THIS EPISODES BOOK

THE JOY OF MOVEMENT: How Exercise helps us Find Happiness, Hope, Connection, and Courage.

Does exercise have such values, and if so, what are they? Kelly McGonigal has written a fascinating book on the complex links between physical movement, mental health, and prosocial behaviour.

The Joy of Movement illuminates why we feel most alive when in motion, and how exercise builds social connections, both while we’re working out and during the many hours a day that we’re not.

EXERCISE HAS POWER! Just like Yoga, take a deep breath and stretch beyond your comfort Zone. Like a dance class- that feeling at the beginning of class worried and discouraged but the music and movement would transports you to a state of optimism. Movement has the power to shift a person’s mood. It has the power to send someone back into the world renewed with hope. Movement is a way to practice self-care, an opportunity to tackle challenges, and a place to make friends.

LET'S RETHINK WHY MOVEMENT MATTERS TO US...

When your brain takes over your thoughts, attacks your self-worth, questions your abilities, overpowers you with cravings, or attempts to dictate your actions. Do you ever wonder where did these negative beliefs and doubts come from? Where did that self-sabotaging sometimes avoiding behaviour come from?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING THAT YOU WANT TO STOP? This book is about Standing Up for Your True Self—–Saying What You Really Think and Feel and Acting in Accordance with Your True Interests.

WHAT ARE YOU NOT DOING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO?

MAKING THE BRAIN WORK FOR YOU

TODAY’S BOOK

THE CONFIDENCE CODE: The Science and Art of Self-Assurance

Confidence. We want it. We need it. Is confidence hardwired into the DNA of a lucky few, or can anyone learn it? Which is more important: confidence or competence? Why do so many women, even the most successful, struggle with feelings of self-doubt? Is there a secret to channeling our inner confidence?

Let's explore this informative and go through this practical guide to understanding the importance of confidence - and learning how to achieve it!

Working women today are better educated and more well-qualified than ever before. Yet men still predominate in the corporate world. In The Confidence Code, Claire Shipman and Katty Kay argue that the key reason is confidence.

This book goes beyond the advice to lean in. Instead, they offer the inspiration and practical advice we need to close the gap and achieve the careers we want and deserve.

Let's learn from world’s leading psychologists who explain how we can all choose to become more confident simply by taking action and embracing risk, and how those actions change our physical wiring. They examine how a lack of confidence impacts our leadership, success, and fulfillment. Ultimately, they argue, while confidence is partly influenced by genetics, it is not a fixed psychological state. That’s the good news.

Bottom line is you won’t discover confidence by thinking positive thoughts or by telling yourself (or your children) that you are perfect as you are. You also won’t find it by simply standing tall and faking it. But it does require a choice: less people pleasing and perfectionism and more action, risk taking, and fast failure. On all levels, our talents are not being fully realized. We as women are stalling because, all too often, we don’t see, or can’t even envision, what’s possible, strive for perfection fear failure, or people please.
