The BeNudge Show - By Reetika

By Reetika

Why do we dream? What is happiness? Why do we behave differently around some people? Is fashion cyclical? Sounds random? Because it is. But look a little deeper you can trace everything back to specific behavioural patterns. This is exactly what your host Reetika is here to talk about. Join her for an exploration into subtleties of behavioural patterns. If you are someone who thrives on curiosity and are comfortable in thinking differently, this podcast is for you. Hope you enjoy listening.

Regrets and negative self talk - What is it and how to use it to your benefit

We all have been consumed by regret at some point in time. We play stories in our minds and criticise ourselves for decisions that we take. This regretful self talk can dwindle your focus and can harm your relationships, personally and at work. While regret is a negative emotion, a shift in perspective can turn this negative emotion into something positive. In this episode we discuss just that and learn how to use regret and negative self talk to our benefit.

Thank you for listening!

Yours,

Reetika

Episode 7: Music and it’s influence on culture, decision making, advertising and more

Music is everywhere. It’s the beat that keeps us bopping, its our escape from reality and it’s something we either choose to wind down or turn up too. But have we ever stopped and wondered, why does music affect us the way it does, and does it affect our reality or our behaviour in any way?
Join Arjun as he explores why certain kind of music makes us groove, the role of music in understanding cultures, its influence on our minds and its importance in advertising.
Featuring - DJ Brendan Lopez
We hope you find this episode helpful.
Sincerely,
Arjun

Episode 6: Building Emotional Agility, Restoring Mental Health & Overcoming Trauma Through Nudges

I am here, I am now, I am real, come embrace me ⁃ George Elerick George is a behavioural experimentalist and the founder of Nudge Culture. He is a movie buff, an adventure junkie and a stand up comedian. George is one of those people who have accepted and embraced his traumatic experiences and he has armed himself with his vulnerability, like his super power, which he then uses to help people navigate through their trauma. He believes that speaking about traumatic experiences should not be limited to celebrities or people with platforms. Instead more people, like you and me should talk about their trauma in an attempt to help those who struggle with their mental health. In this episode, we talk about how trauma is subjective and varies from person to person, and why we should be talking about it. Make no mistake people, trauma is real and it needs to be talked about. We also discuss the intersection between trauma and behavioural science, and see how you can use nudges to help yourself overcome your fears and begin your journey towards healing yourself. We hope you find this episode helpful. Sincerely, Arjun & Reetika BeHuman, stay courageous and remember to Think Like Maia.
