It is so important to have a healthy relationship with yourself. If this is missing EVERY OTHER relationship will suffer. It is from the out pore of our own relationships that we treat others.

We talk about how to have this healthy relationship with ourselves and some ways to implement that in your day to day.
We continue to dive into handling our emotions in healthy ways.
We share about our struggles and our successes as we have gone through this journey of life. It's not the easiest thing in life to choose healthy and we know.

Mindset is one of the pillars of a healthy life. You want to be at peace, focus on how you can develop your mind to befriend peace. Want to know love, let your mind look at love for what it is. As Bruce Lee said, 'As you think, so shall you become' It is so true that the things we focus on in life start to become our lives. If we focus on the things that suck, our lives will suck. If we can see the good in the challenging we will become good because of challenges. In this episode we want everyone to be motivated to choose a healthy mindset, one where they are master of their mind. This podcast is all about committing to helping you grow as a human, in all aspects of life! Thanks to Nettson for their song Instant as our intro and Jay Jen with their song wandering for our song taking us out.
How do you talk to yourself? It is incredibly important the way that you talk to yourself. Imagine you are a tower that stands 50 feet tall. With words that encourage you can build that tower taller and taller. On the flip side with words you can tear down that tower. In the past we have personally dealt with words that tear ourselves down, FROM US, and seen how destructive it is. We've grown and replaced those words with words that lift us up. From this experience we know changing the way we speak to ourselves is so powerful and want to share these with everyone. Thanks to LiQWYD for their song call me in our intro and Midnight Lover for their song ROFEU. Couldn't have the podcast without your help!

What is up all my peeps! If you got asked how your relationship is with yourself how would you respond? I've found in this world that if your relationship with yourself is unhealthy so will all your other relationships. So to remedy this Mike and I talk about how to have a healthy relationship with yourself. Every relationship starts with how you view the person you have a relationship with.

Ello all!! That is a little English way of saying hello. This week we are talking about thinking in an all or nothing manner and how it can lead to no always the best outcomes. Thinking in all or nothing puts our minds into a state of extremes. When we are in these states of high stakes we encounter we put ourselves into hyper aware places and act irrationally. A little thing could be the biggest or the biggest could be the smallest. What we aim for is a healthy in the middle approach. It leads to the ability to stay even keeled when it seems everything is going crazy around us. With this balanced approach we learn how to experience more peace and not rely so much on what is happening around us. This episode is great if you are trying to get some more consistency in your life and learn how to not be tossed to and fro by the wind. Join us this week as we talk about all or nothing thinking!! Thanks to LiQWYD for their song call me used in the intro and Midnight lover and their song ROFEU as our outro!
We are what we do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit. - Aristotle Our life becomes what we habitually do every single day. Our thoughts becomes our actions, our actions become our habits and our habits become our lives. We are just a bunch of little habits, or life practices, and by creating powerful practices in our lives we come to a place where our life is going the way that we want it to go. Charles R. Swindoll says 'life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react'. This sums up so well why it is important to have really powerful practices in our lives. When things get out of control around us, we are at least in control of what's within us, assuming we are practice inner peace. We talk about these practices and how impactful they are for us and how to establish these powerful practices. Thanks to LiQWYD for their song call me that is used in the intro and to Midnight lover for their song ROFEU that we use at the end to send you all off.
If we think about learning we often think of it in a negative way. Books, classrooms, lectures and useless information that takes up space in our minds. Today we talk about how learning is in every part of our lives and how important it is to look at it in healthy ways.

So often we want life to be all nice and complete. All our ducks in a row, in a nice present with a bow to tie it all together. But, as well know, this isn't life. Learning how to embrace this rather than constantly trying to make everything perfect frees us up to enjoy life rather than be on that constant hamster wheel. This weeks episode we talk about how to not just accept the process of life but to truly embrace it and enjoy it for all it's worth. It is work, that is for sure, but it is one thing you will never forget in life! Thanks to LiQWYD for our intro song call me and ROFEU for their song midninght lover as our outro.
When you think of the word failure, what is it that goes through your mind? Is it the plague that should be avoided at all cost? Is it the motivator that keeps you stagnant? Is it the worst possible thing in life? Failure is one of those things in our world that causes so many of us to run away from the things that would truly bring us life. It has such a powerful command over our lives, usually not in a good way. In this episode we talk about how to view failure in a different way, to not see it as this disgusting thing to stay away from. What we really want is for you to face what you are afraid of and still be able to move forward in life knowing no matter how much you fail or how big it is that you are loved. Thanks to LiQWYD for our intro call me and ROFEU for their song midnight lover as our outro. Failure is just the start of your greatest life!
It's hard enough to go through this world with others judging us but when we start to do it to ourselves it can feel like the world is crushing us. In this episode we focus on our judgement we direct at ourselves and how to handle it in healthy ways, aka compassionately. If we judge ourselves and get upset at judging ourselves it can easily create this loop that goes around and around, creating a prison of feeling powerless and insecure. To be free to be yourself you must not judge your own thoughts or declare yourself a mess because of a few unhealthy thoughts and actions. Join us as we dive into judgement and how we can still experience love in the midst of it. Thanks LiQWYD for our intro song called call me and ROFEU for our outro that goes by midnight lovers.

Let's face it, life has its times where it is so overwhelming that we want to crawl into a ball and pretend that nothing in the world exists. It can be hard to know what to do during these times, it can be challenging to figure out how to think and how to act when life becomes too much for us to handle. That is where peace comes into play. What peace does is provide an anchor in the storm, a safety net when you are walking the balance beam.

We all have the good intention to reach whatever goal we are setting for ourselves. Let's say we gave ourselves a goal to go to the gym a 3 times a week. For two weeks in a row we are able to go not 3 times but 4 times. But going into the third week we can only muster up enough energy to go once. We start to feel like we are going through this same cycle of believing we can do something but then never following through with it. What keeps us in this cycle of being super inspired then falling off the rails just a few months or weeks later? That's what we are talking about today in our episode, how do we overcome obstacles to our vision. We all have them, sometimes they are big obstacles and other times they are smaller but no matter who you are and what you aim to achieve you will go through something that feels like it is keeping you from getting to the place you want to be. If you want help in being bigger than your obstacles you've come to the right place. Thanks to LiQWYD for their song call me that we use in the intro.
