    Creating Work-Life Balance

    Do you struggle with finding balance between work and your personal life? It often feels like there’s not enough time in the day, which is the pattern of most days for many of us... So how do we find work-life balance? If we can figure this out, it can help to reduce stress and prevent burnout in both the workplace and personal life. Work-life balance involves juggling workplace stress with the daily pressures of family, friends, and time for you. While it may sound impossible, we believe it can be found (at least to some degree) with effort. Join us as we explore what work-life balance means and the effects, both positive and negative, as it impacts many areas of our lives.

    The Impacts of Limiting Beliefs

    Throughout your lifetime, you’ve built up beliefs about the world. What’s fascinating is the physical effect of these beliefs. The more you reinforce them, the more pronounced the impact on your body.If you slouch; if you tend to look at the ground when you walk; if you carry extra weight; if you repeatedly have problems with a specific body part – then your body is exhibiting the physical manifestation of limiting beliefs surrounding your self-image.Limiting beliefs often show up as persistent agitation, queasiness, anxiety, depression, indecision, quick temper, and other emotional issues. Another important clue is the way you talk about yourself, to yourself, to other people, and about the world. Are you mostly negative? Mostly positive? Do you complain and blame?Join us as we explore limiting beliefs, where they come from, how we cling to them, how they affect us, and maybe even how to let them go.

    Are You Being Authentic?

    Authenticity as a character trait means a lot of things to a lot of people. For some, it is nothing more than a justification to say or do whatever they want. For others, it’s a little more subtle. Being authentic is not a performance as much as an honest relationship with ourselves. On the whole, we don’t like or trust people who come across as phony and false. We seek friends and colleagues who are genuine.Often we judge a person's authenticity by how aligned their actions and values are or by the passion and commitment they have for what they say and do. We feel comfort in just being, standing up for what we believe in, and speaking our truth even if it is not what others want to hear.It begs the question, authentic to what? What is authenticity and how do we embody it? Join us as we explore authenticity, its meaning and its impact on our lives.If you enjoy the conversation, subscribe to this channel and learn more about our work (tarot, astrology, reiki and more) at http://jayacollective.com

    Relationship to Independence

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 1, 2019 46:33


    We live in a culture that worships independence. After all, independence is as strength and freedom! Many of us even demonize any degree of dependence as though need or assistance will serve as a crack in the windshield that spreads over time, weakening the entire structure of who we are, and ultimately ensuring our eventual collapse. But will dependence really make us fragile beings, or is it possible it actually strengthens us? To avoid the judgments of others (and ourselves), we may try to conceal the reliance that is intrinsic to our nature as humans. We are, after all interdependent, social beings that require involvement with others to meet our essential physical and emotional needs and to grow and thrive. The definition of dependence is “reliance on something or someone.” The definition is neutral; but for so many, “dependency” is a dirty word. In our “me” centered, culture, it is a widespread belief that to achieve maturity we must become entirely autonomous and self-sufficient. If we allow others to become dependent on us, or we are dependent on them, it is viewed as negative or even pathological.Subscribe to this channel and learn more about our work at http://jayacollective.com

    Do You Trust Or Walk Away?

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 22, 2019 45:51


    What is trust? Is it an act of faith or is it a sense of reliability based on past experience, facts, and data? Trust is both an emotional and logical act. We feel trust. Emotionally, it's where you expose your vulnerabilities to people believing they will not take advantage of your openness. Logically, it's where you have assessed the probabilities of gain and loss, calculated expected utility based on hard performance data, and concluded that a person will behave in a predictable manner. In practice, trust is a bit of both. Trust begins as an act of faith and evolves into a belief based on evidence. I trust you because I have faith in human nature and I have experienced your trustworthiness.Join us as we explore the many ways we can define trust, and learn more about our work with tarot, astrology and Reiki at http://jayacollective.com

    How Do You Access Your Strength?

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 25, 2019 47:14


    So often, the strength displayed by people is a guise to cover up hidden wounds. We try to present ourselves as strong, independent beings, as confident and un-phased by events around us. In reality, it is often a facade, a cry for attention rather than an element of fortitude.Strength is not drawn from repression or hiding our wounds. It's not in offense or defense or tied to our ego. It's not having it all together or always knowing the answer.Strength can lay it all bare; and as hard as it is to believe, it garners either reverence from those who understand it, or is perceived with intimidation. Strength is mutable, willing, and able to accept what is dealt, and deal with it, with grace. You can find it in the depths of vulnerability, in the throws of humility, and that blissful moment when you finally let go and accept what lies before you.After the episode, visit http://jayacollective.com

    What's Your Love Language?

    It is believed that every person has one primary and one secondary love language, and people don't always give love in the way they prefer to receive love. Since we don’t all have the same preferences as our partners when it comes to giving and receiving love, this is how relationships can start to get sticky. By understanding our partners’ natural love language, we can begin to tear down walls in our romantic lives. Love Languages don't only apply to romantic relationships, either. They can pretty much be used to any relationship. Join us this Friday as we discuss the five Love Languages, how to pick up on what other people's preference is, and how communicating in your partner, child, or co-worker's Love Language can deepen your connection.Learn more about our work at http://jayacollective.com

    What does spirituality mean to you? Spirituality means something different to everyone. For some, it's about participating in organized religion: going to a church, synagogue, and so on. For others, spirituality is a non-religious experience that varies from person to person—some get in touch with their spiritual side through nature, yoga, meditation, or a belief in the supernatural.In a society where time-honored philosophies are reduced to t-shirt slogans and yoga studios, it would seem spirituality can be experienced, witnessed, and even purchased in nearly every city in America. Just slap a smile on your face, sit crossed legged, and clear your mind to tap into the mysterious and alluring bliss known as spirituality. Sounds simple, right?

    How To Communicate Effectively Without Losing Your Sh*t

    Play Episode Listen Later Oct 19, 2018 53:36


    Communication is much more than the words we speak. It is both verbal and non-verbal which means when we talk to someone, we're communicating more than we're saying. In fact, the words themselves only account for 7% of how others interpret what we say. 38% of interpretation lies in how we say things (tonality and inflection), and the remaining 55% is body language. Over 50% of what we say is interpreted through body language! Think about that the next time you text something important. And talking is only part of the equation...We have two ears and one mouth -- hearing isn't the same as listening. We selectively hear what is said through our filter based on past experiences, current mood, etc. and fill in the rest. Often, we pay more attention to what wasn't said than was and end up having a relationship with our assumptions more than the person standing before us. What's your style of communication? How has your past shaped the way you communicate or interpret? How can you be a more effective communicator? Join us to explore the many facets of communication and the possible ways in which to avoid common pitfalls. We also share what can be learned about communication through the lenses of astrology, reiki and body work!Subscribe to this channel and learn more about our work at http://jayacollective.com

    Who am I? The universal and sometimes haunting question starts with how we identify ourselves. At first glance, we may identify with our physical features, culture or race, personality, values and beliefs, sexuality and relational roles. We fashion our identity through life experience, new interests, societal demands, and the inevitable personal crisis. But how much of our identity is our own making and how much of it is predetermined? How do we express who we think we are when it conflicts with how others define us? How does your identity shift as your self-concept and awareness grow? Does our identity provide us a sense of belonging or does it inhibit our ability to connect with others?In this 2-part series, JAYA explores the many facets of identity.
