Things are crazy in the world right now, huh? Seems like they get crazier and crazier, but here's the deal… We can't change the way things around us are. Welcome to today's episode of The Mindset Mentor Podcast, where I'm going to give you 8 techniques to relieve daily stress that you may be feeling. You don't have to use all 8 every day, but you can pick and choose each one to try on for size! The level of your stress and anxiety right now, will be a direct reflection of how much you are resisting the way that the world is. The people around us are the way that they are, and we can't control that. Don't resist. Let's practice these great techniques to remove stress: Practice your breathing. 6 deep breaths, in through the nose… out thru your mouth. A long exhale will slow your heart rate down. Focus on gratitude. What you focus on grows. We need to change our perspectives. Thinking about everything you don't have, and all the people that you wish were different… think about this… Those thoughts alone can be extremely stressful. When you desire something, you create a space between who you are now and who you think you'd be if you had that “thing”... and that takes you out of your current state, telling your brain that you aren't going to be happy until you have that thing. Go for a walk! Forward physical motion seen through the eyes, will actually lower your cortisol levels. Cortisol is a stress hormones, so if possible I highly recommend that you go for a walk in nature. Science says that these walks in nature will lower your cortisol AND your stress levels. Time to write!! I'm not gonna call this journaling… (I don't want to stress you out any more…) Scientific studies have shown that the act of writing things down, can help to get rid of some of the mess that's in your head… OUT. This will help relieve you and give you more peace of mind. Get your blood levels checked- I know this one sounds weird but it's just science my friends. I personally was feeling off a while back, got my blood checked, found out I was Vitamin B & D deficient. So, I made sure to get those vitamins in my system, and BOOM. Almost instantly my mood and stress levels corrected. Try to stop drinking so much caffeine… especially if your stress levels are out of whack. Side note: Sometimes caffeine is a bit of a crutch to help you get the energy you need throughout the day, that you wouldn't actually be needing if you did #5 on this list, which is getting your blood checked to make sure your body is running optimally. Force yourself to watch 10 minutes of comedy. Laughter will release dopamine, and dopamine release will decrease your cortisol levels. When cortisol levels decrease, you are going to feel more relaxed, and less anxious. Laughter stimulates the release of your body's natural feel good chemicals as well which temporarily relieves pain the body, and helps your muscles relax. Be cautious of the music you're listening to. There is a time and place for everyone to get to listen to Slipknot. But when you're desperately trying to relieve your stress levels, then you need to be a little more picky and careful with what you listen to. My personal stress reducing song: Weightless, by Marconi Union (Please go look it up, it's life changing.) As I mentioned before, no one is suggesting that you try and do all of these 8 things everyday, but what I am suggesting is you try them each out to see which help you the most. (even the ones that you may feel like wouldn't normally be for you…)If you like this episode… Make sure to share it with someone that needs to hear it and help us get the message out there so that together we can help make people's lives better and make the world a better place. And BY THE WAY:My first book that I've ever written is now available for pre-order. It's called LEVEL UP and It's a step-by-step guide to go from where you are now, to where you want to be as fast as possible.Within its pages, you'll discover powerful insights and practical steps that will revolutionize the way you approach your goals, personal motivation, and mental focus.

BONUS - Not So Nefarious Criminals FEATURING Bob Motta, Defense DiariesCW/TW - Foul LanguageHey there, it's Courtney! While we're taking a breather until season six, we're putting our mental well-being first. In the meantime, we've got a special treat from our Patreon archives for you - an episode from 'Not So Nefarious Criminals,' our fun and quirky podcast that takes a light-hearted look at petty crimes and dumb criminals. In this particular episode, we're joined by Bob Motta from Defense Diaries, and it's a gem we couldn't keep to ourselves any longer. During this episode, we delve into some classic Florida man antics, discuss food a lot (ever heard of Pierogi spaghetti?) and, of course, aliens make their usual appearance. We also touch on some… um… different cases involving potatoes and a rather peculiar $150 burglary. Yes, you guessed it, it's another wild Florida man story! So, if you're looking for a dose of humor and levity in the world of true crime, give this episode a listen. And please be sure to stay tuned for more captivating content coming your way soon. Before we dive in, I want to offer a slight disclaimer. The timing of this recording was challenging for me due to the recent loss of my mother, but I was determined to continue with 'Not So Nefarious Criminals' because I needed that sense of normalcy and laughter. I even felt like my mom was right there with us, sharing in our good time.

We're back after our summer hiatus, and hopefully feeling refreshed because we have a lot of wrongs to right. We reflect a bit on our approach to fixing our mistakes, but Susie is wondering why no one is apologizing to her for their mistakes. We discuss Brain Candy episodes 43 on Trolls and episode 44 on Race in America. We hear why Sarah was engaging the trolls when we started Brain Candy, but she no longer does, and she claims Susie still falls for people who demand too much of her time and attention. Susie explains why she was cringing at their social justice warrior approach to race in the Brain Candy episode, and why she prefers to focus on people's intentions now rather than whether they say the politically correct terminology. We talk about Rachel Dolezal, the white woman who pretended to be Black because she "identifies" as such. And Sarah realizes she needs to get back to her musical preferences instead of attending concerts with majority white people.Go to https://nextevo.com and use promo code: WRONG to get 25% off!More podcasts at WAVE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/artist/wave-podcast-network/1437831426See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Navigating the realm of art and comedy can often feel like walking a tightrope, especially when politics enter the picture. This episode features a conversation with Jason Seiler, an esteemed illustrator whose work has graced the covers of Time Magazine multiple times. Together, we uncover the nuances of capturing political figures in art, and the responsibility that comes with it. Jason shares his insights about treating his artwork as a form of recording history - a perspective that is both thought-provoking and reveals the delicate balance needed when dealing with political personalities. When Jason Seiler isn't painting, he's making people laugh. A personal anecdote leads us into his journey into stand-up comedy, spurred by encouragement from Steve Byrne who noticed his artwork for a documentary. Jason's first set at the Chicago Improv wasn't just a daring leap, it was a springboard for more opportunities. He shares the struggles he faced, his eventual triumph, and how Byrne continued to support him, paving the way for a remarkable career that blurs the line between art and comedy. We also delve into the challenges faced by content creators in today's world, and the courage needed to handle criticism. A bold statement by Jason about his video going viral, offers a masterclass in resilience and transforms our understanding of how art, comedy, and personal growth intertwine. This episode promises a deep exploration into the world of art, comedy, politics, and the surprising ways they intersect. Don't miss out on this engaging journey that spans from the pages of Time Magazine to the stages of stand-up comedy. JASON SEILER Jason Seiler is a Chicago based artist and standup comedian, and producer of The Breaking the Law Comedy Show! Originally from Green Bay Wisconsin, Jason moved to Chicago in 1996 and created a career for himself in illustration, painting covers for publications such as Time Magazine, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, MAD magazine and more!!! Always a comedian at heart, Jason had the pleasure of having the great Steve Byrne on his podcast, "Face the Truth", Steve invited him to try stand up for the first time and asked him to do a guest spot for him, at The Chicago Improv. I know, crazy right? Jason agreed to do it, the show went great, and he has since opened 5 more times for Steve, and the rest is history! His silly sense of humor, dry wit, and likable disposition, help illustrate stories and jokes drawn from personal experience.

Welcome back to "Hooked on the First Line," where James and master storyteller Cal Fussman dig deep into what makes the opening lines of novels so captivating. Today's focal point is the notoriously controversial but beautifully penned 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov. "Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta." These opening lines are as alluring as they are unsettling, a fitting introduction to Nabokov's tale.The episode doesn't stop at 'Lolita'; it branches out into the first lines of Nabokov's 'Ada' and 'Laughter in the Dark,' showing that the author's skill in gripping the reader is not a one-off but a recurring theme in his work. James and Cal talk about the stylistic elements, the melody in the words, and the ethical conundrums posed right from the first sentence. How do these lines affect our perception of the characters and the unfolding story? And how does Nabokov manage to lure us into complex emotional landscapes with just a few words? Discover the craftsmanship behind some of literature's most iconic opening lines.------------What do YOU think of the show?
