In the case of this episode, Eva talks about the “High Five.” Everyone loves receiving a High Five — but just how powerful is it… Well in this episode, Eva shares a study that she heard the great Mel Robbins talking about in a recent interview. The study demonstrated that the High Five is far more powerful than verbal praise. Eva shares the details of the study, explains why High Fives can have such an extraordinary impact, and challenges all Big Dreamers to give High Fives more often!

This episode is likely to be one of the most controversial Eva has ever published, at least among the younger big dreamers who would love nothing more than to spend hours of time each day watching TV, perusing TikTok or playing video games. But this is the DREAM BIG podcast, and the truth is that too many people are destroying their big dreams by spending all their “free” time every day on anything but working towards their big dreams. Studies show that the average American spends more than 6 hours every day watching TV and on social media. That’s 6 hours per day that could be spent making progress on your dreams. In this episode, Eva shares her 3-part strategy for reclaiming many of those hours, and how you can ensure that this newfound time will be spent on working towards your big dreams.

We all have problems. Every human on earth can find something to complain about. Some stress. Some aggravation. Something that is going wrong in their life. Yet while we can look for what’s wrong, we can also look for what’s right! And that is Eva’s message in this episode. Even better, Eva shares how we as a family train our brain every evening at dinner to look for what’s going right in our lives. It’s amazing how 5-10 minutes of gratitude practiced every day can change the way you view the world. For our show notes, visit DreamBigPodcast.com/292
At a family dinner a few weeks ago, the word NO became a subject of discussion and we were surprised to learn that our kids thought of NO as a “bad word.” I guess that shouldn’t be a huge surprise because kids are taught from a young age not to say no to their parents or their teachers. And of course the word YES often has a positive connotation since we are encouraging our kids to say yes to their dreams, to pushing outside of their comfort zone, to taking on new challenges, etc. We explained to Eva and Sophia that sometimes NO is the best answer you can give. Whether it is saying NO so you can prioritize your dreams (since there are only so many hours in a day) or saying NO to harmful choices like drugs or crimes. Eva wanted to make sure all big dreamers also grasped this idea that NO is often the right answer, so we recorded this episode which we hope you all enjoy!

Love is not an easy emotion to describe. It’s a feeling that you experience when you are giving or receiving love — but certainly not easy to explain to a kid or even an adult. Unconditional love is an even more challenging concept — this idea that you can love someone without conditions, even if that person is misbehaving or treating you unfairly. That’s why Eva decided when she came across an example of unconditional love in her own life, that she would tell the story. Because there’s no better way to explain a concept than with a story that perfectly illustrates it! We hope you enjoy Eva’s example of unconditional love and challenge all you Big Dreamers to show unconditional love in the way Eva describes the next time an opportunity presents itself.

Today’s episode is rare in that Eva is telling the Big Dreamers something that they should NOT do! This is something that many parents (us included) have been guilty of far too often. But it is a really bad habit, and one that becomes harder to break as the years go by. Specifically, Eva discusses the habit of waking up and immediately opening your phone to either check email or to otherwise consume other people’s content (we are leaving out motivational content for purposes of this episode). Eva explains why giving away the precious first 30 minutes of your day to someone else’s priorities is a terrible way to kick off your morning, and shares what she does when she first gets out of bed. We hope that this episode serves as an important reminder to young and older Big Dreamers to prioritize the first moments you are awake as a time to claim the day as your own — which simply cannot be done by looking at your inbox or watching dance challenges on TikTOk!

Have you ever met someone who has far less than you in terms of material wealth but is way, way happier? These people are living proof that you don’t need money to buy happiness. In fact, as Eva explains in today’s episode, you don’t need any reason to be happy. You can just decide to be happy. Eva shares two examples of people who have far “less” than our family — yet are making the decision to be happy. These people have inspired us to proactively work in 2022 on making the decision to be happy more often, and we know that they will inspire you as well!

Gratitude is a recurring topic of discussion on the Dream Big Podcast. Over the years, Eva has shared a ton of ideas on how to practice gratitude, from visualization exercises to gratitude diaries to our family’s daily practice of expressing gratitude at the dinner table. Today however, Eva wanted to share her favorite idea for expressing gratitude, courtesy of Tony and Sage Robbins who recently shared how they create an annual slideshow of all their favorite memories from the year. Not only do they have so much fun selecting the photos and adding their favorite music, but it becomes a slideshow that they can then rewatch whenever they need a good ol’ dose of gratitude. What a great idea, and Eva shares why she is so excited about creating a 2021 highlight reel slideshow for our family, as well as her favorite apps for creating slideshows with minimal effort (other than going through Olga’s thousands of photos to pick out her favorite ones!).
