Self-care is a term that’s been trending everywhere from the early stages of social media, but what does it truly mean?

Emotions can often affect our demeanor, and even our health. So, this week on Self-Improvement Atlas: The Personal Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella is joined by psychology professor Benjamin D. Rosenberg, Ph.D. to explore the world of emotions, and about how they affect us and we affect them. An associate professor and department co-chair at the psychology department at Dominican University of California, Benjamin D. Rosenberg, Ph.D. is a social-health psychologist with expertise in health behavior, research methods and statistics, and survey design. But most of all, he is a passionate instructor and mentor; collaborating with students on research is one of his favorite parts of being a professor. In this episode, Benjamin D. Rosenberg, Ph.D. shares that emotions serve three main purposes: to help us figure out how to manage major life events, to function as a motivator for our behavior, and to serve as a barometer for how we’re adapting to our environment. On top of that, he reveals that emotions are generally categorized by four quadrants, from low to high arousal, and positive to negative. Together, Marie and Benjamin D. Rosenberg, Ph.D. discuss the age-old debate of emotions being innate versus learned, and further examine the all-too-common pursuit of happiness and its missteps. So, tune in to this episode for an in-depth look into the world of emotions. Visit Benjamin D.

Meditation has often been a topic of discussion when it comes to inner peace, but rarely discussed are the effects of meditation on our workplace productivity. So, this week on Self-Improvement Atlas: The Personal Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella is joined by meditation teacher Tom Cronin to learn more about what meditation can do for our focus and efficiency. Having spent 26 years in finance markets as one of Australia’s leading bond and swap brokers, Tom Cronin had experienced a crisis point with his anxiety and chaos in the early stages of his career when he discovered meditation. Now the founder of The Stillness Project, a global movement aimed at inspiring one billion people to sit in stillness daily, Tom Cronin is passionate about reducing stress and chaos in people’s lives. In this episode, Tom sheds light on transcending meditation, which aims to take the mind away from stimulus and bring it to stillness, which, contrary to popular belief, is a dynamic field of activity. Describing transcending meditation as an infinite stream of consciousness, he recommends 25-45 minutes of practice to reap its intended effects. Together, Marie and Tom Cronin discuss the various habits that support the efficacy of transcending meditation, such as mindfulness, avoiding negative media, and high intensity exercise. So, tune in to this episode for an eye-opening conversation about how to harness meditation for improved focus and efficiency!
