We all have implicit memories. These are memories that we don't know we have, but they can be very powerful in shaping our behavior and decision-making.

For example, if you've ever gone to a restaurant with friends and had a great time, your implicit memory might help you choose to go back there again.

Or if you've ever been hiking on a trail and seen a bear, that implicit memory will be connected to fear of bears so that you'll avoid them in the future.

In fact, it's believed that up to 90% of what we do is based on these implicit memories!

It's incredible to consider, isn't it?

And while I'm sure you've had experiences in which you felt like something made you do something or think something, it's impossible to really know how many of the things we do are based on these implicit memories.

How can this be helpful to those who have experienced a traumatic event?

How might learning about implicit memory change their lives for the better?

Trauma, implicit memories, and the complex connections between them are fascinating topic.

But what if we had the power to change these implicit memories? What if we could create different memories that would be associated with the same stimuli, and would make us feel very differently about them?

And though we can't control what triggers our implicit memories, there are some things we can do to help ensure that our memories don't get the best of us.

1️⃣ Unearthing Subconscious Scripts: Our minds often hold inaccurate reflections of our inner truths, burying the truth of ourselves and others. By challenging and unearthing these narratives, we can free ourselves from constraints and embrace our true essence.

2️⃣ The Power of Suggestibility: Suggestibility, a psychological phenomenon, influences our perceptions and perspectives. It shapes how we view, filter, and process information. Understanding suggestibility allows us to find commonality and connection with others, fostering more authentic relationships.

3️⃣ Embracing Emotional Intelligence: Learning to feel and process our emotions is essential for personal growth and transformation. By recognizing and understanding our emotional responses, we can navigate relationships and situations with greater self-awareness and empathy.

Join us this for our season-ending episode of The Light Inside as we embark on this exploration together, rewriting the scripts that no longer serve us and fostering a richer, more authentic tapestry of human connection.

Let's challenge the narratives that hold us back and create more authentic connections in our personal and professional lives.

Overwhelm.

Throughout our daily lives, we often find ourselves surrounded by it. And sometimes, nothing is more overwhelming, than the stories we regularly tell ourselves.

Yet still…our stories matter - But how and why?

Overwhelm is all around us in modern culture

Perpetuated in the media, throughout our social interactions, and even within the tactile and sensory stimuli prevalent throughout our environments.

Our autonoetic, self-aware consciousness has empowered us with the ability for abstract, future thinking, and past-aware reflection– serving both as a benefit and a liability. As a developmental and evolutionary trait of the human species - for many of us…

This is traumatic!

Yet it is this autonoetic cognitive ability that has allowed us to rule the world. As perhaps our greatest strength, abstract thinking has a serious weakness – we frequently get caught in cognitive story-telling loops -

Both about ourselves; and others - that come to feel like truth.

Today, we look at the role cognitive fusion plays in shaping the stories we weave and how this impacts our relationship both for the better and worse.

Our stories. They haunt us in the deeper, darker recesses of our minds, much like ghosts.

Deeper still, their energy ingratiates our inner worlds. At times shaping who and what we believe we are.

Or all that we feel we might ever be. Believing they define us, we blindly follow their lead.�
Nevertheless, who or what spins these tireless tales? Who I am. What I am.

Does an I even exist?The familiar, and not so familiar, intertwined. Are we conscious creators, or might there be deeper factors at play?

We may think that we are acting rationally and freely, but in reality, we often follow the programs and scripts of the subconscious mind. Today, we look at how our subconscious scripts influence every thought, emotional, feeling, action and interaction — throughout our lives

And how understand the complex interplay of these narratives allows us to become the conscious creators of these scenarios.

Explore the power of cognitive reappraisal and reframing your subconscious scripts. Join us on The Light Inside podcast for an insightful conversation on transforming your mindset.

Hey there, fellow adventurers on the bumpy road of life! Today, we're diving headfirst into the stormy seas of anticipatory anxiety. Yep, that's right, that delightful knot-in-the-stomach feeling we get when we’re about to make a big decision or set a new goal. But don't worry; we've got each others backs!

I'll confess something: I'm the queen of second-guessing, and this translates to our ability to simply question, like a two year old on a field trip in the forested woods, seeing the world for the first time….you know the one - curiously asking, why, why, WHY….

Why is the sky blue? Why do clouds float? Why do catapillars turn into butterflies? Our answers start with way.

Seriously, if questioning and second-guessing was an Olympic sport, I'd be a gold medalist. But hey, we're all in this together, right? So, grab a cup of tea, or coffee, or a chocolate milkshake (because why not?), and let's talk about how to tame that anxiety monster while we navigate our way to brighter horizons.

In this episode, Jeffrey Besecker and Kathy Hadizadeh delve into the concept of action bias, heuristics, and their effect on decision-making.

In the end, decision-making and goal-setting are NOT about avoiding anxiety – it's about dancing with it. So, let's waltz with the imperfections, twirl with the fears, and cha-cha with anything that can be conceived. Together, we make this journey extraordinary.

So remember, things can get a little ‘iffy’ and if forms a complete question that opens us up to new answers and solutions. There will be times, when we feel ACTION is the next best step, and also times when INACTION is our best friend, as we ponder the next MEANINGFUL step….

Meanwhile, you can take a tip from our wise friend, Kathy Hadizadeh

Humor.

At times, it’s a balm for the soul. Serving as a life raft in difficult situations or lightening the load during troubled times.

Or, it could just be a way to procrastinate from doing actual work!

Humor is like seasoning for the soul. It's so powerful that even a bad joke can make you smile—just like a pinch of salt and a lobotomy can turn your mom’s cooking into a gourmet meal!

Life without humor is like a turd sandwich without the funny bone – it's just a little dull and lacks that extra zing!

A spark that creates mutual bonds and breaks down barriers.

Yet at times, there are also darker shades of humor. Those that create derision and contempt—as a subtle jab becomes an unkind jib, filled with misintent.

Today we look at humor—how it binds us together and, at times, pulls us miles apart.

Here are three key takeaways from this enlightening conversation:

1️⃣ Embrace Your Unique Perspective: Our guest emphasized the importance of staying true to yourself in comedy. Whether you're just starting out or a seasoned act, it's crucial to share your own take on the world.

By identifying surprising and irritating aspects of our culture, you'll find that you're not alone. This connection with your audience not only makes your jokes work, but it also builds a subconscious bond that can be incredibly helpful.

2️⃣ Open Mic Comedy: A Terrifying, Yet Rewarding Experience: Our guest, who runs numerous open mic shows, encouraged everyone to give it a try. Open-mic comedy provides a platform for anyone to step onto the stage and share their humor.

It may seem terrifying at first, but it's a fantastic opportunity to push yourself and write some comedy. And hey, if you're feeling unsure, our guest even mentioned online courses that can help you along the way!

3️⃣ Humor as a Guiding Light: Life is a beautiful chaos filled with comedy, tragedy, and magic. Our guest reminded us that humor is our guiding light, capable of filling our hearts with laughter and brightening even the darkest night.

Embracing life's challenges and cherishing its blessings allows us to create the magic that is life. So let's laugh, cry, and share this meaningful message with our loved ones.

If you found these takeaways intriguing, I highly encourage you to listen to the full episode on The Light Inside podcast. You won't want to miss this captivating blend of comedy, tragedy, and magic!

“Tune in to discover how holding on to what we love often requires letting go. “

Healthy social attachment serves as an essential element of our mental, physical, social and spiritual journey.

We all desire, want, and need to feel a greater sense of connection throughout our lives. However, the stories we tell often hinder our ability to forge these deeper bonds, and we may become focused on our differences rather than our similarities, leading to a breakdown in our relationships.

Healthy social attachment is not just a warm and fuzzy concept; it is a fundamental element of our mental, physical, social, and spiritual journey. It forms the cornerstone for building secure relationships, fosters empathy, and enhances our overall well-being. In this blog post, we will delve into the role of healthy attachment styles in creating effective social bonds and forming healthy intimate relationships.

Our attachment styles significantly influence our social interactions by shaping our ability to express vulnerability, empathy, and open communication. When we have a secure attachment style, we are more likely to express our feelings openly and honestly, creating a safe space for our partners and friends to do the same. This open and empathetic communication facilitates deeper connections with others and helps us navigate conflicts more constructively.

The 6ᵗʰ Mass Extinction Theory suggests that the Earth is currently experiencing a significant loss of biodiversity, comparable to previous mass extinction events in geological history.

Jeff Hardy adeptly delved into the insidious grip of the Declinism Bias and its consequential impact on our capacity to enact meaningful changes in our future behaviors.

Through a thought-provoking analysis, Hardy illuminated how this cognitive bias skews our perceptions, leading us to disproportionately focus on negative aspects of society's evolution while disregarding progress.

With a keen understanding, he highlighted the far-reaching implications of this bias on our collective ability to address pressing social issues, emphasizing that only by acknowledging our innate inclination and actively challenging it can we truly forge a path toward effective change and meaningful societal transformation.
