We’re getting toward the end of the year, and it’s a great opportunity to evaluate where we are and where we’d like to go. On today's episode, Dr. Rick and Forrest explore how we can step out of the way we've been, and into a new way of thinking, doing, and being. They talk about self-concept, unconscious beliefs, and how those beliefs affect our behavior. Forrest then shares a model of what this kind of change tends to look like practically, which usually includes relax our attachment to the things that are holding us back. Other topics include getting down to "the tip of the root," taking a step back from our narratives, challenging limiting beliefs, taking life less personally, working with discouragement, and finding motivation and drive. You can watch this episode on YouTube.Key Topics:0:00: Introduction1:30: Self-concept, how unconscious beliefs affect behavior, and freedom5:40: Appraisals and attributions9:35: The way we spin our self-narrative, and holding onto grievances14:25: Being honest with ourselves when we feel stuck19:30: Changing behavior before changing thinking25:15: Values and behaviors29:05: Underlying fears and practical confusion33:50: Taking your experiences less personally36:05: Finding the motivation to get our hands dirty41:30: Negativity bias and appreciative inquiry47:45: First steps when you’re feeling discouraged56:55: RecapSupport the Podcast: We're now on Patreon!
