On this weekly episode, should you go with A or B better yet how about C no what about D? The paradox of choice is that the diversity of our choices cause us stress and, ultimately, a feeling of trapped unhappiness. So how does one navigate when there are twenty options in every store and restaurant? Not to mention the overwhelming stressing of dating in the twenty-first century.  Over the last two years, I have been posing the question is the purist of happiness flawed? If happiness is an emotion then it will never be constant. Emotions are fleeting in nature and they change like waves within the ocean. Then how or should we pursue happiness within our journey within life? Lastly SEX the pleasure, passionate, freaky, nasty, kinky naked dance we enjoy. How important is sex unto you and does one communicate this to a partner? Come with me as we take a look Under The Armor.

On this weekly episode, we discuss Fault finding is a universal habit, no matter who we are, where we live, or what our circumstances may be. We are taught not to point fingers at others, but this habit persists. Fault finding is a clever device of the ego. Why is it easier to find fault in others rather than addressing our own personal flaws? “In an age of speed, I began to think, nothing could be more invigorating than going slow. In an age of distraction, nothing can feel more luxurious than paying attention. And in an age of constant movement, nothing is more urgent than sitting still.”Pico Iyer, The Art of Stillness: Adventures in Going Nowhere. Have you ever tried to sit still for five minutes doing absolutely nothing? Does having nothing to do but listen to your own thoughts might feel anxious or uncomfortable.

How focus are you on being the ultimate pleasure for your partner? How you clearly communicating to your partner what is needed to allow you to climax?

On this weekly episode, we discuss reciprocity. While this is not something that can be exact. Due to the nature of one person being able to do what another person cannot. Reciprocity and cooperation are so valuable precisely because we do have various strengths and weaknesses. To create a reciprocal relationship, all partners need to be able to accept responsibility for that creation. The interdependence of a healthy relationship requires that all individuals accept personal responsibility. Tit for Tat theory believes that we will cooperate on the first move and then reciprocates whatever the other player did on the previous move. If they also cooperate on the first move, tit for tat would continue cooperating until they defected. If they defected, tit for tat defected but would switch back to cooperating if their opponent also cooperated. Lastly, we dive into Facts Vs Opinion. In today's society, reactions to events are so quick and predominantly thoughtless that the lines between objective fact and subjective perception begin to blur. People run into a problem when they don't realize how the slightest variation from a statement transitions it from fact to opinion. Come with me as we take a look Under The Armor.

On this weekly episode, We ask the question are we all hypocrites? Hypocrisy: the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one’s own behavior does not conform; pretense. In fact, we all are hypocrites. It’s unavoidable. There are too many counter-indicative philosophies and expectations running around in our culture, education, and institutions for us to be otherwise. Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another and feeling with the heart of another.” – Alfred Adler. This has been a weakness of mines I have been improving throughout the years. I detail how a change in through process has allowed me to be more empathic towards others. Lastly, I detail To mirror mediation which is the practice of gazing at one's self, you use a mirror to make eye contact with your own reflection instead of closing your eyes and turning your attention inward. This practice can become deeply intimate since it requires you to spend a few quiet, mindful moments sitting with not just your thoughts, but your own watchful eyes.

On this weekly episode, the habit of meditation is one of the most powerful things I’ve ever learned. Meditation has been shown to have mental benefits, such as improved focus, happiness, memory, self-control, academic performance. Some research on meditation has indicated that it may have other health benefits, including improved metabolism, heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, and more. Most common gym routines focus on moderate-to-high repetition ranges, usually 8-15 reps, to increase the size of a muscle. This is a great workout standard and a wonderful foundation for one’s weight loss and body transformation journey. However, I would like to discuss the idea of lifting heavy for 5 to 8 repetitions, while extremely challenging, can increase muscle strength, size, and muscle definition. While also debunking the myth that women should not lift heavy, or they will create a man like body. Lastly forgiving our parents is a core task of adulthood, and one of the most crucial kinds of forgiveness. When we hold grudges and resentment due to those traumatic experiences we encounter as children. By forgiving our parents we can start a journey toward happiness, self-acceptance, and maturity.

On this weekly episode, We all want to in control of our: life, relationship, and career. Here’s the benefit of being in control. We believe it is the most efficient way to live. However, whatever control we think we have is an illusion. 2020 has shown us that we are never actually in control; we only think we are. All we can really control is how we respond. Nothing else. There are benefits of giving up control. Compassionate communication is a skill I have yet to master. I am striving to thoughtful, compassionate in the way that I speak to others, choosing words that impart the perfect balance of empathy and assertiveness. The Indian philosopher J. Krishnamurti once remarked that observing without evaluating is the highest form of human intelligence. Lastly, we discuss Joy vs. Happiness part 1 Joy is an emotion. It’s a simple and light-hearted spark that transcends through your body and leaves feeling good vibrations. It carries no burden or expectations. Happiness also an emotion is usually accompanied by an attachment to an idea, a destination, or experience. As a result, it tends to weigh profoundly heavier on our subconscious. Usually, when we don’t meet these set expectations, it effects our happiness in the different areas of our lives. Come join me as we take a look Under The Armor. 

On this weekly episode, Put in the work, the phrased is use daily in school, work, business, and sports. In order to be great, impactful and, successful in whatever you have set your sights on in life. You must apply the necessary amount of effort and labor to accomplish something great. When they proclaim an athlete becomes an overnight success. That is extremely disrespectful discounting the number of hours the athlete has put in; training, working out, sharpening their skills and, increasing their abilities. Putting in work for years in order to reach this level of success. Everyone has negative thoughts from time to time we live in a world that is always giving us bad news. Covid, unemployment, mass shooting and, police misconduct. Negative thoughts drain energy and can prevent us from enjoying life.

On this weekly episode, sacrifice is this: “To forfeit something for something else considered to have a greater value.”. Sacrifice does not mean giving up something for nothing; it means giving up one thing for something else we believe is worth more. We sacrifice in every area of life: work, home, family, relationship. We sacrifice time, money, effort, energy. You cannot get something you want, without giving up something in return. In order to attain something you believe is of greater value, you must give up something that is of great value unto you. Are you willing to sacrifice with a pure heart? Declutter Your Life. Declutter Your Mind. I am reading The Stoic Minimalist by Jacob Martin and one of the first lessons speaks about decluttering your personal space. Let us be honest we all own a lot of shit we don't need and don't use. Our emotional attachment to items makes them very difficult to let go of. Finally, we have to come to terms with the fact that we do not buy what we need, rather we often buy what we want. Epictetus said it best: “Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.”  Have you ever scrolled for an hour without realizing what you're doing? Yeah, I have, too.
