In this episode, we continue on the theme of Beliefs by exploring our negative self talk, and the ways in which this has been holding us back or causing us to self-sabotage any aspect of our lives. We'll go back in time to find out what the people around us said to us as children, and how this has become part of our self fulfilling prophecy that we explored in the previous episode.In this episode:3:05 - Deciphering how people think about themselves4:59 - This happens to all of us...5:53 - A silent destroyer of potential9:22 - Why I believe so strongly about the power of self-talk10:57 - Discovering your own negative patterns13:24 - The power of observation14:54 - Dissecting your negative self-talk17:55 - What blockages typically represent18:47 - Visualising belief changes along your path23:07 - Words of encouragementLinks & Resources:A Genius Little Exercise on Transforming Negative Self TalkWritten & Produced by Karin Pinter © 2024.Music by Grand_Project via PixabayMeditation music by Leigh Robinson from Pixabay Hosted on Acast.

One of the greatest obstacles we will ever face is what we believe to be true about ourselves. In this episode, we discuss how we formed our core attitudes, values and beliefs, and what we can start doing to change them if we notice we’re undermining ourselves.We learn so much without realising as children, and most of it actually has nothing to do with what we’re taught in school. What we really anchor in mentally and emotionally are attitudes, values and beliefs.In this episode:2:45 – Origins of our attitudes, values & beliefs (and the tools that helped me re-shape mine)6:06 – Virginia Satir*9:03 – A boy named Justin10:45 – Learning to clear the grey clouds12:17 – A message for all the Black Sheep13:05 – What’s in a country’s attitude and Belief System?14:07 – A deeper look at our beliefs17:01 – An example of a self-defeating Belief System18:10 – A Genius Little Exercise on Belief Systems25:06 – A personal tribute*I may or may not be pronouncing her last name correctly…Links & Resources:Virginia Satir: Resource 1 – Resource 2 A Genius Little Exercise on Belief SystemsWritten & Produced by Karin Pinter © 2024.Music by Grand_Project via Pixabay Hosted on Acast.

What happens if your own physical energy is blocking your personal development, and how do you change that?It’s time to get a bit scientific in today’s episode as we explore Genius from a physics perspective. This is part one of a mini series dedicated to Energy and how this impacts our human potential. We’ll be looking at energy from different angles.In this episode we look into some of the connections between the smallest unit of matter known to us and our physical bodies themselves, and how this impacts our thoughts and behaviours in a constant feedback cycle. Everything is connected, right down to an atomic level.In this episode:1:17 – What do atoms have to do with Genius?4:12 – Ionisation5:28 – Electromagnetic fields and Electromagnetic radiation8:33 – Health concerns10:57 – Something to draw (from)12:35 – How does being barefoot help?17:51 – Featured GeniusesLinks & Resources:The particle physics of youGamma activity accelerates during prefrontal developmentEffects of Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Radiation on Neurotransmitters in the BrainHow Does the Body Make Electricity — and How Does It Use It?Effects of Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Field Exposure on Neurophysiology The Earthing MovieCrystals for EMF protectionEarthing (US) Groundology (UK)Written & Produced by Karin Pinter © 2024.Music by Grand_Project via Pixabay Hosted on Acast.

In this episode we get a little brainiac. We begin to explore the relationship between mind and brain in order to help us optimise and improve our personal Genius. We get curious about our magnificent brain and how we can program it to develop our potential.We also start to unpack how these two statements impact us, and how we can impact them:“Neurons that fire together, wire together,” and “If you don’t use it, you lose it.”Think of the brain as being the physical hardware, and the mind as being the software that runs it. Both need to be taken care of, because if not, we are not functioning at our best.In this episode:2:12 – Our hardware and software6:15 – Why we’re better than computers8:37 – The problem with “I’m not going to change”9:49 – What real progress looks like13:57 – Ada Lovelace16:56 – A Genius little exercise in optimisation19:53 – Something we take for granted21:53 – System malfunctionsLinks & Resources:Turtle AcademyLeft Brain vs Right BrainHow our brain processes negative statementsA Genius Little Exercise in Optimisation  (downloadable PDF)The Brain That Changes Itself, Norman Doidge Hosted on Acast.
