It exists in the context... ⇢*🔗 This video title was inspired of course, by the original Carl Rogers quote, but also by the lovely Anna Howard, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLsjepPZKd0, alongside the substack article of the same name, https://www.henrikkarlsson.xyz/p/diaries - I made a point not to read or watch either of theseee because I am far too scared of accidental plagiarism, but as soon as I saw that video title I was like oh, I have things to say.🔗 The story of Meredith was from a book by Brad Stulberg, Master of Change: https://www.amazon.com.au/Master-Change-Everything-Changing-Including-ebook/dp/B0DG48NL6P/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=qOJjF&content-id=amzn1.sym.7153b2d3-487c-46f2-9cd8-b060e652f2e8&pf_rd_p=7153b2d3-487c-46f2-9cd8-b060e652f2e8&pf_rd_r=355-7641594-2976438&pd_rd_wg=6K41W&pd_rd_r=06e3a135-9507-431f-9d55-e6b90ee4f7a8🔗 The altered story of Marjorie was from Lance Dodes work, which I highly recommend: https://www.amazon.com.au/Breaking-Addiction-7-Step-Handbook-Ending-ebook/dp/B004HD61JK/ref=sr_1_1?crid=DXE9HIBJ3N1Q&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.1kxyD7yNzHnY_UJtzGX_6ZoZe9iG5LCEQR9eUHiYL0q2LG8j_oTHTimNqyrpDSFe.99Do7fzTIvS4nGYRjaQC_f_WiwHUEhLu2IYyyzTDbYQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=lance+dodes&qid=1781382211&s=digital-text&sprefix=lance+dod%2Cdigital-text%2C260&sr=1-1🔗 How To Get Rid Of Headache Or Migraine In 2 Minutes Or Less https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKGtv84aSjo🔗 This video is really about radical acceptance, which originated in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). It was developed in the late 1980s by psychologist Dr. Marsha Linehan and was also inspired by Buddhism. For a very modern version of radical acceptance, check outttt.. the let them theory haha.🔗 I really enjoyed this book about acceptance: https://www.amazon.com.au/Acceptance-Create-Change-Move-Forward/dp/1399707930/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2DTURUMQI7EP7&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.BtkrDfBHItOgDVmAD_JMfqBfZzh5rO4_cOM_01m9SnKxWeQF6Y5qQUAdaPBSE0Ar5eD4gtU833uae-4vpdYhK2q34eyYQsuXH6rpb6yZF7xu70d-V8M4hfX8x4wvjAcnCfGWvfwC5nEF0Pp0JBCfDg.bzrdGqKR89HVQCEiwbfAXVUU6TPHY3fDc-oC8nveOyU&dib_tag=se&keywords=acceptance+padraid&qid=1781382531&sprefix=acceptance+padra%2Caps%2C239&sr=8-3🔗 But if I'm being real, my understanding of acceptance stemmed way more from this book than anything else: https://www.amazon.com.au/Forgive-Good-PROVEN-Prescription-Happiness/dp/006251721X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1P9033T906N9P&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.2J9j8DKYGSRV_eJ3L6VVu3riheL9Wj1Xh2gQSakePNiFnlNhnhh89EZinqpuZnUy7isBWA-4nkvKSa4Lc7LQhdJc3TGc3M-EZaq4ZoY964S13rNI9DCdbh7T3ojbJuZKNNPpK-OM-7v_eKFfMKgtLQ.l1xlyQ9NmNzBpycQCPwmXp6EQ2lV0MQOHYIFimmUIe0&dib_tag=se&keywords=forgiveness+by+fred+luskin&qid=1781382600&sprefix=forgiveness+by+fred+lusk%2Caps%2C247&sr=8-1

There are always (at least) 100 ways to climb a mountain! 📝 For some changes, it also wouldn't make sense to try to apply the ideas in this video. 📝 For some brains, this approach might not be helpful at all. Always, where you can, try to experiment in small ways to check out what DOES suit you and how YOU operate before diving in and taking any ideas in this video as absolute fact.📝 Keep an open mind but also... take what resonates, leave the rest. 📝 I'm not a mental health professional, just a gal into shame-free, acceptance-based behaviour change.🪞 *Organise your Life with the Calm Productivity Notion Pack. ⇢*→ _"This notion pack is amazing!!

  *Podcast Update*: In case you don't quite get to the end of this video... Last year, I realised I was spreading myself a bit too thin with YouTube, this podcast, the membership, the book and more... and nothing felt like it was getting the attention it deserved.I made a lot of tweaks trying to make it work (that you've witnessed me making!), but I've finally decided it's time to simplify more intentionally and fully focus on just one platform: YouTube. The good news is that I’m still here and uploading every other week! Just over on  @muchelleb  and on Spotify / wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks for being with me on this journey.

Here are a few resources that you might enjoy... 🔗 Firstly, this paper on negative emotions and procrastination is a really interesting read: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12588926/#:~:text=In%20summary%2C%20most%20of%20existing,positive%20correlation%20between%20the%20two.🔗 Jud Brewer actually wrote a great article on the link between guilt/procrastination loop that I saw after starting to put together this video - great minds - (focused more on the reward of procrastination and body based curiosity) - this article introduced me to the research paper above: https://drjud.com/procrastination/procrastination-guilt/ 🔗 Jud Brewer also wrote Unwinding Anxiety, which goes in-depth on the idea of "mental" habit loops - he talks specifically about anxiety, but I've found myself applying the concepts in this book to much more: https://amzn.to/4tkVa1e 🔗 One of the first people I saw talk about the procrastination/guilt cycle is Dr David Maloney, who wrote a great book called Procrastination Decoded that you might enjoy: https://amzn.to/4tkVa1e 🔗 Michelle Segars book, The Joy Choice, talks about the rewarding experience of curiosity applied to health behaviours and exercise: https://amzn.to/4tkVa1e 🔗 If you're particularly interested in the idea of "prediction errors" triggered by "symptom deprivation" this wonderful book by Bruce Ecker talks in-depth about the process within Coherence Therapy: https://amzn.to/4tkVa1e 🔗 If the idea of surprise being a key driver of learning is of interest to you, give "How We Learn" a read. I really enjoyed this book: https://amzn.to/4vb4jvh 🔗 This book on compassion dives into our brain's threat avoidance system and how it can sometimes create efficiency but leave us unhappier: https://amzn.to/3Q40VlD

• The 4 ADHD strategies that actually changed how I think (not just what I do) 07.03.2026 10m

  Something I've talked about on my podcast is that a few years ago, I would have described myself as someone who had a pixie brain, that I did a lot to manage! Since then, I've received an ADHD diagnosis. While I don't love a label on a personal level (which is why you don't hear about it too often unless you're really into my content!), I also completely recognise that... I have HUGE portion of my audience with ADHD that find value in the ideas that I share. I also think these ideas are helpful for people who don't have ADHD but sometimes need a little guidance in the productivity / getting things done / feeling good arena, so don't think that you won't benefit if that's you!

• How to Become a Better Version of Yourself : Best of GWI 2025 27.12.2025 8m

  Hey!This month I’m sharing a “Best of 2025” series, with repeats of some of the most loved episodes from this year that are particularly relevant around the Christmas / New Year period! Please enjoy these episodes. I’m taking the first half of Jan off, so new episodes will return in the second half of January.A heads up on some 2026 changes that you'll see come the new year: → The podcast is moving to audio-only! Video will appear exclusively on my main channel, http://www.youtube.com/muchelleb. I'll upload the audio podcasts to the YouTube channel for you to listen to if you're a dedicated YouTube listener rather than a Spotify listener. This keeps my main channel and my podcast more distinct and allows for more sustainable content creation. Plus, I love a little audio yap!→ I'll continue sharing short deep-dive style episodes focused on just one topic per ep, treating this podcast as a bit more of a playground for my main channel videos - as I did for the November experiment.→ I'll also be integrating these episodes with my newsletter a lot more, so if you aren't signed up for that already, be sure to: https://www.muchelleb.com.au/#:~:text=look%20forward%20to-,How%20to%20create%20a%20life%20that%20feels%20good,-Sign%20up%20toIf you want to see me in December, I’ll still be uploading on my main YouTube channel (MuchelleB): http://www.youtube.com/muchelleb.
