This is episode 880 of the Tiny Leaps, Big Changes podcast. Watch on YouTube Are you tired of setting S.M.A.R.T goals and not achieving them? Do you feel like every goal-setting video or podcast gives the same exact advice? If so, you are not alone.

Tik Tok | Instagram | YouTube In today's episode, I explore the intriguing "Trigger > Thought > Action > Consequence" model that governs our daily decisions and actions. I introduce this process, illustrating its components with familiar examples like snacking habits, reactions to alarms, and social media usage. I delve into each element of the model, beginning with 'Triggers,' which can be external events or internal feelings. Next, I discuss 'Thoughts,' shaped by individual background...

YouTube Sharing our personal experiences can have profound effects on others. One such effect is motivating them to take the kind of action that eventually leads to positive changes in their lives. It's really easy to say that people should just get motivated, it's even easier to tell them they need to go watch a motivational video or read a book, but the reality is it doesn't work that way. There are a number of things that contribute to an individual becoming motivated or losing motivation, bu...
Burnout is a state of physical, mental and emotional exhaustion that can result from chronic stress, especially in the workplace. It can affect anyone, but it's particularly common among people who work in demanding, competitive or high-pressure environments. Burnout can have serious consequences for your health, happiness and productivity. But what causes burnout and how can we prevent it? In this episode, I will argue that burnout is not just a personal problem, but a social and economic one. ...
In this episode, we explore the alluring and often overwhelming desire to do it all. We start by acknowledging that we all have the capability to do anything we set our minds to, but being capable and being good are two different things. We often find ourselves envious of others who excel in a particular task or craft, which can send us down a rabbit hole of excitement and inspiration, only to lose interest when the next shiny thing comes along. So why does this happen? Where does our need to co...
In this episode, we explore the importance of understanding the motivations behind personal change. Often, we feel pressure to improve ourselves because society tells us we're not good enough as we are. But the truth is, we are already enough. Personal change should come from a place of self-love and acceptance, not external pressure. We must question the messages that society sends us and determine whether we truly want to make a change for ourselves or for someone else. Moreover, personal grow...
When you hear the word "productivity," you might think of getting as much done as possible in the least amount of time. Is this really the best way to work though? Grinding away at an endless list approach really the most effective way to work? I don't think it is and I don't think you do either. There's a better way, it's called being effective and I think it's worth better understanding the differences between productivity and effectiveness.

Are you tired of feeling like a cog in the machine, working hard every day just to scrape by while those at the top reap all the benefits? It's not just your imagination - the balance of power between capital and labor is heavily skewed in favor of capital. But why is this the case, and what can we do about it? In this episode, we'll explore the reasons why capital holds all the power and why labor has been duped into believing that capital is more valuable. We'll delve into the concept of class...

In this episode, I dive into the strange and often hazardous intersection between capitalism and the pursuit of passion. I'll explore how the pressure to find and monetize your passion has become a pervasive message in our society, and the consequences of treating passion as a means to an end rather than an end in itself. I'll discuss why it's important to prioritize passion for its own sake, rather than solely focusing on its profit potential. I'll examine the dangers of reducing passion to a c...
Lately, I've been paying close attention to what motivates me and trying to figure out how to pursue more of that. This reminded me of a book I read early last year called Tiny Habits by B.J. Fogg. In the book, B.J. introduced the behavior model. The B = M A P behavior model is a simple yet powerful tool that can help us understand the factors that influence our behavior. B.J. Fogg, a Stanford University researcher and expert on behavior change, created this model to help explain why some behavi...
A common trap that I fall into is feeling like my “why” needs to be this huge, selfless thing. Like it needs to be Mother Teresa levels of altruism. Something like: Wanting to help underprivileged communities Because you want to fix climate change To support children because they’re our future And, maybe it would be nice if those were naturally your reason but if they’re not, you shouldn’t feel bad about it. Let's get something straight, your "why" doesn't have to be some big, noble cause or any...
We've all been there. We know meditation is good for us, but we just can't seem to start and stick with it. Maybe we're too busy, or we're not sure how to do it. Or maybe we're just a little intimidated by the idea of sitting still and trying to quiet our minds. But the truth is, starting a meditation practice doesn't have to be complicated or difficult. In fact, getting started with building this habit can be much, much simpler than you think. So, whether you're a meditation newbie or you're lo...
I'm going to tell you a story. It's not a true story, it's not even based on any specific person that I know, but it's the type of story that happens all the time. Maybe it's even happened to you or someone you know. This is the story of Jane. Jane had always dreamed of becoming a lawyer. Growing up in a low-income neighborhood, Jane had to work hard to overcome the many obstacles in her way. She was an excellent student and graduated from high school with top grades and even attended a good col...
Here's a question...when was the last time you considered your unconcious biases? Have you ever? It's okay if not..most of us haven't. But here's something interesting to note..whether we take the time to examine them or not...they do affect us. Every single day. Maybe in small ways, getting passed over for a promotion, being spoken down to by your peers, or...in the case of my guest today...getting your work overlooked. Or maybe you've been the perpetrator. Choosing the cross the street at nigh...
