HabitCoach_Template_1920X1080_EP.403-04.png

Ep. 207: Social Circle Review

TheHabitCoachEpisode207.png

Did you know that the origin of the word 'positive' comes from the old French word 'positif', which was a legal word and it meant 'formally laid down' or (in Latin) 'settled by agreement'. The word 'negative' on the other hand, comes from a word that meant 'to deny'. Isn't it fascinating that two words with such different origins are now used together so often. Today, 'positive' and 'negative' can mean many things. They can mean good or bad, they can mean 'yes' or 'no', and so on. We use these words everyday without much thought.

On this episode, Ashdin talks about using 'positive' and 'negative' in a way in which we can evaluate and choose who we spend our time with. Tune in to find out how we can do that.

TheHabitCoachEpisode205.png

Did you know that, before the industrial revolution, most jobs were in fact, 'Work From Home' jobs. Think about it - agriculture, craftsmanship, etc, are typically work-from-home kind of jobs.
Today, when we are having to work from home, we are finding it difficult to cope. We do not have the skills required to work from home, as they are a very different set of skills.
On this episode, Ashdin talks about how we can make 'Working From Home' a success, and it all starts with creating a ceremony around working. Tune in to find out how you can do that.

Ep. 204: Social Habits During Quarantine

TheHabitCoachEpisode204.png

Did you know that the longest solitary confinement sentence was 44 years!
Solitary confinement has been one of the worst ways to punish someone. This is because we are social animals, and we need social interaction to feel happy and to feel alive. As soon as that is taken away, we are left with our thoughts.

Right now, the entire world is in some form of confinement. We've lost our abilities to be free and venture out. We've lost the ability to be social, among other things that we used to take for granted.
Especially if you live by yourself, times like these may be exceptionally tough.
On this episode, Ashdin talks about the social habits we can keep during this quarantined time to make it the most social times of our lives. Tune in to find out how.

Ep. 202: Failing a Diet

TheHabitCoachEpisode202.png

Did you know that the average adherence to a diet is about 40%? Numerous studies have been done on diets, and it was found that only 40-60% of people complete a diet. And almost everyone will cheat on a diet a couple of times at least. This is because following a diet is like a challenge, it's a sheer show of will.

On this episode, Ashdin talks about what is the right way to deal with failing a diet, or a similar challenge. Do you start all over again? Do you continue and power through the rest of the diet? Tune in to find out.

HabitCoach_Template_ep.199_1920X1080-04.png

Did you know that the origins of 'Casual Fridays' started in Hawaii? They started a trend called aloha Fridays.

Although, in sales, a stricter dress code was what worked.

TheHabitCoachEp196.png

Did you know that most ancient cultures had no word to describe the word 'blue'? Nowhere in Greek mythology is the word to describe blue used. They talk about red, black and white.
This led to the question. If we don't have a name for something, do we recognise that it is there? Turns out, no we don't. We have to constantly expand our consciousness to see more.
Holi is a good reminder to add colour to your lives. On this episode, Ashdin talks about how we can live a more colourful life, full of new interesting things, with no more monotony. Turn into the episode to find out how.
