After Listening, You’ll Be Empowered To Beat Depression, Take Command of Your own Happiness, And Become More Effective.

– Fellow interview show host Eric Zimmer shares his personal philosophies and strategies that have helped him to produce one of iTunes Best of 2014 podcasts.

An old Cherokee told his grandson:

“My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, and resentment, inferiority, lies and ego. The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, and truth.”

The boy thought about it, and asked, “Grandfather, which wolf wins?”

The old man quietly replied, “The one you feed.”

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Depression is a lack of emotion, and makes you feel dead inside
• Depression hates a moving target- so exercise to fight off emotional numbness
• Don’t let your mood or your emotions drive you
• Bad things that happen in our lives are often taken too personal.  This is a mistake that can lead to depression
• How to be more effective:
  • The Pomadoro Technique
    • Work 20 minutes focused on just one thing
    • Take a small break.  5-10 minutes
    • Work on the next task completely focused on that one thing for 20 minutes
  • Take advantage of small amounts of time that you have.
    • Waiting for a bus?  In line at the bank?  use that time to do something productive.

Eric’s Top Tip To Feed The Good Wolf

• Play the Alphabet Gratitude Game.
  • Think of something your grateful for that begins with each letter of the alphabet.
