    Podcast Summary

    • Rethinking Our Relationship with TimePrioritizing and making mindful choices about how we spend our time can lead to a happier, more fulfilling life, according to UCLA researcher Cassie Mogilner Holmes. Having all the time in the world isn't the answer - it's about spending it deliberately and in ways that align with our values.

      The pressures of a fast-paced life can leave many feeling burned out and overwhelmed. However, rethinking our relationship with time can lead to spending it more deliberately and in ways that align with our values and make us happier. UCLA researcher Cassie Mogilner Holmes studies the effects of time on wellbeing. She has found that having all the time in the world does not necessarily lead to greater happiness. Instead, it is important to prioritize and make mindful choices about how we spend our time. Taking a step back to assess our relationship with time can help us live happier and more fulfilling lives.

    • The Negative Effects of Too Much Discretionary Time on Productivity and PurposeWhen we have too much free time, we can become unproductive and feel a lack of purpose, which can lead to dissatisfaction and poor cognitive function. Working provides engagement and fulfillment in life.

      Having too much discretionary time can lead to feelings of unproductivity and a lack of purpose, leading to dissatisfaction and decreased cognitive function. Work provides engagement and productivity, and without it, we may feel unfulfilled.

    • The Power of Time Tracking: How to Reduce Stress and Increase HappinessBy tracking our time and prioritizing activities that bring us joy and fulfillment, we can take more control over our lives and reduce stress. Mindfulness and data analysis are essential tools for creating a purposeful life.

      Psychologist Cassie Holmes has found that people often underestimate how much control they have over making their lives less busy and stressful. By tracking her own time and closely analyzing how she spends it, she discovered that the problem was not a lack of time, but the way she was thinking about time and her priorities. Time tracking involves writing down activities and rating them on a happiness scale to identify what brings joy and what doesn't. This data can help individuals prioritize activities that produce the greatest amount of happiness and enhance overall satisfaction. The key takeaway is that being mindful of our thoughts about time and using data to guide our choices can help us create a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

    • The Value of Time Tracking for Happiness and FulfillmentBy tracking time, one can optimize their allocation of essential, enjoyable, and non-essential activities, leading to greater satisfaction and reduced stress. Mindless scrolling and time-wasting activities should be minimized to make time for what truly matters.

      Through time tracking, individuals can understand and optimize their allocation of time between essential, enjoyable, and non-essential activities. Allowing intrusions from non-essential activities jeopardizes time set aside for relaxation and rejuvenation, leading to reduced levels of happiness. Also, mindlessly scrolling and spending significant amounts of time on non-essential activities such as social media can result in time-deprived situations where individuals feel too busy to engage in activities that truly matter to them. Therefore, time tracking enables people to invest their time in activities that promote happiness and fulfillment while reducing those that do not.

    • The Importance of Being Mindful of TimeBeing mindful of how we use our time helps avoid stress and distraction. Feeling time-scarce reduces our willingness to help others. Prioritize what's important and avoid the trap of time scarcity.

      Being mindful about how we spend our time can help us avoid distractions and have more moments of joy. The less mindful we are, the more stressed and over-scheduled we feel, which can affect our personal happiness and behavior toward others. Studies have shown that feeling time-scarce makes us less likely to help others, even among the kindest individuals like college students and seminary students. Simply thinking about how busy we are can also make us less willing to help others. It's important to recognize where we can reallocate our time to prioritize what's important and avoid falling into the trap of time scarcity.

    • How to Overcome the Yes-Damn Effect and Optimize Your Time for HappinessPrioritize tasks based on purpose and values, reframe your relationship with time, and optimize it for your own happiness. Don't fall into the trap of saying yes to everything and feeling overwhelmed.

      Often, we fall prey to the Yes-Damn Effect, presuming that we will have more time in the future than we do now. As a result, we agree to commitments that we cannot fulfill, leading to stress and burnout. It's important to prioritize tasks using a purpose filter, considering if we would do them today and if they align with our values. Moreover, we need to recalibrate our relationship with time and stop thinking of it as a limited resource, but rather as a tool to achieve our goals. Instead of always striving to have more time, we must learn to use our time wisely and optimize it for our own happiness.

    • How Mindfulness Can Turn Your Dull Weekend into a VacationPaying attention to the present moment can help you appreciate the joys in your daily routine and prevent hedonic adaptation. Practicing mindfulness can lead to greater happiness and satisfaction in life.

      Treating weekends like vacations and being fully engaged in activities by being mindful and present in the moment can increase happiness and satisfaction in life. Hedonic adaptation, or getting used to routine, causes us to not notice joys in our daily lives. Being a tourist in our own lives by paying attention to what's around us can help us break this adaptation. Mindfulness can be applied to other aspects of life, such as time and money, to improve our relationships with them and ultimately increase happiness.

    • Perspectives on Time and Money and Its Implications on Our LivesPrioritize experiences that align with our values to lead a happier life. Use tools like writing our own eulogies and doing the 'times left exercise' to become more aware of our limited time and cherish joyful moments.

      Thinking about time versus money can influence how we plan and spend our time. When people are in a time-focused mindset, they tend to engage in happier activities and social connections. On the other hand, a money-focused mindset leads people to plan to spend more time working. Being intentional and thoughtful about how we spend our time can align our values and make us feel happier. Writing our own eulogies can help us clarify our values and prioritize our time accordingly. The 'times left exercise' is also an effective tool to count and cherish the joyful moments in life. By becoming aware of our limited time, we can make the most of it and focus on experiences that truly matter.

    • The Value of Time: How Moments of Transcendence Can Expand Our Worldview.Recognize the value of time and seek out moments of transcendence to expand our perspective and sense of self-efficacy. Appreciate the value of our moments and make time for what matters to us.

      Recognizing the preciousness of time before it's passed us by is crucial to avoid regrets. Seeking out moments of transcendence, such as exercise, can help expand our perspective and sense of self-efficacy, making us more productive and generous with our time. When we feel time-poor, we withdraw, limiting ourselves and our potential, but with awe-inspiring experiences, our world and sense of time expand. It's essential to appreciate the value of our moments and make time for what matters to us, not just what we think we should do.

    • Broadening Our Perspective on TimeFocus on what truly matters and engage in meaningful activities, even in small increments. Beat distraction to expand our time. Creating special traditions with loved ones can have a profound impact on happiness and satisfaction.

      When we step back and look at time from a broader perspective, it opens up the possibilities of what we can do with our time. It helps us think about what we truly value in life and spend more time on things that are important rather than just urgent. It's not about how much time we spend, but how engaged we are during that time. Creating special traditions or routines with loved ones, even if it's just 30 minutes a week, can have a profound impact on our happiness and overall satisfaction with life. By beating distraction, we can expand our time and focus on what matters most.

    You 2.0: How To Say No

    Saying no to someone who asks for something is often easier said than done. Maybe it's a boss who wants you to take on a new assignment. Or your kid's teacher, seeking volunteers for a field trip. Or a friend who asks you to lend her money. How should we respond to these demands on our time, energy, and resources? This week, psychologist Vanessa Patrick explores why it's so hard to say no, and how we can set boundaries that will make it easier to do so.

    Whether in your personal life or at work, you've probably experienced what it’s like to have people reject your requests. To be told that what you want is unfair, or heavy-handed. And you've likely been in the opposite position as well — pushing back against requests that step on your freedom. This week, we talk to psychologist Benjamin Rosenberg about how we respond to infringements on our sense of autonomy, and how we can avoid sparking this resistance in our interactions with other people.

    The Cure for Self-Importance

    When we meet new people, we’re often drawn to those with a commanding presence or a dazzling personality. But it turns out that a very different trait — humility — is important in the long term.

    Where Truth Lies

    When we think about misinformation, we often focus on blatant errors or deliberate attempts to deceive us. But in recent years, social scientists have found that misinformation comes in many flavors — many of which are far more subtle than obvious falsehoods. These forms of misinformation prey on our mental blindspots, and take advantage of our passions and loyalties. This week, economist Alex Edmans explores the many insidious forms of misinformation, and how we can all get better at separating fact from fiction.

    Changing Our Mental Maps

    Changing Our Mental Maps

    As we move through the world, It's easy to imagine we're processing everything that happens around us and then deciding how to respond. But psychologist and neuroscientist Norman Farb says our brains actually navigate the world by coming up with mental maps. These maps act like an autopilot system, allowing us to navigate our lives more efficiently. But sometimes, they can lead us astray, leaving us stuck on a path of negativity and unhappiness. This week, we talk with Norman Farb about how we can update our internal maps and see the world more clearly.

    960 The Voice of Truth

    960 The Voice of Truth

    In your life, where does the voice of truth come from? Whose whispers gain your greatest attention?

    Maybe it's the constant failures and short-comings.

    Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACThttp://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact

    Maybe it's the faults of your past. 

    Maybe it's your own belief that you're never good enough.

    Why is it that we hang out with our stumbles and failures questioning our worth?

    Never once did God hesitate when He created you; fearfully and wonderfully made, knowing every hair on your head.

    Yet where is the voice of truth?

    Is it the naysayers, the badgers, the mockers? Is that where your voice of truth is being solidified and defined?

    I want you to really think about whom you are putting your trust in.

    The K.I.S.S. ~ The Voice of Truth!

    REFLECTION: Today, I want you to reflect on these three questions.

    1. Where is the voice of truth coming from?
    2. What is the voice of truth telling you?
    3. How are you using the voice of truth in your life?

    If you are hearing God, the only voice of truth, then you know you are loved, given a gift of salvation, and grace for your life's journey.

    That's the voice of truth you need to be listening to.

    Not the negative CRAP, the doubts and drama of others, and not the daily sagas of self-centered mindsets. 

    It's all about control, earthly control. What happened to Heavenly control?

    Let God wash away the torment of lies that threaten your greatness He's creating within you.

    Let it go! Let God have it all!

    Give Him your heart.
    Dedicate your life to glorify Him.
    Rejoice with the voice of truth.

    As you go out this week...

    "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!"

    May God bless you this week in all your steps, in all your endeavors. Seek His guidance. Praise His name. The voice of truth!

    772 One Word that Limits Your Success

    772 One Word that Limits Your Success

    There's one word that limits your success and you don't realize how much you say it.

    Words have power. And when spoken by you, the power is magnified.

    Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact 

    "Wise speech is rarer and more valuable than gold and rubies." ~ Proverbs 20:15 

    What word are you using that is crushing you daily?

    "Gentle words bring life and health; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit." ~ Proverbs 15:4

    So let's play a game! How many times do I say this word or a variety thereof?

    Could this one word be limiting your success?

    "Kind words are like honey - sweet to the soul and healthy for the body." ~ Proverbs 16:24

    But if they're not kind, then they cut you to the core. Slowly over time, you are limiting your success.

    In a study done by Oxford Online, whose associated with the Oxford English Dictionary, they found the most 100 common English words used in writing around the world. (And there's over 2 billion words!)

    841 Step Out Into Faith

    841 Step Out Into Faith

    Did you know you are called to step out in faith? And faith not given by your own doings.

    God sets boundaries to not only keep us safe, but to keep us focused and directed where He desires us to go.

    Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact

    "God is an indescribable and incredible planner."

    And in that, you are called to step out in faith.

    When you step out in faith, it can bring about jolts of overwhelm and fear, because you may not know the reasoning behind His direction.

    As you learn and lean on God, that causes you to become more vulnerable with Him. You grow in your intimacy with God. Which in turn, increases the level of trust.

    It's a two-way street with God. He will guide you and protect you; provide and love you. All He asks is that you step out in faith.

    "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths." ~ Proverbs 3:5-6

    Think about all you are trying to accomplish in your life.

    You can't do it all alone.

    So the question is, in what you are wanting to do in your life, are you leaning on God?

    Are you listening to where He is guiding you?

    The K.I.S.S. ~ Step Out in Faith!!

    Because if you are, there will be times you don't logically understand what's happening and you will have to step out in faith.

    835 How to Silence the Negative Thoughts

    835 How to Silence the Negative Thoughts

    Nothing is more creepy than those negative thoughts lurking in your mind. At every turn, you get burned. Learn how to silence the negative thoughts and be rescued from yourself.

    Oh yes!! Because there is a BIG surprise.

    Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact

    Did you realize that 5% of your thoughts come from your conscious mind. That leaves 95% for the subconscious mind. There is the unconscious mind, but we will leave that for another day.

    You have 50,000 - 70,000 thoughts per day. That's 38-49 thoughts per minute. 

    "Happiness is only a thought away."

    How many thoughts have you thought since the beginning of this episode?

    Confusing? YES! And mind-blowing!!!

    According to an article in Psychology today, a group of business students demonstrated that of their subconscious thoughts, 70-80% were of a negative tone. This is the "never", "can't", "shouldn't" phrases.

    Yet of their thoughts, they thought they were thinking 60% positive.

    That's the power of your thoughts and the subconscious being able to override even your perceived thoughts (from your conscious mind).

    Ready to learn how to silence the negative thoughts?

    The K.I.S.S. ~ W.A.C.-A-Thought!

    Know your thoughts to change your thoughts!

    1. WRITE your thoughts - Take inventory of what you are thinking. Know what you are thinking.
      • Day One - thoughts
      • Day Two - thoughts and situation
      • Day Three - thoughts, situation, and reaction
    2. ASSESS your thoughts
      • Negative vs. Positive
      • Triggers
      • Patterns
    3. CREATE your thoughts - Create the thought that impacts you.
