Podcasts about CALM

Sometimes calming yourself feels like too much work. In this episode, Tina introduces the idea of borrowed calm, which is the practice of letting your nervous system settle by connecting to something already steady. Whether it's a person, a pet, music, or simply stepping outside, this invitation reminds us that we don't have to create calm alone. For episode resources, see https://www.tinaboogren.com/.

INFJs often pride themselves on being observers. Calm. Detached. Above the chaos.But there is a truth many INFJs do not want to face.Watching is still participating.Your nervous system does not care whether you are in the center of the drama or quietly observing it from the sidelines. If your body is tracking tension, scanning emotions, and anticipating impact, you are already part ofthe dynamic.In this episode we explore the spectator illusion that many INFJs fall into.The belief that staying silent or neutral means staying untouched. In reality, observation can become a form of controlled involvement that quietly drainsyour energy. You will learn:• Why INFJs often choose the observer seat• How “neutrality” can mask hidden emotional participation• The nervous system cost of watching chaos for too long• The difference between true detachment and restrained engagement Sometimes maturity is not about analyzing the circus better.Sometimes the real power move is leaving the tent.If this resonates, you may start noticing something important about your own energy and where it actually goes.Subscribe for more insights on INFJ psychology, intuition, and nervoussystem awareness. All INFJ EPIC LIFE Programs: https://programs.wenzes.com/collectionsFree Resources: https://wenzes.com/INFJ-Free-Resource/ Website: http://www.wenzes.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wenzes_Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CoachWenzes

Welcome to a new episode of ASMR Sleep Recordings. In this episode, you will hear the rain on the city streets. Improve your health and happiness.The sound you hear in this episode creates a calm atmosphere and at the same time blocks out disturbing noises. This will help you de-stress, unwind, and rest. Enjoy two hours of relaxing sounds to help you relax, focus, study and fall asleep.About ASMR Sleep Recordings:The purpose of ASMR Sleep Recording is to help you sleep and concentrate better. This particular episode lasts two hours and has no ads in the middle, so you won't be woken up or disturbed while focusing or relaxing. When you listen to ASMR Sleep Recordings, you can lock your phone, so you won't get any bothersome stimuli from notifications and other sounds from your phone. You can switch between apps while studying or working without pausing the ambient sound.About our sounds:Water creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to running water is an ideal way to turn off all the stressful things life brings, and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds include a river, flowing creek, babbling brook, gentle waves on a lake, and a bamboo fountain. Rain also creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to rain is an ideal way to switch off all the stressful things life brings and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds are rain on an umbrella, hailstorms, hard rain, soft rain, gentle rain, wind and rain, rain on a car.White noise helps babies and children to get a better and deeper night's sleep. This is because external sounds are masked by the noise. With white noise in the background, your child will not hear annoying cars driving by or dogs barking in bed. This allows your little one to sleep better. And it also saves you as a parent a lot of hours!Pink noise is more common in nature than you might expect. It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise. It sounds a bit deeper and a bit bass-like. The benefits of brown noise are the same as the other types of noise. It provides relaxation, increased focus and improved deep sleep.DISCLAIMER: Be aware that loud noises can damage your hearing. If you can't carry on a conversation without raising your voice while playing one of our spheres, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Do not place the speakers directly next to a baby's ears. If you have trouble hearing or ringing in your ears, stop listening to the white noise immediately and see an audiologist or your doctor.

I'm back in my kitchen - this really feels like the place to speak to you - and I've been thinking this week about the juxtaposition between joy and pain, between the bitter and the sweet.It's something that came up in a conversation I had recently, and something that's been arising in the Gratitude Quest. So I thought we could reflect on that together today.In this episode, I explore:• How we learn to make space for both joy and pain within us - not as a meme of 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger,' but as a genuine capacity• Why cacao is a beautiful representation of the balance of bitter and sweet • A blessing I received from a wonderful teacher: 'I see you in your pain and your magnificence'• My own journey of believing I could only hold joy or pain, never both — and how I chose joy as my raison d'être, which became unsustainable• The devastating period of grief when I told Anton 'I feel as though I'm never going to smile again'• Getting really ill ten years ago and beginning to understand what would truly serve me• The awakening - deep, deep, deep down in the bowels of my belly - that I have the capacity to hold joy and pain simultaneously• An invitation to feel into where you are on this journey, and to know this capacity exists simply because of our humanityI close with a poem from My darling girl that I don't often share, but that appeared when I opened the book today. It speaks to the expansiveness of a heart that has space for every part of us.I also share details about two offerings: The Weekend of No Requirements 16-19 October (a luxurious retreat in Herefordshire with no requirements upon you to be anything other than how you feel) and Awakening Hopes and Dreams, a small group course beginning 26 March, 12.00-1.15pm (UK).Settle in, and see where the episode takes you. ★ Support this podcast ★

Send us your feedback — we're listeningIsaiah 40:31 — Jesus, Renew My Strength in These Middle Hours and Lift Me on Wings When I Feel Worn and Weary Recorded Live from London, England — with Reverend Ben Cooper Isaiah 40:31 (NIV) — “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles.” Isaías 40:31 — “Os que esperam no Senhor renovam as suas forças; voam alto como águias.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV) — “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Coríntios 12:9 — “Minha graça te basta; meu poder se aperfeiçoa na fraqueza.” força renovada • coragem ativa • esperança viva — renewed strength, active courage, living hope força renovada • coragem ativa • esperança viva — renewed strength, active courage, living hope As noon rises across London and across every home listening around the world, this is the moment where strength begins to fade, where the weight of the day begins to show, and where the soul quietly whispers for renewal. Yet into these middle hours, Isaiah 40:31 declares a promise that does not weaken — those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. Jesus, You see the tiredness that collects by midday — decisions waiting, responsibilities pressing, the emotional weight of the hours already lived, and the fear of what still lies ahead. But You speak into this moment: hope is not passive; hope lifts, hope renews, hope restores. Like an eagle rising on unseen currents, You raise us above the heaviness of the day. Lord, lift every listener who feels drained, frustrated, or stretched thin. Calm the mind that is racing. Strengthen the heart that feels fragile. Revive courage in those facing uncertainty. And let these middle hours become a turning point, not a point of collapse. Your grace is enough — Tua graça me basta. Your power is made perfect in weakness — Teu poder se aperfeiçoa quando me sinto fraco. Your presence does not waver at noon; it intensifies. Jesus, renew my strength now. Replace exhaustion with endurance. Replace heaviness with hope. Replace striving with trust. Let this midday become a holy moment where You breathe life back into the weary places.

Welcome back to The Dark Paranormal.When a paranormal investigator decides to purchase a reportedly haunted house in the remote Ozark Mountains, the goal is simple: create a personal “paranormal laboratory” to study unexplained phenomena over years rather than a single night. But what begins as a rational experiment soon blurs the line between investigation and experience. In this chilling account, Dr. Steve recounts eight years living with unexplained activity in a 140-year-old Missouri home where apparitions, voices, strange physical disturbances and unsettling encounters slowly reshape the way a scientist understands the paranormal. Calm for months at a time, the house occasionally reveals something far more unsettling—leaving one question lingering above all others: what happens when the place you're studying begins to study you back?Stay safe,Kevin.We're giving a full weeks trial of our Patreon away! Just head over on the link below and away you go!www.patreon.com/thedarkparanormalIf it's not for you?

  The Art of Ubuntu—your layered practice day, designed to help everything you've learned this week become simple, usable, and real. In today's meditation, you'll gently combine the core techniques from earlier sessions—breath, mudra, grounding, and an Ubuntu affirmation—so you can settle your nervous system and return to connection in just a few minutes. This is a supportive practice for busy days or emotionally heavy moments, reminding you that belonging isn't something you have to chase—it's something you can return to, breath by breath, right where you are. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to The Art of Ubuntu—a meditation series inspired by the African philosophy that reminds us: "I am because we are." Ubuntu is the practice of remembering our shared humanity—especially in moments when life feels isolating, tense, or divided.

In this episode of Crina and Kirsten Get to Work, our hosts tackle part two of Performance Improvement Plans (“PIPs”) from the employees perspective. A PIP, to remind listeners, is still the same document—written performance gaps, expectations, timeline, support, consequences—but from the receiver's side it lands less like a development tool and more like the death knell. There's that heart-pounding meeting, the polite tone, the printed packet, and suddenly our brains are cycling through shock, shame, anger, and a quick mental calculation of our mortgages. The stories rush in: “This is a setup.” “I had no idea.” “My boss never liked me.” “I'm doomed.” So first: regulate. When cortisol is driving the bus, our executive function is in the back seat. Breathe. Take notes. Ask for 72 hours to review. We don't have to debate our entire careers in a single meeting. And don't sign blindly if you disagree—request time, add written comments, clarify whether you're signing as “received” rather than “agreed.” At the same time, don't give anyone ammunition; professionalism is our shield. Get clarity for what is missing in writing: ask for specific examples, request measurable targets, and what “success” looks like at the end of the period. If something feels legally risky—protected leave, discrimination—loop in HR or an employment attorney early. Calm is strategic. Then comes the paradox: work the plan, even if you're skeptical. We can translate the PIP into our own micro-goals. Treat it like a project with deliverables, evidence, and weekly metrics. Use check-ins wisely—bring receipts, ask what an “A” looks like, request training or resources, and get specific about the skills you're expected to build. Meanwhile, manage the nervous system somewhere other than the manager's office. And we need to consider whether we have the skills, experience and mindset to achieve the goals the employer set for us - and whether we have a chance at convincing our employer that his the case. And yes, consider a parallel path. Update the résumé. Polish LinkedIn. Network quietly. Doing our best and planning our exit are not mutually exclusive; they're smart risk management.  A PIP requires action, whether that be bringing our A game or finding something new - in the end, the choice is ours.

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! We're breaking down a busy week in politics at both the national and state level. We start with a look at the 2026 State of the Union, where President Donald Trump delivered the longest address in U.S. history and laid out his agenda on the economy, immigration, and foreign policy amid sharp partisan divisions. Then we turn to Georgia politics, discussing new polling in the races for governor and lieutenant governor, as well as the ripple effects of several recent retirements in the Georgia House. We also examine the shifting Democratic field after Rep. Ruwa Romman dropped out of the governor's race and what it means for the party's strategy heading into 2026. Plus, we talk about the Georgia House's passage of a tax cut package that Republicans championed but Democrats opposed, and what it could mean for the state budget. Finally, we zoom out to the global stage to discuss the ongoing conflict with Iran and how it's shaping U.S. politics and foreign policy.

Welcome to The Calm & Happy Home Podcast!This week, I'm talking about the Ostrich Effect. The very human habit of burying our heads in the sand and hoping that if we don't look at something, it might just sort itself out.In this episode, I'm sharing how avoidance quietly shows up in our homes, our wardrobes, our drawers and our lives, and the small, gentle steps we can take to finally lift our heads back up.Inside this episode, I'm talking about:What the Ostrich Effect actually is and why we all do itHow your home is a mirror of everything you've been avoidingThe unopened bank statements, the drawer of doom and the wardrobe full of old versions of yourselfWhy avoidance isn't laziness, it's usually overwhelm or emotional weightHow stuck energy in your home is linked to the things you haven't dealt with yetWhy you don't need a big life overhaul, just one small thing at a timeHow March's momentum energy is calling you to gently ease your head out of the sandYou cannot always control what's going on around you. But you can control where you place your attention.So the question becomes, what have you been avoiding?2026 Year of the Horse Energy Planner: https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/2026-plannerYou can buy The Calm and Happy Home now:Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Books-A-Million | Indigo | Watkins Publishing Join the community at somuchlove.com and follow along @somuchlovekimberleySo much love, Kimberley xxA bespoke analysis of your home to unlock the exact remedies your living space needs to support you in a life of more abundance and prosperity: https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/home-analysis-serviceWork with me 1 to 1 here!If you loved this episode don't forget to subscribe, leave a 5* review on Apple Podcasts and tag me in your stories on Instagram @thefengshuiflow! xx Hosted on Acast.

As we go through our lives, all the stressors, anxieties, bumps in the road, past traumas all add up and begin to sort of paint us into a corner and sometimes it feels like avoiding them will make them easier to deal with. Out of sight, out of mind...but over time we begin to see that there is no avoiding truth because what tends to happen is instead of avoiding that thing we are pretending doesn't exist, we end of fixating on it. Instead of avoiding the thing, it begins to run our lives in so many unproductive ways. This meditation aims to help gain perspective on this and reminds us that recognizing and acknowledging, much like acknowledging thoughts while in meditation, makes moving on with our lives so much easier.

What if the real reason you're constantly anxious, exhausted, and unfocused has nothing to do with aging or hormones but an overlooked system in your body? In today's episode, Jonathan Hacker reveals the power of the vagus nerve and how stimulating it can be the key to unlocking a balanced life without pills or stimulants. Jonathan's journey into neuroscience began at age 12, and today he's leading the way in neurotechnology with a tool that helps reset your body's stress response. Jonathan emphasizes that by targeting the vagus nerve, we can train our bodies to switch between the fight-or-flight mode and a calm, restorative state. We also talk about how his innovative ZenBud device, which uses ultrasound to activate the vagus nerve, is helping people regain control over their body and mind.

Welcome to a new episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. This special episode – the last of two question-and-response (Q&R) installments – marks the publication of the second book by Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach Jo Confino. Calm in the Storm: Zen Ways to Cultivate Stability in an Anxious World is intended to help readers meet the current polycrisis with love and stability, but also forcefulness and resilience. According to Plum Village tradition, Jo and Brother Phap Huu recorded two episodes responding to questions by listeners which connect to the book's themes. In this second part they answer questions on dealing with anxious thoughts, raising children in uncertain times, reacting to the anger of those around us, managing fears and hypochondria, and much more.

Le Guinhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursula_K._Le_Guin The Sun My Hearthttps://www.parallax.org/product/the-sun-my-heart/ Quotes “If Buddhism is not engaged, it’s not Buddhism.” “We have to study the meaning of calm, because when we say ‘calm' or ‘sitting meditation', that may look like non-action. But what we have seen in some of the most impactful work is that, when people take the time to be still, to listen, and to embrace and hold feelings and emotions and these projects in a calm manner, they are able to direct, lead, and not be carried away with the force field of anxiety, of fear, of restlessness.” “Mindfulness is only true mindfulness if it’s generating love and compassion.” “We can say so many things about Buddhist history and Buddhist philosophy, but what the Buddha transmitted to us and really wanted was for us to ask the question, ‘How can I put these practices into daily life?'” “When everything is changing, the most important thing is to also know what needs to remain the same.” “Our mindfulness should not be a blockage to other people’s engagement with us – but, at the same time, we do have to have boundaries. We do have to have clarity.” “Mindfulness is to lead an ethical life. If you’re practicing mindfulness and you’re continuing to cause harm to the earth, to living beings, to yourself and your loved ones, maybe that is wrong mindfulness. As Thay said, ‘Is the burglar mindful?'”

In this episode, I explain why calm is not optional for men, especially men in leadership. Calm is not a personality trait you pick when you feel like it. It is a requirement. When emotions rise around you, that is a pressure event, and people are watching how you respond. If you lose control, you lose position in the hierarchy without anyone saying a word. Show Notes: [07:15]#1 You are leaking neediness. [13:29]#2 You explain yourself too much in an engagement between a man and a woman. [17:28]#3 You are reactive. Instead of being contained.

Kingdom Calm Over Worldly Anxiety is a sermon from Matthew 6:25–34 about how Jesus confronts our age of anxiety with a better way to live. The message contrasts a world where one in three adults wrestle with anxiety and depression with the calm Jesus offers as we trust a Father who feeds the birds and clothes the lilies. The message shows that anxiety isn't just emotional but deeply theological, springing from misplaced allegiance to money, image, or control instead of God. It walks through Jesus' command to “seek first the kingdom of God,” explaining that this is not a vending‑machine promise but a reordering of our priorities around His rule. Pastor Matthew then gives four practical rhythms, starting the day in awe, worship as spiritual therapy, trading “what if?” for “even if,” and persistent prayer, to help believers live with kingdom calm in a worried world. Finally, it lands in the gospel: the God who did not spare His own Son will surely meet us in tomorrow's troubles, so we can rest today in His care.

Two lessons in one on this broadcast consider teaching from Jeremiah the prophet of old and great assurance when Christ addresses our lives.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

In this episode, I talk directly to men about why calm is not optional. If you want to lead, if you want authority, calm is a requirement. When emotions rise around you, especially in pressure moments, your job is not to match the energy. Your job is to hold your position. I explain how every pressure event is a test of your stability, and people rank you based on how you respond. If you lose your calm, you lose position, even if nobody says a word. Show Notes: [02:35]#1 Emotional escalation tests your containment, not your empathy. [10:42]#2 Reacting emotionally collapses polarity. [16:03]#3 Calm signals control of consequence. [21:12] Recap Next Steps: --- Power Presence is not taught. It is enforced. If you are operating in environments where hesitation costs money, authority, or leverage, the Power Presence Mastermind exists as a controlled setting for discipline, execution, and consequence-based decision-making.

Calming Down Won't Make Your Life Easy (The Cross Still Remains) | Catholic Mom Learning how to calm your nervous system is powerful. Breathing slowly. Stepping outside. Drinking water. Getting out of fight-or-flight. These tools matter. But they do not mean your life will suddenly become easy. In this episode, we talk about where psychology meets Catholicism — and why even the most regulated, peaceful Catholic mom will still have a cross to carry. You'll hear about: Why calming down helps you think clearly — but doesn't remove suffering The difference between reducing chaos and eliminating the Cross What redemptive suffering really means Why no one escapes the Cross (and why that's actually mercy) The temptation to carry crosses poorly — or carry ones God never asked for How to stop trying to "out-hack" your suffering The grace God always gives for the day you're in God does not forget you. He does not accidentally assign you the wrong life. He does not ask you to carry something without giving you the grace for it. You may still have hard days. You may still say, "I'm having a very human day." But the goal isn't a cross-free life. The goal is to carry your cross well. And strangely — that is the easiest life available to us. You are not alone in your suffering. And your cross is not meaningless.

What if better mental health didn't start with a strict routine—but with fresh air, quiet focus, and one clean swing? On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, we explore how golf can become a simple, grounding wellness practice. This episode is for anyone feeling distracted, stressed, or disconnected—and for curious non-golfers who want a gentler path back to presence. Guest Bob Labbe shares how golf trains focus, patience, emotional control, and integrity—skills that travel far beyond the course. About the Guest: Bob Labbe is an inventor and engineer who applies a problem-solving mindset to golf and wellness. He's played over 3,000 rounds across 27 years and created a quantitative lag-putting method shared in his book Putting by the Numbers. Episode Chapters:   00:06:31 Why golf as a wellness conversation 00:08:18 A calmer kind of mental health: morning, fresh air, presence 00:10:09 Are early holes easier? Golf as a life metaphor 00:11:58 The 15-second mind: deep focus and quiet attention 00:14:23 The engineer's approach: solving lag putting with numbers 00:17:42 Golf off the course: character, trust, and decision-making Key Takeaways: Treat each shot like a short mindfulness practice: quiet mind, single focus, then release. Golf is “you vs. you”—use it to build self-awareness, not self-criticism. Integrity matters: calling your own penalties builds internal accountability. If you're new, start with lessons to avoid building stressful habits. Practice consistently—especially putting, which can be a major part of the game. Use the course as a real-life mirror: patience, emotional control, and presence.

What if the most powerful mental health tool you have is the first few minutes of your day? In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, we explore how “Miracle Morning” isn't about perfection—it's about meeting yourself with intention before the world asks anything of you. This conversation is for anyone who wakes up feeling heavy, rushed, or emotionally drained—and wants a simple, doable reset. Renee shares how gratitude, prayer/meditation, and a “future voice” script can gently rewire your morning energy, reduce digital overwhelm, and build momentum one day at a time. About the Guest: Renee Carbone Fleming is the founder of the Badass Queen Movement and host of the Unapologetically Badass podcast. She's also the author of Unapologetically Badass, a reflective memoir-style book designed to help readers learn, journal, and grow through life's challenges. Episode Chapters: 00:04:24 — Setting the theme: “Miracle Morning” and what this episode will unpack 00:08:24 — The core question: meeting yourself before the world demands anything 00:10:13 — Gratitude as an anchor when life feels heavy 00:11:08 — The biggest misunderstanding: it doesn't need “so much time” 00:13:09 — Why mornings feel emotionally charged (sleep, dread, motivation) 00:15:07 — The “future voice script” that changes mindset fast 00:26:30 — Where to find Rini + book details Key Takeaways: Start with 3 specific gratitude points to shift your internal state before scrolling. Try a future voice script: record your goals as if they're already true, then listen daily. Keep mornings simple: stretch for 5 minutes, drink water, and delay device time. Use calendar blocking to protect focus and reduce digital overload throughout the day. Reframe a miracle morning as a micro-movement of care, not a life makeover.
