Ep2: Life coaching (Anything I choose, opens my world)

This episode I am going to chat with a profession life coach, who is also my new housemate, Jeremy. Find Jeremy at thepacerco.com/strugglz.

0:30 Intro of this podcast: a live documentary with no script and no conclusion. No story or sucess advice promised.

3:30 First episode! Before, I didn't quite trust life coaching...

4:40 Session starts: how do we do a coaching session; how is it different from therapy; Jeremy's focus (Mind-Body)

6:00 what are my current issues

7:30 let my body decide what is the problem in priority? Or rather, my legs helps me refocus.

10:40 I've thought enough about my problems I feel it's time to do things rather than talking about it — for example, my complaints about my phd research field (cognitive science)

12:33 What stops me to write the review article aka complaint letter to my field? Reading articles make me fall asleep.

14:20 how to find good structures to complete my own project

15:00 My own knowledge organizing tool ("Question network") — And what stops my from using it?

16:43 re-viewing my waning enthusiasm — via my body cue.

18:38 My constant struggle: my new ideas not understood by others?

20:30 my question network can be anything thus I don't have a clear end-goal for it.

21:38 re-directing the topic of this session.

23:21 Jeremy picked up my key word: multi-tasking. What to do with a person who wanna "experience everything in life"?

25:17 Come back to my body. How to respond to the fact "I am not able to do everything in life" — not just by choosing one.

27:23 Battle: scientific rigor versus positive message to the mind!

32:00 "emotional freedom technique": anything I choose, opens my world

34:38 Final reflection: for someone always skeptical and want to be not wrong, where to ground the heart.
