We spin off a few topics on this episode of ITCM. The first tangent is around social media etiquette – Do you send people FB messages instead of emails so you can see if they have read them? How do you respond if they haven’t read them?! How do you use / not use your phone whilst you are with people in social situations Whose calls do you screen or accept? What is rude anti-social behaviour and what is not? We also talk about what it takes to cultivate patience in life, especially when circumstances and scenarios feel like they are conspiring against us.

Fresh from Marcus & Sarah welcoming Tommy Alexander Pearce into the world, the guys discuss some of the lessons that a major chapter in life brings. Including – Seeing the magic in everyday, particularly in the parts of your life which were once dreams and you now “take for granted” Recognising the difference between what you’re good at, and what you’re willing to master Knowing that there is nothing wrong with living your life the way you do right now, and that often a serious dose of hard work is what’s required to take the next step.

For the first time on ITCM, the guys get stuck in to health – predominantly the mindset around decisions around food and exercise. However, in true ITCM fashion, the principles discussed go far beyond health; they transcend all other areas of life – from relationships, career choice, growth and more. The post ITCM 92: When You Know What You Want to Change But You’re Not Changing appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

Marcus is reading Essentialism by Greg McKeown, and LT has read The Paradox of Choice by Barry Schwartz, and both books discuss the gross domestic impact of today’s modern choice-ridden lifestyle – decision fatigue.

Marcus & Laurence are fresh back from The Wellness Breakthrough and a key part of the conversation comes back to what it is that drives us to do what we do; to reach for our dreams; to play a big game.

Marcus doesn’t like reading eBooks or on kindles. Laurence detests emails (particularly the ones from Marcus!). Marcus loves screen time in the day time and avoids it at night. Laurence doesn’t spend much time in front of a screen during the day. Both like events for the humanity of it all. Where do you draw the line in this high-tech world in order to avoid anti-social behaviour and screen hypnosis? A great discussion about living in the modern world.

Marcus has just completed a biography on Michael Jackson and can’t help but feel for the sacrifices people make in the pursuit of following their genius. Laurence continues the discussion by raising the concept of “suffering” in order to leave our legacy, and together, the guys ask each other (And you, the listener) whether we are truly doing all we can to live the lives we were born to live.
