Some days your own head is the hardest place to be. You replay conversations, talk yourself out of things before you even try, and understand what you should feel while feeling something completely different. StillPoint Logic is a podcast for anyone who has been there. Each episode explores thought patterns that influence how you feel, and works through them with reflection and logic. The ideas are practical and meant to become tools you return to when you are stuck, overwhelmed, or doubting yourself. I am your reflection companion, and I hope this podcast makes you feel good.

    Half the Credit: Stop Handing Your Success Away to Luck (S2 E13)

    Autumn brings a season of reflection for me. Recently, while writing for the show, I caught myself falling into an old rule: whenever something goes wrong, I take 100% of the blame, but when something goes right, I hand the credit away to luck, timing, or circumstance. Even now, I catch myself sitting at a 50/50 split, giving luck half the credit for things like graduating with honors, being promoted, or sustaining long-term friendships. These are achievements that took years of my hard work. In this episode I reflect through my personal process of confronting this "learned smallness." I share the 5-step cognitive framework I'm using to stop shrinking my own effort, alongside Friedrich Nietzsche’s insight on outgrowing limiting versions of ourselves. If you’ve ever talked yourself out of your own strength just to stay safe or avoid feeling arrogant, I hope this conversation helps you step closer to owning your wins. In this episode, I cover: My struggle with splitting credit with luck on hard-earned achievementsThe concept of learned smallness and why keeping yourself small isn't safetyA 5-step reflection exercise to look at your wins with directly How Nietzsche’s philosophy on growth inspires us to move past old beliefs Enjoy, Hila I'm not a therapist. Think of this as guided self-reflection, and me as your reflection companion. #StillPointLogic #HilaEigner #LearnedSmallness #ImposterSyndrome #CognitiveReframing #Nietzsche #Overthinking #SelfDoubt #InnerDialogue #PersonalGrowth

    When Other People Make You Doubt Yourself (S2 E12)

    Why does a stranger's opinion influence you so much? In this episode I look at what happens when someone else's certainty starts working against your own, by wearing down the trust you had in a decision you'd made. I share my experience, about choosing to study Philosophy at university against pretty much everyone's advice, to walk through the difference between an opinion that adds something to your thinking and one that just erodes it. To help you reflect, I also suggest a way to tell, which kind of conversation you're in. (These are not new ideas but they are served in a way you might be able to really relate to them and implement). Enjoy, Hila I'm not a therapist. Think of this as guided self-reflection, and me as your reflection companion. #StillPointLogic #Podcast #Philosophy #SelfReflection #ThoughtPatterns #PersonalGrowth #MindfulThinking #InnerDialogue #Overthinking #ReflectionCompanion

    The Checklist Isn't The Whole Picture (S2 E11)

    Have you ever done everything right in a day and still ended up feeling off by the end of it? This week I'm talking about a day that made no sense to me, nothing went wrong, I got through everything on my list. Cleaning, errands, a walk with my dog, dinner with a friend, and by evening there was a 50 kg weight pressing on my chest. We're taught that feeling okay comes down to a checklist, sleep, movement, food, time with the people who matter, but the checklist only tracks what you did, not what you took in. A screen, a headline, ten minutes of scrolling between two things you had planned, that's not included and sometimes we cannot avoid it, and your body can respond to it the same way it would respond to something that happened to you directly. Spinoza wrote about this, feelings follow their own logic, and you cannot argue yourself out of one, only confront it it with something stronger/logical than the feeling itself. I shared what happened to me that day, and how a feeling that started with something I saw on my feed turned into a much bigger decision by the time evening came around. What's a day that checked every box on your list, and still left you feeling like something was wrong?

    Make the Right Choice Closer to You (S2 E10)

    You order the pizza while already thinking about why you shouldn't, you keep scrolling past midnight while your body is begging for sleep, you keep putting off the conversation you know you need to have, why does this keep happening even when you know better? This isn't a willpower problem, it's a distance problem, the worse choice is almost always closer, easier, cheaper and faster to reach, while the better one requires more planning, patience, effort, more of you. Aristotle wrote about it over two thousand years ago, Akrasia, the strange and very human habit of knowing exactly what the better choice is and still choosing the other one. Today we are reflecting about how to make the better choice, and separating the choice from the side effects that run alongside it. What's the choice you keep making that you already know isn't the one you want?

    Shopping, Control, and the Difference Between the Two (S2 E9)

    Ever bought something hoping it would fix a feeling? Sometimes emotional spending feels like control, especially when a purchase happens in the middle of a hard week. For a few seconds, it works, but that feeling fades fast. An object might shift how you feel in the moment, but for how long can it preserve that feeling into the rest of your week? This episode reflects on the difference between a purchase that's compensating for something, standing in for control, and one that's complementing something already valid. The line between retail therapy and a purchase you needed isn't in the object itself, shoes are shoes either way, it's in what you're expecting that purchase to do. Epictetus and Seneca are the philosophers joining us, and the question just before the add to cart is what are you actually reaching for.

    Comparison the Joy Killer And Why It's Worse With a Phone (S2 E8)

    Why does comparing yourself to others feel worse now than it used to? Comparison itself is ancient, humans have always measured themselves against their neighbors, but the constant scroll of curated, filtered content has turned an old habit into something much harder to escape. We look at Michel de Montaigne, a philosopher who tried to measure his life only against his own experience, and ask what he would make of a phone. If your Tuesday keeps losing to someone else's edited version of a life, this one's for you.

    AI Has Thought Rules Too (S2 E7)

    I use AI, and I still don't fully trust what that fluency is doing to my own thinking. This episode is a closer look at what AI can genuinely give us, and the moment coherence starts to feel like truth. We go through the philosophy behind reasoning systems, the questions that turn AI into a doubt generator instead of an answer machine, and the four moments when the decision has to come back to you. Remember, AI has thought rules and so do you. Enjoy, Hila #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #CriticalThinking #Philosophy #LogicAndReason #SelfReflection #ThoughtRules

    Whose Thoughts Are You Thinking? (S2 E6)

    This episode is about borrowed opinions. We borrow to keep things smooth, we want to be part of it, it's easier than thinking, but sometimes we borrow for so long that we lose track of what was originally ours. I want to look at what happens when we do that, and what you lose over time. The real problem is not one single moment of going along. It's what happens to your own thinking when going along becomes your default. When you outsource your opinions long enough, something happens in reverse. You stop trusting your own judgment. Your decisions and actions, who you are in the world, require you to know what you actually think. This one asks: Whose thoughts are you thinking?
