Muscle Memory
Muscle Memory
Neil Tambe
A podcast about the decisions we don't think much about, but probably should. I really believe the decisions we make are true reflections of our character. The thing is, the vast majority of the decisions we make in a day, we don't think much about. In this podcast, I want to reflect on those really involuntary, muscle memory, decisions. I think that's the way to become a better person - get a little better every day.
Swoop the other way
I recently remembered that I tied my shoes incorrectly for about 20 years without realizing it. - https://www.ted.com/talks/terry_moore_how_to_tie_your_shoes?utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshare --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/musclememory/message

Put Down The Knife
I flipped out when my son reached for our knife block, but maybe I didn't need to react quite so intensely. Here's a link to the Hidden Brain episode I mentioned: https://www.npr.org/2020/06/12/876073130/the-air-we-breathe-implicit-bias-and-police-shootings And some other links that I was poking around on related to the concept of thinking slow: https://www.bostonglobe.com/ideas/2015/07/25/the-power-slow-thinking/ToZbzYl7rG0yVMCtsZ7WnJ/story.html https://www.amazon.com/Mindfulness-English-Bhante-Henepola-Gunaratana/dp/0861719069 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/musclememory/message

A Generous Cup of Coffee
We had the perfect plan, until the coffee shop was closed. Luckily, our morning was saved by an act of tremendous generosity. Here's a link to learn more about Good Cakes and Bakes.

No-shout Challenge
I shout. Embarrassingly, it's mostly at my son. My wife shared a "no-shout challenge" with me. It was remarkable how a well-crafted intervention could help me shout less so quickly.

What being a big boy is all about
While taking him to the bathroom, I had the proudest moment I've ever had with my eldest son. What it took, however, is fighting against my urge to solve his problems for him. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/musclememory/message

Say Gesundheit
Saying, "God Bless you" is like a secret handshake across cultures and languages. Why do we keep saying these sorts of phrases? Here's a link to the Wikipedia page I mentioned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Response_to_sneezing. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/musclememory/message

(Temper) The Papa Bear Mentality
My protective, fatherly, instinct kicked in on Christmas Day this year. I've realized though, that instinct has to have limits. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/musclememory/message

Terrific Twos
As a parent, it's easy to fall into repeating how we were raised - for better or worse. Having a two year old brings this to the front of my mind on a daily basis. Here's a link to the the wonderful book, Kids are worth it!: Giving your child the gift of inner-discipline, that I mentioned in the episode. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/musclememory/message
