Moment 150: The REAL (& Usually Unseen) Reason You’re Struggling With Love & Relationships!: Logan Ury
In this moment, relationship expert and behavioural scientist, Logan Ury discusses what she thinks is the most important part out of all of relationship science: attachment styles. Logan says these styles help you to understand yourself, your previous dating patterns, and who you are attracted to. Our attachment style also explains we are triggered to push people away, as our brains create negative thoughts and look for flaws in a person as an unconscious way of protecting us from getting hurt. However, Logan says that it is possible for 25% of us to change our attachment style. She says this can be done in 2 parts: firstly by understanding your style of attachment, and secondly, by understanding your unconscious triggers you can override them in order to get out of your own way in finding love.Listen to the full episode here Apple - https://g2ul0.app.link/sXZ3OZpToHbSpotify - https://g2ul0.app.link/nAu4hnmToHbWatch the Episodes On Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/c/%20TheDiaryOfACEO/videosLogan:https://www.loganury.comhttps://www.instagram.com/loganury/?hl=enLearn more about your ad choices.

Moment 149: Why You Are Easily Distracted & How To FIX it! Nir Eyal

One of the first major steps is being able to master the internal triggers that are trying to pull your attention away. Nir believes that to do this you need to try and understand the underlying feelings behind these urge. As he says, time management is pain management, and all human behaviour is about trying to escape discomfort.

Because, if you don’t master these internal triggers, they become your master. Another major step to beat procrastination is by actually scheduling time to be distracted. Nir calls this ‘The 10 Minute Rule’, which allows you to give in to any distraction in your scheduled time, but only for 10 minutes!Listen to the full episode here - https://g2ul0.app.link/osVkcTMLbHbWatch the Episodes On Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/c/%20TheDiaryOfACEO/videosNir:https://www.nirandfar.comhttps://www.instagram.com/neyal99/?hl=enLearn more about your ad choices.

Moment 148: Guarantee Financial Freedom! The 4 Numbers You NEED To Be Tracking: Ramit Sethi
In this moment, personal finance expert Rami Sethi breaks down the 4 finance numbers everyone needs to know and what exactly a ‘rich life’ is. Ramit says that most people don’t have even the most basic understanding of money, compare this to other areas of life such as driving, where we need to know the rules of the road before putting a key in the ignition. However, personal finance is actually incredibly simple and Ramit says that the four numbers you need to track are: your fixed costs like rent and groceries, savings, investments, and guilt free spending. From these numbers, Ramit says that he can see what are a person’s priorities and outlook on life. But more revealing is someone’s idea of their ‘rich life’. This is what a person’s life would look like if they finally reached the level of wealth they are chasing. Ramit says too often people’s answer to what their rich life is vague, for instance, saying they want to be able to do what they want when they want, or to have freedom. These answers are so vague as people have never really thought about this question before, but Ramit say they need to think about this potential future deeply and in detail so that they can truly envision it.Listen to the full episode here - https://g2ul0.app.link/hzKpXWPk1GbWatch the Episodes On Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/c/%20TheDiaryOfACEO/videosRamit- https://www.instagram.com/ramit/?hl=en-gbhttps://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.comLearn more about your ad choices.

Mindy discusses how evolution has actually shaped the human body so that it is constantly looking to increase your chances of survival.

Mindy says that in general we seem to be in a ‘evolutionary mismatch’ with our bodies and need to regain trust in them.Listen to the full episode here - https://g2ul0.app.link/hXIqoyQGOGbWatch the Episodes On Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/c/%20TheDiaryOfACEO/videosMindy: https://drmindypelz.com/https://www.instagram.com/dr.mindypelz/?hl=enLearn more about your ad choices.
