    S5 Ep22: Self-Awareness for Everyone
    Jul 26 2024
    Self-awareness to better live life in a mad, mad, mad world Your best ally and most reliable resource is you. Practicing self-awareness puts you in touch with that truth. Self-motivation What IS self-motivation? It is finding your own inner resources to motivate yourself to do things. Self-motivation is not selfish. Putting yourself first is NOT selfish. Selfishness only occurs when an action you perform wantonly denies somebody abundance and prosperity. Self-motivation is making a way to do something. Consciousness creates reality. EVERYTHING in the universe falls into this. Self-talk What is self-talk? When you get inside your own head and look at your thoughts and feelings, often you create an internal dialogue. Sometimes, this dialogue takes no form in true words, but more in feelings and impressions. Sometimes this takes you down a dark path. It can also get abusive. Despite the fact you’d never take this sort of abuse from someone else, when you do it to yourself you might think that’s just fine. You believe that you deserve it for doing wrong, messing up, and being imperfect in various ways. You have the ability to use mindfulness to become aware of what you’re thinking and what and how you’re feeling. When you do this, you open yourself up to recognizing just what you’re thinking and saying about yourself and can change it as need be. Mindfulness and self-awareness Self-awareness is for everyone. This is achieved via active conscious awareness. That is mindfulness. Mindfulness is knowing your inner being, and really getting to know who, what, where, how, and why you are. You’re utterly worthy and deserving of this. That’s why self-awareness is for EVERYONE. The more you see and practice this the more you can help others to do the same. That, in turn, can change the fear base of society to a more reason-based one. You are thus empowered to live that way and use self-awareness to be all that you desire to be in this one-shot you get at life. One Last Applied Guidance for Mindfulness Tool Practice mindfulness and active conscious awareness. To be self-aware and practice mindfulness, pause from time to time and ask these questions: · What am I thinking? · What am I feeling? · How am I feeling? · What are my intentions? · Is my approach to things angled towards the positive or negative end of the spectrum? · What are my actions? These can all only be answered at this present moment, in the here and now. That happens to be the only time that’s really, truly, real. Use your self-awareness to change anything about your life that you’re not okay with or desire to alter. You are thus empowered. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

    S5 Ep21: Everybody Wants Kindness, Compassion, and Empathy
    Jul 19 2024
    They are not, contrary to popular belief, scarce or lacking Sometimes it feels like it's all spinning out of control. Is this really the truth of society? Have people become this dominantly sad, depressed, and discourteous? It sure as hell feels that way. Yet I believe that’s not the truth. Why? Because everyone desires kindness, compassion, and empathy. Unfortunately, too many outside influences make them appear to be lacking, scarce, and something you must compete for. What if the truth is that they’re abundant and the competition is a lie? Most competition is BS Let’s be honest. Most competition, as we are shown it, is bullshit. It’s a lie. If you’re playing golf, tennis, or participating in a game show, you’re competing with others. Pro sports and the like are competitions. Otherwise? You’re not truly competing with anyone. This is part of where the weaponization of fear totally comes into play. Multiple types of authority figures will tell you that “they” are competing with you for this, that, or the other thing. If you don’t compete with “them” you will lose what is rightfully yours. This, of course, is utterly untrue. Everybody wants kindness, compassion, and empathy It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from. When it comes to yourself and your life, you desire to receive kindness. You want people to be compassionate towards you. You desire empathy for who you are, your goals, ideals, beliefs, values, and whatnot. Unfortunately, the biggest problem with this is that many people don’t recognize that to get kindness, compassion, and empathy, they must be given. You set yourself up to not receive them when you don’t give them. First, let’s recognize this important fact. Kindness, compassion, and empathy are in abundance. They are infinite. There will never be a lack, insufficiency, or scarcity of kindness, compassion, and empathy. They are in abundance beyond your comprehension. Secondly, everybody desires to receive kindness, compassion, and empathy. However, not all recognize them for what they are. So much time is viewed as being in competition, and so many false narratives about lack, scarcity, and insufficiency are put forth, that they drive people to think they’re limited. That’s not true, as they are abundant and infinite. Thirdly, nobody is any more or less deserving of kindness, compassion, and empathy than anyone else. The wealthy aren’t more deserving or worthy than the poor. FYI, this applies to the planet, animals, and virtually everything you can think of. Kindness, compassion, and empathy for everything is never bad. Practice giving kindness, compassion, and empathy To get more kindness, compassion, and empathy, practice giving them. You’ll see that the more you give, the more you will find to give. Then, ultimately, the more you give, the more you get. Practice locally. Because in truth, you have such a limited reach that this is where you can do the most good. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by practicing this. This week’s Applied Guidance for Mindfulness Tool: Look around you and figure out where you can give more kindness, compassion, and empathy both to yourself and other people. Hold doors, help old people across streets, and the like.

  • S5 Ep20: There’s Plenty of Pie to Go Around

    S5 Ep20: There’s Plenty of Pie to Go Around
    Jul 12 2024
    The Pie is Not Limited This is an abundant universe with more than enough for everyone. The implication, sometimes blatant - but more often subtle - is that the thing you desire is finite. Tangible or intangible, there’s not enough and if you don’t take yours, you’ll miss it. There’s only so much pie to go around because it's limited. The truth, however, is that the pie is not, in fact, limited. Abundance is everywhere in everything This is not a universe of lack, scarcity, or insufficiency. It’s an abundant universe. Stretch your mind and see that abundance is real in both the material and immaterial. Most, if not all lack, scarcity, and insufficiency are artificial. The pie is not limited. When it comes to the things you want and desire, tangible or intangible, the pie is infinite. The limited pie is a trick Implications of lack, scarcity, and insufficiency – limited pie – are false. They’re artificial, created by this person, that government, that industry, or whatever/whoever else to disempower. People who believe in lack, scarcity, and insufficiency are disempowered. Why does empowerment matter? You are the only one in your head, heart, and soul. Nobody else can think your thoughts, feel your feelings, experience your emotions, and so on. You’re it. Outside influences can provide some info and context. However, for the most part, empowerment comes from within. Active conscious awareness is mindfulness. You gain it not via your 6 senses, but rather your inner being. Becoming aware, in the present, of your thoughts, feelings, actions, approach, and intentions, makes you consciously aware. Using them or changing them is mindful and empowers you. Empowerment is how you choose and decide for yourself how to live your life. This will show you that the pie – tangible or intangible – is not limited. This is an abundant universe with more than enough for everyone. The notion that the pie is limited is not true. This week’s Applied Guidance for Mindfulness Tool: Write out a list of all the things you need or desire to have. This should include both tangibles and intangibles. Divide the list into three parts. Must haves Not absolute musts Desires you can live without Figure out the things you can’t live without, the things you really want but aren’t musts, and the things you desire but could live without. Is there anything on this list that’s not abundant? If not, why not? If you have it, doesn’t someone else go without (or will they just have to wait for the next production run or choose an equal alternative?) Does this reveal to you how much there is to go around, and more?
