They explore the idea that everything in life is a reflection of consciousness and that our experiences are like characters in a play. Seye shares insights on the illusion of the mind and the power of observing our patterns. They also touch on the role of suffering and how it can lead to growth and transformation. Seye's book, 'This Glorious Dance: Thoughts and Contemplations About Who We Are,' delves deeper into these topics.Who is Seye Kuyinu?Seye Kuyinu is an Agile Coach and Clinical Hypnotherapist who enjoys exploring systems and stories that lead us to or away from suffering, individually, collectively as teams, organizations, or society.

His interests have led him on a quest to explore the nuanced complexities of life, cultivating an appreciation for its profound yet often misunderstood depths. This quest shapes his distinctive coaching approach, characterized by relentless curiosity and a recognition of the paradoxical nature of the human experience. In short, Seye's approach to life and work is encapsulated by the knowing that one can ever know anything. And so, his philosophies and practices are rooted in the idea that every character, individual, role, and scenario presents an opportunity to explore, question, and learn for absolutely no reason but the fun of it.How to Connect with Seye?Instagram: www.instagram.com/seyekuyinuTwitter: www.twitter.com/seyeSeye’s Book: https://amzn.to/4aQBN6TTakeawaysLife is like a dance, with ups and downs, and embracing both is essential for growth and transformation.The mind creates illusions and often latches onto certain concepts based on past experiences.Observing our patterns and recognizing the illusion of the mind can lead to a shift in perspective and a deeper understanding of life.Suffering can be a catalyst for growth and can ultimately lead to a greater appreciation for the ups and downs of life.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Background04:08 Embracing the Dance of Life09:54 The Illusion of the Mind16:37 Suffering and Growth

She emphasizes the importance of identifying the contextual variables that influence learning and behavior patterns. Dr. Valerie explains that behaviors, even those considered unhelpful, serve a purpose and are part of an individual's behavioral ecology. She shares insights from her experience in marital research, highlighting how understanding the function of responses can lead to more effective communication and problem-solving.Dr. Valerie addresses common challenges in behavior change, particularly in health and weight loss. She distinguishes between two types of motivation: avoidance (doing something to escape or avoid negative outcomes) and pursuit (doing something to achieve positive outcomes). She argues that the latter, which involves positive reinforcement and accessing intrinsic values, is more sustainable. Dr. Valerie suggests that reconnecting with activities enjoyed in childhood or finding new value in necessary tasks can help maintain motivation.The discussion also touches on practical strategies for fostering motivation, such as behavioral momentum—starting with easy tasks to build motivation for more challenging ones. Dr. Valerie underscores the importance of mental health and pursuing intrinsic values for long-term behavior change.Who is Dr. Valerie Evans?Valerie A. Evans, Ph.D. is a licensed and board-certified behavior analyst. She owns a continuing education business that reviews current research and best practices for behavior analysis programs. Dr. Evans has aspired to feel better about her body since the onset of puberty and has experience with just about every diet program. Two years ago, Valerie turned to diet apps to feel like herself again following surgery. However, instead of reconnecting with her body she felt more disconnected than ever—completely consumed with the diet app numbers game. It was then that she said “no weigh” to the counting, tracking, budgeting, and overall life-consuming task of restriction diets. Dr. Evans responded by creating her own app, a diet program alternative called No Weigh. No Weigh shows users how to leverage behavior analysis devices to make simple adjustments to the contexts of their daily lives to maintain motivation and lose weight naturally.How to Connect with Dr. Valerie?Valerie's App (iOS and Android): https://noweigh.com/appWebsite: http://noweigh.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valerie-evans-a77990b/Facebook: @no_weigh_app or https://www.facebook.com/noweighapp/aboutInstagram: @no_weigh_app or https://www.instagram.com/no_weigh_app/
