Inadequate retrieval cues - we lack sufficient reminders 4. Interference - other memories get in the way 5. Trying not to remember - we deliberately attempt to keep things out of mind

Three Stages of the Learning/Memory Process

Psychologists distinguish between three necessary stages in the learning and memory process: encoding, storage, and retrieval (Melton, 1963). Encoding is defined as the initial learning of information; storage refers to maintaining information over time; retrieval is the ability to access information when you need it. If you meet someone for the first time at a party, you need to encode her name (Lyn Goff) while you associate her name with her face. Then you need to maintain the information over time. If you see her a week later, you need to recognize her face and have it serve as a cue to retrieve her name. Any successful act of remembering requires that all three stages be intact. However, two types of errors can also occur. Forgetting is one type: you see the person you met at the party and you cannot recall her name. The other error is misremembering (false recall or false recognition): you see someone who looks like Lyn Goff and call the person by that name (false recognition of the face). Or, you might see the real Lyn Goff, recognize her face, but then call her by the name of another woman you met at the party (misrecall of her name).

Whenever forgetting or misremembering occurs, we can ask, at which stage in the learning/memory process was there a failure?—though it is often difficult to answer this question with precision. One reason for this inaccuracy is that the three stages are not as discrete as our description implies. Rather, all three stages depend on one another. How we encode information determines how it will be stored and what cues will be effective when we try to retrieve it. And too, the act of retrieval itself also changes the way information is subsequently remembered, usually aiding later recall of the retrieved information. The central point for now is that the three stages—encoding, storage, and retrieval—affect one another, and are inextricably bound together.

“Memory” is a single term that reflects a number of different abilities: holding information briefly while working with it (working memory), remembering episodes of one’s life (episodic memory), and our general knowledge of facts of the world (semantic memory), among other types. Remembering episodes involves three processes: encoding information (learning it, by perceiving it and relating it to past knowledge), storing it (maintaining it over time), and then retrieving it (accessing the information when needed). Failures can occur at any stage, leading to forgetting or to having false memories.

The key to improving one’s memory is to improve processes of encoding and to use techniques that guarantee effective retrieval. Good encoding techniques include relating new information to what one already knows, forming mental images, and creating associations among information that needs to be remembered. The key to good retrieval is developing effective cues that will lead the rememberer back to the encoded information. Classic mnemonic systems, known since the time of the ancient Greeks and still used by some today, can greatly improve one’s memory abilities.

"Self-actualizing people are, without one single exception, involved in a cause outside their own skin, in something outside of themselves. They are devoted, working at something, something which is very precious to them - some calling or vocation in the old sense. They are working at something which fate has called them to somehow and which they work at and which they love, so that they work-joy dichotomy in them disappears...

Being values are the meaning of life for most people, but many people don't even recognize that they have these meta-needs." A.H. Maslow

Join us as we explore human nature and the behaviours that lead to self-actualization. The following 8 episodes are devoted to those behaviours will make a difference in the person you are becoming.

There is a spark of Passion within you....and a Purpose to be kept a light!  In order to find meaning, develop your purpose and be one with what you are doing.  But.... you might have to give something else up, in order to do so.  What are you willing to give up to reach your goals?

Today's episode gives you some bite sized ideas for when you need to re-ignite the fire within to reach your Goals.  Inspiration for this episode is from Bianna Wiest and the book, Peace is Every Step, by Thich Nhat Hanh. 

"When we want to understand something, we cannot just stand outside and observe it.  We have to enter deeply into it and be one with it in order to really understand." Thich Nhat Hanh

"Passion is the Spark that lights the Fire; Purpose is the kindling the keeps the Flames Burning all night." Brianna Wiest

Life is not easy. Life is not fair. But those people, who can channel their anger have a better mindset. Do you know what they do? They breathe.

Today's episode is inspired by an excerpt from Thich Nhat Hanh's book, Peace is Every Step. "When anger arises, we may wish to go outside to practice walking meditation." Or you may just want to give a pillow a good smash!

Thich says, " Give your whole heart and mind to the practice of walking meditation combined with breath."

How are you feeling about the food you eat lately?  What about the people you eat with?  Are you thinking about how wonderful good food tastes or are you in a hurry going nowhere all the time?

Today's episode is inspired by an excerpt from Thich Nhat Hanh's book, Peace is Every Step.  "Eating a meal in mindfulness is an important practice."  Take a good look at what you are feeding your body, your precious temple - that only you control.  You are in control of what you eat , how you eat and where you eat.

Thich says, " Food reveals our connection with the earth.  Each bite contains the life of the sun and the earth.  The extent to which our food reveals itself depends on us. "

Remind yourself to practice mindful eating, just build upon the idea one day at a time.  And take the opportunity, when you are able to share a meal with a friend or family member, to build their spirits up, remind them that you can see the good in them when they are feeling deflated.

You deserve to live a Healthy Lifestyle and it will lead you to live a more Inspired Life!

Psychologists conceptualize memory in terms of types, in terms of stages, and in terms of processes. In this section we will consider the two types of memory, explicit memory and implicit memory, and then the three major memory stages: sensory, short-term, and long-term (Atkinson & Shiffrin, 1968). Then, in the next section, we will consider the nature of long-term memory, with a particular emphasis on the cognitive techniques we can use to improve our memories. Our discussion will focus on the three processes that are central to long-term memory: encoding, storage, and retrieval. Learning Objectives -Compare and contrast explicit and implicit memory, identifying the features that define each. -Explain the function and duration of eidetic and echoic memories. -Summarize the capacities of short-term memory and explain how working memory is used to process information in it. When we assess memory by asking a person to consciously remember things, we are measuring explicit memory. Explicit memory refers to knowledge or experiences that can be consciously remembered. There are two types of explicit memory: episodic and semantic. Episodic memory refers to the firsthand experiences that we have had (e.g., recollections of our high school graduation day or of the fantastic dinner we had in New York last year). Semantic memory refers to our knowledge of facts and concepts about the world (e.g., that the absolute value of −90 is greater than the absolute value of 9 and that one definition of the word “affect” is “the experience of feeling or emotion”). chart of different types of memory

Explicit memory is assessed using measures in which the individual being tested must consciously attempt to remember the information. A recall memory test is a measure of explicit memory that involves bringing from memory information that has previously been remembered. We rely on our recall memory when we take an essay test, because the test requires us to generate previously remembered information. A multiple-choice test is an example of a recognition memory test, a measure of explicit memory that involves determining whether information has been seen or learned before. Your own experiences taking tests will probably lead you to agree with the scientific research finding that recall is more difficult than recognition.

Recall, such as required on essay tests, involves two steps: first generating an answer and then determining whether it seems to be the correct one. Recognition, as on multiple-choice test, only involves determining which item from a list seems most correct (Haist, Shimamura, & Squire, 1992). Although they involve different processes, recall and recognition memory measures tend to be correlated. Students who do better on a multiple-choice exam will also, by and large, do better on an essay exam (Bridgeman & Morgan, 1996).

A third way of measuring memory is known as relearning (Nelson, 1985). Measures of relearning (or savings) assess how much more quickly information is processed or learned when it is studied again after it has already been learned but then forgotten. If you have taken some French courses in the past, for instance, you might have forgotten most of the vocabulary you learned. But if you were to work on your French again, you’d learn the vocabulary much faster the second time around. Relearning can be a more sensitive measure of memory than either recall or recognition because it allows assessing memory in terms of “how much” or “how fast” rather than simply “correct” versus “incorrect” responses. Relearning also allows us to measure memory for procedures like driving a car or playing a piano piece, as well as memory for facts and figures.

We think important objects and events in our world will automatically grab our attention, but they often don’t, particularly when our attention is focused on something else. The failure to notice unexpected objects or events when attention is focused elsewhere is now known as inattentional blindness. The study of such failures of awareness has a long history, but their practical importance has received increasing attention over the past decade. This module describes the history and status of research on inattentional blindness, discusses the reasons why we find these results to be counterintuitive, and the implications of failures of awareness for how we see and act in our world.

Learning Objectives

-Learn about inattentional blindness and why it occurs.

-Identify ways in which failures of awareness are counterintuitive.

-Better understand the link between focused attention and failures of awareness.

Do you regularly spot editing errors in movies? Can you multitask effectively, texting while talking with your friends or watching television? Are you fully aware of your surroundings? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you’re not alone. And, you’re most likely wrong. More than 50 years ago, experimental psychologists began documenting the many ways that our perception of the world is limited, not by our eyes and ears, but by our minds. We appear able to process only one stream of information at a time, effectively filtering other information from awareness. To a large extent, we perceive only that which receives the focus of our cognitive efforts: our attention.

We use the term “attention“ all the time, but what processes or abilities does that concept really refer to? This module will focus on how attention allows us to select certain parts of our environment and ignore other parts, and what happens to the ignored information. A key concept is the idea that we are limited in how much we can do at any one time. So we will also consider what happens when someone tries to do several things at once, such as driving while using electronic devices.

Learning Objectives

-Understand why selective attention is important and how it can be studied.

-Learn about different models of when and how selection can occur.

-Understand how divided attention or multitasking is studied, and implications of multitasking in situations such as distracted driving.

What is Attention? Before we begin exploring attention in its various forms, take a moment to consider how you think about the concept. How would you define attention, or how do you use the term? We certainly use the word very frequently in our everyday language: “ATTENTION! USE ONLY AS DIRECTED!” warns the label on the medicine bottle, meaning be alert to possible danger. “Pay attention!” pleads the weary seventh-grade teacher, not warning about danger (with possible exceptions, depending on the teacher) but urging the students to focus on the task at hand. We may refer to a child who is easily distracted as having an attention disorder, although we also are told that Americans have an attention span of about 8 seconds, down from 12 seconds in 2000, suggesting that we all have trouble sustaining concentration for any amount of time (from www.Statisticbrain.com). How that number was determined is not clear from the Web site, nor is it clear how attention span in the goldfish—9 seconds!—was measured, but the fact that our average span reportedly is less than that of a goldfish is intriguing, to say the least. William James wrote extensively about attention in the late 1800s. An often quoted passage (James, 1890/1983) beautifully captures how intuitively obvious the concept of attention is, while it remains very difficult to define in measurable, concrete terms: Everyone knows what attention is. It is the taking possession by the mind, in clear and vivid form, of one out of what seem several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thought. Focalization, concentration of consciousness are of its essence. It implies withdrawal from some things in order to deal effectively with others. (pp. 381–382)

The eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin sense the world around us, and in some cases perform preliminary information processing on the incoming data. But by and large, we do not experience sensation — we experience the outcome of perception, the total package that the brain puts together from the pieces it receives through our senses and that the brain creates for us to experience. When we look out the window at a view of the countryside, or when we look at the face of a good friend, we don’t just see a jumble of colours and shapes — we see, instead, an image of a countryside or an image of a friend (Goodale & Milner, 2006).

Learning Objectives

-Describe how sensation and perception work together through sensory interaction, selective attention, sensory adaptation, and perceptual constancy.

-Give examples of how our expectations may influence our perception, resulting in illusions and potentially inaccurate judgments.

How the Perceptual System Interprets the Environment

This meaning making involves the automatic operation of a variety of essential perceptual processes. One of these is sensory interaction — the working together of different senses to create experience. Sensory interaction is involved when taste, smell, and texture combine to create the flavour we experience in food. It is also involved when we enjoy a movie because of the way the images and the music work together. Although you might think that we understand speech only through our sense of hearing, it turns out that the visual aspect of speech is also important. One example of sensory interaction is shown in the McGurk effect — an error in perception that occurs when we misperceive sounds because the audio and visual parts of the speech are mismatched. You can witness the effect yourself by viewing “The McGurk Effect.”

No matter what you’re doing–solving homework, playing a video game, simply picking out a shirt–all of your actions and decisions relate to your consciousness. But as frequently as we use it, have you ever stopped to ask yourself: What really is consciousness? In this module, we discuss the different levels of consciousness and how they can affect your behavior in a variety of situations. As well, we explore the role of consciousness in other, “altered” states like hypnosis and sleep.

Learning Objectives

-Define consciousness and distinguish between high and low conscious states

-Explain the relationship between consciousness and bias

-Understand the difference between popular portrayals of hypnosis and how it is currently used therapeutically

Introduction

Have you ever had a fellow motorist stopped beside you at a red light, singing his brains out, or picking his nose, or otherwise behaving in ways he might not normally do in public? There is something about being alone in a car that encourages people to zone out and forget that others can see them. Although these little lapses of attention are amusing for the rest of us, they are also instructive when it comes to the topic of consciousness Consciousness is a term meant to indicate awareness. It includes awareness of the self, of bodily sensations, of thoughts and of the environment. In English, we use the opposite word “unconscious” to indicate senselessness or a barrier to awareness, as in the case of “Theresa fell off the ladder and hit her head, knocking herself unconscious.” And yet, psychological theory and research suggest that consciousness and unconsciousness are more complicated than falling off a ladder. That is, consciousness is more than just being “on” or “off.” For instance, Sigmund Freud (1856 – 1939)—a psychological theorist—understood that even while we are awake, many things lay outside the realm of our conscious awareness (like being in the car and forgetting the rest of the world can see into your windows). In response to this notion, Freud introduced the concept of the “subconscious” (Freud, 2001) and proposed that some of our memories and even our basic motivations are not always accessible to our conscious minds.

Consciousness is the ultimate mystery. What is it and why do we have it? These questions are difficult to answer, even though consciousness is so fundamental to our existence. Perhaps the natural world could exist largely as it is without human consciousness; but taking away consciousness would essentially take away our humanity. Psychological science has addressed questions about consciousness in part by distinguishing neurocognitive functions allied with conscious experience from those that transpire without conscious experience. The continuing investigation of these sorts of distinctions is yielding an empirical basis for new hypotheses about the precursors of conscious experience. Richer conceptualizations are thus being built, combining first-person and third-person perspectives to provide new clues to the mystery of consciousness.

Learning Objectives

-Understand scientific approaches to comprehending consciousness.

-Be familiar with evidence about human vision, memory, body awareness, and decision making relevant to the study of consciousness.

-Appreciate some contemporary theories about consciousness.

Conscious Experiences

Contemplate the unique experience of being you at this moment! You, and only you, have direct knowledge of your own conscious experiences. At the same time, you cannot know consciousness from anyone else’s inside view. How can we begin to understand this fantastic ability to have private, conscious experiences?

Most of the time, we perceive the world as a unified bundle of sensations from multiple sensory modalities. In other words, our perception is multimodal. This module provides an overview of multimodal perception, including information about its neurobiology and its psychological effects.

Learning Objectives

-Define the basic terminology and basic principles of multimodal perception.

-Describe the neuroanatomy of multisensory integration and name some of the regions of the cortex and midbrain that have been implicated in multisensory processing.

-Explain the difference between multimodal phenomena and crossmodal phenomena.

-Give examples of multimodal and crossmodal behavioral effects.

Perception: Unified Although it has been traditional to study the various senses independently, most of the time, perception operates in the context of information supplied by multiple sensory modalities at the same time. For example, imagine if you witnessed a car collision. You could describe the stimulus generated by this event by considering each of the senses independently; that is, as a set of unimodal stimuli. Your eyes would be stimulated with patterns of light energy bouncing off the cars involved. Your ears would be stimulated with patterns of acoustic energy emanating from the collision. Your nose might even be stimulated by the smell of burning rubber or gasoline.

However, all of this information would be relevant to the same thing: your perception of the car collision. Indeed, unless someone was to explicitly ask you to describe your perception in unimodal terms, you would most likely experience the event as a unified bundle of sensations from multiple senses. In other words, your perception would be multimodal. The question is whether the various sources of information involved in this multimodal stimulus are processed separately by the perceptual system or not. For the last few decades, perceptual research has pointed to the importance of multimodal perception: the effects on the perception of events and objects in the world that are observed when there is information from more than one sensory modality.

Most of this research indicates that, at some point in perceptual processing, information from the various sensory modalities is integrated. In other words, the information is combined and treated as a unitary representation of the world.

Whereas other animals rely primarily on hearing, smell, or touch to understand the world around them, human beings rely in large part on vision. A large part of our cerebral cortex is devoted to seeing, and we have substantial visual skills. Seeing begins when light falls on the eyes, initiating the process of transduction. Once this visual information reaches the visual cortex, it is processed by a variety of neurons that detect colours, shapes, and motion, and that create meaningful perceptions out of the incoming stimuli. The air around us is filled with a sea of electromagnetic energy: pulses of energy waves that can carry information from place to place. Electromagnetic waves vary in their wavelength— the distance between one wave peak and the next wave peak — with the shortest gamma waves being only a fraction of a millimeter in length and the longest radio waves being hundreds of kilometers long. Humans are blind to almost all of this energy — our eyes detect only the range from about 400 to 700 billionths of a meter, the part of the electromagnetic spectrum known as the visible spectrum.

Learning Objectives

-Identify the key structures of the eye and the role they play in vision.

-Summarize how the eye and the visual cortex work together to sense and perceive the visual stimuli in the environment, including processing colours, shape, depth, and motion Live an Inspired Life!

The sensory systems of touch and pain provide us with information about our environment and our bodies that is often crucial for survival and well-being. Moreover, touch is a source of pleasure. In this module, we review how information about our environment and our bodies is coded in the periphery and interpreted by the brain as touch and pain sensations. We discuss how these experiences are often dramatically shaped by top-down factors like motivation, expectation, mood, fear, stress, and context. When well-functioning, these circuits promote survival and prepare us to make adaptive decisions. Pathological loss of touch can result in perceived disconnection from the body, and insensitivity to pain can be very dangerous, leading to maladaptive hazardous behavior. On the other hand, chronic pain conditions, in which these systems start signaling pain in response to innocuous touch or even in the absence of any observable sensory stimuli, have tremendous negative impact on the lives of the affected. Understanding how our sensory-processing mechanisms can be modulated psychologically and physiologically promises to help researchers and clinicians find new ways to alleviate the suffering of chronic-pain patients

Learning Objectives

-Describe the transduction of somatosensory signals: The properties of the receptor types as well as the difference in the properties of C-afferents and A-afferents and what functions these are thought to have.

-Describe the social touch hypothesis and the role of affective touch in development and bonding.

-Explain the motivation–decision model and descending modulation of pain, and give examples on how this circuitry can promote survival.

-Explain how expectations and context affect pain and touch experiences.

-Describe the concept of chronic pain and why treatment is so difficult.

Hearing allows us to perceive the world of acoustic vibrations all around us, and provides us with our most important channels of communication. This module reviews the basic mechanisms of hearing, beginning with the anatomy and physiology of the ear and a brief review of the auditory pathways up to the auditory cortex. An outline of the basic perceptual attributes of sound, including loudness, pitch, and timbre, is followed by a review of the principles of tonotopic organization, established in the cochlea. An overview of masking and frequency selectivity is followed by a review of the perception and neural mechanisms underlying spatial hearing. Finally, an overview is provided of auditory scene analysis, which tackles the important question of how the auditory system is able to make sense of the complex mixtures of sounds that are encountered in everyday acoustic environments.

Learning Objectives

-Describe the basic auditory attributes of sound.

-Describe the structure and general function of the auditory pathways from the outer ear to the auditory cortex.

-Discuss ways in which we are able to locate sounds in space.

-Describe various acoustic cues that contribute to our ability to perceptually segregate simultaneously arriving sounds.

The topics of sensation and perception are among the oldest and most important in all of psychology. People are equipped with senses such as sight, hearing and taste that help us to take in the world around us. Amazingly, our senses have the ability to convert real-world information into electrical information that can be processed by the brain. The way we interpret this information– our perceptions– is what leads to our experiences of the world. In this module, you will learn about the biological processes of sensation and how these can be combined to create perceptions.

Learning Objectives

-Differentiate the processes of sensation and perception.

-Explain the basic principles of sensation and perception.

-Describe the function of each of our senses.

-Outline the anatomy of the sense organs and their projections to the nervous system.

-Apply knowledge of sensation and perception to real world examples.

-Explain the consequences of multimodal perception.

As the world opens up again to being social, take time to enjoy life again as you venture back out. But, be aware of the lure of the group. Today's episode is a positive vibe as we once again are out of isolation.

"Madness is something rare in individuals-but in groups, parties, peoples, and ages it is the rule." Friedrich Nietzsche

Groups are contagious and you can really get caught up in the excitement of it all! Try something new, put on your boots and go dancing...or whatever social experience you have been missing.

The mammalian nervous system is a complex biological organ, which enables many animals including humans to function in a coordinated fashion. The original design of this system is preserved across many animals through evolution; thus, adaptive physiological and behavioral functions are similar across many animal species. Comparative study of physiological functioning in the nervous systems of different animals lend insights to their behavior and their mental processing and make it easier for us to understand the human brain and behavior. In addition, studying the development of the nervous system in a growing human provides a wealth of information about the change in its form and behaviors that result from this change.

The nervous system is divided into central and peripheral nervous systems, and the two heavily interact with one another. The peripheral nervous system controls volitional (somatic nervous system) and nonvolitional (autonomic nervous system) behaviors using cranial and spinal nerves. The central nervous system is divided into forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain, and each division performs a variety of tasks; for example, the cerebral cortex in the forebrain houses sensory, motor, and associative areas that gather sensory information, process information for perception and memory, and produce responses based on incoming and inherent information. To study the nervous system, a number of methods have evolved over time; these methods include examining brain lesions, microscopy, electrophysiology, electroencephalography, and many scanning technologies.

Learning Objectives

-Describe and understand the development of the nervous system. -Learn and understand the two important parts of the nervous system. -Explain the two systems in the peripheral nervous system and what you know about the different regions and areas of the central nervous system. -Learn and describe different techniques of studying the nervous system. --Understand which of these techniques are important for cognitive neuroscientists. -Describe the reasons for studying different nervous systems in animals other than human beings. Explain what lessons we learn from the evolutionary history of this organ.

Psychopharmacology is the study of how drugs affect behavior. If a drug changes your perception, or the way you feel or think, the drug exerts effects on your brain and nervous system. We call drugs that change the way you think or feel psychoactive or psychotropic drugs, and almost everyone has used a psychoactive drug at some point (yes, caffeine counts).

Understanding some of the basics about psychopharmacology can help us better understand a wide range of things that interest psychologists and others. For example, the pharmacological treatment of certain neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease tells us something about the disease itself.

The pharmacological treatments used to treat psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia or depression have undergone amazing development since the 1950s, and the drugs used to treat these disorders tell us something about what is happening in the brain of individuals with these conditions. Finally, understanding something about the actions of drugs of abuse and their routes of administration can help us understand why some psychoactive drugs are so addictive. In this module, we will provide an overview of some of these topics as well as discuss some current controversial areas in the field of psychopharmacology.

Learning Objectives - How do the majority of psychoactive drugs work in the brain? - How does the route of administration affect how rewarding a drug might be? - Why is grapefruit dangerous to consume with many psychotropic medications? - Why might individualized drug doses based on genetic screening be helpful for treating conditions like depression? - Why is there controversy regarding pharmacotherapy for children, adolescents, and the elderly?

The goal of this module is to introduce you to the topic of hormones and behavior. This field of study is also called behavioral endocrinology, which is the scientific study of the interaction between hormones and behavior. This interaction is bidirectional: hormones can influence behavior, and behavior can sometimes influence hormone concentrations.

Hormones are chemical messengers released from endocrine glands that travel through the blood system to influence the nervous system to regulate behaviors such as aggression, mating, and parenting of individuals.

Learning Objectives

  • Define the basic terminology and basic principles of hormone–behavior interactions.

  • Explain the role of hormones in behavioral sex differentiation.

  • Explain the role of hormones in aggressive behavior.

  • Explain the role of hormones in parental behavior.

Provide examples of some common hormone–behavior interactions.

This module on the biological basis of behaviour provides an overview of the basic structure of neurons and their means of communication. Neurons, cells in the central nervous system, receive information from our sensory systems (vision, audition, olfaction, gustation, and somatosensation) about the world around us; in turn, they plan and execute appropriate behavioural responses, including attending to a stimulus, learning new information, speaking, eating, mating, and evaluating potential threats.

The goal of this module is to become familiar with the anatomical structure of neurons and to understand how neurons communicate by electrochemical signals to process sensory information and produce complex behaviours through networks of neurons. Having a basic knowledge of the fundamental structure and function of neurons is a necessary foundation as you move forward in the field of psychology.

Learning Objectives

  • Differentiate the functional roles between the two main cell classes in the brain, neurons and glia.

  • Describe how the forces of diffusion and electrostatic pressure work collectively to facilitate electrochemical communication.

  • Define resting membrane potential, excitatory postsynaptic potentials, inhibitory postsynaptic potentials, and action potentials.

  • Explain features of axonal and synaptic communication in neurons.

When people think of emotions they usually think of the obvious ones, such as happiness, fear, anger, and sadness. This module looks at the knowledge emotions, a family of emotional states that foster learning, exploring, and reflecting. Surprise, interest, confusion, and awe come from events that are unexpected, complicated, and mentally challenging, and they motivate learning in its broadest sense, be it learning over the course of seconds (finding the source of a loud crash, as in surprise) or over a lifetime (engaging with hobbies, pastimes, and intellectual pursuits, as in interest).

The module reviews research on each emotion, with an emphasis on causes, consequences, and individual differences. As a group, the knowledge emotions motivate people to engage with new and puzzling things rather than avoid them. Over time, engaging with new things, ideas, and people broadens someone’s experiences and cultivates expertise. The knowledge emotions thus don’t gear up the body like fear, anger, and happiness do, but they do gear up the mind—a critical task for humans, who must learn essentially everything that they know.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify the four knowledge emotions.

  • Describe the patterns of appraisals that bring about these emotions.

  • Discuss how the knowledge emotions promote learning.

  • Apply the knowledge emotions to enhancing learning and education, and to one’s own life.

Basic principles of learning are always operating and always influencing human behavior. This module discusses the two most fundamental forms of learning — classical (Pavlovian) and instrumental (operant) conditioning. Through them, we respectively learn to associate 1) stimuli in the environment, or 2) our own behaviors, with significant events, such as rewards and punishments.

The two types of learning have been intensively studied because they have powerful effects on behavior, and because they provide methods that allow scientists to analyze learning processes rigorously. This module describes some of the most important things you need to know about classical and instrumental conditioning, and it illustrates some of the many ways they help us understand normal and disordered behavior in humans.

The module concludes by introducing the concept of observational learning, which is a form of learning that is largely distinct from classical and operant conditioning.

Learning Objectives

  • Distinguish between classical (Pavlovian) conditioning and instrumental (operant) conditioning.

  • Understand some important facts about each that tell us how they work.

  • Understand how they work separately and together to influence human behavior in the world outside the laboratory.

  • Students will be able to list the four aspects of observational learning according to Social Learning Theory.

Early life experiences exert a profound and long-lasting influence on physical and mental health throughout life. The efforts to identify the primary causes of this have significantly benefited from studies of the epigenome—a dynamic layer of information associated with DNA that differs between individuals and can be altered through various experiences and environments.

The epigenome has been heralded as a key “missing piece” of the etiological puzzle for understanding how development of psychological disorders may be influenced by the surrounding environment, in concordance with the genome. Understanding the mechanisms involved in the initiation, maintenance, and heritability of epigenetic states is thus an important aspect of research in current biology, particularly in the study of learning and memory, emotion, and social behavior in humans.

Moreover, epigenetics in psychology provides a framework for understanding how the expression of genes is influenced by experiences and the environment to produce individual differences in behavior, cognition, personality, and mental health. In this module, we survey recent developments revealing epigenetic aspects of mental health and review some of the challenges of epigenetic approaches in psychology to help explain how nurture shapes nature.

Learning Objectives

  • Explain what the term epigenetics means and the molecular machinery involved. - Name and discuss important neural and developmental pathways that are regulated by epigenetic factors, and provide examples of epigenetic effects on personality traits and cognitive behavior.

  • Understand how misregulation of epigenetic mechanisms can lead to disease states, and be able to discuss examples.

  • Recognize how epigenetic machinery can be targets for therapeutic agents, and discuss examples.

Evolution or change over time occurs through the processes of natural and sexual selection. In response to problems in our environment, we adapt both physically and psychologically to ensure our survival and reproduction. Sexual selection theory describes how evolution has shaped us to provide a mating advantage rather than just a survival advantage and occurs through two distinct pathways: intrasexual competition and intersexual selection.

Gene selection theory, the modern explanation behind evolutionary biology, occurs through the desire for gene replication. Evolutionary psychology connects evolutionary principles with modern psychology and focuses primarily on psychological adaptations: changes in the way we think in order to improve our survival.

Two major evolutionary psychological theories are described: Sexual strategies theory describes the psychology of human mating strategies and the ways in which women and men differ in those strategies. Error management theory describes the evolution of biases in the way we think about everything.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn what “evolution” means.

  • Define the primary mechanisms by which evolution takes place.

  • Identify the two major classes of adaptations.

  • Define sexual selection and its two primary processes.

  • Define gene selection theory.

  • Understand psychological adaptations.

  • Identify the core premises of sexual strategies theory.

  • Identify the core premises of error management theory, and provide two empirical examples of adaptive cognitive biases.

People have a deep intuition about what has been called the “nature–nurture question.” Some aspects of our behavior feel as though they originate in our genetic makeup, while others feel like the result of our upbringing or our own hard work. The scientific field of behavior genetics attempts to study these differences empirically, either by examining similarities among family members with different degrees of genetic relatedness, or, more recently, by studying differences in the DNA of people with different behavioural traits.

The scientific methods that have been developed are ingenious, but often inconclusive. Many of the difficulties encountered in the empirical science of behaviour genetics turn out to be conceptual, and our intuitions about nature and nurture get more complicated the harder we think about them. In the end, it is an oversimplification to ask how “genetic” some particular behavior is. Genes and environments always combine to produce behavior, and the real science is in the discovery of how they combine for a given behavior.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand what the nature–nurture debate is and why the problem fascinates us.

  • Understand why nature–nurture questions are difficult to study empirically.

  • Know the major research designs that can be used to study nature–nurture questions.

  • Appreciate the complexities of nature–nurture and why questions that seem simple turn out not to have simple answers.

Because of its ability to determine cause-and-effect relationships, the laboratory experiment is traditionally considered the method of choice for psychological science. One downside, however, is that as it carefully controls conditions and their effects, it can yield findings that are out of touch with reality and have limited use when trying to understand real-world behavior.

This module highlights the importance of also conducting research outside the psychology laboratory, within participants’ natural, everyday environments, and reviews existing methodologies for studying daily life

Learning Objectives

  • Identify limitations of the traditional laboratory experiment.

  • Explain ways in which daily life research can further psychological science.

  • Know what methods exist for conducting psychological research in the real world

Psychologists test research questions using a variety of methods. Most research relies on either correlations or experiments. With correlations, researchers measure variables as they naturally occur in people and compute the degree to which two variables go together.

With experiments, researchers actively make changes in one variable and watch for changes in another variable. Experiments allow researchers to make causal inferences. Other types of methods include longitudinal and quasi-experimental designs. Many factors, including practical constraints, determine the type of methods researchers use. Often researchers survey people even though it would be better, but more expensive and time consuming, to track them longitudinally.

Learning Objectives

  • Articulate the difference between correlational and experimental designs.

  • Understand how to interpret correlations. Understand how experiments help us to infer causality.

  • Understand how surveys relate to correlational and experimental research. Explain what a longitudinal study is.

  • List a strength and weakness of different research designs.

By exploring this shared past, students will be better able to understand how psychology has developed into the discipline we know today.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the precursors to the establishment of the science of psychology. Identify key individuals and events in the history of American psychology.

  • Describe the rise of professional psychology in America.

  • Develop a basic understanding of the processes of scientific development and change. Recognize the role of women and people of colour in the history of American psychology.

We are bombarded every day with claims about how the world works, claims that have a direct impact on how we think about and solve problems in society and our personal lives. This module explores important considerations for evaluating the trustworthiness of such claims by contrasting between scientific thinking and everyday observations (also known as “anecdotal evidence”).

Learning Objectives

  • Compare and contrast conclusions based on scientific and everyday inductive reasoning.

  • Understand why scientific conclusions and theories are trustworthy, even if they are not able to be proven.

  • Articulate what it means to think like a psychological scientist, considering qualities of good scientific explanations and theories.

  • Discuss science as a social activity, comparing and contrasting facts and values.

Inspired by the best-selling book by Maxwell Maltz, I share an easy to remember picture of the successful personality. Just remember the word Success. The success-type personality is composed of:

Sense of direction

Understanding

Courage

Compassion

Esteem

Self-Confidence

Self-Acceptance

You must have courage everyday to risk making mistakes, risk failure, risk being humiliated. A step in the wrong direction is better than staying in the same place all your life. Once you are moving forward you can correct your course as you go. Bet on yourself and take a chance on your own create potential.

You deserve to live an inspired life! Diane

Scientific research has been one of the great drivers of progress in human history, and the dramatic changes we have seen during the past century are due primarily to scientific findings—modern medicine, electronics, automobiles and jets, birth control, and a host of other helpful inventions. Psychologists believe that scientific methods can be used in the behavioral domain to understand and improve the world. Although psychology trails the biological and physical sciences in terms of progress, we are optimistic based on discoveries to date that scientific psychology will make many important discoveries that can benefit humanity. This module outlines the characteristics of the science, and the promises it holds for understanding behavior. The ethics that guide psychological research are briefly described. It concludes with the reasons you should learn about scientific psychology.

Learning Objectives * Describe how scientific research has changed the world. * Describe the key characteristics of the scientific approach. * Discuss a few of the benefits, as well as problems that have been created by science. * Describe several ways that psychological science has improved the world. * Describe a number of the ethical guidelines that psychologists follow.

You are going to love this! As part of my journey in understanding the world of psychology I came across a paper written in 1956 which explains why we remember certain things like phone numbers and identification numbers that are grouped in sevens, plus or minus two. Then we go on the journey of noticing the number 7 throughout history and in everyday occurrences. There is psychology behind the number 7 that not only will attract your attention, but help you in learning.

In his paper, George Miller says: "I shall begin my case history by telling you about some experiments that tested how accurately people can assign numbers to the magnitudes of various aspects of a stimulus. In the traditional language of psychology these would be called experiments in absolute judgment. Historical accident, however, has decreed that they should have another name. We now call them experiments on the capacity of people to transmit information. Since these experiments would not have been done without the appearance of information theory on the psychological scene, and since the results are analyzed in terms of the concepts of information theory, I shall have to preface my discussion with a few remarks about this theory. "

Sounds like too much information? Well the paper ends with the exciting revelation that since the beginning of time, the number 7 has been magic, plus or minus two.

"And finally, what about the magical number seven? What about the seven wonders of the world, the seven seas, the seven deadly sins, the seven daughters of Atlas in the Pleiades, the seven ages of man, the seven levels of hell, the seven primary colors, the seven notes of the musical scale, and the seven days of the week? What about the seven-point rating scale, the seven categories for absolute judgment, the seven objects in the span of attention, and the seven digits in the span of immediate memory? For the present I propose to withhold judgment. Perhaps there is something deep and profound behind all these sevens, something just calling out for us to discover it. But I suspect that it is only a pernicious, Pythagorean coincidence."

I give my own examples of the number 7 as seen through history in books and film. After I finished this episode I started thinking about the Seven pools on the Hawaiian island in Maui, and other places.

Share in the comments below where you have seen the number 7, plus or minus 2 throughout history and in everyday life. If you like the show, share it with someone you know that wants to live an inspired life!

You deserve to obtain knowledge you need to succeed in life. But who teaches you how to learn - how to learn? The jump from high school to University, College, Trade School or frankly, life can be daunting.

Today's episode will provide you with some tips and tricks on how to set yourself up for success. This does not have to be overwhelming if you break it down to smaller segments.

I am going to Queens University as part of my research for my book and the accompanying on-line course. So I'm putting myself in your shoes to find out what I don't know - about what I don't know.

My journey begins with Psychology 100 which is a 12 week fully immersive course that has one thousand eight hundred and ninety-two pages of material. We unpack that hot-mess of overwhelming material.

As a bonus, if you have an interest in psychology, I have created a playlist that will take you through all 1892 pages which may help you understand human nature a bit better, or it may help you pass the Psych-100 course and apply what you are learning.

As promised, below are the links on my other episodes with other helpful hints on time management and creating a better learning environment. Make a nest to take the test!

Live an inspired Life, Diane

Would you like to get into better shape? Have you started and stopped an exercise regime too many times to count? Then you will want to tune-in to today's episode which will provide you with some great ideas on how to start a fitness habit.

Begin by reminding yourself why you want to improve on your health. Remind yourself that you want to improve on your fitness because you love your body, not that you hate it. Remind yourself that each of us is different and you need to take time to find the right routine, schedule and form of exercise for you.

Think of it as building blocks. Working with small increments of time and building upon them. You don't need to start with an hour a day. I started with 5 minutes a day - you can find 5 minutes for yourself. You deserve to add you to your schedule.

By building a habit of fitness, to bring out the athlete that you are, consistency is key. That's why beginning with 5 minutes versus no minutes works. Then you can build upon that with another 5 minutes. You may need to play with this idea for awhile in order to figure out what time of day works for you. This may also change as the seasons change, as your life changes or as your job changes.

My mantra is "No Matter What." You have a choice to take control over your body. Do not let outside influences tell you otherwise. You are in control.

My jam is 80's music. Music is magic and stirs the soul. Use that to your advantage to keep your spirits lifted.

My Identity shift is becoming a person who exercises.

What have you done in the past that has worked for you that you can build upon? Until you actually do the physical work, you won't know how to do it and you won't know what works for you.

It takes time to build a healthier body but when you do, you will live a more inspired life.

Bob Proctor was a fierce force in the Personal Development world. If you want to change your life, you need to Change. You are the only one who can do that.

In this virtual world that we live in, you have every opportunity to have your own virtual world-class mentor. Bob always said that the secret to his success was the book "Think and Grow Rich." But he also had gone to a seminar in Canada that discussed the subconscious mind and how you need to work at using it by building up your repertoire slowly.

Quotes from today's episode:

"Thoughts become things. If you see it in your mind, you will hold it your hand." Bob Proctor

"Success comes to those who become success conscious." Think and Grow Rich

"You are the only problem you will ever have and you are the only solution, change is inevitable. Personal growth is always a personal decision." Bob Proctor

"I am a Master of my Fate, I am the captain of my Soul." William Ernest Henley

"The subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between what's real and what's imagined." Bob Proctor

"If you know what to do to reach your goal, it's not a big enough goal." Bob Proctor

Control your mind and you will control your destiny, whether good or bad. Tune in weekly and subscribe for positive inspiration. Live an Inspired Life, Diane

"Set your House in Perfect order before you Criticize the World." Rule 6 in our journey through Jordan Peterson's bestselling book, The 12 Rules for Life, An Antidote to Chaos.

Or as I like to say: "Those who live in glass houses, should not throw stones."

3 takeaways from today's episode/chapter:

Learn to reflect and let go.

Stop

Focus

Reflect

PS - make sure you get up again.

Thought-provoking indeed. Peterson gives us insight into how you need to pay attention to what you are thinking. After all, you are not a victim, you are resilient. So what is this sage advice? Simply put, 'start stopping today - don't waste time.'

In the usual Peterson spirit, he does quote the scripture. This time it's Romans 6:23. "For the wages of sin is death (but the free fit of God is eternal life the Christ Jesus our Lord)."

This brings us a bit of grounding to the fact that this is not a new idea - a simple reminder of what is.

Quotes from today's episode:

"Who knows what existence might be like if we all decided to strive for the best." JBP "Untangle your past and move more confidently into the future." JBP

"Titles do not define who we are. Actions define who we are." Rebecca Kennedy @OnePeloton

"Success makes us complacent." JBP

"We are a reflection of what we do." Diane Planidin

Are you channeling your creative energy? Are you a beacon of hope? Do you look inward first? You are resilient...not a victim. Aim skyward and live an inspired Life!

"Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them." Rule 5 from Dr. Peterson's book, 12 Rules for life - an Antidote to Chaos.

"It's no simple matter to organize the mind." JBP - which this Rule is all about. "Children must be shaped and informed, or they cannot thrive."

Today we share some fun tips and the importance of open communication, confidence of success and how to reward behaviour for positive results. Choose how you will shape the world through your own reflection: your child and those you love and mentor.

Quotes from today's episode:

"If a child has not been taught to behave properly by the age of four, it will forever be difficult for him or her to make friends." JBP

"Your child is not an inconvenience." Diane Planidin

"Let your little monsters know what is desirable and what is not, so they become sophisticated denizens* of the world outside the family." JBP

*Denizen - an inhabitant of a particular place

"Motivation is directly proportionate to the willingness to expend energy." Jordan Peterson

(on the Joe Rogan Podcast)

Catch your child doing something right, even when it's not expected of them, and reward them with praise. Shine a guiding light on what you can do for them and Live an Inspired Life! Diane

"Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today." Rule 4 from Dr. Peterson's book, 12 Rules for Life - an antidote to Chaos. Get ready to Illuminate the World!

Ready to Level-up? "Ask yourself what you would require to be motivated to undertake the job, honestly, and listen to the answer." JBP

Decide who you want to be;

Focus on you.

Focus on your Family

Quotes from today's show:

"Concentrate on the day, so that you can live in the present, and attend completely and property to what is right in front of you-but do that only after you have decided to let what is within shine forth, so that it can justify Being and ILLUMINATE the world. Do that only after you have determined to sacrifice whatever it is that must be sacrificed so that you can pursue the highest good." JBP

Stand up Straight, with your shoulders back - Rule 1 in Dr. Peterson's 12 Rules for Life - today's episode topic. This book is thought provoking and demands your attention, makes you think and wills you to understand the meaning of life.

Inspiration abounds with every turn of the page - it was difficult not to give more time and depth into the nuances outlined for all of us to digest. We discuss everything from hierarchy to the magic cells of the brain; mindset to minions and of course what lobsters can teach us about ourselves.

The yin and yang of masculinity and femininity is required for order and chaos to have equanimity and discover the alignment we all strive for.

If you don't know how to bounce back from your mental demons, try building your resistance with mental workouts.

Sarah Peyton provided a wealth of insight last week on moving from self-sabotage to self-care. You can change the contract you have with yourself once you remember that the struggle is the feeling you get when you are on the right path.

Just like exercising your physical muscles, you can exercise the neurons in your brain to build stronger connections and cognitive performance.

"Our lives are crafted by our early experience" Sarah Peyton

"The amygdala doesn't know that time has passed." Sarah Peyton

A Scientific paper you may be interested in is in the US National Library of Medicine -

"New neurons are produced each day in the hippocampus through the process of neurogenesis. Both mental and physical training can modify this process by increasing the number of new cells that mature into functional neurons in the adult brain. However, the mechanisms whereby these increases occur are not necessarily the same. Physical activity, especially aerobic exercise greatly increases the number of new neurons that are produced in the hippocamal formation. In contrast, mental training via skill learning increases the numbers that survive, particularly when the training goals are challenging. Both manipulations can increase cognitive performance in the future, some of which are reportedly mediated by the presence of new neurons in the adult hippocampus. Based on these data, we suggest that a combination of mental and physical training, referred to here as MAP training, is more beneficial for neuronal recruitment and overall mental health than either activity alone." Mental and physical training increase hippocampal neurogenesis and facilitate learning. Neurogenesis is required for some, but not all, cognitive enhancing effects of training. Mental training has its greatest effect when difficult, but attainable. Larger effects may be observed following a combination of both mental and physical (MAP) training.

In order for your imagination to take hold, you have to believe what you are imagining is real. You do this by making rational versus irrational decisions.

“When we are in a group we feel different emotions, infected by the group mood. We are more prone to taking risks, to acting irrationally, because everybody else is. This social personality can come to dominate who we are. Listening so much to others and conforming our behaviour to them, We slowly lose a sense of our uniqueness and the ability to think for ourselves. The only solution is to develop self-awareness and a superior understanding of the changes that occur in us in groups. With such intelligence, We can become superior social actors, able to outwardly fit in and cooperate with others on a high level, while retaining our independence and rationality.” Robert Greene

"Focus on positive results and when things seem to be getting a little chaotic, be the person with a calm mind, a patient persona with the goal of becoming the rational one, the leader." Diane Planidin

Quotes

“We have a responsibility to set out to discover what we are made for, to discover our life's work, to discover what we are called to do. And after we discover that, we should set out to do it with all the strength and all the power that we can muster.”

Martin Luther King

"Unlike animals, with their instincts to guide them past dangers, we humans have to rely upon our conscious decisions. We do the best we can when it comes to our career path and handling the inevitable setbacks in life. But in the back of our minds we can send an overall lack of direction, as we are pulled this way and that way by our moods and by the opinions of others. How did we end up in this job, in this place? Such drifting can lead to dead ends. The way to avoid such a fate is to develop a sense of purpose, discovering our calling in life and using such a knowledge to guide us in our decisions. We come to know ourselves more deeply - our taste and inclinations. We trust ourselves, knowing which battles and detours to avoid. Even our moments of doubt, even our failures have a purpose to toughen us up. With such energy and direction, our actions have unstoppable force." Robert Greene

"When you know who you are, it becomes your anchor in life". Diane Planidin

You are not a pawn in a game controlled by others; you are an active player who can move the pieces at will and even rewrite the rules.” Robert Greene

If you are open to taking the next step in personal development through understanding human nature and the benefits of not being defensive but rather develop the skill of gentle persuasion, Diane shares the five strategies to do so in order to soften peoples resistance.

Step back and take a secondary position. Ask people for their opinions, be subtle about it as you learn more about them and their underlying motives. Remember the goal is not to be manipulative, then they will feel it, the goal is to work on your own mindset by not being defensive so that you can expand your own world, your own influence, rather than being too aggressive in your actions and words. People usually get aggressive when they are desperate and fearful of their future.

Diane discusses:

-what happens when you try to be convincing

-the power of persuasion

-how the Positive Vibe is real

You will Learn:

-how to stop arguing

-5 Strategies to soften peoples resistance

-how to unleash your creative powers

Quotes from today's shows"

“Never attack people for their beliefs or make them feel insecure about their intelligence or goodies-that will only strengthen their defensiveness and make your task impossible. Make them feel that by doing what you want they are being noble and altruistic-the ultimate lure. Learn to tame your own stubborn nature and free your mind from its defensive and closed positions, unleashing your creative powers.” Robert Greene

“People seek less to be instructed, and even to be amused, than to be praised and applauded” Jean de La Bruyere

  • Why absence makes the heart grow fonder

“ When choosing people to work and associate with, do not be mesmerized by their reputation or taken in by the surface image they try to project. Instead, train yourself to look deep within them and see their character. People’s character is formed in the earliest years and by their daily habits. It is what compels them to repeat certain actions in their lives and fall into negative patterns. Look closely at such patterns and remember that people never do something just once. They will inevitably repeat their behaviour.” Robert Greene

Diane Discusses:

  • Why you need to know about the Law of Compulsive Behaviour

  • Why you should care and why it's important

  • How our character is formed and when it begins

You will Learn:

  • How to recognize molded habits

  • What you can do to upgrade your Character

  • When your values & morals are clear, the decisions you need to make, the actions you need to take are so much easier

Episodes mentioned: 035 - Science behind staying patient - https://youtu.be/40Uuwn_b6-4

You must master your weaknesses with a corresponding strength. It takes practice and replacing an old unhealthy habit with a new one. Train yourself to have patience, not to let others push your buttons to get a reaction for their entertainment.

You are not going to want to miss the next chapter. If you like the show, share it with someone you know.

“People of real strength are as rare as gold, and if you find them, you should respond as if you had discovered a treasure.”

Now that you have mastered your emotions and are aware of the image you are portraying to those you influence the next step is indeed become an excellent observer on how others and yourself communicate. It will heighten your senses and intuition and then provide you with renewed confidence. The Art of Impression Management - how clever!

Today we are discussing the Law of Role-Playing from Robert Greene’s book, the Laws of Human Nature which he discusses how to see through people’s masks.

Diane discusses

  • Why you need to be a keen observer
  • How we are all born actors
  • How to become more confident

You will learn

  • How to related to people in a deeper way
  • How to uncover someone else’s mask
  • How to develop you own acting skills to bring our your true character

Quotes in this Episode:

“ People tend to wear the mask that shows them off in the best possible light - humble, confident, diligent. They say the right things, smile, and seem interested in our ideas. They learn to conceal their insecurities and envy. If we take this appearance for reality, we never really know their true feelings, and on occasion we are blindsided by their sudden resistance, hostility, and manipulative actions." Robert Greene

Shakespeare “All the worlds a stage and all the men and women merely players.”

“People are like the moon, they show you only one of their sides.” Arthur Schopenhauer.

Episodes mentioned: 018 - The Trouble with Bullies

How do you start to be aware of the different types of people in your life and how they are acting? Make a decision to pick and choose what is the most important. What I mean by that is if somebody saying something with conviction and it's actually a little glimmer of a lie. If it’s not going to change your life - go with the flow and save your energy for when the stakes are much high. When bullies don't have someone feeding their fire then eventually the fire gets washed out.

"We all naturally possess the most remarkable tool for connecting to people and acting social power - empathy. When cultivated and properly used, it can allow us to see into the moods and minds of others, giving us the power to anticipate people’s actions and gently lower their resistance.” Robert Greene

  • Why we are so needy

  • Why it's important to work on your empathy skills

  • Strategies to train yourself

YOU WILL LEARN:

  • How to transform self-love into empathy

“The deepest principle of Human Nature is the craving to be appreciated”. William James

Practice these empathic skills and see what works best for you as you make progress. Try it on different people and go with the flow by keeping an open mindset. You can also do this by people watching and seeing how they interact with others. Make it a guessing game and then see if you are right. Practice Visceral and Analytic empathy. "You will find," Greene says, "a smoother ride through life, as you avoid unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings."

Have you ever encountered someone who believed they were superior to you and belittling, berating and badgering you? Have you ever been around someone who sabotaged your career because they were jealous, full envy and revenge. Or have you ever felt helpless, frustration and even anger with a hint of regret? Then you need to hear this as you work through the emotional rollercoaster of life.

Diane discusses

  • why we are so emotional

  • why it's important to work on your rationality

  • strategies toward bringing out the rational self

You will learn

  • how to identify different bias'

  • why rationality provides you with clarity

  • when to practice mastering your emotional self

Maya Angelou said that if you can’t change something, then change your attitude. You can’t change another person just as much as another person cannot change you - remember that. You cannot change someone who is evil and pushes your buttons, but you can feel pity for them and deflect them from your world or better yet, don’t give them any of your precious time.

This is the first chapter to begin your journey in exploring the strategies you will instil towards bringing out your rational self - by being aware of the inflaming factors while recognizing the bias within you and others. You will begin to think for yourself instead of reacting to what others give you. Take time to recognize your emotions and take time before you respond. You will find more creative solutions with a clear and calm vision.

Nelson Mandella "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”

Diane Planidin "Lead yourself and those you influence with optimism - forward. Nelson Mandella “I never lose. I either win or I learn”.

Diane Planidin "When your vision and your values are clear, the decisions and priorities come to you easier because now you are being true to your character."

Brendon Burchard “If you leave your time to randomness, you are stealing from your greatness”.

Warren Buffet, "You only get one mind and one body. And it's got to last a lifetime. But if you don't take care of that mind and that body, they'll be a wreck 40 years later...it's what you do right now, today, that determines how your mind and body will operate 10, 20, and 30 years from now.”

By sharing your time with me today, I know that you believe in yourself, you believe in self-development and helping your children or those you influence live with a healthy mind, body and heart. For that, I applaud you.

Live well, Diane

Have you ever thought you were right and it turned out you were wrong? That is your perception becoming your reality. This episode discusses the classic "Cookie Thief" poem and how to use it as a reminder when you get into awkward situations and also how to remedy them.

It takes practice and patience to understand others and change how you think about them. Through communication, empathy and accountability you will open your mindset and try new ways of viewing others.

Thank you to Valerie Cox for sharing her poem. It appears the origin of the story dates back in history and her poem was published in the 3rd edition of Chicken Soup for the Soul in 1996.

Today’s topic is about Giftedness and designed to provoke questions as you observe your own children. I share 3 traits that were abundant in my own Gifted child, observation was key in determining this for us.

As a parent it’s important to be aware of your child’s interest and help them cultivate it. Boredom sets in easily and distraction is at an all time historical high. Dig in and observe your child’s abilities as you build on the foundation and explore their expertise hidden in plain sight.

Think of you and your family. When you are happy, healthy at peace, your family is too, it’s contagious. How do you pursue happiness when there’s aways someone out there trying to steal it from you. One way is to identify the ‘triggers’. Who or what is pushing your buttons without your permission. Who is saying, doing, being negative everyday and you are getting tired of having your shields up all the time. Wouldn’t it be nice to let your guard down every now and then and let happiness in. By identifying what ‘triggers’ you and your spiral into woe is me, you can practice being able to let that slide off, just like water on a ducks back.

Can you think of a situation where your pursuit of happiness is being challenged? Today I share 3 Tips on happiness and the secret of the pursuit. Whether you are raising a family, on your own or taking care of a loved one, this episode is designed to help as many people as possible discover their happy place and stay there.

'Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one’s values.' Ayn Rand

“Happiness is not pleasure, nor is it virtue. It is the exercise of virtue.” Aristotle

“If your joy is derived from what society thinks of you, you’re always going to be disappointed” Madonna

Never let anyone plant a seed of self-doubt in order for them to feel better. If you are interested in more on the bully subject, I go into great detail in Episode 018, The Trouble with Bullies: https://youtu.be/7oE37Asfz0c

Sir Thomas Browne: “I am the happiest man alive. I have that in me that can convert poverty into riches, adversity to prosperity, and I am more invulnerable than Achilles; fortune hath not one place to hit me.

“The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.” — Ayn Rand

When you become aware of how powerful being resolute is, you can us it to your own advantage and teach your children, students, family and staff how to do the same.

These principles are universal to your own situation. We do everything twice - being resolute is the action that has developed from our thoughts. Today we discuss a few examples of how to take control of this powerful tool we all have & the power of the made up mind with the goal of helping you!

"If you can give your child only one gift, let it be enthusiasm" Bruce Barton

Today's episode was inspired by my #American listeners and the symbolism of the #Resolute desk treasure in the White House. Choose the Resolute action that will lead you on the path of #Success.

The beauty of the World lies in the diversity of it's people. That is a quote from "Unknown".

What really makes us unique is our culture, tradition and music, which has a universal language.

As we celebrate the anniversary of King Ludwig's marriage today we are reminded of why it is so important to keep tradition alive, no matter where you live. Join me on the journey of how a marriage in 1810 created a new tradition that is still carried on today.

What makes you unique? What are you teaching your children and students about global traditions? How did these traditions evolve? All very important questions in keeping the spirit of our heritage and connecting the generations.

How lucky are we that we can enjoy the riches of the world, without ever leaving home.

Music provides a powerful tool for learning and stirs your soul. “There are few things that stimulate the brain the way music does,” says one Johns Hopkins otolaryngologist. “If you want to keep your brain engaged throughout the aging process, listening to or playing music is a great tool. It provides a total brain workout.”

Did you know that Music is also lives inside our brains longer? There is a part of our brain, that looks like the shape of Italy :), that researchers have identified as the Musical Memory Area. Music lasts longer in our memories! You can use music as a tool to learn and teach. It appears that since it creates an elevated emotion and feelings to the surface, it also builds a memory.

So what's your jam? What gets you moving and motivated?

Welcome to Flourish, where we explore how to Nurture, Coach and Inspire the Next Generation for Success and let their Genius flourish, blossom, bloom, grow, shine! This is going to be a journey of inspiration and joy. I am grateful that I am able to reach out across the globe and make a difference in someone’s life. Health begins with your thoughts for they become your words, which become your actions and how we develop habits. Once you develop a habit, be it good or bad, it becomes your character and once your personality is developed it becomes your destiny. So it’s important to plant the right messages and beliefs as early in life as possible. That is not a new idea, that philosophy was written by Lao Tzu centuries ago. But we need reminding, we need to be the guardian angels of our children and those we influence. I had many victories and fiascos as a parent. My hope is others can learn from my experience and mistakes - as no one is perfect. Through personal development and mutual respect, being a positive influence and advocate for my child has been my greatest achievement in life. Realize: We are all born with a gift, we are all born with purpose. Life’s journey is to hone and develop that gift, as purpose changes within. I’m your coach, Diane Planidin, welcome as I share my journey to success.

FEAR - Focus, Experience, Achievement, Reward.

Imagine what a better world we would all live in, if we lifted each other up.  If we taught our children, from day one, that they have self-empowerment.

Choose who you want to see in the mirror.  Because that is who you are going to see in your children, your students, your employees - anyone you influence and impact

Welcome to Flourish, where we explore how to Nurture, Coach and Inspire the next generation for success! How do you do this?  Well by working on your own personal development in order to reflect positively on those you influence.

To truly feel beautiful and bring your confidence out from within, you need to feel  joy, gratitude and curiosity.  This is a very powerful way to maintain a low level of stress, so you have the opportunity to create.

To truly realize you have potential, you are smart and trust that you are worthy, you need to think and understand your emotions are simply your energy in motion. 

To truly realize your power, where you belong and your true identity, you need choose who you are, not who society says you are. 

“All serious daring starts from within”. Eudora Welty

“You may say I’m a dreamer. But I’m not the only one.  I hope some day you’ll join us.  And the world will live as one.”  John Lennon

What is it you do to decompress? Regroup and find your inner peace? How do you gain insight into what really matters most to you and your family?

“At the centre of your being you have the answer, you know who you are and you know what you want”. Lao Tzu

Remind yourself of who you are and what you are becoming. How are you imprinting on others and the children surrounding you. Even if they are not your own. Gain insight by looking within and your intuition will grow and your inspiration will flourish.

"One of the greatest benefits of meditation is that we will not only have peace in our own homes, but will contribute to the peace of the world. Throughout the world, people are praying for peace. But, as the expression goes, charity begins at home. World peace can only become a reality when each of us individually has peace in our own circles. If we bring peace into our individual spheres, the effect will be cumulative, and it will contribute to world peace.” Rajinder Singh

Stop those who wish to 'whack-a-mole' others. Your  mental health is precious and your Life matters.

"Be the change you wish to see in the World". Ghandi

Let this be a time of happy memories as we all stay home with our families in #SelfIsolation.

Today we discuss ideas on how to stay positive and inspired through the #Free Entertainment that is available around the world. Life as we all know it is changing right before us, but we are resilient and have the resources available - it's practically endless.

We need to be flexible and adjust, it's true. That doesn't mean losing ourselves and giving up. It means trying new ways of staying hopeful and filled with gratitude as this too shall pass. The worldwide entertainment industry has truly rose to the occasion during this #Pandemic. There are so many opportunities to have access to not only the best of the best in Arts and #Culture but to a vast array of Independent creators as they share their talent with the world.

Creativity has taken on a whole new meaning and is within you. Look for the inspiration. Develop your own plan and entertain yourself and your family without spending any money. #Nature is a perfect example on how all of us can stay inspired and Creative all while incorporating our love of Culture and the Arts - even if we didn't know it! Just look to the people of #India and their reaction to seeing the Himalayan Mountain range, some for the first time in 30 years. Would that not be the most inspiring, breathtaking view to give you a glimmer of light in your day?

There are more neurons in our brains than stars in the sky I once heard. Look up at the sky and the wonder of the #supermoon. We are one world sharing the same sky, enjoy the wonder of our planet, naturally. Just like your natural talent to create, where there is joy, there is inspiration. Where there is music, there are smiles and memories. Flow through any obstacle put before you, just like water, as it knows no boundaries.

Wishing you a wonderful #Holiday weekend, stay safe and look out for one another. #SelfIsolation does not mean you are alone.

These are trying times for a lot people around the globe. Today we discuss three tips on what you need in order to stay inspired and stay strong for your family.

This is not work, this is opportunity. Take your previous routine and find a twist, a pocket of time that you can use for the benefit of yourself and your family.

"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work" Thomas Edison

"There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle." Deepak Chopra

Use the power of tangible objects to get creative and keep your family entertained - there's always time for some giggles too!

"In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity". Albert Einstein

Patience is the number one priority for yourself, your family and your community; not to mention the entire planet.

"As mindful humans, we know we need to be physically isolated right now but that doesn't mean we have to be mentally isolated....Now more than ever, we need to look out for each other" Dee Caffari

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to shine that counts." Winston Churchill

When you learn by doing, that's Tacit Knowledge, then you are hard wired to never forget and the knowledge is ingrained in you. During these uncertain times, look at this as an opportunity to learn something new, teach your children what you know and then give them the chance to try on their own as they build their own Tacit Knowledge.

We live in an age of information which can be easily transformed into knowledge. As you master and hone a skill you develop the wisdom to share with others. There is an abundant number of people on this wonderful planet that are in self-isolation. Keep your mind and body in shape by trying something new or finally reading that book you bought 5 months ago.

Patience will surface as you master a few foundational skills. Once it does, the act of cooking will become second nature to you. Take small steps while you learn to cook, it's a lot less daunting.

French Toast is a wonderful dish that you can easily learn to make or teach to your children. With only a few ingredients and an endless imagination for toppings, what could be better.

"When you practice and develop any skill, it migrates to become tacit knowledge." Robert Greene

"The measure of intelligence is the ability to change" Albert Einstein

Take the opportunity to learn something new these next few weeks as the globe has more and more people staying at home. If you have a request for a Crazy Cooking show recipe, let me know! There is a link on the Flourish.Mom website or post a comment.

How do you keep yourself and your life in balance, without feeling overwhelmed and out of tune.  How do you manage schedules and jobs and children and everything else all while maintaining your own sense of self?  Every now and then life throws you a curve and gets out of balance. 

When you feel out of balance you can't create.  You can't think and it's very hard to stay inspired.  It's important to keep both your physical and mental well being in focus.  The key is to hone in one where you are out of balance and make your priority to live in harmony.  We are all human and need to remind ourselves that being out of balance is normal.

Seek the wisdom of others and try my formula in your own life:  Attitude + Fitness + Eyes Wide Open

You will feel less overwhelmed and once you are in balance you will find that a natural side effect is that your family and children become balanced as well.  You will have the time and energy once you prioritize what is truly important.  It's not easy and does take some time.  "Nothing will work unless you do". Maya Angelou.

When you have a set back, create the solution and set forth, you'll be glad you did.  Choose to balance yourself and the rest will follow.

There is Hope! As the original Influencers, Parents and Educators have an immense responsibility in raising the next generation. When something is wrong and a child is not striving for success, you know.

You do - so why not get to the root of the problem and let their genius blossom. Let's take the Un out of Unmotivated, but how? In today's episode I discuss the immense power that Parents and Educators have but with great power, comes great responsibility. It begins with the Golden Circle of Trust.

"The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives" William James

Develop a Positive Mindset and teach it to children at a young age; self-empowerment, critical thinking and habits are a good start. Get ready for a Paradigm shift!

Love is in the air as Valentines day will soon be here.    Take a moment to show gratitude towards one another and express the joy you feel in your heart.  Giggles and surprises at any age are always a welcome gesture.    Words nourish us, why not tell your child, your friend, you spouse or even a co-worker have a 'super star' day.  Spread best wishes and gratitude, at any time of year - it's catching.

"If you are a chef, no matter how good a chef you are, it's not good cooking for yourself; the joy is in cooking for others - it's the same with music". Will.I.Am

"Love is friendship that has caught fire.  It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving.  It is loyalty through good and bad times.  It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses."  Ann Landers

Don't you just love that!  "Love is friendship that has caught fire.!"

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart". Helen Keller

Nothing is more magical than viewing life through the eyes of a child. The wonder and magic of it all. To be young or even young at heart gives you a positive perspective in life. You may have heard the term, 'when Life gives you Lemons, make Lemonade' . Meaning instead of being a sourpuss and griping about it, make lemonade and have a nice refreshing drink instead. Drink in the day and your surroundings and the amazing natural beauty of mother Earth.

It may be a crazy day, when you get caught off guard and not prepared for a storm. As adults we look at a snow day and start griping; look at a child and they are grinning from ear to ear as they can hardly wait to get out there and play. So take a snow day and start your day with a "positive glimmer" . You will be amazed.

Live on the Bright Side, even when it's snowing.

Knowing your calling in life, your passion, your purpose and especially your natural talent is truly your greatest fortune.  Only a handful of people realize their gift early on in life, for most of us it's a journey.  We are all born with a gift, whether it be music, mathematics, athletics or even words to name a few. That's where 'do what you love' stems from because it's what feels right.

"The greatest thing about tomorrow is, I will be better than I am today" Tiger Woods - an excellent example of someone who realized their gift early in life, sounds like wise words for us all, just like a Chinese Proverb, in time for the Lunar New Year.

"A nations treasures is in its scholars" being a scholar does not mean you are only learning an academic topic. A student can be described as a learner especially one enrolled in a school or college whereas a scholar denotes a learned person with profound knowledge of any specific subject.

Catch your inspiration by the tail just like Ruth Stone told Elizabeth Gilbert many years ago - and hold on with all your might!  

We are all born with a gift and you have one within you.

Chinese Proverb that holds true for all of us: "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand."

Explore the World, Dream of the Future and Discover your Inner Genius. Individuals are unique and there is no 'one size fits all' solution. There is one thing we all have in common though. When we are not challenged, we get bored. When we are feeling overwhelmed, we need to take a step back. In order to maintain our confidence we need to find the best balance in life that works for us. We need to discover what fits 'just right' to keep our compass calibrated to stay energized and excited about our Ambitions and Dreams. This is not a new idea but it's one we need to remind ourselves of on an on-going basis.

Especially when your dream is for freedom, equality and being kind to each other. Not even the Royal Family is immune to this!

" The time is always right, to do what is right" Martin Luther King Jr.

Get out in the world and explore all it has to offer. We are not robots and we do not belong in factories. We are unique individuals who each have their own talent.

Goal setting is an on-going project. Start the New Year with attainable #Goals and be sure to include your dreams too! Promise yourself you will write down one goal today. Goals need to be written on paper, in a journal, on a post-it note or even a Vision Board. The key to success is to write it down and hold yourself accountable. Encourage your entire family to set goals now and throughout the year.

"You can have more than you've got because you can become more than you are." Jim Rohn

You need tangible proof on what is important to you and how you are going to reach your goals.

"We become what we think about all day long." Hill

"We think in pictures, we take action in words." Diane Planidin

The holiday season is magical.  It gives us all a reason to act like a child again and have the belief that we are all born with.  Believe in yourself and remember that special feeling of anticipation.  Treat yourself to a little sugar and snuggle with your children.  Sleep in and give yourself permission to take time for your family and friends.

Sometimes it's difficult to put yourself out there, and sometimes you will be surprised about the smile you bring to complete strangers when you beam the spirit of the holidays.

"If you always try to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be." Maya Angelou

I truly wish you love and happiness this holiday season, wherever you are in the world.

Inspiration comes from within and what inspires one person will be different from others.  Look around you, inspiration is everywhere.  In Nature, in Family and most of all in Children.  What inspires you?  What gets you out of bed every morning that you're excited for?  What excites you and enlivens your spirit?  Most of all, when does that almighty SPARK get lit up?

Today I share inspiration in a few different ways along with a few quotes.  Inspiration is not reserved for artists who paint or draw, but is within all of us.  

"Every child is an artist.  The problem is how to remain an artists once he grows up." Picasso

What Picasso meant by that is you are never too young or too old to be inspired and bring joy to yourself and your surroundings and do what you love.

Einstein did and spoke on inspiration "I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination."  

Live life inspired and the day that turns your life around will be imminent.  

"Promise yourself you will never give up."  Jim Rohn

The inspirational spark for me: "The harder you try. The harder you fail.  The Better you will Become." Diane Planidin

The Power of Positive thinking and Determination are alive and well in the fable Hansel and Gretel.

Whether your baking Gingerbread to build a house or your putting together a Lego creation, a solid foundation is always in need.

We all have a super power within us.  Will power.  

"Strength is the outcome of Need" H.G. Wells

Be very deliberate on minding your words, and think hard on what NOT to say.

Share your knowledge and the fundamentals will remain tried and true.

Patience, reassurance, attention and time are so valuable.  Listen and hear what your child is trying to tell you.

Just let them be a child.

FOMO - Fear of Missing out, should not be a 'thing.'

Lego and Gingerbread have a lot in common.  Both have unlimited constructive potential, hands-on work and three dimensional thinking.

Believe in a future with all your heart

Ghandi:  Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts become your words.  Keep your words positive, because your words become your behaviour.  Keep your behaviour positive, because your behaviour becomes your habits.  Keep your habits positive, because your habits become your values.  Keep your values positive, because your values become your destiny.

Math is Magical and Learning is Fun.  It should also be entertaining and inspiring to all of us.

Take the stress out of test taking and timing and enjoy the magic of the only Universal language in the world.  It doesn't matter where in the world you live, math is communicated the same way.

"A lot of scientific evidence suggests that the difference between those who succeed and those who don't is not the brains they were born with, but their approach to life, the messages they receive about their potential, and the opportunities they have to learn" Jo Boaler

When it comes to math, you can have your Pi, and eat it too :)

Opportunities in learning, take the stress out of math and exam taking by realizing your natural talent.

"Mathematics is the cradle of all creations"

The bee is the most wondrous of species, creating hexagons to store their bounty.

"Let us realize and appreciate the beauty of the subject of math and embrace it with all our heart"

Pitch Perfect is a musical talent that only the lucky few are born with.  Think Mozart, Chopin and Beethoven.  Mariah Carey, Ella Fitzgerald and Michael Jackson.  Natural talent!

Music is so important to us all, for various reasons.  It defines culture, taste and yes even motivation.  I have my favourite jam to get me moving at the gym but I also have a favourite jam for chillin and entertaining.

I love this quote: "Please go for your dreams.  Whatever you Ideals, you can become whatever you want to become."  Michael Jackson

Since we are all originals, life's journey is to make those great discoveries.  When you do, practice on purpose.

Einstein loved the violin so much that he had 10 of them, each called 'Lina', what an interesting term of endearment.  He said playing a musical instrument helped him think and process scientific information.

Music takes many shapes, and the score from the World of Warcraft was a definite favourite.  Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed.

Handwriting on Paper is a Cognitive Super Power.

Reading a book made of Paper is so enjoyable.  You can feel the warmth of the paper and the progression of your adventure.

Post-it notes have become vital to Design Thinking which challenges assumptions and explores new ideas.

Joshua Foer discusses the art and science of remembering everything in his book, Moonwalking with Einstein.  The brain best remembers things that are repeated, rhythmic, rhyming, structured and above all else, easily visualized.

We think on Paper; it's how we learn.

"My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way." Earnest Hemingway.

Handwriting activates regions of the brain responsible for thinking, memory and language.  It also helps to develop and strengthen fine motor skills.

Scientists are discovering that learning cursive is an important tool for cognitive development, particularly in training the brain which develops functional specialization that integrates both sensation, movement control and thinking.

Cooking and Baking are perfect to teach your child FUNdamentals.

We created our own imaginary cooking show in our kitchen to inspire fun in the kitchen, all while learning the basic skills needed to cook. How cooking and enjoying the fruits of your labor is fun and rewarding.

Food always tastes better when it looks nice on a plate. Remember to garnish and add a splash of colour. Get creative and make your pancakes into shapes, or just pretend they are flying saucers. Once you've mastered the art of cooking with your children you will love doing bigger projects and making grocery shopping a great adventure.

Smell everything, and your senses will come to life, not to mention build a great memory. That's the Proust effect. For us, we now have cooking and baking traditions, something to look forward to, an experience that doesn't cost any more than the food you were going to eat anyways.

Change your Words. Change your World.

Children are sponges and they are amazing at not only understanding words and language at an early age, but also the context of those words.

Even 'Buddy the Elf' used ginormous words :)

Interesting article written based on a University of Chicago study, "The Early Catastrophe" on what a tremendous impact words have on children .

Eighty-six percent to 98 percent of the words recorded in each child's vocabulary consisted of words also recorded in their parents' vocabularies.

Use good descriptive words both verbally and written and your child's vocabulary will grow exponentially.

Interaction is the best form of action

You Got This!

If there are only three words you ever say to a child, I would recommend "You Got This"

A positive comment, which goes a long way in a child’s life.  Anything you say or do becomes a habit and a natural response.  That goes equally with a negative response. So when Nicholas was growing up I always minded my words.  And what really stuck with me was a very simple phrase “You got this!”

So what do you think will happen if you say to your child instead of “You got this” to “You better pass” “You better get an A” “You better make a goal in soccer” “You better win the game.”  Use your words wisely and keep them positive. Because as much as it’s easy to do, it’s also easy not to do. Words have amazing power with not only children but with teens and adults too. Children are amazing and they will use your words, your influence and your example to form their own persona.

I hadn’t realized until that day how much influence I had on my child.  By being empathetic, positive, patient and keeping a consistent message I had created a pathway for Nicholas.

Art Appreciation

The importance of Art and the impact it has on personal growth, not to mention it's a great outlet to just let go!

Blue Dogs by George Rodrique was our beginning. So striking and yet so simple.

“What I do know,” Rodrigue says, “is that Blue Dog, in some form or another, will remain a presence in the hearts of the people who have come to know her – and, I hope, in the hearts of all those who may join Blue Dog in her journeys yet to come”. So I took that to mean Blue Dog could take the form in the students imagination.

"Each one an original, each one a snowflake"

"The creativity was oozing out without even a thought to interrupt the process. It was absolutely spectacular."

Tom Brokaw says: “Any appreciation of art is a subjective experience. If it moves you, lingers after you’ve walked away, makes you laugh, or simply infuses you with a good feeling, it passes the test. Blue Dog does all that. And like the best of dogs, whatever their color, she asks nothing in return. Blue dog is a reminder that there are some things in life that we should just accept on their own terms and never take for granted.”

I loved the initiative of the students. They were truly blossoming with the “new way” Art Appreciation was taking form.

Chihuly had an exhibit called: The Nature of Glass.

Ansel Adams photography impacted the students who could decide if they wanted their photographs in the Gardens to be in Colour or in Black and White.

What was truly interesting was how unique each student captured the beauty of the desert. The beauty of the desert plants in concert with the reflection of the glass works. The glass works are works of art.

We are all born with a gift;

We are all born with purpose.

Life’s journey is to hone and develop that gift;

As purpose changes within.

Thank you Nicholas, my sweet son, for your awesome music composition for the show. And remember how art always makes you feel.

Talent Needs Attention

In this episode we discuss the importance of knowing your child's learning technique and how I supplemented my own child's learning by honing in on his strengths and weakness'. A few quotable quotes from today's show:

"Talent, needs (ed) unwavering attention, dedication and devotion."

"Time, energy and patience ... ensure ... the proper way to do things."

Einstein says, “Example isn’t another way to teach, it’s the only way to teach.”

"You are their leader, their coach, their mentor and their lab assistant. So pay attention, experiment, discover from your child which learning style works best for them."

"No one size fits all when it comes to learning."

"I put the words he had to learn, into his world. "

"We all learn in pictures"

"Ultimate achievement."

Together we will reach a global community on how to Nurture, Coach and Inspire the children we love, at any age, develop their Genius and to let it Flourish.

Nurture, Coach, Inspire

When it comes to school, you need to be involved. You need to be in the know and you need to be the backpack hound. When your children enter school age, your job is truly beginning. Yes those first 5 years are vital as you nurture your wee one. You have set the foundation, now the building blocks are ready to go on top. School teachers are just that, teachers. And it takes more than one to guide them through the next 12+ years.

Children do not lack capacity to learn but they do lack enough teachers.

To supplement my child’s education with my own knowledge and resources. Think of it as frosting on a cake, the final touch that pulls the creation together.

We were in a dream land at his school. In grade 1 the curriculum already integrated a second language to learn.

The first time I sat in a classroom of 35 kids in grade 2, was the first time I realized not all schools are created equal.

The Pygmalion Effect was a study done by Rosenthal and Jacobsen in the 60’s which shows that teacher expectations influence student performance. Positive expectations influence performance positively, and negative expectations influence performance negatively. Quite simple really. And it actually works.

So when Nicholas’ Grade 2 teacher told me that it didn’t matter that the students were at polar opposites because no child would be left behind, so don’t worry, don’t worry.

Gifted? What does that mean?

My instinct was dead on. But the insight needed work and needed some thought behind it in order to reach a successful outcome.

So get involved, volunteer, volunteer at school, speak up when you have concerns in a gracious manner but don’t take no for an answer until you have a viable solution. And do it often, it just may change your life as a result. The opportunities for your child are endless.

Today’s inspirational quote is from Einstein;

“Weakness of Attitude, Becomes Weakness of Character”

There's Magic in Sand

Even if it meant borrowing a tent that would fit all 7 of us as we drove 8 hours to warm waters edge all while hoping that the bears we fed along the way wouldn’t follow us.

There’s something magical about sand. It can be in your backyard, school yard, lake or by the ocean and it has no limitations on entertainment value. Add a little water and voila, you can shape it. Add a little seaweed and you can make a mermaid come to life with beautiful flowing hair. Add a few more people and all of a sudden you are making a ginormous turtle or magical castle with globby trees, all made out of sand. The really cool part is that our magical creations became a tradition. We could hardly wait to get to the beach and dig in.

Children are amazing and so awe inspiring. They drink in their surroundings and the wonder of nature. Exploring and discovering the world around them.

The secret to staying young is to have this perfect cover for acting like a kid again and no ones the wiser. An amazing thing happens to you and your imagination. Or at least all of these things did for me, it was reignited.

You will glow with pride not to mention all those excellent ‘selfie’ opportunities. You can take all the pictures you want at the beach and leave only footprints behind. We let our technology serve us and not let it invade our precious beach time. After all, the only surfing you should do at the beach is on the waves.

Hindsight is the ability to understand an event or situation only after its happened.

The ability to understand, to understand, I think that’s key. It’s only effective if you actually digest what you have learned and realize that hindsight can be very powerful for our future endeavours.  When my baby Genius was evolving, before he was even one year old, he showed strong development, which to be honest at the time, I didn’t realize. He never crawled.  Just went from the carrier one day to walking one day; or so it feels that way.   

My child is not an inconvenience.  Your child is not an inconvenience. No child is an inconvenience. Pay attention and they will amaze you.  Know that nurturing and caring for your child is always the right thing to do. Being a devoted parent is an admirable characteristic that children get inspired by. It means that you are dedicated to their well being, wholeheartedly. 

Together we will reach the global community, around the world, with a common interest in Nurturing, Coaching and Inspiring the children we love, at any age, to develop their Genius and to let it Flourish

Before my baby genius was even born. That’s when I first discovered my Intuition. I had no idea that super power was in me, is in all of us, and we just have to listen.

I was on an emotional roller coaster when I was pregnant. Mother’s intuition is your natural instinct to know whatever it takes. Be Resolute. Whatever it takes.

I raised a very gifted child and feel so fortunate I listened to my intuition that day. That I continue to listen to my intuition, my spidey senses. But I also listen to him and his needs.
