7 Steps to Get What You Need: A Simple Checklist āœ…

Weekly Message 7 Steps to Get What You Need: A Simple Checklist Many of us chase what we think we want while simultaneously tuning out to what we actually need to thrive. Although you can probably come up with a few other essentials that might fit your life, these 7 are pretty universal and cover a lot of territory. Here’s your practical quick checklist for thriving. Feel free to rate yourself on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being absolutely yes, and 1 being absolutely no. Do I breathe deeply and...

YOU ARE STILL here. Celebrate.

Weekly Message YOU ARE STILL here. Celebrate. It’s not about your issues. It never is. It’s never about diseases, being broke, arguing, struggling. It’s never about the stuff. It ends up coming around to 1 thing. Who are you becoming because of it. What habits are you breaking? What rigidities are being shattered? What biases and beliefs are being up-ended? For you to grow and change, CHALLENGE is what stirs things up. HARDSHIP is the breakdown of what you think was important. It provides you...

What's really inspiring?

Weekly Message What’s Really Inspiring? We ran a workshop a month ago called Authentic by Design. It’s a workshop that wraps self-appreciation with considering the things that are truly most important to you. What seemed to be most consistent? There was very little to actually change. For most, one to four things over the course of a year was enough. The rest of the work was really about ā€œBEINGā€. The work for most was about doubling down on expressing their appreciation and love they have for...

How to be ready for something new in life

Weekly Message How to Be Ready for Something New in Life Why worry about that if you can’t appreciate what you have right now. And I don’t mean, ā€˜yeah, yeah, I am appreciative’ attitude. I mean, heart moving, tear jerking appreciation for exactly as your life is right now. If you don’t have the skill to move yourself right now.. If you lack the skill to go deep with yourself.. Then once you get the new thing, it will quickly lose novelty and the chase goes on. You want to really be ready for...

The ā€˜kinda-cure’ for low energy

Weekly Message The ā€˜Kinda-Cure’ for Low Energy Lift your chest toward the ceiling. Tip your head back ever so slightly. Gently roll your shoulders back. Breathe up toward your face. This is the physiology of enhanced energy, excitement and enthusiasm. This is the posture of readiness. This is the structure that supports anticipation. Your eagerness for life, yes, it has a role in the mind. Yet without a posture and structure that is flexible and durable to support you, Your default setting...

Two pathways to stillness

Weekly Message Two Pathways to Stillness Stillness in the spiritual community comes from a place of ā€œnon-doing". It is idealized in sitting and attempting to ā€˜quiet the mind’. I would concur. There is a variation of stillness that comes from quiet contemplation. Yet an under-appreciated form of stillness comes from doing; doing what you love. When you are doing what you love, there is absolute stillness. A quieting of sorts or shall I say more of a contented mind. When I write, I am still. I...

Your body is a wonderland

Weekly Message Your Body is a Wonderland ā€œThe interference of the roof brain with the sexual function is peculiar to man and a source, as Freud never wearied of proclaiming, of much of what passes for ā€œmentalā€ illness. It seems to be characteristic of the human animal that it cannot accept its sexual function in the same uncritical way as it accepts its need for food and air. Both the intellectual and the emotional centres interfere with this function, and their interference, in many cases,...

Be thyself, know thyself

Weekly Message Be thyself, Know thyself Learning to listen to your body is a skill that helps you navigate life. Most of us won’t think of it that way. For most, it’s a meat-suit carrying a cranium of thoughts, that has little utility other than the mere performance of the tasks at hand. This next statement might sound like a far stretch, yet I’ve noticed that your body can be a reflection of how your mind interprets yourself and sees the world. It's a measure of consistent thoughts and...

Inner peace is a side effect

Weekly Message Inner Peace is a Side Effect Inner peace is a side effect of being in equity with yourself, others and the world around you. In the process of acting in the world, and exchanging with others, our brain is designed to keep inventory just like in accounting. It is constantly calculating the exchanges we have with others. How we feel can be broken down into a simple debt-surplus ratio from our minds, of what we think we owe others, or what we think others owe us. Perfect harmony...

January is "Get it Together" month

Weekly Message January is ā€˜Get It Together’ Month Typically, January is an expression of hope. It’s taking all of your life-long or year-long judgements of yourself (things you think you should have done, didn’t do, or wish you did) and sandwiching them all in an aggressive and intensive 31-day cycle. Then, when you don’t pull it off, February follows so you can get slightly depressed only to be soothed by the sugary chocolate of Valentine’s Day, and to have those around you remind you that...
