The New Me Part 2

The Day That Turns Your Life Around- Jim Rohn

In this podcast Joel and Antonia discuss pain vs suffering and unpack the difference.

http://www.PersonalityHacker.com

In this podcast on pain vs suffering you’ll find:

    This podcast will discuss the difference between pain and suffering.
    Pain is inevitable and suffering is optional. You can stay with it or continue experiencing it.
    The base root of pain is physical warning that there’s something damaging. Pleasure is a reward mechanism for doing something that the body believe is healthy
    Pain is not always a bad thing. We experience something we assume is bad for our body.
    The difference between pain and suffering is the narrative behind it.
    When you over attach to your ego, it becomes righteously indignant.
    The only thing you can do is to be the absolute version of yourself. You want to spend the majority of your time with people who has the same value as yours. But it’s near impossible for you to prevent meeting people who choose to suffer every day.
    Being awesome is a great influence to others. When people see your progress and happiness, they will be inspired to make or initiate changes in their lives.


Pain vs Suffering | PODCAST 0002

In this podcast Antonia & Joel talk about Personal Intelligence.

http://PersonalityHacker.com

In this podcast you’ll find:

    This podcast episode will talk about personal intelligence.
    Kinesthetic intelligence – natural dexterity.
    Analytic intelligence – Our culture’s ultimate definition of intelligence.
    Emotional intelligence (EQ) – A book written by Daniel Goldman. People with Emotional Intelligence understand and control their emotions and have them work for you.
    There are different types of intelligence and we have a tendency to have a preference from one of the other.
    Personal intelligence – the power of personality and how it shapes our lives by John D. Mayer.
    As per John D. Mayer, “Personal Intelligence is the capacity to identify and reason about information about personality. We use this ability to recognize information about people from their appearance, possessions and behaviors and use that to label our impressions of a person and to match that impression to our knowledge of similar people. From such clues, we deduce how to behave with the person and how that person will treat us in return and we look for clues about our own selves to better understand our needs and map out our previous plans”.
    Pattern recognizing – gives us the ability to see similarities between people’s behavior and attitudes.
    Personal typing VS Stereotyping. Personal typing is well researched with different structured systems.
    Introspective – ability to enter your mind and understand who you are as a human being
    Intraspective – ability to understand other people’s dynamics (social intelligence)
    Most personal psychology tools are very useful on their base fundamentals but most of them can expounded indefinitely.
    A simple hobby or curiosity will help increase personal intelligence.


Personal Intelligence | PODCAST 0003

Joel and Antonia talk about the unique lives male feelers and female thinkers lead.

http://PersonalityHacker.com

In this podcast you’ll find:

    This podcast episode will talk about Male – Female dynamics and personality types, focusing Feeler Males and Thinker Females.
    Even if a man and woman are the same personality, regardless of the typology system used, there will be differences.
    Thinker VS Feeler
    Thinker – is someone who basically makes decision based in metrics and criteria takin into account. Does it make sense analytically? Will it work?
    Feeler – makes decisions based on how it will impact other people. How are people going to be impacted? How is it going to impact the family?
    All thinkers feel and all feelers think.
    It is assumed that women will be feelers and men thinkers
    75% of females are feelers. They have a higher emotional intelligence.
    There are people that don’t necessarily fit on the cultural definition of masculinity and femininity. Separate yourself from your personality type from femininity and masculinity. Being able to do this means that you can fully embrace your authentic nature.
    Your femininity is not defined by making decisions.
    In today’s generation, we’re starting to see couples go together to the next stage of their lives.
    Men have a lot of support of how masculinity is defined, as someone who’s taking care of his children and many more.

Exercise we recommend in this podcast:

    Are you a feeler male or a thinker female? What has been your experience as non-stereotype? Where have you not fit into whatever cultural type you live in and what has been your experience? What are the tools you’re using to accept your authentic self? 

Male Feelers & Female Thinkers | PODCAST 0006

In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about how to use the feedback from others for personal development.

http://PersonalityHacker.com

In this podcast you’ll find:

    Feedback is the willingness to accept information that the world gives us in order to respond and get the best results possible.
    Our resistance to receiving feedback we don’t like is often our ego being triggered.
    We see ourselves as better than we really are, and that’s a good thing. Confidence makes up for a multitude of sins.
    We rely on confidence so much that when the world gives us feedback to shake it, our ego can become distressed that we no longer have confidence to fall back upon.
    When we ignore feedback, we don’t give ourselves an opportunity to improve.
    When people are convinced they’re right, they especially ignore feedback.
    Listening to feedback doesn’t mean that you only listen to sources you deem credible or that you agree with.
    Giving feedback too much credence can also be dangerous. Individuals can be reflecting their subjective perspective, not necessarily ‘reality’.
    Feedback comes from both the ‘inner world’ and the ‘outer world’.  We need a healthy balance of both.
    Introverts have a tendency to tune out feedback that doesn’t resonant with their inner world. This is great for dealing with nay-sayers, but not for changing course when needed.
    Extraverts, on the other hand, are more sensitive to outer world feedback but not to their internal feedback.
    “The best feedback is something that threatens a dearly held belief.”
    When our beliefs are challenged, we start to act like addicts for the belief(s).
    All growth happens in discomfort, so we have to be willing to accept uncomfortable feedback.
    Cognitive dissonance is when we experience stress because we are holding two opposing beliefs. We can avoid feedback because we don’t want to experience cognitive dissonance, but we need to be okay with feedback that may threaten a precious belief and remember “the way out is through.” There’s a part of you listening, anyway.
    Feedback will always challenge what you think, feel and where you stand.

Exercises we recommend in this podcast:

Make a list of between one and three pieces of feedback that make you feel the most uncomfortable (angry, frustrated, ashamed, sad, or makes you squirm). It will feel horrible, but your biggest growth is tied to that feedback. Even if you end up not agreeing with the feedback, exploring it is high leverage for self-understanding.

Feedback That Makes You Squirm | PODCAST 0010

In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about the idea that what your thinker thinks – your prover will prove.

http://PersonalityHacker.com

In this podcast you’ll find:

    The mind is divided into 2 parts: the Thinker and the Prover
    The Thinker’s job is to come up with a reality; this can be extremely complex
    The Prover’s job is simple – prove the Thinker’s reality (it’s a ‘dutiful servant’)
    Can I change my reality just by changing how I think?
    How useful is a belief?
    Everyone is on autopilot; by the time you get to a decision, you already made that decision 10 decisions ago
    We can show our biases simply by focusing on some information over others
    The best we can do is ‘pre-program the GPS’
    How responsible are you for your actions?
    How we decide to program our minds and whether or not we choose to outsource our beliefs will have major impact
    “The easiest way to be brainwashed is to be born.”


What The Thinker Thinks – The Prover Proves | PODCAST 0011

In this episode Joel & Antonia invite their friend Chelsea to join the podcast to talk about the mind body connection.

http://PersonalityHacker.com

In this podcast you’ll find:

    Guest Chelsea O’Brien uses the mind/body connection to understand eating disorders.
    We have a tendency to see the body and mind as totally separate, i.e. the body is a vehicle for the mind or that they have totally different desires and needs.
    When you see them in relationship, the question becomes – what thoughts are driving the body’s behaviors.
    Is the brain always in control?
    The mind and body come together when the body experiences feelings.
    There are neurons in the stomach, meaning the body and mind have a much closer connection than we previous thought.
    We can make connections between emotions and behaviors that program our brain to react to triggers in predictable ways.
    “Neurons that fire together, wire together.”
    Social expectations and pressure can cause us to feel shame around these issues that keep our minds more detached from our bodies and exacerbate the issue.
    We can go on autopilot in our behaviors, so programming our mind (“GPS unit”) is important when dealing with addictions and disorders.
    An understanding of the ‘Triune Brain Theory’ is helpful. The lizard brain, the mammalian brain and the neo-cortex.
    We’re dealing with ‘ancient programming’.
    Our lizard brain has a want. If we ignore it, it will only get more insistent.
    The mammalian brain alternates between positive feelings of getting the need met, but shame when registering overconsumption.
    Our neo-cortex thinks it’s in control, but it isn’t when the lizard brain has a need.
    Being in touch with the body and fully experiencing sensations and feelings helps slow down reaction time and making more thoughtful decisions.

Exercises we recommend in this podcast:

    Notice/be aware when you have an urge to overindulge.
    Allow the urge to be there without reacting.
    Feel the urge completely until it plays out.
    Choose how to respond thoughtfully.


The Mind Body Connection | PODCAST 0014

In this episode Joel & Antonia answer a question from a listener about finding your passion.

http://PersonalityHacker.com

In this podcast you’ll find:

    Many people say that if you’re living your passion “you never work a day in your life.”
    We haven’t always had the luxury of asking what our passion is and finding a career which represents it. Technology has democratized the question and the answer.
    What is passion? Is it an emotion?
    What is worth it to me so that when I have sticking point and have to do things I don’t want to have to do it’s still important for me to pursue. The outcome of letting the dream die is unconscionable.
    There’s a big connection between one’s passion and the impact you want to create.
    Those who want to pursue creative careers tend to find their passion earlier in life and follow it young.
    Model: Passion, Purpose and Mission.
    Passion is anything that lights a fire under you. It keeps you focused on an end game. It’s unthinkable to stop.
    Purpose is helping define ‘why am I here’? Our minds wander to ‘how do I leave the camp better than when I got here’? It’s a focus on contribution.
    Mission is being a light-bearer, and people are following you as a leader.
    Super successful people aren’t just focused on their own personal success, but on the industry they’re in as a whole. “The rising tide raises all ships.”
    Model: Power, Achievement and Affiliation.
    These are motivators for knowing what means something to you. Power may be motivated by gaining greater responsibility over others, affiliation may be motivated by recognition and achievement is motivated by having accomplished something.
    What is your end game, is it wrapped up in power, achievement or affiliation?
    Sometimes it’s not a matter of finding your passion, it’s a matter of having permission to know your passion. Suddenly you’re responsible to your passion, and some may not feel ready for it or have permission to pursue it.
    Being fully authentic as a person is a vital component to following your passion.
    A better question than “what do you want to be when you grow up?” is “WHO do you want to be when you grow up?”

Exercises we recommend in this podcast:

1. What subject do you love so much that if you were in a restaurant and people at the next table over were talking about this subject you would interrupt their conversation in order to talk about it with them?

2. What problem or challenge have you solved that you will interrupt people in a restaurant to share the solution with them?

3. If you had a microphone in front of you and for 10 minutes the entire planet had to stop and listen to everything you said, what would you talk about?

Finding Your Passion | PODCAST 0015

In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about what it means to have transparent honesty in relationships and business.

http://PersonalityHacker.com

In this podcast you’ll find:

    Jack Welch hires based on integrity, which defines as ‘honesty’.
    Is transparency the same as honesty?
    Honesty is telling the truth, transparency is how much information you choose to disclose.
    Being honest depends upon a person knowing which question to ask, transparency is volunteered information.
    Is being fully transparent in all areas desirable? Is it an ethic?
    People like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden have altered how we see transparency and information.
    Some information shouldn’t be shared with all people, since not everyone is responsible with information.
    The gauge for what should be shared is whether or not sharing it increases the quality of life for the highest amount of people. It’s a cost/benefit analysis.
    Transparency isn’t necessary a good thing. It can be neutral, or even bad.
    It’s most helpful to see it as a tool.
    Transparency is also about timing. Devolving too much information too soon can be ineffectual.
    Sometimes people have a right to know information, meaning transparency shouldn’t be a question in those circumstances.
    It takes balls to be transparent.
    Being modest about how much transparency you’re comfortable with is important. It’s a muscle that can be built, and something that can be scaled up.
    Sometimes when we’re being ‘transparent’ we’re performing for others, and so we’re not being truly authentic and therefore not transparent.
    The more transparent we are, the less judgmental we are of others, since we’re forced to see our own inner lies.
    You can be transparent, radically honest and still kind.
    The more honest we are, the more we can identify our ‘You Are Here’ dot, or our accurate starting point.
    Putting your ‘best foot forward’ doesn’t mean you’re offending ethics. Transparency isn’t always the ethically superior choice.
    A part of transparency means owning your actions, acknowledging them from the past and owning behaviors in the now.
    Not everyone is going to be okay with radical honesty. It can feel icky at first.
    Transparency is one of the best ways to increase intimacy.

Exercises we recommend in this podcast:

For the next week, when someone asks you “how are you doing today?” be honest about how you’re doing.  

Practice being transparent about your emotions in your most intimate relationships.

Transparent Honesty in Relationships & Business | PODCAST 0016

In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about Human Sexuality and Society.

http://PersonalityHacker.com

In this podcast you’ll find:

    The one thing that seems to be on most people’s minds most of the time is sex.
    Frank Underwood in the show “House of Cards” (Netflix) says, “Everything is about sex, except for sex. Sex is about power.”
    Robert Anton Wilson talks about the Eight Circuit Model. The Fourth Circuit is Socio-Sexual.
    The First Circuit is the Bio-Survival Circuit – is the world friendly or hostile?
    The Second Circuit is Anal-Territorial – am I dominate or submissive?
    The Third Circuit is the Time Binding Circuit – what is my adopted ideology?
    The Fourth Circuit is Socio-Sexual – what is my sexual preference and what is my identity in society?
    We control sexual behavior to control people’s minds, and get a specific outcome.
    “The only rule about sexuality is that there’s going to be rules about sexuality.”
    What we get imprinted with sexually is almost infinite in variety.
    We spend the majority of our time pretending that our sexual preference(s) matches whatever our society says is acceptable.
    About 99% of the population DOES NOT SHARE the sexual imprint our society says is acceptable.
    Many people who don’t have the ‘acceptable’ sexual imprint will see themselves as perverted, which becomes part of their identity in society.
    We’re all very interested in what ‘normal’ is. We fear getting ‘booted by the tribe’.
    Sometimes those who feel they are ‘perverted’ will spend time and effort hiding that by demonizing others who also aren’t ‘normal’.
    If everyone had to reveal what their sexual preferences are we’d understand that ‘normal’ is actually being ‘not normal’.
    We are more and more understanding how varied sexual preference are thanks to passing information anonymously on the internet.
    It’s much more difficult to control how people ‘should’ be thinking.
    Do we have more variety of sexual preferences since we’re exposed to more things in our culture?
    Social construction of reality isn’t bad – it’s how we navigate through life with unspoken social contracts that make everyone’s life easier.
    The mistake is believing that the social construction is absolute, and if we don’t ‘line up’ it makes us ‘bad’. It’s much closer to reality and healthier to think, “These are just the rules of the game I happen to be in right now, and it’s okay if I’m a little different.”
    If you control someone’s sexuality, you control their mind. That’s why it’s been so important for people in power to control ‘acceptable’ concepts of sexuality.
    The issue easily comes down controlling reproduction, i.e the abortion debate, whether or not homosexual couples should raise children, how many children a family can have, etc.
    People go through life unaware of the bigger picture, and we can overvalue the opinions of society.
    If you don’t think your sexuality is the ‘norm’ – cut yourself some slack.

Exercises we recommend in this podcast:

Spend this week cutting yourself some slack for your preferences!

Human Sexuality and Society | PODCAST 0018

In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about healthy ways to approach personality development and personality typologies.

http://PersonalityHacker.com

In this podcast you’ll find:

    Personality Psychology is a field that is often abused
    Typologies are something that needs to be respected
    Personality hacker helps identify the unique qualities of people
    Every single person is unique but we share common characteristics
    There are limited ways in seeing reality and there are patterns to it
    A good typology system doesn’t presume to define the person in their entirety
    We use different types of typology systems and interweave them to understand a person better
    Personality typologies help us understand how different and unique our perspectives are as individuals.
    The horizontal and vertical models measure different things
    Horizontal model – assuming everyone is of the same level of development
    Vertical model – levels of development measured on an upward scale
    Understanding the difference between these two types help us explore more details of an individual’s personality
    One of the benefits of a solid horizontal model is that it gives you permission to be yourself and it has you giving permission for others to be themselves.
    Typologies should never be used as a weapon.
    Horizontal models are great for permission. Vertical models are great for achievement.
    Many of us are interested to measure our progress and growth and vertical models are fantastic for analyzing our path.
    We will discuss different models and typologies in upcoming episodes
    Myers Briggs – studies how your mind is learning new information and how it is using it to make decisions
    Enneagram – studies the strategies we use to deal with trauma
    Graves model – study of ourselves in a micro and macro level
    The more typology systems you use, the more you’re going to see different components of an individual’s personality.
    We all have different virtues and values. No two people are exactly the same
    If the typology system is not helping you understand yourself better, then it’s either it’s a bad typology system or you’re using it the wrong way.
    Our ability to be happy is based on our emotional intelligence.
    Don’t believe in anything too much. Even you’ve identified your personality type using these models and typologies, remember that it’s not the entire picture. It gives you permission to be the best person you can.



Models Of Personality Development | PODCAST 0019

In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about healthy ways to approach personality development and personality typologies.

http://PersonalityHacker.com

In this podcast you’ll find:

    Myers Briggs Personality Types – Fairly accessible to everyone and is widely used in universities and companies.
    Its wide accessibility is its weakness
    History of Myers Briggs Personality Types
    Started with the work of Carl Jung who was a contemporary of Sigmund Freud. He studied archetypes, patterns of how people behaved and what made them different from each other.
    Carl Jung discovered that our minds have mental process that are a primary way of interacting with the world. The archetypes were representations of different mental processes. The behaviour might manifest itself in many ways but it’s that mental process and the way you see reality that matters.
    8 Cognitive functions – described the primary ways people learn and understand information and the primary ways people make decisions or evaluate that information.
    Isabel and Kathryn Briggs were students of Jung and they were working on a system. These are the mental processes of your mind. How the mind sees and engages with reality. They recognized that there’s one component missing – Judging and Perceiving.
    The point of knowing your 4 letter code is meant to tell yon which cognitive functions are your favourite and indicates preferences.
    First Letter – I or E (Introversion and Extroversion). Some say that there are more introverts than extraverts
    Extraverts – the outer world is the real world
    Introverts – the inner wold is the real world.” Introverts need alone time.
    We tend to believe that extraverts are always outgoing and introverts are always shy and quiet. However, there are introverts who are very friendly and there are extraverts that are reserved and discreet.
    Second Letter – S or N (Sensing and Intuition). This is how we understand reality.
    Sensors rely on verifiable information.
    Intuitive are comfortable making leaps of habit by ‘thinking what’s behind the curtain’. They are far more interested in speculation.
    Majority of the world are sensory.
    Third Letter – T or F (Thinking and Feeling).
    Thinking – how you’re making decisions based on a thinking criteria – pieces of information that be processed and accounted for.
    Feeling – how their decision will impact other people specifically.
    All thinkers feel and all feelers think
    Fourth Letter – J or P (Judging or Perception). Most people say judging are people who are well- organized.
    Judger – they want outer world organization in order to have inner world freedom.
    Perceivers – inner world organization in order to have outer world freedom. Perceivers like to be spontaneous.


Myers Briggs Personality Types | PODCAST 0020

In this episode Joel and Antonia talk with Author and Entrepreneur Rachel Rofe about how to set goals for life and business.

http://PersonalityHacker.com

In this podcast you’ll find:

    About our special guest: Rachel Rofé is a multiple bestselling author that’s been featured in Entrepreneur, Woman’s World, and Fox News. Since she began internet marketing in 2006, she’s developed over 30 products, 40 Kindle books, and bought and sold companies with as many as 120+ employees.
    If you don’t know how to prioritize and sequence things, Rachel can help.
    You can basically set any goals. The first step is to identify how you feel, pick the feelings you need to focus on then create goals around that. Break down the goals, whatever comes up, then pick the ones that are most doable. For example, if your goal is to setup a membership site, break down what needs to happen and formulate your monthly goals and daily to-do list.
    Another example – if you want to feel respected (identified feeling), ask yourself, “What are the different ways that I can feel respected?” Go through your thoughts and pick a handful. Once you go after those feelings, even if you don’t get all those things done, you still feel really good because you’ve considered and acknowledge your feelings.
    Start with 3-5 goals. If you know specifically what to do, it becomes so much doable. For example, if you want to improve your relationship, ask yourself “What does it look like to improve my relationship?” then let yourself come up with answers.
    Most people create arbitrary goals which traps us when setting goals.
    Everything is a foundation of an emotion. Acknowledging the goal is the emotion.
    When you feel negative emotions, ask yourself the right questions for the opposite felling and let yourself answer the question and feel the right stuff.
    The truth is, we are in service of our feelings whether we like it or not. Giving yourself permission makes you feel good.
    Have measurable checkpoints around what your plotted goals.
    If you have a choice, you can choose a better life. If you don’t know where you’re going, you will never get to where you want to be. Have a plan and methodology and get the results you want.
    As you gain success, scale up and make a bigger impact in the world, it is important to make sure that your development is keeping pace with your public success.

How To Set Goals | PODCAST 0025

In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about the importance of finding intuition mentors who can help guide you in your personal development journey.

In this podcast you’ll find:

    This podcast episode talks about finding intuition mentors who can help you in your personal growth.
    Mentorship can help you accomplish what you want to achieve faster
    People/mentors matter in your life. An intuitive that grows in an environment without an intuitive mentor can get pretty unhealthy.
    It’s not just embracing your intuition and acknowledging it, it’s about recognizing that no matter who you are, you can be at various levels of health.
    If someone can come along and help guide Intuitives with their potential, it can make all the difference in their lives.
    A healthy intuitive can be a huge positive force that can make a great impact to the world. They realize who they really are and they are eager to grow.
    Health is an expression of not being totally self-consumed.
    The healthier we get, the more we’re able to see outside ourselves.
    If you don’t have a mentor you can support you, then it’s time to look for one who can support and massively change you.
    What/Who are intuition mentors?
    Intuition mentors don’t necessarily be physically in your life.
    Mentorship can come through time-binding, a hero and from people you’re intimate with.
    Intuitives have the tendency to use books and characters in TV shows as mentors.
    Health happens concurrently with growth. Most people are at an average of health and are not in abundance.
    In order to get to a healthy phase or level, you should be willing to question who you are and what you’re made of.
    With intuition comes ambition of wanting to make something significant.
    There’s a lot of mentors out there for Intuitives. Figure out the kind of mentorship you’re looking for at this phase in your life.

Finding Intuition Mentors | PODCAST 0032

In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about developing an intuition action plan.

In this podcast you’ll find:

3 important components that an intuitive can introduce to their life when developing intuition in order to be at their happiest:

    You and your intuition
    Your intuition and other people
    Your intuition and what you do in the world

You and your intuition (Personal level: How it impacts you as a person)

    Become the healthiest version of yourself as you can be.
    Self permission and self acceptance is the baseline.
    After acceptance, learn to navigate through the world and manage that component. Once done in a positive way, it makes an intuitive amazingly healthy.
    There is a need to manage intuitive energy based on your intuitive type. Make sure to do things that feel natural to you.
    For example, avoid small talks if it doesn’t come naturally for you unless the return is high and it is being done for the benefit of others.
    Make sure to do things that exercises your intuitive energy.
    If your job, family or people close to you sap your intuitive energy, do baby steps to redefine your position and slowly take your intuitive needs met.

Your intuition and other people around you

    How do you make your way through the world wherein most people learn information and think differently from you?
    Usually, once Intuitives recognize who they are, they think they are better than most people but that doesn’t increase their personal happiness.
    They need to understand that they have unique abilities that most people don’t but a part of the world needs filling in.
    They should learn to appreciate non-intuitive people (people who have Sensory learning style); what they give to the world. Giving permission to others to be who they are doesn’t mean they will give permission for you to be who you really are.
    Only you can give that permission which is self sovereignty. It is not about fairness but fundamentally on happiness. Don’t emanate resentment if the favor is not returned.
    Learn how to blend and be healthy. This  gives opportunity to express to other people one’s intuitive difference from others.
    Make sure you are having relationships with other Intuitives as well.

Your intuition and what you do in the world

    How to extend the gifts you have as an intuitive?
    Foundational needs should be met first and that includes personal relationships.
    Realization. You might be doing what you were always told that you “should do” than what is really in your heart and mind.R
    Redirection. You reapply all skills you have learned to whatever you love.
    Progression of passion, purpose and mission. Passion is the starting point. Doing the thing you love and maybe using it in earning a living. This graduates to purpose; how to keep doing the thing you love and also impact the world in a positive way? Then it becomes a mission.
    An awareness of a purpose and a strong will to make a movement that could change or lead to more positive things. Play with options and see what happens.

Exercises we recommend in this podcast

    Write down the 5 things that gives you energy as an intuitive. What is it that builds into your intuition?
    Think abbot the ways you can communicate your intuition, ways you can hold space and relate to them on your terms if they don’t think like you do.


Developing An Intuition Action Plan | PODCAST 0033

In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about the introvert advantage in a world that is becoming more and more extraverted.

In this podcast on the introvert advantage you’ll find:

    Introversion gets a lot of misunderstanding. People in general have a lot of confusion about introversion and extraversion.
    Do introverts have a disadvantage in this world? Do they have issues that are very unique to them?
    There are a lot of great performers that are introverts who can perform and speak very well.
    In business, life and social circles, people are expected to be extroverts. Public speaking, for example, is a challenge for some people.
    Introverts need time to be alone in order to recover their energy while extraverts get their energy by being in the environment and interacting with people.
    Energy is being managed differently by introverts and extraverts.
    Introverts – Inner world is the real world. When the outer world isn’t mirroring their inner world experience, they reconcile both worlds which takes too much energy.
    Extraverts – Outer world is the real world. Spending too much time alone drains their energy. In order to understand what’s really going on, they have to go outside of themselves.
    The outer world doesn’t specifically have to be people.
    When you understand people at a profound level, you can see and understand where they are coming from.

In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about the difference between modesty and humility while giving some great ideas for giving yourself permission to be awesome.

In this podcast on permission to be awesome you’ll find:

    Oftentimes we think that we wasted our time during our younger years especially if we didn’t get any return on investment.
    There are many ways for people to identify themselves, perhaps in a certain time we graduate, the times we spent before and many more.
    Make a list of the things that you experienced in order to get what you really want.
    Remember that you wouldn’t be where you are today without things you experienced in your past.
    The skills you’ve learned and things you did helped you to arrive where you are now.
    We tend to forget to be grateful for the things in our lives that has gotten us to the places we’re at. The more grateful you are, the more you accomplish and achieve.
    People who have been raised in a survival context (example – people who had terrible upbringing and faced a lot of tragedy in life) have the ability to navigate the world in a very interesting way.
    Humility VS Modesty. Humility is all about where you stand in relationship to everybody else. Modesty is about accepting your limitations and at the same time, acknowledging your skills.
    People are more inclined to trust you as a person when you provide an accurate assessment of where you stand.
    Give yourself permission to be awesome. When you accept how much power you have and all the amazing things that made you who you are now, it takes you to a new level in making a huge difference in the world.
