    Roadblocks as Synchronicities: Finding the Hidden Upside to Challenging Situations

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 24, 2022 57:03


    When we talk about synchronicity, usually we're referring to an overtly positive stroke of luck. But what if synchronicity occurs in ways that initially seem like roadblocks, too? It's how we respond that determines whether we'll be able to reap the benefits. In this episode, we discuss: The importance of seeking the hidden upside in roadblocks we encounter. An example we encountered during our moving preparations. How this unforeseen challenge initially caused panic, then paved the way for some revelations for us. Getting in touch with what's truly essential for us in our lives (both belongings and activities). How we let our current "program" (habitual behaviors), automatic responses, and material belongings dictate our identities — but we don't have to. Our shifting relationship with the domestic goals we've set for ourselves over the past few years. Another example of a "roadblock" synchronicity that came up as Eric was planning a trip with his dad.

    Stop Doing What You Hate So You Can Be Happy “One Day”

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 10, 2022 55:25


    This week's episode is all about the “doing to get” paradigm: the all-too-common belief that we must forgo our happiness & wellbeing in the present in order to experience happiness at a later point in time (which is never guaranteed). The classic example is someone who works the job they hate for most of their life, with the (illusory) promise of security and freedom after retirement. How can we start to shift out of this pattern and build a life that feels good in the now? In this episode, we discuss: What is the “doing to get” paradigm? Practical examples in our lives involving exercise and diet. A process to shift out of this old way of thinking and into prioritizing our wellbeing and enjoyment in the now. The importance of envisioning your ideal *state of being* over an ideal physical/material outcome. How to examine and question the beliefs that are holding you back from pursuing this. Taking inventory of where in your life you're already experiencing your ideal state of being, however small or big those instances may be. Giving yourself radical permission to pour more energy into activities, people, places that pull you into that aligned state of being. An application of this process to Eric's relationship with music. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions for interviews, be sure to email them to WhatIsLifeDudeShow@gmail.com.
