Segment 1
The Conscious Consultant, hosted by Sam Liebowitz, is a fantastic episode this week with guest, Dr. Rowshanak Hashemiyoon. Sam opens up this show talking about integrity, and how once we learn how to be sympathetic with ourselves, we can learn how to be sympathetic and empower others; this is all information that can be found in Sam’s new book, Everyday Awakening. Dr. Hashemiyoon has a deep appreciation for spiritual rituals as well as a deep understanding for hard, real science. She begins talking about how she was born this way, and how her love for science began.
Segment 2
Dr. Hashemiyoon begins this segment by explaining what the “default mode network,” which is a system in the brain that is functioning when you are in a task mode state. She then begins explaining the difference between bad stress and good stress; a certain amount of stress is actually okay for the body and can be productive, but if you have too much stress then that is when it becomes negative. Stress does not have to always be viewed in a negative light, which is very enlightening for all to know; each person has a different set point where stress can be defined as bad rather than useful. A good thing to practice is mindfulness meditation so that you can become aware of your own personal levels; there is also a study that shows that mindfulness meditation can increase your tolerance to certain things such as pain.
Segment 3
Host, Sam Liebowitz, and Dr. Hashemiyoon begins segment 3 by talking about the great resignation; this is about how people have decided how to fit work into their lives, rather than fitting their lives into work. This is important because people were starting to want to leave their place of work. They began to transition into the talk about how there are so many remote jobs due to the pandemic, and how this is giving people the chance to engage with themselves. There is also such a drive today to be an entrepreneur, and the number of personal businesses have skyrocketed.
Segment 4
Sam begins segment 4 by asking Dr. Rowshanak Hashemiyoon what she does besides her day-to-day office job, and she referred to herself as a “functional, integrated scientist.” She talks about how one of her biggest skills is taking really big, complicated ideas and turning them into bite size ideas so that she can share with others. Both, Sam and Dr. Hashemiyoon, talk about how important breaks are for those who are working; if you are overworking yourself then productivity rate drops significantly which is obviously not the goal. Dr. Hasemiyoon talks about how she has many different programs where she shares this information with others as well as companies so that she can help benefit these companies and people. You can stay in touch with Dr. Rowshanak Hashemiyoon on her website, twitter, or clubhouse, and she hopefully will be back for another episode with host, Sam Liebowitz, soon on the Conscious Consultant!
