    Show notes

    This week’s episode of the Growth Guide Podcast features John G. Miller. John is an author and a keynote speaker. Over ten years, while engaged in the sale and organization of training programs for CEOs and managers, he came to realize the significant demand for personal accountability. In 1995, he decided to transition into a keynote speaker role, naming his presentations "Personal Accountability and the QBQ!" He joined us today to talk about his book: QBQ! The Question Behind the Question: Practicing Personal Accountability at Work and in Life.

    John discusses how victim thinking can hold us back from achieving our goals and offers practical strategies to break free from this mindset. We explore the importance of taking personal responsibility, making better choices, and asking helpful questions.

    Join us as we uncover the secrets to eliminating blame, embracing accountability, and fostering a positive and growth-oriented mindset. Stay tuned for an inspiring conversation that will empower you to take charge of your life and create a path towards personal fulfillment.

    Managing Mind Chatter with Mitchell Greene Nov 21, 2023
    Show notes

    In today’s conversation, we are joined by Mitchell Greene, a licensed clinical and sport psychologist, and owner of Greenepsych Clinical & Sport Psychology, a boutique private practice located in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Dr. Greene works primarily with athletes pursuing high performance goals, or coaches and athletic departments looking to educate their student-athletes on mental health and/or performance enhancement strategies.

    Mitchell joined us today to talk about his book, ‘Courage over Confidence: Managing Mind Chatter and Winning the Mental Game.’

    Mind chatter is when we have conversations with ourselves that are full of doubt, second-guessing, and negative thinking. It typically shows up when the uncertainty and the stakes feel enormous. For athletes, it can occur in a big tournament. The first step in recovering from mind chatter is to expect it to show up. Understanding the context in which it shows up is important because that means you're aware it’s completely normal and you can control it.

    Get ready to explore the concept of "chatter" and how to handle it, as Mitchell shares insights from their book and provides practical tips for athletes, coaches, and anyone facing high-stakes situations.

    [05.40] Mind chatter – Mind chatter is the negative, doubtful thinking or conversations we have with ourselves.

    [13.14] Fear - Fear may have been the way you presented yourself to the world when you were a child, but it doesn't have to define who you are now.

    [20.02] Falling behind – Mitchell explains why the obsession with doing everything for the fear of falling behind is unhealthy.

    [25.22] Social media – The impact social media has on athletes, in Mitchell’s opinion.

    [34.33] Thoughts – We are constantly having positive and negative thoughts about us. But we have to remember that we are so much bigger than those thoughts.

    [40.01] Monkey mind – We talk about the importance of learning to deal with the feeling of lacking control of one’s thoughts.

    [44.04] Results and action – Mitchell explains the difference between a results-oriented goal and an action goal.

    [48.50] Courage over confidence - One's ability to exhibit courage may be compromised when confronted with feelings of doubt and fear, which create favorable conditions for the manifestation of acts of bravery.

Mike is an organizational psychologist, behavioral scientist, and charter member of the International Positive Psychology Association. He has been academically published in publications like the International Journal of Workplace Health Management. His ideas about fun and health have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Fast Company, Psychology Today, Forbes, Vox, Thrive Global, Mindful, mindbodygreen, and more. He joined us today to talk about his best-selling book, ‘The Fun Habit: How the Pursuit of Joy and Wonder Can Change Your Life.’

    In this episode, Mike dives into the topic of finding joy and fulfillment in life by breaking free from the constant busyness trap. We discuss how the pandemic has allowed many of us to reflect on our goals and priorities, challenging the notion of a meritocracy and redefining what success truly means.

    Mike shares insights into the impact of social media on self-perception, the importance of setting achievable goals, and the significance of autonomy over our time. Tune into this episode to explore strategies for creating balance, embracing fun, and curating meaningful memories to live a more fulfilling and joyful life.

    [06.54] Social behaviors – Social behavior is a complex concept because, when it comes to times like COVID-19, people have difficulty coping without their rhythms and routines.

    [12.43] Different approaches – When you are trapped in a certain way, you have to try an approach that you are comfortable with, not what other people are comfortable with.

    [44.00] The trick – Mike explains how anything that will alleviate boredom, traumatic pain, or discomfort could sometimes trick us into thinking we are enjoying it.

    [50.00] Time - If you don't have any autonomy over how you spend your time, it creates the problem of feeling trapped.

    [01.00.48] SAVOR system – Story editing, activity bundling, variable hedonics, options, and reminiscing.

    [01.07.47] Reminiscing – We talk about the importance of remembering pleasant things we’ve had in the past.

    [01.18.50] Choose Your Own Adventure – When you’ve reached the foundation of what makes you happy, you don’t need to fill your time with unnecessary goals.
