We all want to live the life of our dreams, and I’d say we’re very much in our right to want so. Nonetheless, to get to the desired destination we cannot avoid going through the journey of life full of ebbs and flows. I overcame most of the challenges in my life thanks to triple-ling down on mindset work. That journey actually led me to create Conscious Matters platform. As you know by now, I just recently expanded Conscious Matters to YouTube (same name, different content), thus adding another format where I mainly focus over there on mindset work. Utilizing the power of our minds to favor the outcomes of our lives is what we’ll be discussing about today with the amazing Elizabeth Thorn, writer, traveler and entrepreneur who used mindset work to completely transform her life in a way she absolutely loves!

Listen up to this gem,
Namaste listeners!

Have you ever said yes to something out of obligation, guilt, or fear when you really did not want to? Have you ever felt taken advantage of or disrespected to a certain extent?  I’ve been mentioning boundaries a lot throughout many episodes already but I think I’ve never fully dived into the nitty gritty of it. It’s super important to talk more about boundaries and how lacking them can be stressful, and detrimental to our well-being and to living in harmony with ourselves.

This month we’re trying to tame the plague of self-sabotage. Getting our inner critic to go from being our biggest enemy to becoming our best friend. Stopping it in order to prevent us from growing, expanding, reaching our wildest desires, and truly living the life we aspire to. 
 
What better way than discussing this subject in a way that helps us re-frame the scary parts of our ego, from battling with our inner critic to releasing fears to finally taking action while not forgetting to explore the laborious phases of self-doubt, procrastination, and lack of motivation?

We're back to talking about depression but from a lighter perspective. Who would have guessed that one of the worst period of your life could actually be a blessing in disguise? That's what I realized when I went through my own depression a few years back which eventually brought me to this path of awareness and this conscious lifestyle. That's also what - New York Times best seller author, recurring Oprah show guest, and the man who spent decades interviewing over 100 of the greatest spiritual leaders of our time to get their take on how to live a happy, peaceful, and meaningful life (including the Dalai Lama, Byron Katie, Oprah, Deepak Chopra, the late Mother Teresa, and Ram Dass) - Jonathan Robinson is writing about in this latest book "The Enlightenment project: How I went from depressed to blessed and you can too." In this episode, we discuss his 14th book, in which he shares over 50 spiritual methods and philosophies that really worked to overcome his depression and provided him with lasting inner peace - from mindfulness and depression to communication and personal transformation.

This month we’re taking advantage of this new moon right now to clean the slates and start anew stronger than ever but in order to move on healthily and efficiently, forgiveness is key. 

To me, forgiveness is an essential part of your growth, it’s about giving that grace to yourself by letting go of past painful experiences. Freeing yourself from the poison of anger, bitterness, resentment, and any other low-vibration feelings. It’s about reflecting and looking at things from a higher perspective.

Now that the travel restrictions seem to have been lifted in most countries, I asked myself if travel, money, the lack of ties or commitments, or any external element for that matter - is what we define as true freedom? To me, freedom is about liberating your mind first- which means liberating yourself from the inside. Liberating ourselves from our mental prison. We can be free from an external perspective but are we free inside of ourselves? Freeing yourself from the confines of your mind doesn’t only give you a sense of freedom but it’s extremely powerful. The kind of quiet power that will uplift you and help you get through every storm and ultimately making you stand tall on your own two feet. That’s what we’ll be exploring today.

Let’s talk about a specific modern reality that most of the time hinders our best self. Yes, I’m talking about the one and only star of capitalism (right after money): performance productivity! The one which is often the root cause of depression, anxiety, imposter syndrome, self-sabotage, and many more mental and physical health issues. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being busy but here I’m talking about the kind of busi-ness that becomes extremely unhealthy yet the kind that is praised by our society. The one that not only gets you stuck in the rat race but also deters your mental health. Why is productivity even a core value we have as a society? Who truly does benefit from it? When men function on a 24-H cycle, and women 28-Day cycle. 

Glorified performance productivity is what I want to talk about today. 

Why as humans, especially the millennial generation, are we crippled with fears that lead us to incarnate a version of ourselves that is far from the reality we want to create and which messes with our mental health?

Listen up to this gem,
Namaste listeners!

February the month referred as the “month of love”. This specific date … celebrations in general, can be seen as a good reminder to keep on putting out intentional efforts throughout the whole year towards that something that you’re celebrating on that day, to keep that energy all year around. Today, I’ll be touching on a subject very dear to me that I’d like to show more love for - even if I haven’t been vocal about it on here yet. That’s why I wanted to do an episode on showing love and affection to our dear planet.  I see the month of love as a good way to start or restart being extremely appreciative of our Earth and be more mindful of our individual impact on it, making sure that we - as lucky humans- are taking care of our home. To help me doing that today, I invited sustainability educator Meg Koch who is empowering others to create impact through her tailored practical and underwhelming approach to green living.
Even if we all are responsible for doing our part, for the sole purpose of easing our way to the matter at hand, today we’ll stick to individual impact not expanding about the role and responsibility of companies and governments when it comes to the climate crisis.

Listen up to this gem,
Namaste listeners!
