If you are human you have habits.  The important thing though is are you choosing them though, or are they controlling you?  
So many people try changing or dealing with habits from the ground up, however like a strong tree or even a solid building, it starts with understanding and setting the foundation.
Every habit will take time to break or create,  this episode is about making that time as short and easy as possible by getting the ideal start.

We often think of discipline as being trained to conform by use of punishment, an unpleasant experience of being dominated by another person or thing to take away our will however what if the opposite was true.  What if the consequences of us following our "feelings" was the punishment.  What if our changing and fleeting feelings were robbing us of what we really want, to be happy, healthy and fulfilled?  If we change the way we look at discipline and see the freedom available to us then being self-disciplined can become easy.

We all get a little lost in ourselves sometimes, what's important is being able to get ourselves back on track.  
Great news is this one is both simple and easy.  
Here is how.

More and more people are texting instead of talking.  The time of dropping in on someone or just picking up the phone and calling seem to be fading to messages.  I did not intend on this episode being on this topic, however I trust that it was for a purpose that I did.  
In a time of lockdowns this episode is more important than ever I feel as people attempt to express themselves on social media and texting.
Messaging is not communication, it's information.  Do you agree?

Society often expresses privilege as something unfair, something that should be removed from those who possess it.   If you have ever experienced the threat of losing something dear to you then you know this triggers emotions and often a fight response, and those with privilege just move to defend it harder, so this is ineffective.  
What if instead we worked towards every human having those privileges.  Rather than feel the need to defend being privileged, what if we nurture and grow our privileges so there is plenty to go around for everyone?

"Of course" is a common phrase which is fitting because it is keeping you common.  You are unique, your dreams are unique, not one person on earth was destined to be common.  Using the term "of course" is a flag for being 'off course'.  Off Course is putting your life on auto-pilot and it won't take you to where your dreams and goals live.  Of course, short for 'as a matter of course' happens because the path is already been laid out and constructed just like a road but then you don't leave the road.  If you are listening to my podcasts then this is not the life that calls you.  The only people who listen to my podcasts are people asking questions and ongoingly exploring being their best to make the kindest and sincere difference in the world possible for them.  This podcast explains why to be wary of the "of course".

Passed vs Past is an important definition for me when remembering my parents.  This episode is personal and touches on connection, spirituality (not religion), love and loss.  What better time to honor my parents than today my birthday and look at something that touches us all when we can no longer wrap our arms around someone we love.

Yes I use the word must, because this episode is a big one for you finding and living your life's purpose and that means it's in the 20% of when using MUST and it's appropriate.
We are often told "don't sweat the small stuff" well it depends on what small stuff you are talking about, because the key to living a fulfilled successful life is made up small stuff and this episodes explores that.

Algorithms run our experience of all social media, phone games, youtube and internet by Google, Facebook etc inspecting what we visit and look at, working out what we and our friends are interested in and then showing us more of it, so a curiosity can soon turn into being bombarded with like topics until all of a sudden it is showing up everywhere.  
This episode explores the similarity to Algorithm programmes written by these companies to the Algorithms for some emotions programmed in our brain.

What if you could feel less stressed day to day just by changing one word in your language?  You can.  I am hearing this word more and more in our society to a point it seems to be becoming part of our culture and yet this word is driving up fear and being needy, is that what we want for ourselves, our children or our society?
