Intentional Living and Personal Development

 

Prioritizing personal development is a staple of an intentional life, yet listeners overwhelmingly report that they have neither the time nor the energy to pursue good habits.

The result? We tend to focus on our personal development only when a problem occurs. But by then, it’s too late to proactively make a change.

Today I speak with Calum McGuigan. After experiencing a panic attack while driving with his child in the backseat, Calum made a life change, then another; next, he embarked on a journey toward improving all facets of his life. Fast forward a few years: Calum left his job to create Shape & Foster, a personal development app that helps you proactively address your finances, fitness, life goals, nutrition, and more.

Calum and I discuss why sticking with your own personal development is the epitome of intentional living; he offers practical tips backed by research so you can foster good habits for the long haul, too.

Here’s a preview of today’s episode:

[5:35] The importance of being proactive in your personal development (as opposed to being retroactive)

[19:15] Why creating a ‘Culture of Positivity’ matters when habit building

[19:45] How to stack habits as a means of creating lasting change

[27:15] How to use the Drill Down Method to maintain mental well-being

Lights Out

Fossil fuels power our modern lives, and yet fossil fuels are also powering global warming. Because many of us lack the self-sufficient skills necessary to survive an extended power outage event, we are one thing and one thing only: vulnerable.

We have become over-reliant on the very thing that's destroying our planet. On today's show: Imagining the ways in which modern life, interpersonal connections, well-being and more would change in a hypothetical, fossil fuel-free world.

 

Here's a preview:

[6:00] We are so reliant on electricity that we are incapacitated without it. This is a problem!

[11:00] In the event of a 2-weeks plus outage, modernity would look a lot different

[24:00] Is minimalism late stage capitalism personified?

[28:00] Without fossil fuels, we'd be circular

[30:00] What research says with regard to the wellness benefits of working with our hands
