The Power in the Impromptu - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2023/11/13

Isn’t it nice when a friend texts you or calls you out of the blue, just to say “hi”? You popped into their head, and they took a minute – ok, in some cases, 45 – to let you know they were thinking about you. How do you feel when that happens? Pretty good, right? Research on social interactions and how they affect both the giver and the receiver shows several interesting findings: The person thinking of initiating contact can feel significant anxiety, often second-guessing themselves out

How to Hear Your Intuition More - Wellbeing Wisdom...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2023/11/12

What is intuition? Turns out, scientists, psychologists, and researchers can’t quite agree on what it is, though they do agree that it’s pretty tough to measure or track. Most of us have had intuitive hits that we’ve felt, followed, and had positive outcomes result. Yet trying to make that happen “on demand” is tough – kind of like waiting for lightning to strike the same tree a second time in the same thunderstorm. Theoretically it could happen – it’s probably not going to though. Today,

Oops! Nobody Saw That! - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2023/11/11

Have you ever been walking down the street and tripped a little bit? After the momentary fear of falling, maybe you felt very self-conscious, and maybe you even blushed a little bit, wondering if anyone saw you trip. Caring about what others think is a human trait. We’re social creatures and have an innate desire to fit in, which can lead to caring too much about what others think about us. Using the stumble on the street as an example, most people would be a bit embarrassed, let it go, and

The Path to Self-Confidence - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny...

2023/11/10

Do you ever wish you were taller or prettier or whateverer? Welcome to the human race! I always wanted to be tall – 5’8” was my goal. Nowhere in my family tree did tall women appear, and yet I was sure I could be taller than the 5’4” I topped out at. For years, I felt inadequate and like a failure over not reaching my goal height. How idiotic is that? Wishful thinking can take an unhealthy turn when we focus on the failure to achieve the wish and feel somehow “less-than.” We are always

Teaching Your Brain to be Kinder to You - Wellbeing...

2023/11/09

Think about the times the voice inside your head said something nice about you. You might have to think hard about it – our brain’s negativity bias makes it dish up far more negative thoughts about us than positive ones. A National Science Foundation study found that nearly 80% of a person’s thoughts are negative and 95% of those are repetitive thoughts. What kinds of thoughts? (Specific co-worker) hates me. I have bad hair. I’ll never get this done in time. This will never work. Things

Stopping the Rain on Your Parade - Wellbeing Wisdom...

2023/11/08

Is there someone who always rains on your parade? There you are, having a perfectly good day, and then they have to point out something wrong with you, or with something you’re doing? It feels like they’re always poised and ready to take you down a few notches, right? Can you believe me when I tell you that behavior is more about them than it is about you? You’re shining your light on the world in your own unique way and they feel compelled to try to change or control you. Don’t let them,

How to Become Authentically Authentic - Wellbeing...

2023/11/07

We hear it a lot – be authentic. What does that mean, actually? When you are authentic, you aren’t apologizing or hiding part of who you know yourself to be. You’re not hiding behind a mask or contorting yourself for the approval of others. When you’re authentic, you allow your pain and your joy to show. People know that you’re human and you have experiences similar to their own. When you’re authentic, you walk your talk, doing as you say you’ll do. People know they can count on you and

Who Could Disagree With Love? - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny...

2023/11/06

Who could disagree with love? Turns out, almost everyone. For most people in most cases, love is a condition instead of a feeling. Examples include: rude person gender identification religion political leaning ethnicity When faced with those differences, many people choose to not love. Some may keep their disapproval to themselves, and some may use language and behavior as a way to distance themselves from the person they don’t approve of. The amygdala, the primitive part of our brain,

Are You Misunderstanding Misunderstandings? -...

2023/11/05

Do you lead a team? Then you probably have communication issues from time to time, and hopefully not all the time! Whenever two or more humans get together, there’s bound to be misunderstandings. An author can’t be a good editor of their own book because they know what they mean. Their sentences and metaphors make perfect sense to them and may not to their readers. If people came with an editor for their thoughts there wouldn’t be nearly as many misunderstandings. Joe says “it’s under

What Really Matters in Relationships - Wellbeing...

2023/11/04

Want to know how someone feels about you? Pay attention to their actions. They will show you if your feelings matter to them or not. They will show you if you’re a priority in their life or not. They will show you if your investment of time and emotion in them will pay off or crash and burn. Don’t listen to their words, sweet as they may sound. Most people believe what they’re saying to you as they say it, and sometimes can’t live up to the words. That doesn’t mean they’re a liar, it just

Quick…how negative are your thoughts right now? Think about what you were just mulling over in your mind – were they worrisome thoughts, stressful choices, or even fear about your future? According to the American Psychological Association, American adults report higher stress levels now than they did before the pandemic, with 62% of women between the ages of 18 and 34 saying that most days they feel completely overwhelmed by stress. There are a lot of things that contribute to that stress,

2023/11/02

Do you make space in your week for fun? You remember fun – it lived inside you when you were a child, seemed to become more of a neighbor when you moved out on your own, and the more responsibilities you shoulder, the farther away fun seems to be. Invite fun to come and play with you. Think about what you really enjoy doing – for some, it’s playing a sport, for some it’s going for a long run, for some it’s playing in the playground, with or even without children to play with. Fun is there

Why You Should Love Your Ego - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2023/11/01

Why do we vilify the concept of ego? We work to become self-aware, and yet many people use the word “ego” like it’s a bad thing. We work to become self-confident and then cringe when others call us egotistical because they can’t deal with our confidence. The dictionary describes ego as “a person’s sense of self-esteem or self-importance.” In psychoanalysis, ego is the part of the mind that is responsible for reality testing and the sense of personal identity. In metaphysics, ego is simply a

What is the Subconscious, Really? - Wellbeing Wisdom...

2023/10/31

We think there are thoughts we’re not aware of driving our actions and that’s sort of right and sort of wrong.What we really have going on inside our noggins is the brain running patterns, and because we don’t have to think about them, it feels like unconscious thoughts to us. The patterns our brains know how to run are varied and wonderful, and we started learning them the moment we were born. When babies are hungry, they cry and get fed. Their brains learn that crying produces food and

Are You Chasing It or Choosing It? - Wellbeing Wisdom...

One of my dogs has decided that the chipmunks living under the sun porch are more interesting than coming inside the house. I discovered this the hard way one night when I was ready to go to bed and put the dogs out for their last potty of the night. Three hours later she finally decided that coming inside might be more fun than trying to catch the uncatchable. During that three-hour detour from sleep, I vacillated from irritated to angry to whiny to desperate, and cycled through those

Seeing the World Through the Eyes of Your Heart -...

2023/10/29

When was the last time you watched a child playing with nothing more than a few little things and their imagination? They didn’t know anyone was watching so they weren’t performing or trying to do something right, they were just there, in the moment, delighted with whatever they were imagining. Could you see their heart shining? Could you feel their intense concentration, or maybe their vivid imagination, or their pure joy? Children haven’t had their love for the world trained out of them

If you’re in a low period in your life, no matter what the reason, it can feel like your soul is being sucked right out of your body, or like you’re being held down with a huge boulder. The feeling of being exhausted is real, and it can be very easy to just crawl under the covers and hide from the world. If you ever feel like that, remember this one tool that can help you feel better in just a few minutes: go outside. If you’re a runner, skip the treadmill at the gym and go for a run

The One Personality Type You Should Never Believe -...

Have you ever been around a narcissist? It’s exhausting – they have an unrealistic sense of their own wonderfulness, and believe others should pay special attention to them and do special things for them. They believe their position on everything is right, and if you disagree, then you’re the problem and you are wrong. Your negative reactions are personal attacks on them, and some days it feels like they’d argue with you if you told them it was light in the daytime and dark at

Do you know someone who complains a lot? It doesn’t matter what they complain about – they just seem to have a complaint about almost everything? People like that can be very hard to be around, yet sometimes you don’t really have a choice. Maybe you work with them, maybe you live with them, or maybe they’re a friend or relative you see from time to time.

Quit Proving Your Worthiness - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny...

2023/10/25

Do you work or live with someone who always seems to want to prove their worthiness? Here’s what that might sound like: “I’ve taken care of the slide deck so you don’t need to worry about it.” “Sure I’ll stay late again tonight.” “Do you think this dress makes my butt look big?” While statements like these made occasionally are normal, if you live or work with – or maybe are – someone who says things like this a lot, it could be a sign of low self-esteem. People who do far more than their
