In today's podcast Paul speaks about a moment with one of his clients when they showed him a picture of how they had looked two years prior. “I’d love to look like this again,” they said — those words accompanying a photo of a gaunt, malnourished, rather anxious-looking person. At least, this was his suspicion. Our minds have a tendency to pull a specific situation from the past and gloss over it in a way that blinds us to the surrounding context that made it mundane, unpleasant or even unbearable. Today he talks about What is at the heart of a nostalgic attitude Why there is a disregard for why things had to change in the first place Nostalgia in relationships forgetting the arguments, sexual frustrations, disagreement and lack of shared values  Why it's not a unidimensional situation with an easy answer. There is no one easy, correct solution. Would returning to the past make us truly content? You may be interested in checking out Paul's blog post about nostalgia on Medium. Or his other blog posts a

In today's episode, Paul expands on a recent blog article he wrote about why we eat too much. When we hear that 'Diets Fail' it often speaks to those that start dieting out of a place of ind=security and therefore in this narrow definition all diets do fail. Today he explores that idea and chats about... How in modern times we have a caloric abundance and sedentary lifestyle The emergence of a huge wellness industry that provides good advice but doesn't engage with our WHY How we are starved of the actual ingredients we crave How dieting is often misunderstanding what we truly need Why we need deeper reasons to make new choices  Why we can't always battle food as it will always be there Different nutrition for different parts like our soul and inner peace The diet industry appeals to a narrow fragment of your psychology  Why we cannot connect with the WHY as so often we are just given the WHAT The industry is obsessed with deficits and overlooks connection and self-awareness Blog Article: https://pauldermody
