We're all in our personal bubbles, but what you do counts. How you take care of yourself (or how you don't) genuinely affects the collective. While the next six weeks of generic and unimportant events unfold, make a special effort to keep your energy high. 

I consider myself a seeker, a New Ager and an appreciator of eastern spirituality. Maybe you can relate. But what if you prefer a healing idea or technique from mainstream therapy that seems to contradict more New Age ideas? I say go for the relief and don't worry about which culture or subculture you belong to.

An intuitive nudge - it could be a gentle, inner whisper to say or do something. Or it could be a freight train with a piercing whistle.

Shallow, rapid breathing = a state of fear. You can change that. In this episode, Legitimate Businessman (Jacqueline Delibes) reminds us how we can instantly calm ourselves in everyday situations.

Breathwork. Although it's not just for emergencies, in this episode I tell a story about the intense event that got me into this life saving practice.

For anyone reluctant to face stuck emotions, really powerful breathwork naturally brings jammed up memory/emotions to the surface for you to feel -- and release. That means you don't have to talk about or relive it. Genius.

BTW, although Legitimate Businessman is fictional, all these stories are 100% true! Got any questions? Leave a comment.

In this debut episode of Legitimate Businessman, I share a few stories about how my dad navigated an intense experience. Even if you've never been in combat, you'll probably go through challenging times. The key to recovery is to allow all those feelings to surface instead of acting them out.
