This is a fascinating read on Gallup's findings from 25 million people who have taken the #cliftonstrengths assessment. The impact of a team of people who are aware of their and each other's #strengths is stark; some are 14% higher productivity, 18% higher sales and 23% more profitability.

We know that a playlist is a list of video or audio files that can be played back on a media player either sequentially or in a shuffled order. In its most general form, an audio playlist is simply a list of songs, but sometimes a loop.
We have songs for when we feel good, or feel a little low, or if we want to motivate ourselves (think "Chariots of Fire' theme or Rocky movie theme) and so on. On Podcasts, you have motivational or informational talks.
There's another playlist that has been with us for a longer time. This playlist is not just music or podcasts, but consists of conversations. At times, they can consist quotations (said by someone we give importance to) that we are reminded of, according to our circumstances and experiences. They could be things we have told ourselves. The psychologists call this 'self-talk'. I call it the 'Internal Personal Playlist'. This image shows how it generally works on the inside.
This playlist or 'Internal Representation' comes on automatically as we go through different situations and emotions in life, sometimes defining our behaviours, actions and even our mindsets. It's never a constant theme, and sometimes, it is extremely hard to switch off. So we end up more mentally tired than physically tired, and want to withdraw from the world.
Suppose we tried to consciously control the Internal Personal Playlist by choosing what to play? How might we control this? What might happen?
For a start, we could acknowledge what is going on around us, and also acknowledge what we are doing in response to the playlist. We can try to change the playlist. In the world of Emotional Intelligence, Strengths and Positive Psychology, this means developing deep awareness of what's on our playlist in a given moment.
The implications of the playlist are many. But more importantly, what's on your playlist this week? and next month?
