EP163: Minds Worry Aug 30, 2021

Show notes

All minds do the same things. The details and content may vary slightly, but the tricks a mind gets up to are universal. The next five episodes of Changeable will feature 5 of these things all minds do, based on five chapters in my upcoming book: minds worry, minds compare, minds problem solve, minds think

EP162: How to End the Drinking Habit Aug 23, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, I share some of the most helpful themes that came up in the 4-week overdrinking workshop I recently led. Questions like: Isn’t alcohol different from other habits because it is a drug that involves physical addiction? (If we were trying to manage experience, this would probably make a big difference. But we’re

EP160: How I Realized I Had Changed by the Example of my New Book Title, Which Was Hated Aug 09, 2021

Show notes

When I initially heard the title my publisher proposed for my upcoming book Just a Thought, I absolutely, positively hated it. I literally said (over and over) “there is no way that will be the title of my book”.And, well, things change. Within a couple months, I had a change of mind. Or a change

Show notes

Phillip has been alcohol-free, after a lifetime of drinking, for a year this summer. He quit smoking this year too, after having smoked since the age of 13. But the fact that he no longer smokes or drinks are just details. They are incredible details, don’t get me wrong, but when you know Phillip, you

EP158: Preoccupied Jul 26, 2021

Show notes

I recently heard something so simple. Everyone who is suffering is preoccupied. Preoccupation is the only problem there is. Some thought has occupied our focus such that we’re no longer sensing what’s there pre thought. The world we experience is a perfect reflection of what we’re preoccupied with. I think you’ll sense a whole new level of simplicity

EP156: How Generalizing is Keeping you Stuck in Habits and Anxiety Jul 12, 2021

Show notes

Brains generalize in order to make sense of the world in the most predictive, efficient way possible. And while there are a lot of necessary benefits of this, there are some drawbacks too. We lose some nuance and fluidity when we’re hanging out in a highly generalized view of things. Our experience tends to be

Me and Dr. Bob Solomon are major geeks for helping people be themselves again. From the time we’re babies, we’re taught how to be. Don’t cry. Be a good girl or a good boy. Say please. Be grateful. Do the right thing. This is the beginning of us being led away from what feels right to

EP154: Where’s the Habit in Anxiety? Jun 28, 2021

Show notes

I view anxiety as a habit. (To be fair, I view most things–including personality, identity, and moods–as habits too).People who struggle with anxiety ask me about this all the time. They say “I can see how nail biting or binge eating or drinking is a habit. But how is anxiety a habit?”“Where’s the habit in
