This episode of the Hidden Brain podcast is worth a listen. It features psychologist Ethan Kross talking about the inner critic - that voice in our heads that seeds doubt, shame and rumination. At RealityCheck Consulting, we've researched the inner critic for our clients for years. We've learned that brands that really care about their customers can help them manage the tensions and need states caused by the inner critic. Our amazing team of psychologists (Hollen Reischer, Tara P. McCoy, PhD, Jonathan Adler, Ariana Turner, PhD) are masters at revealing unmet consumer needs and tensions. So give it a listen and contact us if you'd like to learn more about how your brand can help your customers manage their inner critic. https://lnkd.in/gZJ_-mhD

Befriending Your Inner Voice In working with my clients, a consistent theme is how to manage the inner voices that can be critical or shaming. I enjoyed this podcast from Hidden Brain which talks about "Befriending Your Inner Voice". It has practical tips including: being your own coach by changing to 3rd person language, distancing techniques to turn down the intensity by visualizing your personal experience more as more of an observer, using mental time travel to gain some perspective, relabeling situations from a threat to a challenge, and practicing rituals to focus on what you can actively control. Check it out and let me know what you think. https://lnkd.in/g58RUJ76

For anyone with access to BBC Sounds. I would thoroughly recommend listening to the 'Seven Deadly Psychologies' podcast series. A fascinating, humorous, and compelling exploration of the psychology behind each of the seven deadly sins. Why we have evolved these emotions? What’s going on in the brain and the body when we feel them? And how best can we live alongside them - in ourselves and with others? https://lnkd.in/eXZZE_rN #BBC #SevenDeadlyPsychologies #podcast

"One of the mysteries of human behavior is that it’s often easier to focus on what’s going wrong than on what’s good in our lives. Why is that? Psychologist Thomas Gilovich studies the barriers that prevent us from feeling gratitude, and how we can overcome them."

One of my all time favorite podcasts, Hidden Brain, has a fabulous episode this week - The Enemies of Gratitude. Gratitude really can be lifechanging. When I started making a real purposeful effort to express the gratitude that I was feeling it made a significant difference in both my personal and professional life and relationships. Feeling gratitude is one thing, but expressing it and sharing with others is something else, and it pays you forward in all kinds of ways. It's like a secret path to real happiness that is not always talked about... https://lnkd.in/enB9us3V So, LinkedIn Friends, if that intrigues you check out the episode from NPR #learningisfun #leadership #hiddenbrain

I REGULARLY preach the attitude of "Don't worry what other people think". I preach it on my podcast, I preach it when I network, with friends, and to my children. It is SO critically important to be able to separate yourself from the opinion of others. And today I ran across an article that does a good job of explaining the whys and some of the hows to just that. It's a quick and easy read. Let me know what you think:

Refusing to apologize can have lasting effects on the person who should have made the apology. Is it you? Probably. I know I some times struggle with apologizing in the “heat of the moment of conflict.” But, I work on making my apology later authentic and perhaps, more than once. This is a great podcast about apologizing. https://lnkd.in/eJx_2FvQ
