Happy Doc Student Podcast

In this episode, Dr. Dani Babb exposes five dissertation myths, gives you the facts, and how to manage what is sometimes the cold, hard truth about this process. View the corresponding PowerPoint via YouTube here: https://youtu.be/unXp9wd8rtY Myth #1: Your dissertation needs to solve a huge problem. Fact: Your dissertation does not need to solve world hunger. It needs to contribute to the academic body of knowledge. Myth #2: Your dissertation problem statement needs to be broad enough that it can be applied universally. Fact: Your problem statement needs to be narrow and specific. Myth #3: Your dissertation will be published and read by the entire scholarly community. Fact: Your dissertation will be read by your committee, maybe some members of the college, but likely not by anyone else. Myth #4: You cannot move forward if you do not hit your required sample size. Fact: You can move forward without the required sample size (work with your committee on how to frame this). Myth #5: Your Dissertation Committee will agree about your work, then you can charge ahead. Fact: Your committee is comprised of individuals with differing perspectives; there will be disagreements.

His purpose is to provide simple solutions for optimizing physical, mental, and cognitive health and well-being. On today’s episode, we discuss the benefits of Tai Chi. Highlights 1.

Tai Chi calms your brain and relaxes your body. 3. The 7 brain abilities it impacts are: Perception, Attention, Memory, Self-Assessment, Language, Executive Function, Motor Coordination. 4. All 7 abilities are important for doctoral students, but especially Executive Function – the ability to make plans and execute them (and, or course, be nimble when life happens). 5. Once you learn Tai Chi, it takes only minutes a day to practice. 6. There are many different styles of Tai Chi; to find one that works for you, check out Clint’s website below.

Maria Stefanidi is the CEO of Your Dissertation Coach, a coaching and consulting firm that helps undergrad, post-grad and doctoral students overcome procrastination, prevent burnout, and implement powerful productivity systems to achieve their academic dreams. What is dissertation procrastination? Academic self-sabotage by delaying work that needs to be done to complete your degree. If you are prone to procrastination, your dissertation will suffer and so will you. Many students never finish the degree, not because they don’t have the raw skill set, but because they procrastinate and either convince themselves they will never finish OR they run out of time. Types of Procrastination 1. Trivial Procrastination – working on things that should not be your focus. 2. Confused Procrastination – putting off working on the dissertation because you don’t know how to proceed. 3. Time Crunch Procrastination – a lack of time management skills leads you to put off tasks until the last possible moment. 4. Insecure Procrastination – difficulty getting or staying on task due to self-doubt. 5. Unorganized Procrastination – a lack of structure leads to delays because you aren’t sure what to do next.

Yogi Aaron is the co-Owner of Blue Osa Yoga Retreat & Spa in Costa Rica and is trailblazing a new path in the world of yoga by flipping the script. His teachings aim to help as many people as possible live a pain-free life so they can realize yoga's true intentions. He is the creator of the revolutionary approach to yoga — Applied Yoga Anatomy + Muscle Activation™ (AYAMA) and the online platform: The Yogi Club, host of the yoga podcast ‘Stop Stretching’, author of ‘Autobiography of a Naked Yogi’ and the forth-coming book ‘Stop Stretching! A New Yogic Approach To Master Your Body + Live Pain-Free'. Highlights: 1. Stress, trauma and overuse are major contributors to pain 2. A deep understanding of anatomy and muscle function results in being wary of stretching with the goal of being flexible 3. Pain can be exacerbated by stretching; stop stretching and use muscle activation instead (see the link below) 4. Stretching lowers the proprioception between the brain and the muscle; AYAMA does the opposite 5. Yoga is THE answer to so many human problems as it trains us that all the answers that we need are already within us 6. The premise of yoga is twofold: 1) We all have a life purpose and 2) we often struggle living out this purpose because we get in our own way 7. We are geniuses at creating our own suffering; yoga can relieve us from this suffering by awakening our potential and revealing our brilliance 8. The practice of yoga doesn’t have to require a lot of time; it can occur in a pause, a breath 9. A key teaching in yoga is about stability – without mental stability, you can’t focus your energy on your goals 10. Stop Stretching!

Andrew Kap holds one goal above all others: Genuine and Sustainable Impact. His perennial best-seller - "The Last Law of Attraction Book You'll Ever Need To Read" changed my life. Highlights: 1. Everything is energy – even your thoughts! 2. Like energy attracts like energy 3. If you’ve been thinking about something and it’s not coming to you, ask yourself: What is the energy I am emitting about this? Is it fear, doubt, and frustration OR excitement, anticipation, and confidence? 4. The goal is not to be in a high vibration all the time (this is impossible); the goal is to commit to a daily practice that is enjoyable and convenient 5. Positive thoughts are much more powerful than negative ones (thank goodness!) 6. Take 5 minutes a day to build your blueprint for happiness and success 7. Gratitude Blitz – set a timer for a few minutes and list everything you are grateful for 8. Scripting – Write, type or talk about the life you want as if it has already happened 9. If you don’t where to start with scripting, identify the things that aren’t working out for you and write the exact opposite 10. Your new life will cost you your old one; are you ready and willing to pay the price?

Nyce Jones is pursuing his EdD in Higher Education and Management. He is a pop culture educator and entrepreneur motivating minds one moment at a time. His unique use of Hip Hop culture and creative energy impacts anyone he encounters. Highlights: 1. Candid conversations with mentors can help you get clarity on how to reach your goals. 2. Do your due diligence to ensure a doctoral program will help you meet your goals – and that you are in the right program for YOU! 3. Before you say “yes” to a school, tour it or at least meet some key people virtually to gauge if it will be a good fit (this is a huge commitment you should not go into lightly). 4. When you create from an authentic place, your impact is enormous. 5. Refuse to be complacent - “Complacency is cancer for culture and innovation.” 6. Ask “WHY” like an 8-year-old. 7. Give yourself permission to be who you are – you are worth it! 8. You are either your best friend or your worst enemy (be your best friend). 9. Life happens and shifting your timeline might be the best decision ever (it is your timeline and no one else’s). 10. The world is on fire, and if you want to put that fire out you must put your self-care first. 11. Create something every day - “It is innate to create.” Connect with Nyce @nycejonez on FB, IG, and Twitter Check out Nyce’s podcast EMPOWER 610: https://youtu.be/1t-YPqE61ZM Get The Happy Doc Student Handbook: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0578333732 Other resources at: http://Expandyourhappy.com Support this free content: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/expandyourhappy Want to make my day?

This episode is best viewed as a video: https://youtu.be/fiaH3NLyCJo Lauren is an Integrative Energy Practitioner & Coach, specializing in the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT – also known as Tapping) for stress, anxiety, and chronic pain. Highlights · EFT/Tapping is like acupressure without needles · Tapping on these specific points gets energy moving (if this sounds weird, that’s OK; try it and see how you feel) · Tapping signals to the amygdala “you are safe” so you can think more clearly (research has found tapping decreases cortisol levels) · At the beginning of a session, give your feeling a number so you can track your progress after each round · Tap for as long as it feels good (a round is less than a minute to a few minutes – do it until you notice a shift) · If tapping is uncomfortable, just use gentle pressure · If you are in a place where you can’t “tap”, then you can regulate the nervous system by gently squeezing each finger on the sides of the nailbed · Tapping allows you to “come home to your house” · Adding statements helps you discover what is really beneath the surface of what you are feeling · Make sure you are saying the statements out loud · Tapping allows you to think about something differently, so you can feel differently and act differently so you get different results · Change the words as it feels right to you Tapping points (typically you will tap with your dominate hand) 1. Pinky side of the hand 2. Crown of head 3. Inside of eyebrows 4. Temples (side of the eyes) 5. Under the eye 6. Under the nose 7. Chin point/crease of chin 8. Fleshy part underneath of collarbone 9. Underneath the arm 10. Back of hand between pinky and ring finger How to add statements 1. Give a voice to the “bad stuff” (like anger, anxiety) 2. Allows you to tune into how you are really feeling 3. Other beliefs or memories might come up (it is a process) 4. Use what you are feeling in your body to guide the session 5. Start with a set-up phrase on the first tapping point (pinky side of the hand): “Even though I am feeling ----- I love and accept myself” (change the words if you need to so they feel right for you – if you can’t say “love and accept myself” it might be “I am acknowledging how I feel” or “That’s just how it is right now” 6. Then use a reminder phrase as you continue to tap on the other points “I am so ---" FREE Masterclass: https://www.mindshiftwithlauren.com/masterclass Get The Happy Doc Student Handbook: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0578333732 Other resources at: http://Expandyourhappy.com Support this free content: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/expandyourhappy Want to make my day?

We need space in the whirlwind of life to live our best life and to fully experience the world 2. Seasons (6 months to a year) of intentional imbalance are a part of life (note the word “intentional” and the concept of a “set period of time”; being stretched thin for more than a year will not serve you) 3. Remember: You are more than your work/doctoral program! 4. Learning how to rest is an investment, not just in terms of productivity and creativity but in terms of a meaningful human experience 5. Mind wandering is important (give those “ah-ha” moments a space to appear), and if being alone with your thoughts is difficult, explore unresolved trauma with a professional 6. Resting takes practice (be compassionate with yourself as you develop this skill) 7. Implementing a day of rest can be a game-changer (see free downloads above) 8. Know when technology is working for you…and when it is mastering you! 9. You do not need to be anti-tech to find value in unplugging from it 10. Don’t forget you are human and you don’t need to justify having meaningful human interaction, enjoying the sunshine, reading books, and feeding your mind with joyful things Some questions to ask yourself: · Have you taken time to develop a philosophy around technology? · Are you OK with letting your mind just wander? (remember the averse shock study?) · Are you ready to live life from the inside out (rather than the outside in?) · What small thing can you do to start making space in your life?

Dr. Abby Hamilton is a 2-time TEDx speaker, Filipino-American industrial/organizational psychologist, and author of Amazon Bestseller “Speak Up, Anak”. Dr. Abby helps people find their voice so they can be more and do more in life. The bamboo ceiling, a glass ceiling for Asian Americans, served as an inspiration for Dr. Abby’s dissertation. How can you be assertive without being ugly? When it is done right, it is beautiful! Communication styles 1. Passive – You don’t voice your opinion and let others lead the way. 2. Aggressive – You dominate the conversation without acknowledging the feelings of others 3. Assertive – A way of being firm but respectful, calm, professional dignified, and noble. Tips for being assertive in a beautiful way 1. Be aware of your lack of assertiveness 2. Look for moments where you can speak up for yourself 3. Use a technique – like the "Repeat Button". Come up with one sentence and just repeat it (in a calm and composed tone). It will be hard in the moment but makes your life easier in the long term (you won’t be carrying resentment, for example). STAY STRONG! Highlights · You are the CEO of your doctoral education – it is smart to be assertive · At some point you will be THE expert in your topic area. There will be a time when you OWN that. When you do, be assertive in your communication with your committee. · “Jesus was just a carpenter in his hometown.” · Your faculty are human too (don’t forget that!) · Know your worth. Know your value. Trust your voice. · Be a friend to your future self!

He founded Humans First to provide a one-of-a-kind consulting experience that analyzes people’s efficiency and energy by paying attention to their technology mindfulness. Highlights · The question to ask yourself is: Are you using technology in a way that serves you well? · Over 50% of GenZer’s are afraid to make or take a phone call (crazy, right?) · The average American spends 12 hours and 21 minutes a day (that’s 3/4s of our waking lives!) in front of a screen (this is not natural – so it’s not surprising there are negative consequences) · The average white-collar worker sends and receives 126 emails a day! (this is about 4 hours/day if you are spending an average of 2 minutes/email); add in meetings and the average person has only about 2 hours/day to spend on their job · Spend less time on emails/meetings when you learn how to communicate differently (this reduces stress and burnout) · The goal is to spend more time on the activities that matter most! · The practice of the 5-day work week is a century old; it’s time to rethink this – YES, a 4-day work week (8-hour days, not 10) is possible · People need to feel psychologically safe to NOT check their email constantly; one way to do this is through a clear written policy (email me: info@expandyourhappy.com for the template that Rob shared) · Email is the most addictive technology (it is addictive in the same way slot machines are addicting) Tips · Reduce email by checking it less · Set boundaries via clarifying the culture of communication and technology – do this in writing versus verbally (email me for the template Rob discusses – info@expandyourhappy.com) · Mark Woods podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1547113/7136806 · Communication is KEY! “The amount of love, success, and happiness in this world are infinite, so imagine how much love, success, and happiness we can all have together if all decide to put humans first.” Connect with Rob: https://www.humansfirst.us/ Get The Happy Doc Student Handbook: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0578333732 Other resources at: http://Expandyourhappy.com Support this free content: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/expandyourhappy Want to make my day?
