This is a rebroadcast of one of our favorite episodes. We discuss how shark respond when a clear plexiglass divider is placed between them and shark bait. At first the sharks will continually ram into the divider hoping to get a bite of food. However as time goes on the sharks give up. And even when the divider is removed and the barrier no longer exists they don't try to eat the bait anymore. Sometimes, we are the shark in this example. Have there been barriers in your past that have kept you from achieving goals? Are those barriers removed and you still use them as an excuse for not accomplishing more in your life?

We also discuss last week's hugging challenge. Are you a hugger naturally? We admit that we are not but does that mean we will never be? Are people who hug seen as more warm and loving?

Are you addicted to soda pop? If you were asked to give up your precious caramel bubbly for an entire week would you be able to do it? This week we challenge you to drink more water and give up your precious caffeinated beverages.
