Impulse shopping in an experience we've all had, the feeling of buying something you know you don't really need, but you want it desperately in the moment. Often during this decade we begin earning "adult money" for the first time and that means we can begin spending as a way to emotional regulate. Had a bad day? Buy a new pair of shoes. Been through a breakup? Shopping spree. There are so many ways that companies encourage this behaviour through flash sales and low stock sales, creating a sense of urgency and getting us to spend. So, in today's episode we break down the psychology behind impulse shopping and retail therapy. 

We are joined by Alex from the hit podcast, Two Broke Chicks, to provide us with the dos and don'ts of shopping and overspending in our 20s, breaking down the emotions behind buyers remorse, and how to be wiser with your money during this decade.

This week on The School of Greatness podcast, I had the pleasure of sharing my conversation with David Goggins, someone who has mastered the art of pain and embracing his discomfort zone. Your brain is the most complex organ in your body. It needs to be pushed, tested, and challenged everyday to create mental strength. The only way you’ll ever strengthen the most powerful organ in your body is by diving head first into your discomfort zone. We don’t like to be uncomfortable, but facing that pain head on is the only way we can ever succeed or progress. Are you ready to push past your mental limits?

David Goggins is an incredible man who has undergone insane amounts of stress, pain, and tragedy only to unlock his true potential in life. 

David is the only member of the U.S. Armed Forces to complete SEAL training (including two Hell Weeks), the U.S. Army Ranger School (where he graduated as Enlisted Honor Man), and Air Force Tactical Air Controller training.

He is indisputably one of the world’s best endurance athletes. He has completed over 60 ultra-marathons, triathlons, and ultra-triathlons, setting new course records and regularly placing in the top five. He once held the world record for pull-ups, completing 4,030 in 17 hours, and he is a sought-after public speaker, coach of numerous sports teams, and he also coaches people in Fortune 500 companies. In 2018, he published a book called You Can’t Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds which helps tons of people tap into their true potential. He says that on average, people are only using 40% of their potential. David wants to raise that number significantly. 

In this episode you will learn

• What made David apply for the Military.
• What David believes the key to life is.
• Why getting sick was the best thing that ever happened to David.
• About the 40 Percent Rule.
• How to retrain your mind when you want to seek comfort.

How many of us spend our free time on social media?

Do you find yourself becoming unproductive because of it?

Today, we will unravel the ways in which social media can subtly control our minds and lifestyles. The journey begins by acknowledging that if we don't learn to use technology consciously, it can end up consuming us entirely. Step by step, we navigate through practical strategies to regain control and create a healthier relationship with social media. 

These strategies guide us toward fostering more meaningful interactions, like detaching from devices during social gatherings, creating 'no technology' zones in our homes, and engaging in curious and vulnerable conversations with loved ones. We also learn the importance of transforming from passive consumers to active creators. 

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How addictive social media can be
• How to develop a healthy screen time
• How to spend your time more productively
• How to make genuine connections in person

Through these steps, we embark on a transformative journey towards mastering technology, ultimately reclaiming our presence and connection in the digital age.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

• 10:42 Step #1 On social media, people talk about themselves 80% of the time
• 12:39 How can we shift into connecting with others on social media?
• 15:51 Step #2: Do activities without your phone with your friends
• 20:00 Step #3: Create a ‘no technology’ zone in your home

Think about the last time you did something you knew was wrong. How did you explain your actions to yourself? All of us tell stories about why we do the things we do. We justify our failures, and come up with plausible explanations for our actions. This week, Elliot Aronson explains the mental processes behind this type of self-justification, and shares how he helped develop one of the most widely-known concepts in psychology: cognitive dissonance.

If you're interested in learning more about the origins of cognitive dissonance, listen to our episode When You Need It To Be True.

Derek Condit – Psychic/Medium/Energy Worker

How Derek perceives energy:

“Individuals such as myself are sometimes called ‘seers’. I prefer to describe myself as a ‘frequency perceiver’. With a combination of natural born intuition and many years of self-expansion and training, I’ve learned to perceive our reality through not only my 5 physical senses, but also through my chakras. Thus perceiving our reality from not only the physical reality, but also the metaphysical reality.

Using these expanded understandings and abilities (which we all possess), I can not only see spirit guides, angels and past loved ones, but also communicate with them. With the understanding that time doesn’t truly exist, what are often called ‘past lives’ or ‘concurrent lives’ can also be perceived during a session.

Truly everything is energy and with the knowledge of how to match the frequency of an ‘already healed’ person, you can gain assistance in healing yourself through energy work during a session. Although I am a certified Reiki Master/Teacher, only ‘LOVE’ energy is used during sessions/healings. Not only complete energy body healings, but physical body healings can occur. ” – Derek
