Friday Night Live - Using commitment to Protect Your Peace - Episode 10.65  

This show is still being dedicated to all the men sent to El Salvador without due process. Hoping for their safe return to our shores.

The Check-In

I’m struggling a little bit, getting a little anxious looking for my next opportunity, it’s been longer than I expected. But there’s nothing to do but to keep on going. 

At the moment, I’m fine, and I just have to keep it moving.

So there is an issue with Helese and the episode with her, but I will address that situation during our conversation.

There will never be a Helese and Calvin Pod again, I guess, Protecting my Peace.

Ultimately everything is everything right now and I’m working my plan.

The Check-In

-The "21/90 Rule" suggests that committing to a new habit for 21 days will help it become ingrained, and then continuing that habit for 90 more days will make it a permanent lifestyle change. By consistently engaging in a behavior for this duration, it's believed that the activity becomes automatic and integrated into your daily routine

- I’m honestly having a hard time right now. The economy has definitely slowed, and so has hiring. I needed this break, but I kept working, and even though I didn’t secure a position before my last job ended, as I said before, I did receive an offer, but a hiring freeze caused that opportunity to disappear. It’s hard for me to get up daily and go through the same routine with little results, but I have to keep my eye on where would I be if I continued down the road I was on. It wasn’t looking good, so I have to keep my eyes where I’m headed. Going back cannot be an option. 

I just have to keep doing the next right thing.

Tonight's Conversation

An "open relationship" is a type of consensual non-monogamy where individuals in a primary committed relationship agree that one or both partners can pursue romantic or sexual connections with other people. The key differentiator from cheating is mutual consent, honesty, and transparency among all parties involved.

What is Relationship Anarchy, exactly? In this video I go over how it is similar to, and different from, polyamory. I also review Andie Nordgren's nine point manifesto. -KaleWebsite: http://www.relationship-anarchy.com/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1xBdffi0m4

Tonight's Conversation

WTF is Relational Anarchy? 
Relationship Anarchy (RA) is a philosophy and approach to relationships that applies anarchist principles to intimate connections. Instead of adhering to societal norms and hierarchical structures often found in traditional relationships (like prioritizing romantic partners over friends or family), relationship anarchists emphasize autonomy, anti-hierarchical practices, anti-normativity, and community interdependence.

Swinging is a practice where couples, or individuals, engage in sexual activity with partners other than their primary partner, often for recreational or exploratory purposes. It's a form of non-monogamy, where couples maintain their primary relationship while exploring sexual intimacy with others.

Why is it called the swinging lifestyle?

The Check In

-I’ve spent most of my life in the DMV and I’ve tried to avoid working for the Fedreal government my entire life, and what I’m experiencing is probably the reason why. Everything just takes a very long time. That’s all I’m going to say about it. I’m just basically on hold.

-I hope that I’ve brought everyone up to speed on how my addiction has always been a part of my life, and how I'm now working to leave it in the past.

-My daughter is coming to visit later in the month, I’ll see if she wants to jump on the POD. I think that she could really tell me a lot about how she was affected by my addictive behaviors


The Conversation

- I've never really been monogamous
- Having conversations with my Ex-Wife even before we got married, created a safe space for us to grow together.
- We will start talking about different forms of Ethical Monogamy going forward
- Recommend everyone read Designer Relationships: A Guide to Happy Monogamy, Positive Polyamory, and Optimistic Open Relationships

Esther Perel - So let’s talk about Ethical Non-monogamy.

The Check-in

-I think that the last two episodes have been kind of heavy. I've been processing my first thirty days and dealing with some relationships the right way. More to come! Things are going well

-I’ve finally completed all the checks and paperwork for my new position. Should have my starting date soon I’m still practicing patience. The universe will do what the universe will do.

-So I’m going to wrap up what we’ve been talking about up until now. My addiction. I believe that I’ve been laying down a firm foundation. So at the end we’re going to light some sage and do a smudging ceremony. Clear out some bad energy, and some intentions for the next thirty days.


Let’s Recap - Let’s talk about the Elephant In the Room - Stigma and Shame

I think that the most important thing that I received from the last thirty days is my little saying. It’s come to my realization that I feel anxious most of the time and I really don’t know why. I think that I’ve been recognizing it more and that’s been helping a lot.

-Know your Truth
-Walk in your Truth
-Be able to recognize what’s trying to pull you away from your truth
-That’s the friction - Anxiety
