Video

Hey Michelle! I'm just here to say that I loved this episode! I found it super actionable, especially as someone who really resists difficult emotions. Thank you!

thanks to you i've stopped vent journalling... MM#2 kind of sounds like that. cracker-jack suggestion michelle, you really do have a book in you

you are right...of course SO HARD to do...

really great video :) i just have a question. i find with emotions, something always seems to be coming up. i have big feelings a lot - anxiousness, moments of despair. these strategies are great, but doesn't there come a point where there are just too many feelings floating around that need to be regulated? maybe getting into a flow state will help? i guess this is me having a skewed relationship with my emotions. i will approach it more with curiosity!

Wow I am one of the first ones to comment. I absolutely love your podcast and your CZcams channel especially the ones with Notion involved.

Hey Michelle ! Can you please do an in depth video or a podcast episode about sleep? Would love to hear from you on this topic

I love this short podcast so much!!!❤

Muchelle great content ❤

Makes me think of Gretchen Rubin's four tendebcies. And I guess upholders might do well with structures and more "rigid" habits.

wow: marble mentality! love this & it's new to me--ty for teaching me something new i can see applying this to areas other than workout and cleaning routines (non-negotiable habits), such a writing or meditating ty🤍

Thank you Muchelle! It's so refreshing to hear it acknowledged that habits and routines don't necessarily work for everyone. So much of productivity and self-improvement content has focused on habits for years now (probably since Atomic Habits was released), that the feeling of failure is inevitable for those of us who can't get many habits to stick despite trying over and over. I'm now listening to your interview with Michelle Segar and really enjoying it 😊

I honestly love the longer in depth format, that I feel wasnt espacially long to begin with tbh, and feel the mini moves segment is one of the best components, so I really hope both come back 😊 But I definitely wasnt a fan of the guests and prefer ur solo episodes. Either way, huge fan 😊💛

I lovelovelove shorter, more frequent content! I generally click away from anything super long (more than about 20 minutes), even if it intrigues me, because I just don't have the time or patience for it, especially on a regular basis. Once in a while, for a special topic, okay. Every week? Nope. But regardless of length, the most important part is the value of that content, and I always get great value from your videos/podcasts, no matter how long or short they are, and I appreciate that SO much! <3

New subscriber! I loved this episode because 1. the content was clear and actionable 2. The title was descriptive, not clickbate 3. Your presentation was clear and relatable. It seemed that you know what you are talking about, but are "one of us". I'm hopping over to your channel home to see what I've missed!

Once again, you nailed the topic

❤ great content

I think the reason these are so popular is that they don't demand anything of you. It's easy to assume you're the only genuine person with reasonable needs and everyone around you is just trying to encroach on your emotional and mental resources. That way you don't bear any responsibility for anything. Your versions are obviously more thoughtful and accurate but they require people to actually empathise with others, and that's hard. But, great video!

I love this! The comparison to experiments was really helpful to me as a researcher. It sounds like the Strategy is the theory (based on past observations, the past evidence of what works and what doesn't, etc.) all your strategic choices as testing a hypothesis based on that theory. So, just like how you test a hypothesis based on your theory, you test your strategic choices based on your strategy.

Plans never worked for me. Strategy thinking seems very natural and it doesn't look risky at all for me! I'll apply it 😁

I really love this. As a visual artist, it feels especially pertinent, yet genuinely not something I've heard of before. Society/productivity culture seems to focus so much more on plans, but I've always felt that I get the most done when I focus on strategy e.g. show up in the studio a certain number of hours vs. make a set number of artworks.

Loved this content. This breaks down the issue better than most way I have heard the message of strategy. I think I can apply this today!

Love how to the point and awesome this message is! Thank you as always for these nuggets of wisdom!

I was a little hesitant to watch this video because I was kind of expecting a bashing on introspection. I’ve heard a lot of people basically just say “stop thinking about yourself it’s stupid. Worrying gets you nothing, stop being so selfish, you’re not that important, stop making everything about you,” the shame route, but they never really say anything helpful. I definitely believe there is value in thinking about yourself in terms of self-reflection, self-discovery and bringing awareness towards your interests, values and behaviors, but it can definitely easily become self-rumination. The video helped me to see where that line is more clearly. Also very grateful for the validation and explanation on why our brains might be stuck in that unhelpful loop. It was a little bit healing for me I think. I felt relieved. When people play the shame game it seems to make the self-rumination worse (at least for me) Thank you for your thoughtful compassionate video😊❤

I love showing up to your podcasts and videos because of how well-researched, and thought provoking your content is! Thank you for all of your efforts.

i must say, i do love the mini-moves...

Yayyy on the strategic choices, love shorter episodes and your solo episodes are my favourite anyway! You always provide a lot of value, thanks for doing what you do💜

Good changes for the podcast. I also like weekly, even if it's shorter, over longer but less frequent. Gives me something to look forward to more regularly. And this concept of strategy over plans intrigues me. I've been wanting to shift in some areas of my life and this gives me a new concept to work with. Thank you!

I would LOVE a meta congnative episode!!! Sounds like something I would be able to apply, a bit of a missing link! Thank you 🌺

Great episode

Just a shadow work resource that I use seekingserotonin.com/category/shadow-work/

I so appreciated all the reminders! One can never have too many of them (especially when they're of immense value). It was encouraging to hear that having limiting beliefs doesn't inherently hold the power to prevent us from creating and doing our thing. Also please do take time off and take care of yourself!😊

Jemima Kirke is such a queen❤

I enjoyed listening to these reminders, thank you 😊💛 I‘m glad your being mindful with yourself and your content

michelle, tbh, ALL of your stuff is "the best stuff." not kidding

Focusing on helping others improves our self confidence since we have to believe we're valuable to the world if we're working to make a difference. It's a great reminder that neither life nor the world revolves around us.

You’re such a wonderful human being and a beautiful bride. Thank you

Being introspective is a double edged sword. This is a very helpful perspective. Thank you for bringing it to my awareness.

Not gonna lie, I saw 'metacognitive Therapy ' and expected a cultish video. This is an actually really good video, with a lot of good information and very nicely done! You've got a new subscriber!

Nice video. I'd just point out that we don't eat chocolate to get dopamine. We eat chocolate cause it tastes good (and the increase in dopamine reinforces the behaviour).

I love how this form of therapy sounds like it really helps you basically stopping focusing on just you, you, you (self). I see that with myself and others that you you just focus on yourself, everything feels worse, looks worse and we perceive everything as worse than it really is. It is so crazy when you start to notice it. I hope this therapy grows and really helps more. I will definitely be checking out your recce!

thank you so much 💛

6 months is too little. You have to atleast commit yourself for 2 to 3 years. Speaking from personal experience

This is brilliant, thankyou for making this. I've just stumbled upon this video and honestly think it's one of the most helpful videos I've seen on mental health, in quite a while! So thankyou again :)

This was so helpful. I am struggling with the ruminations and your journaling ideas sounds incredibly helpful. Thank you for sharing your podcast here!

Ooouuu, I just know this is gonna be good from the title haha. Can’t wait to listen to it! Thanks as always! ❤

Thank you Michelle, this is pure gold.✨

Needed this boost. Your content always inspires me to keep growing. Thank you for all you do!!!

yes please on the meta-cognition series (or at least one video)!
