This episode explores a surprising and deeply uncomfortable idea: insecurity may not actually be the opposite of gaavah. It may be a subtle form of it.

Drawing from a conversation with Rabbi Levi in Bnei Brak, we unpack the difference between old school gaavah, the loud arrogance we all recognize, and the quieter version many of us struggle with today: building our identity around external validation.

Careers. Status. Money. Appearance. Intelligence. Even ruchnius.

Using the mashal of Jenga blocks, the episode explores what happens when we slowly replace our true identity, our neshama and connection to Hashem, with the fragile “paper towels” of social approval and comparison.

Topics discussed include:
• Why modern life can increase insecurity
• The connection between self esteem and gaavah
• How society teaches us to measure ourselves externally
• The difference between purpose and identity
• Why comparison quietly disconnects us from Hashem
• Recognizing subtle forms of gaavah during Sefirat HaOmer
• Rebuilding identity around the soul instead of validation

This is not an episode about feeling smaller.
It’s about remembering how much bigger we really are.

In this powerful conversation, Charlie Harary sits down with his Rav, Rabbi Moshe Levy, to explore what Sefiras HaOmer is really asking of us. The period between Pesach and Shavuos is a workshop for the soul. Hashem gives us a 'magnifying glass' during the Omer: a rare window to see the inner midos driving our everyday choices, reactions, and patterns.

Follow along this eye opening episode for a new Omer experience that brings you towards receiving the Torah.

Listen in as Charlie interviews Rabbi Moshe Levy about what the the end of Pesach is about and how we can access its power.

Join us in a meaningful preparation for Rosh Hashana.

Torah.Episode 19:
Charlie explains why the Torah omits a specific date for Shavuos – because each year, we are meant to re-experience the giving of the Torah as if it's happening anew. He urges us to reaccept our spiritual mission, recognize our unique identity as Hashem’s chosen nation, and approach Shavuos not as an anniversary, but as a fresh proposal from Hashem. This episode challenges us to live with unwavering faith, loyalty to Torah, and a deep desire to bring Hashem into every area of our lives.

Episode 18:
As the Jewish people endured 2,000 years of exile, they preserved their identity through Torah learning and unwavering commitment to their faith, despite intense external pressures. However, the rise of movements like the Haskalah and Reform in the 18th and 19th centuries introduced new ideological challenges, seeking to modernize Judaism at the cost of traditional observance, ultimately leading to widespread assimilation and spiritual vulnerability. Yet, even in the face of these challenges, Jewish leaders have continually called for a return to Torah as the blueprint for Jewish survival and connection to Hashem, reminding us of the critical importance of spiritual integrity.

Episode 15:
As the Jewish people rebuild the Beis Hamikdash in Israel, they encounter a new challenge with the rise of Hellenistic influence brought by Alexander the Great. This cultural clash introduces Greek philosophy, art, and secularism, gradually eroding the spiritual unity of the Jewish nation. The internal struggle between traditional Torah values and the seductive appeal of Greek culture sets the stage for the eventual Maccabean revolt, leading to the miraculous events of Chanukah.

Episode 14:
As the Jewish people enter the first exile after the destruction of the First Temple, they find themselves in the Persian Empire, struggling to balance their survival with their spiritual identity. The story of Purim highlights the tension between pragmatic decisions and unwavering loyalty to Hashem, as seen in Mordechai's refusal to bow to Haman despite the immense personal and communal risk. This episode emphasizes the importance of maintaining a clear allegiance to Hashem, even in challenging circumstances, and the power of unity and faith in overcoming existential threats.

Episode 11:
As the Jewish people prepare to enter the land of Canaan, they face a critical test of faith and trust in Hashem. Despite their experiences of supernatural guidance, they hesitate, opting to send spies out of fear and doubt, leading to the tragic outcome of Tisha B'Av. This episode highlights the critical connection between divine faith and true unity, emphasizing the need to keep Hashem at the center to overcome challenges and fulfill their spiritual mission.

Episode 10:
In this episode, Charlie Harary explores why the Torah was given in the desert rather than in the Land of Israel, emphasizing that Jewish identity is not tied to a specific land but to a divine mission. The desert symbolizes a spiritual foundation that transcends physical boundaries, highlighting that the Jewish people are defined by their Torah and connection to Hashem, not merely their land. As the episode wraps up, Charlie reviews the key principles covered in the series, including the divine mission, exclusive allegiance to Hashem, and the primacy of Torah as the blueprint for a life of spiritual purpose.

Episode 9:
As the Jewish people reach the pinnacle of their journey, they receive the Torah, not just as a set of rules but as a divine playbook for living a meaningful life in the physical world. Charlie emphasizes that Torah is the guide for infusing every aspect of the mundane with holiness, making the Jewish people living testimonies of Hashem’s active presence in creation. This episode explores the challenge of balancing spiritual transcendence with everyday life, highlighting the unique mission of the Jewish people to sanctify even the smallest details of the physical world.

Episode 8:
As the Jewish people approach the moment of Matan Torah, they reach a critical spiritual milestone – true unity. This unity is not just about being physically together, but about aligning their collective purpose around Hashem and His Torah, as taught by the Maharal and others. True unity requires a shared higher calling, where personal desires are set aside for a greater mission, creating the spiritual readiness necessary for divine revelation.

Episode 7:
The story of the Exodus is not just a historical account, but a blueprint for overcoming spiritual challenges throughout Jewish history. As the Jews prepared to receive the Torah, they faced three primary foes: the isolation of being in the minority, internal challenges from the Erev Rav, and external threats from Amalek, which thrives on spiritual doubt and weakness. Strengthening faith and unwavering commitment to Hashem is the only way to overcome these persistent spiritual adversaries.

Episode 6:
In this episode, Charlie explores the complex reality of the Jewish journey in the desert, highlighting the influence of the 'Erev Rav' – a group that left Egypt alongside the Israelites but without fully embracing Hashem's kingship. Drawing from the Zohar and other classic sources, he breaks down the five categories of Erev Rav, each representing a spiritual distortion that can undermine genuine faith and commitment. Charlie emphasizes that while we should never judge others, it's critical to identify and confront these influences within ourselves, ensuring our allegiance to Hashem remains pure and unwavering.

Episode 5:

In this episode, Charlie explores how Hashem intentionally guided the Jews through a supernatural journey in the desert to teach them the essential lesson of complete dependence on Him. By breaking the rules of nature – providing manna from heaven, water from rocks, and guidance through clouds of glory – Hashem demonstrated that the Jewish people are not bound by natural limits when they place their full trust in Him. This divine training was crucial for their spiritual preparation to receive the Torah, instilling a deep, foundational reliance on Hashem as they approached Matan Torah.

Episode 4:

This episode explores the deep psychological and spiritual challenge faced by the Jews in Egypt as they prepared for the Exodus. It emphasizes that their greatest test wasn't just believing in Hashem but breaking free from the deeply ingrained cultural systems of Egypt, represented by the sacrificial lamb. To truly leave Egypt, they had to sever their emotional and mental attachments to these foreign influences, embracing an exclusive reliance on Hashem – a challenge that remains relevant for every generation.

Episode 3:

In this episode, Charlie explores the powerful lesson behind the command to sacrifice the Pesach lamb before the Exodus. Despite witnessing nine miraculous plagues, the Jewish people still needed to make a bold, public declaration of exclusive faith in Hashem by slaughtering an Egyptian deity – the lamb – and marking their homes with its blood. This courageous act symbolized the complete rejection of idolatry and the full acceptance of Hashem as their sole ruler, forming the foundation of their unique relationship with the Divine.

Episode 2:

In this episode, Charlie Harary revisits the foundational story of the Jewish people's formation – the Exodus from Egypt. He challenges the common understanding of this event, emphasizing that the purpose of the ten plagues was not merely to free the Jews but to reveal Hashem's presence to the entire world. By choosing the Jewish people as His firstborn, Hashem established them as the ultimate proof of His existence and ongoing involvement in the world, creating a lasting mission to be a light unto the nations.

Episode 1:

In this episode, Charlie Harary explains that Jewish holidays are not merely commemorative but opportunities to tap into the spiritual energy available each year. He focuses on Shavuos, emphasizing that it is not just a remembrance of Matan Torah, but a personal opportunity for each individual to receive their own portion of Torah. By counting the Omer and preparing for this time, we align ourselves to receive new spiritual insight and connection, transforming our relationship with Torah.

In this powerful 30-part series, Charlie Harary guides us through each step of the Seder with depth, clarity, and inspiration—revealing how this night isn’t just about remembering a past redemption, but experiencing personal freedom today.

Drawing from Torah, Chazal, and the teachings of great tzadikim, Charlie reframes the Seder as an opportunity to transform ourselves and our families. He uncovers the brilliance behind every nuance—from leaning and dipping to the words of Maggid and the mystery of Dayenu—showing how the night is designed not to retell facts but to immerse us in a living narrative that can awaken our emunah, connect us to Hashem, and elevate our entire year.

Whether you’ve led Sedarim for decades or are preparing for your first one, this series will help you tap into the magic of Pesach night and finally experience the Seder for what it truly is: a gateway to freedom, faith, and divine connection.

Shovevim is widely misunderstood. 

Shovevim is here to make SURE you get maximum pleasure and joy, not to stifle it!

There are two kinds of pleasures. One is easy to get, but cheap and fake. It leaves you feeling sick after. 

The other requires some work- you have to tap in. It's not easy to grab, but when you get it, you get unlimited joy and pleasure!

By detoxing from the fake pleasure, we can start enjoying real, lasting, satisfying pleasure.

Spiritual sickness happens when we ignore what our soul needs.

Life isn’t a competition. God designed a unique path for you—there’s no one else you’re racing against. This is about you and what’s right for you- only.

If you’ve ever felt burnt out or stuck in the cycle of “what’s next,” this episode will change your perspective. You’ll finally understand what you really need to feel happy and fulfilled.
Take a moment today and ask yourself: Is my soul sick? Am I really happy? Am I chasing the right things?

The Secular Trap: Western culture says you’re the center. Judaism says something greater is. This shift changes everything—how you see yourself, your challenges, and your potential.

Redefining Success: Competing to 'win' isn’t the goal. Truthfully, competing isn’t a Jewish theme! Real growth comes from aligning with values that are bigger than you.

This episode pulls back the curtain on the subtle ways secular culture impacts our mindset and actions and gives us a look into why our values are what they are. If you’re looking for a way to live with more clarity, meaning, and alignment, this conversation will challenge and inspire you.
Ask yourself today: Who’s at the center of my life? Is it all about me, or am I living for something higher? Take one decision or habit and consider how it could look different if you put a higher purpose at the center instead of yourself. Then, start small and try it.

I’m making choices and decisions in my life- but under it all, they are the result of my pre-programmed brain. I may, in fact, not be consciously choosing, without realizing it!

Algorithms amplify bias, trapping us in familiar thinking.

Growth comes when we embrace uncertainty and challenge our comfort zones.

Trusting a higher plan helps reframe challenges as opportunities.
Today, when things don’t go as planned, break your program! Pause and say: “I don’t run the world. Who knows if this is good or bad?” Try it once and see how it changes your mindset.

Familiar ≠ True: Your brain favors what feels familiar, not what’s true. Awareness is key to breaking this cycle.

Discomfort Drives Growth: Growth happens when you step outside your comfort zone and explore new ideas.

Metaphors Teach Depth: The physical world offers lessons for spiritual growth—if you’re willing to look deeper.

This episode will help you break free from old patterns, challenge your assumptions, and embrace growth in your mindset, relationships, and spirituality.Call to Action:
Listen to someone with a different perspective today. Don’t argue—just hear them out and reflect on what you can learn.

Games satisfy our need for structure and progress.

Quick tasks feel productive but pull us from meaningful work.

Deep focus beats scattered effort every time.

Growth happens when you push past surface-level comfort.

Feeling stuck in busyness? Learn to break free, focus deeply, and create real impact.

Choose one uncomfortable task today. Do it. Grow.

Charlie explores how to focus on what truly matters. He offers practical insights to help you avoid the regret of looking back and realizing you spent too much time living someone else’s life.

Key Takeaways:

Your life has its own mission. Stay focused on what’s meaningful to you, not someone else’s version of success.

Comparison distracts. The more we focus on others, the harder it is to stay aligned with our own purpose.

What you prioritize shapes your life. It’s not about doing everything but about doing the right things well.

Regret comes from misalignment. Reflecting on your values now can help you avoid looking back with “what ifs.”

Your life reflects what you prioritize. The earlier you focus on what really matters, the more fulfilling your life will be. Think about one area in your life where you’re prioritizing someone else’s expectations over your own values. What’s one change you can make today?

Listen now to gain clarity on how to live according to what matters to YOU.

Key Takeaways:

You are significant because you’re a child of Hashem, and your mission has purpose.

Don’t let past failures or societal labels limit your potential.

True fulfillment comes from living with intention, not seeking external validation.

What’s your mission today? Do it with energy and focus—as if the world depends on it.

The Transformative Power of Questions: Asking “Why am I doing this?” creates self-awareness and opens your mind to a deeper understanding of your goals and behaviors. The value lies in the questioning, not necessarily the answers.

The Journey Over the Destination: True joy is found in striving and growing, not merely in reaching the goal. The process of self-discovery is the reward.

Understanding Mimetic Desires: Much of what we pursue isn’t innate but imitated from our environment. Recognizing this can free us from chasing what doesn’t truly satisfy.

Distinguishing Needs from Wants

The Danger of Dysfunction: If your environment feeds unhealthy desires, it can steer you away from genuine fulfillment.

3. Happiness Starts Within: True, lasting happiness doesn’t come from external successes. It’s cultivated from a deeper, spiritual connection to your inner self.
4. The Role of Significance: We all crave to feel significant, but misplaced sources of validation can steer us away from our true potential.

 Did you know your greatest obstacles aren’t out there—they’re within? In today’s episode of The Daily Boost, we dive deep into the invisible battle between your inner and outer worlds, and why mastering the inner world is the secret to living with purpose, control, and joy.

Main Takeaways:

The Inner and Outer Worlds: Your outer world is the 'game' you’re playing, but your inner world—the 'controller'—determines how you play. Learn to separate the two to live intentionally.

Triggers and Reactions: Everyday moments, like a comment or a passing thought, can hijack your focus and mood. Awareness is the first step to reclaiming your control.

Inner Work Matters: Success in the outer world starts with refining your inner world—your thoughts, feelings, and reactions. Character traits like jealousy and pride can derail you, but they’re fixable with effort.

Homework for Growth: Today’s action item: Simply notice when your inner world is affecting your outer actions. Label the difference to start building clarity and control.

Visualize the Game: Picture life as a video game—your outer world is the screen, and your inner world is the controller. How you manage the controller shapes the entire experience.

This episode is a wake-up call for anyone feeling stuck, reactive, or out of balance. It’s not about changing the outside world—it’s about shifting how you see and respond to it. By tuning in, you’ll learn to start mastering your inner life, the true foundation for better relationships, deeper spirituality, and lasting success.

In this debut episode of our new series on The Daily Boost, Charlie Harary dives into the secret battle between our outer reality and our inner world, revealing how jealousy, lust, and the pursuit of honor can pull us away from true fulfillment.

The Two Worlds We Live In: There's the external world of actions and interactions, and the internal world of thoughts and emotions. True joy and strength come from mastering the inner world.

The Danger of Disconnection: You can have everything externally—success, relationships, material comfort—but still feel disconnected or unfulfilled if your inner world is out of balance.

Three Traits That Steal Your Life: Rav Eleazar HaKaapar’s timeless wisdom teaches that jealousy, lust, and the pursuit of honor disrupt your internal world and prevent you from thriving.

Jealousy’s Power to Distract: The first of the three traits, jealousy, takes us out of our own lives by fixating on what others have instead of appreciating and building our own.

A Path Forward: Focus on controlling your inner world, not just your external circumstances. This shift is the key to unlocking joy and strength in life.

If you’re struggling to feel present, fulfilled, or in control of your emotions, this episode will give you the mindset shift you need. Charlie’s relatable stories and deep insights will inspire you to take charge of your inner world and rediscover your purpose.

Why do some people rise up during a challenge and some shut down, break down?

In part one, we discussed the different ways we react to challenges. 

Today, Charlie begins to explain how we can tap into the higher ways of reacting like giving, resilience, sacrifice, courage, by beginning to understand how challenge affects us physically.

What it does to our body.

How our brain reacts.

How survival mode affects us without us even thinking about it. 

And how we can get stuck in survival mode for a lifetime if we don’t do something about it.

Before we can rise up, we have to understand what brings us down and how.

This episode will clarify why so many react in fear, despair and brokenness.

See you next time to start building resilience!

There is a common and beautiful question we can ask ourselves to help us discover our purpose:

How do I use what I have (resources, knowledge, challenges) to help other people?

But most people are so busy looking for a huge cosmic, macro “life project,” when most probably your purpose is right in front of you. 

So today, look at your life and ask yourself, where are you needed? Who in your life really needs you? Your child? Your spouse? Is there a mitzvah in front of you? A person?

Don’t look for a big important job. Look at what’s in front of you today, and how you can take care of that with the most energy, enthusiasm, and holiness!

That’s how you find your purpose!

In this episode, we explore the intriguing customs associated with Rosh Hashanah, particularly the tradition of consuming symbolic foods before the formal prayers begin. It may seem peculiar at first, similar to wordplay or a game, but there's a deeper meaning to this practice.

Charlie shares a beautiful insight that reframes our understanding of these symbolic foods, known as 'simonim.' These foods are not mere word games or puns; they are triggers for blessings and prayers. They represent a proactive approach to co-creating one's future. Instead of passively waiting for divine judgment, Rosh Hashanah encourages us to take an active role in shaping our destinies.

As the episode unfolds, we discover that these simonim serve as reminders of our ability to transform life's experiences into blessings. By connecting everyday items like dates, pomegranates, honey, and other foods to specific prayers and intentions, we elevate our perspective on life. We learn to respond positively to challenges, hoping for the best, and praying for the best outcomes.

This practice reflects the idea that part of our judgment is based on how we react to the gifts and challenges that life presents. By using these symbolic foods as tools for introspection and blessings, we signify our commitment to making the most of what we have been given.

Join us in this enlightening episode as we explore the profound concept of simonim on Rosh Hashanah, reminding us to actively participate in shaping our future, not just through prayer, but through the transformation of everyday experiences into blessings and positivity.

The episode begins with a fascinating story about two strangers who become fast friends during law school. John and David, from different backgrounds, forged a close bond that seemed unbreakable. However, as life went on, they drifted apart. Fast forward 20 years, and their paths unexpectedly cross again, leading to a twist of fate that none could have predicted.

The story takes a thrilling turn when David, facing a dire predicament involving a series of traffic violations, fears the worst. He recounts a nerve-racking courtroom scene where his future hangs in the balance, and an unexpected savior emerges from his past.

The host draws a profound parallel between David's courtroom experience and the essence of Rosh Hashanah. It's a day of solemn reflection and self-assessment, where our deeds are scrutinized. However, it's also a day to rejoice, for the Judge is none other than the One who loves us unconditionally.

The episode explores the idea that, just as David found unexpected mercy in an old friend, Rosh Hashanah reminds us that our Judge is a loving and benevolent Creator. It's a day to trust in His boundless love and to strive for a year of personal growth.

Join us in this thought-provoking episode as we unravel the paradox of Rosh Hashanah – a day of judgment and joy, where faith and reflection intertwine to create a unique spiritual experience.

Charlie begins by addressing the common challenge of quickly losing interest in new subjects. He emphasizes the importance of going beyond surface-level knowledge and suggests a solution: diving one inch deeper than you initially planned. By striving to understand a topic at a level where you can teach it, you gain a deeper comprehension and retain information more effectively.

Drawing inspiration from Richard Feynman, the renowned physicist and educator, Charlie encourages listeners to imagine themselves teaching the subject matter as a way to gauge their understanding. This approach helps solidify knowledge and ensures a comprehensive grasp of the material.

Charlie advises setting clear boundaries around the subject you wish to learn. For instance, if you're interested in investing, define the specific area or type of investment you want to focus on. By narrowing the scope, you can avoid getting overwhelmed by an expansive field and concentrate on acquiring expertise in a defined domain.

Whether you're a lifelong learner or starting a new journey, Charlie's practical tips provide a roadmap for effective learning. By going deep into subjects and adopting a teaching mindset, you can enrich your understanding, cultivate expertise, and make the learning experience more rewarding.

Tune in to this enlightening episode with Charlie Harary and unlock the secrets to effective learning, enabling you to explore new subjects with depth and purpose.

Charlie starts by highlighting the significance of summer, a time associated with expansiveness and abundant light. Summer represents a golden opportunity to step outside our comfort zones and pursue the things we've always wanted to do. It's a chance to take action, try new things, and think through ideas that have been lingering in the back of our minds.

By aligning our goals with the energy of summer, we tap into the enthusiasm and excitement that this season brings. It's a time to push our boundaries, overcome obstacles, and make significant progress towards our dreams. Just as professional athletes operate in seasons, harnessing the power of sprinting and resting, we too can optimize our performance by embracing these cycles.

Charlie encourages us to reflect on our aspirations and embrace the expansiveness of summer. This season sets the stage for growth and provides the perfect backdrop to unleash our potential. By starting early and leveraging the energy of June or July, we can tap into the momentum and enthusiasm needed to achieve our goals.

There is so much good we do when we focus part of our attention on the outside world, and our contribution, but the question is:

Are we an outside in leader?

Or an inside out leader?

The difference between the two is the ultimate game changer.

Charlie helps us:

Take action now: It is so important to start immediately rather than waiting for the perfect moment. Get started on your goals, even if the circumstances aren't ideal. Waiting for perfection only delays progress.

Practice and persevere: Charlie compares personal growth to practicing a skill or exercise. Keep swinging, keep trying, and keep practicing. It may not come naturally at first, but with consistent effort, it will become easier over time.

Break it down: When facing long-standing challenges, identify the cues or triggers that keep you stuck in unproductive routines. Break down the problem into smaller, manageable steps, and focus on addressing the cues to create lasting change.

Embrace the journey: Understand that change takes time and don't expect instant results. Embrace the process of practice, failure, and getting back up. Building new habits and routines requires patience and persistence.

Be grateful: Charlie reminds us that the opportunity to change and grow is a gift. Appreciate the ability to improve your life and be grateful for having a brain and soul capable of making positive transformations.

As you continue on your personal growth journey, remember to stay happy and enjoy the process. Change is a gift, and you have the ability to make your life greater with each step forward. Embrace the power of taking action now, practice consistently, break down challenges, and cultivate gratitude. Connect the dots, persevere, and build habits that lead to positive change. Charlie Harary looks forward to hearing from you and encourages you to keep rolling towards your goals. Thank you for your time and dedication to unlocking your full potential.

Charlie helps us:

Reflect on the emotional charge behind our desires and motivations for change.

Recognize that our true identity extends beyond the limitations of the brain and resides in the soul.

Embrace the understanding that our soul is connected to the infinite and manifests desires and qualities such as kindness, generosity, and growth.

Understand that personal growth may feel hypocritical as we adapt to new ways of thinking and behaving, but it signifies progress and evolution.

Focus on identifying with our soul and its desires, allowing our mind to adapt and create systems that support our growth.

Embrace the journey of constant revelation and transformation, understanding that who we were yesterday is irrelevant in the face of our decision to be the best version of ourselves now.

By recognizing that our true essence resides in the soul and is connected to the infinite, we can overcome the limitations of our brains and tap into our potential for greatness. As we align our identity with our soul and adapt our thoughts and behaviors, we unlock the constant revelations of our spiritual greatness and manifest our deepest desires. Let go of the past, embrace your true identity, and live a life that reflects your highest potential.

Harary explains that systems are the functional aspects of everyday life, just like how society operates with interconnected systems. Systems provide reliability and allow growth and progress.

To avoid falling into the trap of repeating the same goals year after year, we need systems. He notes that successful individuals follow process-oriented routines, waking up at the same time, dedicating specific periods to certain activities, and structuring their lives meticulously. By creating systems for various aspects of life, such as waking up, food preparation, family interactions, and studying, one can establish a new normal that operates automatically.

The goal is for these systems to become ingrained in daily life, so they require less conscious effort. This creates space in the mind to dream, set new goals, and aspire to greater achievements. With the foundation of solid systems, individuals can continuously increase their 1%, refine their habits, and pursue deeper levels of growth.

While it may sound counterintuitive, structure is critical in fostering creativity and innovation. Charlie shows how true this is for Apple and Tesla! Building systems and processes enables individuals to handle the necessary tasks efficiently and frees up mental energy to pursue new ideas and connections. By programming our lives and establishing effective systems, we can unlock our potential for greatness and continually strive for the next, higher goal and achievement!

The theory of Mimetic desire by Renee Gerard teaches that human beings create their desires based on what they see in the culture around them. Which means our desires may not even be our own! It might be that what we desire is based on something we see in our society, which all of a sudden we want. All of a sudden we find ourselves needing the thing we may not have even known existed before we saw it! Ie- the world of fashion!

Therefore, the environment we put ourselves into is critical!

Charlie explains:

-The importance of being connected to something which creates an environment in which your new habit is normal, like a workout buddy

-The danger of falling back into your old neural connections 

-Why it might benefit you to make your new habit public

Remember the example of radishes and cookies? We learned about ego depletion, how we only have a certain amount of discipline. 

If we use up our discipline on insignificant things, we’re out of discipline early in the day. 

For instance, this is why Steve Jobs wears the same thing every day. Jeff Bazos is uninvolved in the small problems and decisions at Amazon because he’s busy with the big direction for the company.

Big people don’t get stuck in small problems. 

Ask yourself if the moments of your life are worth the amount of discipline you’re giving them.

Your discipline needs to go to your new ritual. That ritual needs to be repeated over and over to get wired in. So this is where we want to use our discipline muscle, because you know at some point that ritual will stick in your brain and require less discipline, so the return you get on your discipline investment is so worth it.

“When we invest our discipline in insignificant things we’re wasting it. When we invest it in ritual building or in bad ritual pruning, it’s the best investment we can make because we know at some point it will become automatic!”

What happens when things get hard, when the motivation is gone, and you’re ready to let go of the new ritual?

Charlie introduces the concept of stick week!

Stick week will help you when: 

-Discipline is used up

-I’m feeling done

-My previous brain wiring is so strong making it hard for me to go against it 

Stick week is the answer!

When you don’t want to do it, that’s when your brain is really starting to make new connections and wire it in. So think towards the future and remind yourself it’s going to get easier and imagine what my life will look like with my new routine.

 If you stick with it, that’s when all the greatness happens!

In this podcast episode, Charlie delves into the topic of breaking bad habits and provides valuable insights and strategies to overcome them. He emphasizes the importance of understanding and manipulating the cues that trigger these habits. One powerful technique is deferring the cue, allowing you to pause and make a conscious choice instead of succumbing to the habit impulsively.

Charlie shares a personal example of identifying a cue that led to unhelpful behaviors during negotiations. By recognizing the trigger, he implemented a simple but effective change of cue: pausing and writing something down instead of reacting emotionally. This shift prevented him from continuing the same pattern and improved his communication in those situations.

When it comes to dealing with the routine of a habit, Charlie suggests making it unattractive or more difficult to engage in. For example, applying Vaseline to your nails if you have a habit of biting them or involving others in your habit to make it less enjoyable or private. Additionally, you can adjust the routine by finding alternatives that provide a similar experience without the negative impact. Charlie shares examples such as switching to decaf coffee or chewing nicotine gum instead of smoking.

Furthermore, Charlie addresses the aftermath of engaging in a negative habit and the tendency to downplay its impact or shift blame onto others. He advises allowing yourself to feel the guilt or discomfort that arises after engaging in such behavior and not dismissing it. By truly experiencing the negative emotions, you create stronger neural connections that can serve as reminders when faced with similar triggers in the future. This anticipatory awareness helps you make better choices and avoid repeating past mistakes.

By implementing these strategies and simultaneously focusing on building positive habits, you can gradually transform your behavior and reduce the influence of negative patterns. This approach involves marginal gains in the positive direction while pruning and reducing the impact of negative habits. As a result, your brain becomes more equipped to make conscious and empowering choices in key moments.

Charlie emphasizes the importance of identifying cues that lead to negative habits. Whether it's stress, boredom, or specific environments, recognizing these triggers is the first step towards making a change.

Charlie discusses:

Changing the Cue: By modifying the cue or trigger, you can interrupt the habit loop. For example, creating a pre-cue ritual or reframing your mindset before entering a stressful situation can help you respond differently and break the cycle of negative behavior.

Deferring the Routine: If you find it challenging to completely eliminate a negative habit, consider deferring the routine. By delaying the action, you give yourself an opportunity to reflect and make a conscious choice. This simple shift can lead to greater self-awareness and gradually weaken the power of the unwanted habit.

Rearranging the Environment: Take control of your surroundings by rearranging cues that trigger negative habits. Move tempting items out of sight or create physical barriers to make it more difficult to engage in undesired behaviors. By reshaping your environment, you set yourself up for success and make it easier to choose positive alternatives.

Practical takeaways from this episode empower listeners to understand the cues and routines that drive their negative habits. By implementing these strategies, individuals can gradually rewire their brains and cultivate healthier, more positive behaviors.

Tune in for a deeper dive into these practical strategies and gain valuable insights on how to redefine your habits for personal growth and transformation.

What we want is for our brain to cover our new routine with myelin which makes the action quicker and more automatic. We want the cue, routine, and reward to be super quick and easy to do.

What will get us going with the routine easily? Finding the right cue!  

Find a cue you’re already doing

Or make a cue that’s super easy and that you don’t mind doing

Charlie explains that it is super important to take a moment at the beginning of the routine to visualize the reward. Imagine the feeling of telling your friend you did it, of tasting that smoothie, of having the task checked off… think of the end, what it will feel like when it’s over! Savoring that pleasure up front at the cue stage makes your brain crave the action and want to do the routine!

So structuring the routine to have an easy cue accompanied by the anticipation of the pleasure, and doing this over and over will make this go much faster, automatic, and requiring no discipline or mental energy over time!

Charlie explains: 

How we are internally motivated by the progress we make. Movement feels good. When we’re making progress inside, it makes us feel good and makes us want to do more. Keeping score and making that check each day is a reward in itself!

How social acceptance is such a powerful external motivator. It is such a basic human need, that the lack of social acceptance can cause a fight or flight response! So using the power of social acceptance in the form of an accountability partner who recognizes our progress can make a huge difference in keeping our new routine going. 

 So to get the most out of your reward ritual, give yourself that instant reward, and follow up with measuring your success and texting your accountability partner!

Title: Part 10: The Secret Hack to Strong New Habits

In part 10 of Mind Hacks, Charlie teaches a huge brain hack that will shortcut your routine building: visualization!

Creativity, imagination, and dreaming are seen as children’s play. But when used properly, visualization is the secret to getting the best results.

Charlie tells the story of Charlie Wolfson, one of the greatest neurosurgeons in the country, who uses visualization before every surgery. In an instance when the surgery doesn’t go properly, he knows right away, because it differed from how he’d visualized it!

Charlie discusses:

How visualizing causes new connections in the brain. This is the secret that so many great people use- creating neural connections BEFORE even doing the action! This makes doing it easier, your brain already knows how to do it!

How the brain doesn’t know if what we’re imagining is real or not! 

How to use process visualization to visualize the process before doing it. This helps a)visualize the problems before they come up and figure out solutions b)allow the brain to recognize the action before ever doing it, therefore making it easier to do

Charlie guides us through picking our new 1% routines, playing them out in our minds, notice which problems arise, and either adjust the routine or accommodate the problems. That way we can adapt the routine so it actually works!

We generally operate out of the amygdala in the back of the brain, which keeps us in survival mode and always stressed. 

Today’s exercise takes us into the front of our brain, and our promising future!

By articulating where we want to be, our ideal, we will be able to start creating new habits that will get us there. 

With both exercises complete, we will be able to identify our true BE!

Charlie discusses:

-What is needed to make lasting changes and create new habits

-Tapping  into the essence of who you are 

-The difference between living your essence and living based on actions

-How most people make changes out of guilt instead of from their essence 

-How to start shutting off the DOING and start BEING 

Harary suggests a eulogy writing homework exercise to trigger your BEING state and help you get in touch with your true identity and essence. This will allow you to make lasting changes that are driven by your true self.

Why aren’t we already where we want to be? Why aren’t we healthier? More giving? Some part of who us is blocking us from that thing. We don’t really believe in the thing we say we want! 

We fail because we change our hands not our heart-we don’t REALLY want to do it for some reason. Something inside of our brain, in how we perceive ourselves, is holding us back. We haven’t changed our identity. 

Charlie discusses:

-Why we revert to our old ways

-Why we must identify the root of who we want to be

-Who you really are at a soul level vs. who you’re programmed to be 

-Do-Have-Be vs. Be-Do-Have

-Change can happen in a split second!

So how do we figure out who we want to be and how to change our identity? Let’s discuss it next time!

Charlie explains that rituals train the brain to allow the action to become conditioned into your brain so it becomes automatic- so automatic so it takes no energy, and you don’t have to exert discipline to do it.

Charlie emphasizes the importance of understanding the cue, which is the most critical piece to understanding habits. He explains that when the cue gets triggered, it automatically cues the next behavior, and the next- it’s all one network. 

Charlie discusses:

-Habits have three components: the cue, the routine, and the reward.

-By controlling the trigger, (or the cue,) you can change your life.

-How to design effective cues by identifying a structured action you already do all the time and use it as a trigger to the new habit. 

-How to do the routine next to the thing that will trigger it it because then your brain will start to associate the two.

-That many negative behaviors stem from triggers, so it's essential to avoid those triggers. 

Homework:Make a list of things in your life that are built in structure that can be used as triggers, such as waking up, brushing teeth, making coffee, sitting down at your desk, and pulling into the driveway.

Books mentioned: 

Charles Duhigg, 'The Power of Habit' 

James Clear, 'Atomic Habits'

Our brain is like a computer. It has been practicing specific habits throughout our lifetime (without us even realizing it) until the brain created shortcuts for them, “programming” our knowledge or habits into us until they get easier, and become subconscious. The more you are consistent, repeat the (negative) habit or knowledge, the more your mind gets it and makes it quicker and easier!

Charlie discusses:

Synaptic pruning- how our brain works is that the more information/behavior is used, the stronger it gets. The less it’s used, it gets weaker and the brain lets it go. 

2) Your mind is a computer. But you are not your mind. You are so much bigger than your mind. 

3) The things that were hard for you as a child (like brushing teeth) are so second nature to you now- you don’t have to use any of your brain to think about brushing! That’s because of the repetition- the more you did it, the more your brain wired it in and created shortcuts!

4) When you make a resolution, you’re resolving to stop doing something that is SO ingrained in you, like poor marriage habits, poor food choices. These behaviors are so second nature, they are rock solid in your brain. Resolving to stop is nearly impossible. 

5)How to start creating new habits using your mind and repetition to your advantage!

Ever feel stuck in your life, and you keep trying and trying but it doesn’t change?

It’s so easy to look at how much you know, how you act and feel, what results you have in your life, and think it’s you. It’s not you! These are all a result of how you’ve been using your brain!

We’re on day 3, so catch up if you’re behind, because we’re about to discover how to actually reach our goals! (Link in podcast show notes to full series)

What is the next big goal for you?

Thanks as always for your comments and shares with friends, statuses, it means the world! Let’s grow together.

Listen as Charlie quotes a study by Roy Baumeister, a researcher at Florida State University. Roy tested student’s discipline muscle by tempting them with fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and radishes- the results were fascinating. 

Charlie discusses how:

-If your brain would have known how to reach the goal, it would have done so already

-Creating a resolution forces you to rely heavily on your discipline muscle, but what happens when the discipline is used up?

-Setting a resolution forces you to shut down who you really are 

-Adopting the behaviors of who you want to be is like a ticking time bomb

So what are we supposed to do? Join us in the next episode to find out!

The impact that we have on others is massive. We don't have to be the head of a political party or a big rabbi or a huge influencer to influence someone. We just need to wake up in the morning and know that each one of us is responsible for bringing goodness into the world.

Our actions are inspiring somebody else's actions. Our actions are creating a model for how somebody else should act because they're watching us. Our enthusiasm, inspiration, and desire for growth is showing somebody else that they could do that too.

The only way we can access that depth is by going deeper from the physical that we have. The only way we do that is when we allow others to be in the center of our lives and focus on giving rather than accumulating. When we have the humility to realize that we’re not in the center, we open up possibilities we can't believe.

It means there's more than “ME “in life. There are causes bigger than “me”. The whole essence of spirituality is that it is outside of me. When we can recognize this, the center of our universe shifts and our potential is limitless.

Being a vessel is how others can be a part of your life. The more space we make for others, the more Divine energy we will have within.

The Jewish month of Elul is all about change. 

What makes us great is when we choose to change even when things are good.

Opportunity comes packaged in challenges, and we hear that voice in our heads, 'Don't even try,' 'I'm too old,' 'I'm not enough.' The only thing that we need to change is our mentality.
