Make Life Better

Why do you have so many negative thoughts in your mind? 

How can you stop those negative thoughts? 

If you’re like most people, you often find yourself stuck in negative thought loops - thoughts of worry, stress, anxiety, fear, self-doubt and even anger, resentment or regret. 

If this is you, rest assured  - it’s completely normal! 

However, it’s also pretty annoying, right? 

These thoughts can prevent us from feeling happy, enjoying life to the fullest, and can wreak havoc on your relationships, career, self-esteem and so much more. 

In this training you’re going to learn: 

• The biological reason WHY we have so many negative thoughts
• What these negative thoughts are doing to your body (Hint: They’re NOT making you healthier)
• Tools you can use to stop those negative thoughts
• How you can literally rewire your brain to experience more calm, joy and inner peace on demand

Thanks for joining!

Sometimes Life Sucks. Right? Life can be hard. 

Something happens to you or in the world around you, and you can’t help but think, ‘Man, this sucks!’ or ‘Why is life so difficult all the time?’

Perhaps something crappy has happened to you in your life recently - you are going through a difficult breakup or in a bad relationship, you’ve been diagnosed with a chronic or even fatal disease, you’ve lost your job, or you’re struggling to make ends meet as inflation continues to rise. 

Life can be full of challenges. And at times it’s very common to think “Life Sucks”. 

I was recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and there was a part of me that immediately thought, “Life Sucks”. 

Thankfully, however, I understand the difference between “life” and our “life situation”. It our life situation that can suck - not life itself. And that’s exactly what I’ll explain inside this podcast. 

In this podcast you’ll learn: 

• The difference between “life” and our “life situation” that when understood is the key to living a joyful life no matter what is going on around you
• Why focusing on the constant change, or impermanence of life, will actually help you get through your most challenging times
• The beliefs that you learned as a child are still affecting your current reality
• How to harness the power of your mind to create a better life for yourself
• How to choose a new path amidst challenging times to bring yourself to new levels of joy

At the end of the episode, I’ve got an epic question for you. Make sure you find me on Instagram @KandisJames.KJ and let me know your answer to it! 

See you on the inside!

Have you ever found yourself ruminating on something you regret doing?
-
What about not being able to stop thinking about how someone wronged you?
-
Perhaps you've been stuck in a thought loop about all the bad things that could possibly happen in the future?
-
This is called overthinking.
-
Why "over"thinking? Because thinking about these things all day doesn't actually change the situation. In fact, the only thing it DOES do, is change YOUR emotions. (and not for the better).
-
If you've ever struggled with overthinking, you can listen here to learn from my own most recent struggle with overthinking, how I overcame it quickly - and how you can reclaim control over your thoughts to overcome overthinking and create peace of mind even amidst the most challenging times.

August 13, 2022 is a day I’ll always remember. 

--
Around 3:30am, I called 911 and ordered an ambulance to my house. A couple hours later I was riding a thin line between life and death. I spent many hours in the emergency room followed by days in the ICU before being released from the hospital with a diagnosis that meant my life would quite literally never be the same. 
-

Now, three weeks later I reflect on everything that happened and the lessons I’ve learned that will not only help ME live my own best life… but that can help YOU do the same. 
-

I’d love to hear what comes up for you as you listen to these life lessons and how they relate to where you’re at in life right now. Hit me up on Instagram @KandisJames.KJ and let me know!

NOTE: For anyone triggered by talking about illness, hospitals or symptoms, you can skip forward to 11:22 to hear the outcome (spoiler alert: I'm alive!) and the lessons that have come up so far.

So, today my car got broken into. And by broken into I mean someone cute the soft top of my convertible. 

Within a few minutes I felt a rainbow of emotions from anger to compassion.

And then I chose which emotion I was going to bring with me into the rest of the day. And I chose compassion and gratitude. 

Some people told me I should be angry. Some other people I spoke to were angrier about it than I was. 

I wasn’t happy that it happened… I love that car. But I also chose to accept it as if I’d chosen it. And that made all the difference.

–

In this episode, I’ll discuss with you:

• The key to accepting negative situations as if you’d chosen them (so you can get over them faster)

• How I was able to bring my emotional state back to the calm (despite knowing a large bill $$ was coming my way to fix the damage)

• How I use the 6 Mind Traps to assess the situation and move on quickly

• Ways that you too can learn to cope with negative life events with more ease

HOLY WOW - In this episode, I got an intuitive reading from Jen Conger - where she tapped into one of my past lives where I was a map maker in 1800s London. Whhhhat?? 

--

If this sounds exciting - LISTEN NOW.
--
If this sounds WEIRD - Listen Now.
--
Years ago Jen offered to read cards for me and a group of our friends/coaching colleagues. She was able to bring me the confidence, guidance and direction I needed to move forward in my biz in a way that felt exciting and light - and this reading is what got me actually writing my book (instead of just thinking about writing it). 
--
Jen is incredibly gifted, and you won’t fully understand the power of what she does until you listen to her speak, and give me a reading live on the show! 
--
Plus, during this epic conversation, Jen shares with us:

--

• The importance of intuition when it comes to creating your dream life or business

• How YOU'RE ALWAYS RECEIVING INTUITION - but most people don’t know how to use it

• Ways you can tap into your intuition NOW

• The power of intuition when it comes to all areas of your life - but particularly when uncovering your purpose & living your dreams

--

THEN, take a screenshot of you listening to this podcast, post it on Instagram and tag Jen and I to let us know your thoughts and takeaways after listening. @jenconger … @kandisjames.kj

ALSO, snag your spot in Jen’s FREE 3-day challenge, Awaken Your Biz to awaken to your next level of intuition, abundance and purpose. APRIL 13 - 15, 2022 ... SIGN UP NOW

Have you ever felt like the odd one out?

Like the odd ball in your family, group of friends or around your colleagues?

Questioned whether you actually fit in? 

Perhaps felt like the proverbial Black Sheep amongst a flock of white sheep? 

Well I’ve got news for you…
-
-
You’re not odd, you DO fit in, and you’re NO black sheep… You’re a Mother Bleepin’ UNICORN!!!
-
-
And you always were.
-
-
In this podcast episode I had the honour and privilege to host my dear friend Akeisha DeBaat, owner and founder of the brand new clothing line, You Always Were. 
-
Akeisha and I go waaaaay back to January 2019 where we met at a Business By Design event in Laguna Beach, California and formed an instant energetic connection. Since then we have worked together in many capacities, including ME being asked to be the ARTIST for this brand new design that she has just released. 
-
Talk about making two dreams come true at once! 
-
In this episode, you’ll hear us chatting about:

   • How to stay happy and motivated especially on the days when things don’t seem to be going your way.

   • The benefits of a constructive breakdown

   • What it means to be the UNICORN instead of the black sheep

   • The story behind the clothing creation and our collaboration

   • How to tap into CHOICE to create your best life

   • The limitless possibilities that we all hold at our fingertips

This podcast episode is extra special because while we are most definitely celebrating Akeisha’s next big venture… we are ALSO celebrating mine! She reached out to me just 7 weeks after I declared to the universe that I wanted to be a PAID ARTIST. And BOOM it happened. 
-
So this episode is truly about the power of possibility, manifestation, clarity and abundance. -

Have you ever just been going about your day, and someone says something to you that immediately makes your blood boil?
-
Perhaps you feel hurt, sad, angry or confused. Perhaps you feel a wild combination of all of those things as once!
-
You feel the heat rise in your body, and you're unsure if you'll scream at them or cry.
-
Perhaps you say something back, perhaps you don't.
-
But either way it weighs heavily on you for hours, days or sometimes even weeks. The hurt and anger just can't seem to dissipate.
-
I know how this feels, because I've been there. It's hard to understand how or why someone would say those things to you.
-
But the longer we sit in those feelings, the longer we allow those words to hurt us.
-
And thankfully, WE have the POWER to CHOOSE to not have those things hurt us anymore. With the right tools, you can learn how to bounce back with hours or even minutes of someone pissing you off or hurting your feelings.
-
In this episode I'll share with you the 6 steps I use to bounce back quickly when words have angered or hurt me.

---

Let me know what resonates with you. How will you put these steps into practice in the future? Is there a time in the recent past that you now see how these steps would have improved your day/week/month/life?

Have you ever waited so long for something in your life to happen - and then when it finally did, it wasn’t anything like you expected it would be?
-
Did you think that x, y or z would make you happy… But it never did?
-
Did you ever yearn to be FREE of someone or something (a job, place, house) so that you could FINALLY be happy, or do that thing you always wanted? But then... when you WERE free of that someone or something... you still didn't get what you'd been dreaming of?
-
In today’s episode we’re talking about what it actually means to be FREE to create a life you love - a life of joy, freedom, love and excitement.
-
We're talking about the important question: What does it take to actually be happy in life?
-
In this episode we will discuss:

• How to overcome the fear of judgement so you can do what you really want

• The importance of standing up for yourself, your beliefs, and what you want in this life

• How to finally be YOU in every sense of the word

• What it means to have freedom FOR instead of FROM  (key point to creating your best life)

• Plus, the meaning behind my “freedom” tattoo on my hand.

It was so unlike me...

​​When I looked through my list that I keep of potential podcast episodes to record an episode last week, not one of the 25 ideas I keep in a notepad sparked even the tiniest bit of joy or interest in me.

Part of me just wanted to go to bed.

I was feeling tired, lacking energy, hopeful yet apprehensive about the future at the same time.

And I thought… there are probably a lot of people who have also felt this way over the last two years.
--
--
So instead of going to bed, I decided to record a podcast about:

• How we are affected by the global collective energy

• Why so many of us have been feeling uninspired, uncreative, and unable to focus

• What to do when we recognize that we are being affected

• How to recreate a more helpful or useful energy instead

• How we can approach and deal with those around who do not share our views

• Ways to encourage peace and unity instead of hate, fear and division
