The Slow Down Method

In today's episode, I give three points to challenge your life.  Check your circle.  People are either there to support you or they're there to impede your growth, make sure you got the right people in your circle.  Take responsibility.  At the end of the day, you are the one that makes the choices in your life.  Everyone will give you advice, opinions, and perspective, but it's up to you to figure out what is best for you.  Finally, enjoy life.  It may sound cliche, but there's more to life than money, status, and titles.  Take the leap and enjoy life.  Do something crazy or try something new, you might find that there is more to life than just the norm.  Challenge life and see what happens.  

In this episode I take the time to focus in on who you.  I bring examples in my life and ask the question, who are you?  I know that may sound silly, but I don't think we take enough time to see who we are or better yet, who we aren't.  I talk about God and life lessons I've learned growing up.  At the end of the day, you are responsible for your own life so make sure you're staying healthy.  Join me with some laughs, some more quirky saying, and of course my own opinion on how we can grow to be better.    

What is your purpose? I'm sure you've been asked this question a million times throughout your life.  For the longest time, I thought I had to figure it all out.  I mean, who wouldn't want to live out their passion for the rest of their lives?  Wow, doesn't that sound like a lot?  I think purpose is more than just one thing.  Actually, I hope it's more than one thing or else we're all just living our lives incorrectly for most of our lives.  Join me today as I share my thoughts about finding purpose and why this question brings too pressure for people that are made to do more.  

When I was a kid I had an ideal plan on how I wanted life to go...fast forward to life as a 29 year old and life looks different than my expectations.  Maybe you're like me, life doesn't exactly look like how you planned it to be, that's okay!  Oftentimes, we do this thing called, pivoting.  This is where we make space in our lives or look at different avenues we can go down.  Remember that change can be okay and if you feel stuck, sometimes pivoting can help us find the next step.  Keep going, you got this!

Don't worry I'm not trying to sell you a 12-week class on how to achieve your goals, but how many times have we failed in achieving what we want in life?  We oftentimes set unobtainable goals, don't have enough information to achieve effectively, and ultimately, we don't know how much effort we have to put forth.  I take the time to break down why these steps are needed and with a little planning, you will be able to focus on what you really want.

***Content Warning*** Please be advised that I will be talking about a sensitive topic that many people still deal with on a daily basis.  This podcast is not my normal content, but I wanted to talk about these topics to bring awareness and overall hope to my audience.  Again, this podcast is not for everyone and if this episode is not for you, feel free to check out other episodes or expect a new episode this coming Wednesday!  We're all a work in progress and this impromptu episode is a reminder that when you're in your darkest day or even on your best day, hope is on your horizon.  Keep breathing.  If you ever need to talk to someone, please consider calling 1-800-273-8255

You know what birds, humans, and math all have in common?  I don't know the answer, because they're all different things.  However, maybe you can find a similarity with all of them while you listen to this week's episode!  Join me as I talk about how being different is exactly what you need to be and how trying to live someone else's life isn't what you're designed to do.  I talk about the gym, my relationship with God, and one of my favorite movies.  In a world that is trying to fit in...it's okay to be different. 

Life is always changing and for my life, I am currently trying to find a new job.  Maybe you're like me and are searching for a new career path or looking to try something new.  Welcome to the dating apps of job searching aka Indeed.com's homepage.  I've looked at various jobs and job descriptions and what I have come to realize is that a lot of companies or even ourselves don't know what we're looking for.  Join me as I breakdown why finding a new job can be difficult and how you might actually be qualified for jobs that you've never done before.  As always, thank you for taking the time to listen!

Welcome to another episode where Dan talks about his life and how to navigate through life.  He gives life examples and shares hobbies that he enjoys that others may think is "weird."  Enjoy some laughs, some more voice cracking, and see how the life you're living isn't so different from everyone else's.  We're all a bit different so enjoy the journey!

Happy Wednesday and welcome to another episode!  This week, Dan talks about healing and why you deserve to heal.  Do we allow our past to build a stronger foundation in our lives or do we try to move on while the hurt still remains?  In a world where we are rushed to the next thing, Dan continues to slow down and allow space to process and heal.  Enjoy a episode where Dan's voice cracks, says the word "again" too many times, and encourages you to find the healing and help you need.
