Are You Mad? Do You Know What to Do About It? -...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2024/01/12

Do you ever get white-hot mad about someone? You know the kind of mad I mean – that feeling of righteous indignation, of overwhelming anger over an injustice done to you? Yeah – I’ve never felt that way either. Not! It’s very human to react strongly to something that feels unjust, mean, and awful, and in our strong reactions, it feels to us like we’re doing something productive. It’s satisfying to our brains to take up arms against the indignity, crafting sharp words, practicing arguments

Getting Comfy About Feeling Uncomfortable - Wellbeing...

2024/01/11

Personal growth can be scary, and yet personal growth is necessary if you want to feel satisfied by your life. That sounds like a contradiction – it isn’t. Just as your physical body has grown and changed throughout your life, from infant to toddler to teen to what it is today, your mental body and spirit body has grown and changed, too. Every experience you have informs you about the world around you and the people inhabiting that world. With new information comes new insights and desires,

Do You Know the Neuroscience of Neatness? - Wellbeing...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2024/01/10

Do you ever wonder why so many experts in many different disciplines tell you to de-clutter your home and your office? Why are they so insistent, and why do they even care? Like a parent, I’m going to tell you – it’s for your own good. And it’s for my own good, too. The neuroscience of clutter and stress is well-documented: the brain likes order, and the brain needs to have fewer things to focus on, so the brain tends to trigger more stress response when faced with a cluttered

How Not to Distrust Your Intuition - Wellbeing Wisdom...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2024/01/09

Do you often get blindsided by people you think you know? For instance, a co-worker you’ve had a congenial relationship with suddenly treats you like you killed and ate their dog? This is so uncomfortable, and when it feels sudden, it can leave you with hurt feelings as well as a distrust of yourself and your instincts. Don’t distrust your instincts – learn to hear them. Maybe you, like me, were brought up to give people the benefit of the doubt. That’s a very nice way to be, and it works

Trick Your Brain Into Succeeding - Wellbeing Wisdom...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2024/01/08

Have you ever thought about something a lot and it happened just like you imagined it would? That’s not an accident and you can do it on purpose, just like elite athletes. The process is called “visualization” and has been in use among athletes for decades, and it’s based in neuroscience. As I’ve mentioned in other episodes, our brain literally can’t tell the difference between what’s really happening around us and what we imagine is happening around us. When you think about something you

Need to Learn to Stop Time? - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2024/01/07

Do you often feel pressed for time? Like there’s far too much to get done in one day by one person, and you’re constantly feeling a shortness of time? This Tiny Bite to the rescue! Albert Einstein is quoted as saying, “Time does not exist – we invented it. Time is what the clock says.” Humans invented time based on the repetitive apparent movement of the sun, planets, and stars. The breaking of the day into 24 hours, and hours into 60 minutes, was done in the distant past, beginning with

2024/01/06

Is there someone in your life that you pour into, trying to help them survive and thrive? Maybe it’s a child, maybe it’s an extended family member, or maybe it’s a friend or co-worker? There are times in every person’s life where they need the help of others, and it does feel good to help, doesn’t it? It feels good, right up until it doesn’t. Maybe you’ve gotten there with this person you’re thinking of? Or maybe you will get there, sooner or later. Some people like to let others take care

Need Something to Cheer About? - Wellbeing Wisdom...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2024/01/05

Two four six eight – who do you appreciate? No, this isn’t a pep rally…or maybe it is. Really think about who you appreciate and why you appreciate them. Give yourself a few minutes today and put these thoughts on paper. Think about family members, friends, business associates, barristas, the person who cuts your hair. Think about your 4th grade teacher, who made learning fun by infusing it with games. Think about the professor who gave you extra time and extra-credit projects until you

Quit Being Influenced by Influencers - Wellbeing...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2024/01/04

Do you know someone who marches to the beat of a drummer only they can hear? Maybe you know someone who isn’t afraid to express their individuality no matter what other people think. Or maybe, if you’re one of the very lucky ones, it’s you who’s comfortable enough in your own skin to live life your way and on your terms. Being different is the human condition – every single person is different from every single other person, no exceptions. Even identical twins aren’t identical in their

How to Make an Awful Job Bearable - Wellbeing Wisdom...

2024/01/03

Do you hate your job, but you stay because you feel you can’t make more money elsewhere? Or maybe you stay because you don’t want to abandon certain people you work with, or the mission you and your team are on. Yet you still hate your job – you get up in the morning dreading going to work, the stress building before you even walk in the door. Time to work on an exit strategy as you hone your stress-relieving skills. First, find a way to soften your bad feelings about being in a not-optimal

Dealing with Religious Strife - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny...

2024/01/02

Let’s talk religion today, and don’t worry – I’m not choosing sides or preaching. With all the good that religion has given to the world, it’s been the crux of much of the bad, too. Wars almost all have had as their basis religious wrangling. Humans are hard-wired to be tribal, to fear and distrust those different from “our” tribe, and to try to convert others to our way of thinking and believing. When you read the religious texts, it’s clear that all religions have beneficial tenets, and

Stop Spiraling and Start Thriving - Wellbeing Wisdom...

Is there something that feels big, feels scary, and feels outside of your control? Maybe it’s a war, maybe it’s a life-threatening diagnosis for someone you care about or for you, or maybe it’s that you feel uncertain if your job is secure. Give yourself 10 minutes today to write down what the big scary thing is, why it scares you – all the reasons you can think of, and what, if anything, you can do to tame the monster. If it’s not in your control, then it doesn't need to take up space

Do you remember the last 5 Olympic gold medalists in any sport? Can you name the last 5 Nobel Peace Prize winners? Can you name your state’s Senators, your Representative, and the mayor of the town you live in? Don’t worry – most people can’t. Do you remember a teacher who had a big impact on you? Can you name 3 friends who would help you if you needed them? Who are 5 people you love to spend time with? Bet you could answer those questions, couldn’t you? The people closest to you in

2023/12/30

Do you find yourself waiting for people who are late…a lot? Do you hate waiting for people who are late? This Tiny Bite should help you feel better, like it did me when I learned this info. On-time people often perceive late people as arrogant, or like they think their time is more valuable than anyone else’s. Pretty irritating, right? What if the person who’s habitually late actually has such a low opinion of themselves that they don’t think you’ll miss them if they don’t show up? What if,

How do You See the World? - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2023/12/29

“We don’t see the world as it is, we see the world as we are.” Anais Nin wrote that in 1961, before neuroscience research could back it up. Turns out, she was right. In 2015, social media exploded in a debate over whether a photo showed a black and blue dress or a gold and white dress. People thought it was a hoax – that everyone was seeing it the same way they were and lying about it for pure entertainment value. The truth is – everyone perceives the world differently and that was just a

8 Words that Stop Verbal Bullying - Wellbeing Wisdom...

2023/12/28

Let’s talk about verbal bullying. I heard two people in a cafe talking about the “right” way to take a shower, as if anyone who did it differently was a weirdo. I remember a girl in my high school gym class who said women who only shave their legs to just above the knee are freaks. What do those have in common? When spoken aloud and directed at another person, that’s verbal bullying. One of my aunts bullied Mom relentlessly about the way toilet paper was hung in our home. This may seem like

Disrespect, Apologies, and Stress - Wellbeing Wisdom...

2023/12/27

We’ve all had that one friend – you know the one. The one who is a good friend and sometimes feels the need to put you down. The one who makes plans and then changes them at the last minute because something else came up – something that didn’t include you. The one who occasionally shoots sharp painful barbs at you, saying “well, the truth hurts.” I hope, if you’ve had that friend, that they’re in your past now. If you currently have a friend like that, this next sentence might help you

Who's Right, Who's Wrong, and Who Cares? - Wellbeing...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2023/12/26

Can you let someone else love something you really don't love? Think before you answer – this is something that most of us struggle with. From childhood, being right was drilled into us. It’s the way learning works – “right” is good and “wrong” is not so good, so we’re incentivized to be right. That creates a pattern of thought in the brain that makes you certain that what you know is the way it is, and when you find someone who doesn’t agree, you feel the need to defend your position and

How to Use Your Brainstorming Power - Wellbeing...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2023/12/25

Have you ever been part of a true brainstorming session? Real brainstorming sessions are about positive ideas building on each other, with no “yeah but” allowed. I was working at a great Washington DC radio station when I was first exposed to brainstorming, and the person running the session had to remind me – more than once! – that we were looking for ideas, not the reasons ideas might not work. It was an eye-opening experience – we can actually focus just on the positives, not the

Are You Adulting or Are You Childing? - Wellbeing...

2023/12/24

Adulting. What a fun word adulting is. It’s a playful way of saying that the child inside you is a little bit tired of taking care of responsibilities and obligations. Yes, no matter how old you are, how many wrinkles and grey hairs you have, there is still that spark of innocent fun that you had as a child, and it’s that part of you that pushes back against all that adulting. Don’t get me wrong – adulting is important. It’s how the world progresses, it’s how you pay your bills and feed
