On today’s Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I are talking about learning and growth mindset. Having a growth mindset means that we understand that our abilities can be developed, and that we can actually get smarter. Unlike a fixed mindset that keeps us stuck, believing that our level of intelligence and capability is set in stone from birth, and determines what we can or cannot do. More than anything, we want to keep learning and growing. Success doesn’t necessarily depend on how ‘intelligent’...

On this week's minisode, I'm talking about pronoia — the opposite of paranoia. When we're pronoid, we believe that life is working out for us, and that everything is happening for our greater good. And when we believe that life is working out for us, it's more likely that it actually will work out for us. Because we become what we believe. If you're rolling your eyes at the thought of this topic, give it a listen anyway. Because I share some pretty good reasons to wave goodbye to your inner...

On this week's minisode, I'm talking about journaling. Keeping a journal has become very trendy with the rise of the wellness movement, but are there actually benefits that make it a practice worth adding into our already busy lives? In my opinion, yes. I've been journaling (on and off) for a few years now, although I'm not very consistent, and the way I journal tends to change like the weather. So...how should we journal, when should we journal, and why should we journal? Press 'Play' to...

On today's minisode, I'm talking about what's in our control, and what isn't. Everybody knows that we can't change the weather. So why do we still let it affect our mood? For every ounce of energy we expend thinking and worrying about things that aren't up to us, we should instead use it on the things that are.  Support the Show.

On today’s Thursday Thoughts, Polly & I are talking about complaining. We all love a good moan, but there’s a difference between getting something off your chest, and constantly complaining. We all have a choice as to whether we want to be a ‘drain’ or a ‘radiator’; whether we set the thermostat in the room, or shift our state of being to the temperature of those around us. We also have a choice about who we allow access to us. Are we surrounding ourselves with people who lift us up, or...

On today's solo episode, I'm talking all about solitude. Solitude can often be conflated with loneliness, although they are two very different things; and this may be partly due to the fact that solitude carries a certain stigma in the same way that being single and childless does. The truth is that solitude can be glorious, nourishing and empowering; not to mention the research shows that time spent in solitude can make us feel less stressed, and allow us to feel more free to be our...

On today's minisode, I'm talking about the 'lost art' of listening.  How often are we thinking more about our response than what the person talking is actually saying?  How often are we waiting for a gap in the conversation so that we can vocalise whatever it is we're dying to express? We all deserve to be fully heard, but we also need to learn how to fully listen.  Support the Show.

On today's Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I talk about the importance of having an awareness of what we can — and can’t — control in our lives.
