We've been doing a series on Personality & Relationships. We are taking you through the different preferences of the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, what each mean & how they can affect your relationship. In today's podcast we continue in part 2 of THINKING vs FEELING
"Thinkers" usually tell the truth, even if it's not very nice. They like to question what other people say and use logic to make decisions. They're good at organizing information and getting to the point quickly. They don't like to talk about their feelings too much and might ignore them if they don't make sense with what they're thinking. Thinkers want to help society by criticizing bad things and finding solutions to problems.
The other type is called a "Feeler." These people are more likely to be nice than truthful. They don't like to argue or disagree with other people. They're friendly and may talk a lot without being very organized. They care a lot about their feelings and other people's feelings, too. They don't like to think about things that might hurt someone's feelings. Feelers want to help society by doing good things that everyone agrees on and that make people happy.

We've been doing a series on Personality & Relationships. We are taking you through the different preferences, what each mean & how they can affect your relationship.
In today's podcast we tackle THINKING vs FEELING
1. Decision-making: Thinkers tend to make decisions based on logic and objective analysis, whereas Feelers tend to make decisions based on personal values and subjective considerations. Thinkers are more likely to prioritize facts and data, while Feelers are more likely to consider how their decisions will impact others and their emotions.
2. Communication style: Thinkers tend to communicate in a direct and analytical manner, focusing on the facts and details of a situation. Feelers, on the other hand, tend to communicate in a more personal and empathetic way, focusing on emotions and relationships.
3. Problem-solving: Thinkers approach problem-solving with a logical and systematic approach, breaking down complex issues into smaller, more manageable parts. Feelers tend to approach problem-solving in a more holistic and intuitive way, relying on their personal values and empathy to guide their decisions.
4. Criticism: Thinkers tend to be more objective and detached when receiving criticism, focusing on the logic and merit of the critique. Feelers may take criticism more personally and be more concerned with maintaining positive relationships.
5. Decision-making under pressure: Thinkers tend to remain calm and rational under pressure, relying on their analytical skills to make quick decisions. Feelers may struggle with decision-making under pressure, as they may become overwhelmed by their emotions and the impact their decisions will have on others.

Sensing and intuition are two different ways that people perceive and understand the world around them, it's how they take in and gather information. People who prefer sensing tend to pay more attention to what they can see, hear, touch, taste, and smell in the physical world. They are often very detail-oriented and practical. They enjoy learning through hands-on experiences and tend to be good at remembering specific facts and details.
On the other hand, people who prefer intuition tend to be more focused on ideas, possibilities, and connections between things. They enjoy looking at the bigger picture and thinking about what could be possible in the future. They often have a natural curiosity and enjoy exploring new ideas and concepts.
These different preferences can impact how people approach a variety of situations. For example, if you were planning a vacation with a friend who has a sensing preference, they might want to focus on practical details like finding a good hotel and planning out specific activities for each day. But if you were planning a vacation with a friend who has an intuition preference, they might want to brainstorm different possibilities and explore new and interesting places that you might not have considered otherwise.
Ultimately, there is no right or wrong way to perceive and understand the world. Both sensing and intuition have their strengths and can be useful in different situations. The important thing is to understand your own preferences and to appreciate and respect the preferences of others.

Part 2! Being able to know who you are and what you need is important. Our emotional needs can feel confusing sometimes because we can function without them being met but we do function in less optimal ways. Knowing if you are introverted or extroverted can help you understand situations that are better for you and why you may struggle in others.

This title may unsettle you. But rest assured we want you to let them do dangerous things...carefully. This will help them learn what they are capable of and also learn how to handle the dangerous situations in ways that they are less likely to get hurt. Keeping them out of harms way and never allowing them to confront difficult situations will often leave kids unsure and unable to take action for fear of failure.

Can losing 1 hour of sleep really make a difference? In short, YES! This Sunday is the start of Day Light Savings Time where many of us will change our clocks & "Spring Forward." Besides being exhausted the next day, why should we even care? Because there can be short term & long term effects while we not only lose this hour of sleep, but throughout the months of March - November we are getting less morning sunlight & throwing our circadian rhythms into a frenzy.
In just the week after Day Light Savings Time begins, research shows an associated rise in:
1. Cardiovascular disease, with a 24% higher risk of heart attacks
2. Injuries, including a 6% spike in fatal car accidents
3. Stroke rate, which increase by 8%
4. Mental health & cognitive issues, with an 11% spike in depressive episodes
5. Digestive and immune-related diseases, such as colitis, which increase by 3% in females over age 60.
