A 2000 foot diameter space rock has stories to tell about violent events long ago. Asteroid hunters are eager to track this huge collision fragment and look for members of its family as it passes near Earth in 2026.

On this week's Let It Rip Friday, we discuss that sometimes the path you're meant to be on is lonely. Keep going.

Isn't it interesting that as moms we can LONG FOR alone time, when in the very same moment we feel LONELY.  How is that possible to feel lonely when we are continually surrounded by our little darlings?  It's because we long for intimacy, a relationship that challenges us and spurs us to growth through mutual edification.  We long for this kind of relationship from our spouse, from our friends, and from God as well.  We talk about it today in episode 143 of the Practically Speaking MOM Podcast.This is the fourth and final episode in our Mother's Day Week of short episodes. I end today with one of the mom prayers that I have on my website. It's a graduation prayer. Now you can find all of them HERE on my website www.PracticallySpeakingMOM.com, which is set up as the six rooms of the intentional mom's home. 

In this episode, the jungle is out to get our adventurer. Sit back, relax, enjoy this short story, and thanks for listening! Written and Narrated by Zack Miller. Follow us on Twitter @The_MNS_Podcast, Instagram @midnight_slumber_podcast, and on Facebook – Midnight Slumber.

My biggest problem right now is that I feel like I'm in a prison that I can't get out of. Things that people take for granted like having a shower have become very difficult for me and whatever I do doesn't seem good enough.My adult children are suffering because they are trying to help me but are frustrated because I'm not doing anything to help myself eg eat healthy food and exercise.I seem to have no desire to do anything at all.I seem to be very lazy and also incompetent and I don't know what to do about it. If I can't start looking after myself I'm afraid of what my future will be. I could very well end up on the streets and so could my children, especially my son. I'm living with my elderly parents in a rented house and I'm not doing a good job of looking after myself and spend most of my time doing nothing except lying on my bed, walking up and down the hallway, eating or watching a couple of quiz shows on TV.It's a very insecure, confusing and frightening place to be.My son came back from Europe to try to help me and is so disappointed and frustrated because no matter what he says and how hard he tries to motivate me, he can't see me trying to help myself at all. My daughter had a baby 7 months ago and I haven't been able to be the support she would have liked and I'm not the Nana I think I should be.I feel very separate, lonely and isolated. How can I move forward? There are so many reasons why I'm struggling right now but others eg my son just think I'm making excuses for why I'm not doing what I "should" be doing.I have no desire to do anything, which is a real worry for me.I'm currently under the mental health act here in NZ and am taking medication for anxiety and depression.I've done my best to explain what's going on with me but I don't believe you or anyone can fully understand what I'm going through.I don't know what I want from you or if there's anything you can say or do to help but I'm reaching out anyway.I wonder if I am a special case, the exception to the rule and maybe there's no hope for me.

Calvinism's Reformed Theology's Election & Predestination are Lies of the devil!--- Books: Amazon.com/Richard-A-Hardin/e/B09J2YHCVB------------------ Jesus says in Matthew 25:41, "...everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels!" God does not select people for heaven or hell prior to our birth here on Earth. It is a lie! My Website: rahardin.com -Bio, Books, Videos, Podcasts. Email: Richardahardin@yahoo.com Schedule: M-F, 7-8AM; Sat-Sun:6-8AM (CST) ****Richard Hardin, POBox 45684, OKC, OK 73145. ****You can also listen on Itunes. ****I will give any minister $10,000 to his/her ministry that will go through my programs with me and show from the Scriptures that I am wrong about calvinism being a lie of the devil. ****Many very important subjects are not being discussed correctly in the Christian community: many that are being discussed incorrectly based on false beliefs, and there are even some popular beliefs that are completely made up that have no mention whatsoever in the Bible. ****God is not backing up our confused, mixed-up Christian community. Most denominations teach opposing beliefs. God does not tell them these opposite beliefs, they are based on pride, ego, and greed. ****Calvinism's, election and/or predestination, prior to our birth to heaven or hell, IS totally incorrect, and is dividing the body of Christ by creating confusion (confusion is of the devil and so is calvinism). Some people who have done what they consider terrible sins are even afraid to seek God because they think they must have been predestined to go to hell, and they do not want to know for sure. If you have a desire in you right now to seek God, to be forgiven and to get your heart right with God, all you have to do is call out to God and ask His forgiveness. It is not God's will that any perish, but that all repent, turn from their sins, and turn to Him and He will forgive you! Guaranteed!! Jesus says in Matthew 25:41 that the lake of fire was created for only the devil and his rebellious angels, not one person has ever been born and predestined to hell, we each have to make a personal knowledgeable choice!. ($10,000 Challenge above!!!!) That is not what I just “believe” or “think”, I can show anybody, including, John MacArthur, or Arthur Pink, in black and white in the Scriptures that God has never, nor does not now, predestine or elect anyone to heaven or hell prior to birth into the physical realm on earth. I will not bet, but if I can't I will give $10,000 to their ministry or any other minister (or anyone) who can prove me wrong! Calvinism (predestination or election to heaven or hell prior to our birth) is a lie of the devil to take away from the importance of Jesus' perfect walk of faith and death on the cross for our sins, and Jesus' resurrection by the Spirit to provide for the forgiveness of our sins and our receiving the new cleansed heart with the Spirit of Christ coming to live in our hearts to engraft us into the family of God as His children, as joint heirs with Jesus. We must personally ask forgiveness and invite Christ into our hearts to cleanse our heart before Christ will create in us the new heart and come to live in it. on @KLRNRadio.com CST Tue 7AM #GPWF #Christian or anytime at rahardin.com

How often have you ever thought "I'm probably the only one that thinks, acts, lives this way." As much as I want to talk about it with someone, anyone, I should just keep it to myself, smile, nod my head and wait to breakdown behind closed doors. It feels like we're carrying a heavy burden, but we don't want to tell anyone about it. We're afraid that if we speak up, people will think we're ‘not of sound mind'. So we keep quiet and carry on as best as we can. But the truth is, this shame is crippling us. It's holding us back from living the life we want to live. And it's time to break free from it. So how do we do that?

Though our need to connect is innate, many of us frequently feel alone. Loneliness is the state of distress or discomfort that results when one perceives a gap between one's desires for social connection and actual experiences of it. Even some people who are surrounded by others throughout the day—or are in a long-lasting marriage—still experience a deep and pervasive loneliness. Research suggests that loneliness poses serious threats to well-being as well as long-term physical health. Whether a person lives in isolation or not, feeling a lack of social connectedness can be painful. Marriage can be the loneliest place in the world. Given the potential health consequences for those who feel like they have few or no supportive social connections, widespread loneliness poses a major societal challenge. But it underscores a demand for increased outreach and connection on a personal level, too. Loneliness is as tied to the quality of one's relationships as it is to the number of connections one has. And it doesn't only stem from heartache or isolation.  A lack of authenticity in relationships can result in feelings of loneliness. For some, not having a coveted animal companion, or the absence of a quiet presence in the home (even if one has plenty of social contacts in the wider world), can trigger loneliness. Tune in and learn how to win the battle of loneliness!

Jesus Said, We MUST Be Born Again- My Books: Amazon.com/Richard-A-Hardin/e/B09J2YHCVB -- If you call yourself a Christian and do not know what "Born Again" is/or means, you should listen in and check it out. Jesus didn't say He prefers you be Born Again, but Jesus said, 'you MUST be Born Again!!!' And if you do not know what "Born Again" means you "probably" have not been "Born Again' regardless how much church attendance and duties you have performed in church because Jesus also said in Matthew 7:21 - 23, "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (22) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? (23)And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Don't be just a good church member, make sure you have received the changed heart. Website: rahardin.com Videos,Bio,Podcasts----Email: richardahardin@yahoo.com Weekly: M-F, 7-8AM; Sat-Sun, 6-8AM (CST) ****You can also listen to my programs on Itunes. ****I will give any minister $10,000 for his/her ministry that will go through my programs with me and show from the Scriptures that I am wrong about calvinism/reformed theology being a lie of the devil. ****Ephesians 2:8 states, "For by grace are ye saved through faith..."; Romans 5:2,"...We have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand..." ****What if our spiritual leaders didn't know what Born Again, Grace & Faith really are? If they didn't our nation would be in a heap of spiritual trouble! ***AND our nation is in terrible Spiritual trouble! Because our Spiritual leaders do not know the simple definitions of Faith, Grace and Mercy and are teaching a lot of confusion, and they can't understand or explain the term, "Born Again!" When you look up Grace in the Theology Dictionaries, they use Mercy to help define Grace, and then look up Mercy and they use Grace to help define Mercy. You have to separate the words to get a correct definition. Patent lawyers have to describe items so specific that no other possible item can be joined to, overlap or confused with it. Faith, Grace and Mercy are so specifically defined that they do not overlap. The fact that they use grace and mercy to define the other shows they do not know the specific definition of either Grace or Mercy, they just say a lot of great sounding words about God's Love and feel they must have someway explained them. ****Failing to understand the specific definitions Faith, Grace, and Born Again is like most people who talk about electricity; they correctly talk a lot about the uses of electricity without knowing the definition of electricity and knowing what it is, where it comes from(wall plug?), or how to generate (get new) electricity. That is how our spiritual leaders are teaching Faith, Grace, Born Again and many other basic concepts. They are saying a lot of good words about Faith and Grace but don't know what they are and the definitions. For example: Grace is not God's unmerited favor--that is totally wrong, error or a lie of the devil to deny Jesus the respect and praise He deserves. They are just quoting cute little phrases they have heard others say without knowing the true meanings of the phrases or the true meanings of Faith, Grace, Born Again or even Charity! ****Listen in and you will find out the definitions of Faith, Grace, Mercy, Born Again, how you can clearly choose to receive Faith, Grace and clearly how to be Born Again. You can have total confidence that you have received Faith and Grace and that you are "Born Again" for salvation. ****So, today along with Faith, Mercy and Grace I will clearly explain what Jesus meant when He said, "Ye Must Be Born Again." He was saying that we must receive the new engrafted Spiritual heart, to be "Born Again", "saved," "be converted," "become a Christian," "become a child of God." They are all referring to the same Spiritual experience which is used to describe when a person receives the Spirit of Christ into their heart to create the new changed heart which results in us becoming a child of God. We each must be Born Again. Romans 8:9 says,"... If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His."

Loveable is written to the little one in each of us, who is all too ready to be reminded: you are enough, you are not alone, and you matter.In Loveable, Dr. Flanagan reveals the core insight gleaned from his years of clinical work: you are here for a reason, yet you cannot truly awaken to it until you have first embraced your truest, worthiest self and then allowed yourself to be truly embraced by others.True Companions shows that we each have within ourselves, exactly the way we are, what we need to cultivate the life-long relationships we are longing for. Whether you are focused on your marriage, your parenting, your friendships, or another important relationship, here you will learn how growing in self-knowledge leads the way to growing in your love for God and others. Discover how you can put your loneliness to work for you in your relationships, rather than against you.

Immerse yourself in the one perspective that assures you will prioritize your companions now the way you will one day wish you had."For more information on Dr. Kelly you can go to www.drkellyflanagan.com. 

BIBLES? Is YOUR Personal Bible 'God's PURE Word' ? If Not? What would or should you do? My Books: Amazon.com/Richard-A-Hardin/e/B09J2YHCVB, rahardin.com--Bio, Videos, Podcasts Email: richardahardin@yahoo.com Weekly: M-F,7-8AM;Sat-Sun,6-8AM (CST) ****Richard Hardin, POBox 45684, OKC, OK 73145. ****I will give any minister $10,000 for his/her ministry that will go through my programs with me and show from the Scriptures that I am wrong about calvinism (Reformed Theology) being a lie of the devil. ****BIBLE? Proverbs 30:5-6, (KJV), “Every Word of God is Pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. (6) Add thou not unto His Words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” We must base our Salvation and daily walk with God on God's Pure Word, if we expect God to back up His promises of salvation, protection, provisions, health and all of the other promises to us. If we do not have His correct Words of Salvation, we will be found a "liar" as above and without salvation. If we are “standing on false, incorrect promises,” we will be disappointed in God when our desires are not fulfilled and as the above Scripture states, “we will be found a liar” because God will not do what we are claiming or asking of Him. Basing our belief, trusts, or “faith” on error, false teachings, or anything other than God's Pure Word, Christ, has caused people to give up on God after tragedies happen because they felt let down by “God,” and it has caused many to turn completely from God and claim there is no God. ***The fact that we have hundreds of denominations or groups (each based on the “Bible”) teaching many opposite beliefs about God, and over 26 major copies of the Bible (because some scholars thought they could do better than the previous translators), and even differences in some of the original manuscripts---should kinda give you a clue that we should be more concerned about our Spiritual condition and seeking God's Pure Word even if most preachers do stand in the pulpit, raise their copy of a "Bible" and scream they believe every word of it. Preachers mainly go to Bible Schools to study the Bible to learn how to teach their denominational beliefs and stay away from “controversial” or different beliefs of others. We, you and I, are not receiving God's PURE Word from the ministers across our land. And you may say I am not teaching it either! But the seriousness to you is that when you stand before God, what will matter is have you taken the time to SEEK the truth, God's Pure Word for yourself? I am not perfect, but I want to encourage you to do better than our “spiritual leaders” across our country. You, your family, and friends need you. ****As I share this message, remember, "Truth does not cause confusion, ----Truth exposes confusion!" The confusion is here already just look at all the differences in all the denominational beliefs coming from “the Bible,” by all of our highly educated PHDs from different religious seminaries. Most people just haven't thought about it! People basically believe they are right and that most other people are ok if they just say the name of Jesus every now and then! In fact, most religions do say the name Jesus too. The devil creates confusion to keep people from responding correctly to God by faith: which comes from our accepting & obeying, God's PURE Word! I hope and pray that each of you will be stirred up enough to seek with all your heart God's PURE Word, Christ, for your salvation, and the salvation of each member of your family and friends. Any word, message, that is not PURE, or it is PURE Word that has been added to or taken from, is not Christ(The Living Word), and only Christ, the PURE Word, can change a heart and create a new heart in us for salvation. Discuss this message with your family and make sure each can share a testimony of receiving the changed heart, not just joining and going to a church.

Mercy,Grace,& Charity --(Works Of God!) Three of the most important words in the Bible! ----My Books: Amazon.com/Richard-A-Hardin/e/B09J2YHCVB rahardin.com- Books, Bio, Videos, Podcasts Email: richardahardin@yahoo.com Weekly: M-F,7-8AM; Sat-Sun,6-8AM (CST) ****Richard Hardin, POBox 45684, OKC, OK 73145. ***It may surprise you but Mercy, Grace, and Charity are not different kinds of Love! They are ways that God Who is Love comes to us and relates with us. For example: The Water that comes to your house from the main city water line is divided up when it gets to your house and goes many different paths; to the bath tub, commodes, to the kitchen sinks, to the refrigerator, to the hot water heater, etc. Now when you have a problem and want to identify it to the plumber you say the commode water won't flush, or the hot water heater is not heating, the bath water will not turn on, and identify to the plumber the area he will need to be concerned with. The water is the same in all these areas. Mercy, Grace and Charity are the same Love of God, but it is God (God is Love) working or moving in different ways to us or thru us but it is the same Spirit of God in all cases because we only have one God and one Spirit of God! ***MERCY is God's Love, God, Himself, coming to us, all mankind, reaching out to us and not requiring us to respond either for or against Him. A one-way love, to try to draw us to Him, guide us, or protect us even before or after we turn to Him like in Rom 2:4, "Or despisest thou the riches of His Goodness and forbearance and long suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?" God is loving and blessing lost sinners and even Christians who have drifted away to draw them back to Him. This is God's unmerited favor to all of us when we need it. ****GRACE is ONLY the work or move of God's Spirit IN our hearts to create IN us the new heart at salvation, and live IN our hearts as as we grow in Grace as His children. The best description of the work of Grace that I have found in the bible is spoken by the Prophet Ezekiel in Eze 36:26-27, "A new heart also will I give you, and a new Spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. (27) And I will put My Spirit within you..." Paul says in Gal: 4:6-7, "And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba Father(Daddy Father). Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ." Any work or move of God -IN a person's heart only- is what is referred to or called Grace! Any work of God OUTSIDE our hearts to bless us, protect us, etc, is Mercy or Charity. Only the work of God, the Spirit, IN our hearts as a result of us inviting Him into our hearts is a work of Grace! God in any form does not come into our hearts uninvited by us! We have to be in total agreement with God and invite Him in to perform the work of Grace! ****Charity is a work or Word of God to us (Mercy) combined with our willingly inviting His Word (Grace) into our hearts (thru faith our acceptance of His Word) and allowing God to work in and through our hearts (Grace) as we work together with God in a work of Charity to others. ***Our ministers throughout Christianity do not understand Mercy, Grace and Charity or they would not have let the new versions remove Charity. That just shows how weak our "Christianity" is that the ministers throughout do not know the foundational building blocks or words. How can they understand the deeper concepts and beliefs of Scripture when they do not know the basics? CHARITY is when God moves in a person's heart (Grace) to allow His Spirit to pass through the Christian's heart to someone else. The joint effort of God working in & through a person and working together with God to reach out to others is the work of Charity which the devil hates so much he has had it removed from the new modern Bibles. Also, Charity is the same actions of God working with or in people which is described differently by the Apostle Paul who says "faith that worketh by love" which would be the same as a Christian accepting God's call (Word) into their heart, and obeying God's call to teach, preach, witness etc., and God going with the Christian in their heart to confirm His Words thru the Christian to the other person(s) and supply the needs.

Abner & Many Christians 'R' Living & Dying As Fools! My Books: Amazon.com/Richard-A-Hardin/e/B09J2YHCVB Schedule: M-F, 7-8AM; Sat-Sun, 6-8AM (CST) Web: rahardin.com -Bio, Books, Videos, Podcasts Email: richardahardin@yahoo.com Amazon.com/books/Richard A Hardin, Richard Hardin, POBox 45684, OKC, 73145. ****King David in 11 Samuel 3:33-34, "And the king lamented over Abner(at Abners' funeral), and said 'Died Abner as a fool dieth? Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: as a man falleth before wicked men, so fellest thou. And all the people wept again over him'." A fool is defined in the Bible as anyone who says there is no God (of the Bible), and carnal Christians living in disobedience to God's Word are living like fools or as if there is no God. When we live in ignorance and disobedience to God and His Word, (God and His Word are the same), we are living as a fool who openly says there is no God. Also, Christians living in false doctrines are in the same condition regardless how sincere they are because God will not back up the false beliefs that they profess regardless how dedicated they are to the false beliefs. So, regardless whether you choose to live in disobedience, or ignorance of God's Word or Will, satan will be gaining and having the advantage in your life while you live as a "fool" and are rejecting or neglecting God's Pure Word, AND you will not have the victorious life of God's promises being fulfilled in your life and family. The devil will control when and how you die, unless in His Mercy God intervenes. As Christians seeking to serve God, we must not become lazy or complacent with God's Word, for His Word is established forever but we must be seeking to serve and obey God and His Word to have His promises come alive in our lives for protection, and the many other blessings God would want us to have if we would only obey Him. . ****The story today is about a man, Abner, who didn't follow God's Word hundreds of years after it was given, but he should have, AND so should we! on @KLRNRadio.com 7AM CST Fri #GPWF #Christian or anytime at rahardin.com (Pods)

We Need Signs & Visible Answers to Prayer From God - My Books: Amazon.com/Richard-A-Hardin/e/B09J2YHCVB ------rahardin.com; Bio, Videos, Email: richardahardin@yahoo.com Schedule: M-F, 7-8AM, Sat-Sun, 6-8AM (CST) ***RA Hardin, POBox45684, OKC, OK, 73145 **** One of the confused areas being taught in the Christian community is the difference in Signs and Visible Answers to prayer. Through the years when I have taught on different ways God reveals Himself to us, or as we most often say, “How God speaks to us,” one of the most common first responses seems to be from someone, “You better not seek signs, the devil can trick or mislead you!” Or, “Jesus said we shouldn't seek signs.” Most people do not know the difference in Signs and Visible Answers to prayer. So today I will explain in a way that you won't have to be worried about mixing them up any more. I have heard many people say they are afraid to even pray, when they should be praying and seeking God for clear understandable answers to prayer. Fear to pray is the devil trying to scare you away from praying and seeking God's answer for you and it allows the devil to be in control. ****When you understand the difference between signs and visible answers to prayer, you will have the confidence to seek God in all situations and know without a doubt that He wants you to seek Him anytime for any concern with all your heart. Philippians 4:6 states, “Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” Anxiety is always the result of evaluating some future possible circumstance without considering God in it with you! You are trying to figure it out yourself, not trusting that God will be involved with you when the time arrives. So, let anxiety be the “red flag”, trigger or reminder to immediately pray and consider God in your future or even your present concern. Start by talking to God, praying, about your situation every time you think of it and you will see that your trust in God will increase and the anxiety will decrease because you have cast your cares on Jesus, 1 Peter 5:7, "Casting all your care upon Him(God); for He careth for you. (8) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." Don't wait until your situation is so bad that you feel “all I can do now is pray”-pray when you recognize the first sign of anxiety ***There are many very important subjects not being taught in the Christian Community, many being taught incorrectly based on false beliefs, and some beliefs that are completely made up and have no mention whatsoever in the Bible. This is very serious, please share with your family and friends. God is not backing up our confused, mixed up Christian Community because the denominational beliefs are so conflicting and even opposite in many cases.

Every now and then, we enjoy going back to "old" vaporwave albums to live in ambiance of that time.Space Magic is a vaporwave artist from the golden era of vaporwave (in our opinion, 2011-2015). His album 98 'Waves is a collection of nostalgic spaces from various locales, both physical and digital, fashioning a nostalgia that can only be as focused and immersive as it is in the vaporwave space.This album brought some very specific vivid memories, and we enjoyed how it lulled us into them. We hope it does for you too.Let's set sail for SPACE MAGIC's 98 'Waves.New to The Virtual Ocean? Here's a bit more about our show:Vaporwave is an art aesthetic that embodies the anxiety, disillusionment, and nihilism of the modern world.In music form, vaporwave dives deep into these unconscious anxieties, manifesting sounds from past decades - warping them, manipulating them, and summoning the ghost of the good times that were promised by modern capitalism, but never came.Vaporwave is an expression of the pains of the collective modern unconscious, taking the form of heroin-level escapism, ecstasy-inducing pop music, or dystopian ambient worlds.Because of its internet-based nature, its aesthetics have evolved so rapidly, further reflecting the chaotic subconscious of the modern mind.Vaporwave captures the modern unconscious of humans raised by the internet succinctly and understanding this art form matters.In each episode, we listen to tracks that make up the genre and give our thoughts, analysis, emotions, and commentary on them. Consider donating to us! $thevirtualocean on CashApp will get you your name and any message you want read at the end of the show, starting episode 63. Let's set sail on the Virtual Ocean.

  This Sober Short series is taking you through our Tribe Sober Toolkit – this toolkit is just one of the things that we share with you during our regular Zoom workshops – just go to tribesober.com, hit Our Services and you'll find all the info about our workshops. You can do a group workshop or a private workshop to suit your schedule and time zone. These workshops have been a gamechanger for many people so if you want to kickstart your sober life then sign up today.  Just go to tribesober.com/services and click on workshops During the first 14 Sober Shorts, we looked at the first 14 Tools in our toolbox. Before we move on to the final tool here is a quick recap… In this Episode Tool number 1 was “Get Connected” Connection is the Opposite of Addiction” and if you're serious about getting sober then you need to connect with others on the same path. If you're not yet a member of our tribe please check us out on tribesober.com – just hit “join our tribe” to read about the benefits of membership. Tool number 2 was “Get Moving” We all know is that exercise is “good for us” and many people exercise daily but they also drink daily – sometimes excessively. Ditch the drink and keep exercising and you will be amazed at how much fitter you will get! Tool number 3 was “Building Emotional Strength” All about “learning to sit with our feelings” – instead of trying to chase them away with alcohol – alcohol is the “easy button” and enables us to bypass difficult emotions. We have to “get comfortable with being uncomfortable as Tribe Sober coach Lynette says, or as Glennon Doyle says, “First the Pain, then the Rising.” Tool number 4 was all about Mindset It was about changing your thinking – about drinking. We talked about overturning those false beliefs that we have picked up over the years — for example, we believe that we deserve a drink at the end of the day! We talked about overturning those beliefs – one by one. “Do the work” and you will never see alcohol in the same way and… You will never suffer from FOMO which is the key to sticking to your sobriety. Tool number 5 – was about Visualisation We talked about some powerful ways to use visualisation. One of them was to “Play the movie forward” – if you get the urge to drink, then just think it through – what will happen after that first glass. Do you really want to wake up at 3 am full of anxiety and regret? Do you really want to keep going back to Day 1 – and do the hardest bit - again and again? Tool number 6 – Information is Power It's hard to believe it these days but not that long ago we had NO IDEA that smoking was bad for us. Even if you do decide to carry on drinking then make sure that it's an informed choice. The information is out there and just a quick google search will connect you with scientific research proving that alcohol is linked to 7 different types of cancer and more than 60 diseases. That's a good place to start and there are many QuitLit books out there and of course podcasts – almost 100 episodes of the Tribe Sober podcast are available now, all packed with advice inspiration and information. If you'd like a QuitLit Reading list just email janet@ts.com – you can also go to tribesober.com and hit the Inspiration tab where you'll find a wealth of information that will inspire you to get started – and motivate you to keep going. Tool number 7 was “Be Accountable” When we embark on this journey, we need a community of people who actually care – people who have been where we are now and can advise and encourage us - people who are thriving in their alcohol-free lives and can inspire us that it really is worth doing this thing. WE NEED TO BE ACCOUNTABLE – we need to know that we can share our ups and downs with other people who really get us. So, if you are looking for a sober community to inspire you and keep you on track just go to tribesober.com and hit join our tribe. If you'd like to sample the kind of support we offer then email janet@tribesober.com and request our Sobriety Battleplan pdf which is packed with great advice, charts and trackers. Tool Number 8 - which is “Journaling” At our workshops, we advise people to buy a beautiful notebook that will become their sobriety journal throughout this life-changing journey. Sobriety is a journey of self-discovery and recording your thoughts, emotions, struggles, and accomplishments is so beneficial. Early sobriety is a very emotional time and for most of us it really helps to process emotions if we can write them down. We can note our triggers as well as strategies for coping with them Journaling will give us perspective – reading back on the early weeks of sobriety will remind us just how hard it was – and make us realise it's getting better and easier every day. To learn more about the magic of journaling listen to Tribe Sober podcast episode 98 to hear my interview with writer in recovery Melinda Ferguson – released on 26th March 2022 Tool No 9 – “Get a Project” It's very common for people to feel a bit flat once they have achieved their first few months of sobriety. Many people in Tribe Sober (including me) experienced that “flatness'/depression/void” or whatever you want to call it – when they asked me what they should do about it I just told them to sit it out as it would eventually pass However that advice changed after my podcast interview with Dr Loretta Breuning (author of the Happy Brain) – so do have a listen, its episode 55 and was released on 14 August 2021. Loretta explained that my brain was quite happy during the first few months as it had registered that it was working on a project (ie sobriety) and I was making progress – however after a few months my subconscious was thinking – ok so now we are sober, now what? Well here's the thing – as human beings we need projects – think of the cavemen, they would wake up hungry and have to go and find some food, eating the food would give them a dopamine hit but then they would get hungry again and have to go hunting.. So as you settle into your first few months of sobriety GET A PROJECT to keep you on track and to keep those happy brain chemicals triggered. Tool No 10 – “Be Prepared” As with most things in life preparation is crucial… Play the movie forward – what ARE you going to drink – if it's a restaurant then check out their drinks menu online and decide what you will order If you are going to a dinner party the text your host in advance and take some AF bubbly with you Decide what you are going to say when/if people start to interrogate you – you can keep it simple “I'm on meds”, “I'm driving” or my favourite “I'm on a health kick – no booze, no sugar, no carbs for 66 days!”  If drinking at home was your problem then give away your booze – or move it to somewhere you can't see it (the garage is a good place) and make sure your fridge is stocked with delicious AF choices – if you are in SA just go to drinknil.co.za and they will deliver to your door Tool No 11 –Track Your Progress When a new member joins our tribe we send an Annual Tracker. It helps to give perspective, to keep an eye on the big picture – sure there may be slip ups on the way but what matters is a feeling of progress – are those “Sober Stretches” getting longer? If you would like one of our Annual Trackers then just email janet@tribesober.com and I'll send you one right away! It's so important to celebrate Milestones on this journey - The Forever word is just too daunting when starting out on this journey so we suggest 30, 60, 100 days as Milestones… followed by 6 months and then moving on to Annual The great thing about Tribe Sober is that many people stick around after getting sober – they want to help and inspire others – we even have a chatroom for people with more than 6 months of sobriety Tool No 12 –Nurture Yourself When we embark on this life changing journey we are going against the flow. We are going against the flow and that takes confidence and courage! We need to nurture ourselves so that we can access the inner resources we need to embrace an alcohol free life Many people (me included) discover that they are introverts at heart and not the party animal they thought they were when they drank! Sobriety is a journey of discovery so spend the extra time you've saved exploring – Tribe Sober members have free resources to sample like coaching, hypnotherapy and root cause therapy as well as online yoga and art therapy. You need to spoil yourself! Think of your sobriety as a pregnancy – 9 months of doing exactly what feels right  for you – read books, be alone, go to bed early, have naps, light candles, eat chocolate, turn down social invitations, light candles, have hot baths! The pregnancy analogy works so well because for most of us 9 months is long enough for our sobriety to be strong – to survive in the outside world! Tool No 13 - Know Your Triggers! Triggers are a response to an outside stimulus that results in an automatic action. We have trained our brains to drink, and now we have to untrain them. Our brains need time to “rewire” – we need to uncouple experiences – eg: sunset and a glass of wine Let's remember that triggers won't last for ever – quitting is not about abstaining – or about resisting – its about building a new life when we won't even want to drink But while we are adjusting we will need to learn how to deal with our triggers Typical triggers are- H.A.L.T.S (Hungry. Angry. Lonely. Tired. Stressed) can affect our sobriety. Although we will experience triggers we don't have to act on them – we are not like a toddler having a tantrum in a supermarket because we can't have chocolate We need to pause and breathe when we get a trigger – be curious – write about them in your journal and develop strategies to deal with them Tool No 14 – Do the Work At Tribe Sober we've helped hundreds of people to quit drinking and our observation is that it takes 3-6 months of hard work – and then it gets easier and easier. That's where we differ from AA – we don't see it as a “lifetime struggle” which necessitates going to meetings for ever. “Doing the work” in AA of course means going through the 12 steps but at Tribe Sober we believe that “the work” is different for everyone. It depends on various factors – including how dependent we have become. “Doing the work” means listening to all the podcasts and reading all the QuitLit books – other people stories and struggles remind us that we are not alone in this and that it is possible to make a change. “Doing the work” means trying out the tools I've outlined in these Sober Shorts until you have created your very own sober toolkit. Even better sign up for one of our workshops to learn more about changing your mindset about drinking and meeting others on the same path. When we stop drinking we have time on our hands – we have to reconfigure our life so that it's a life we don't want to escape from. It's an ideal time to try different activities and to connect with other people on the same path.  That's why we offer our members opportunities to try coaching, hypnotherapy, art therapy, yoga, meditation as well as providing nutritional and medical advice.  Tool No 15 – Find Your Purpose! When we are dependent on alcohol we get stuck. Our life doesn't evolve. If you've seen that movie Groundhog Day you will remember that the guy woke up and repeated the same day over and over.  When I was “working hard and playing hard” I was in that place. Sure I was making plenty of money for the shareholders of a massive corporate but after a long day of doing that I would come home and numb my brain with a bottle of alcohol. Then I would wake up the next day and do it all again. When I finally got sober I recovered my health, my energy, my creativity and most importantly I recovered time – time to think. Time to think more clearly about what I really wanted out of my life. Time to make the changes I needed and to create a life I no longer wanted to escape from. We see this all the time in our community – people get sober and then start looking at other parts of their life. Are they eating healthily? Are they exercising enough? Are they in the right job? Are they happy in their relationships? We call this The Domino Effect and we have a podcast on this subject – Tribe Sober podcast episode episode 52 from July 2021, So that's it for the Tribe Sober Toolkit – if you'd like more info on the Toolkit as well as the mindset changes you need to make then please check out our Zoom Workshops  Let me leave you with one of my favourite quotes by Victor Frankl “Life is not primarily a quest for pleasure as Freud believed, nor is it a quest for power as Adler taught, but a quest for meaning. The greatest task for any person is to find meaning in their life.” More Info Subscription membership – you can join up HERE. To access our website, click HERE.

The speaking industry evolves as the world evolves. Speakers every day face a risk of relevance – a need to change with the times and make their message resonate with people. Dr. Nick Morgan, communications and public speaking expert at Public Words, has a great quote from someone he spoke with on his show, a piece of wisdom that teaches us how exactly speakers, or anyone for that matter, can adapt to and deal with a new situation where everything has to be started from scratch. He shares this and other fascinating insights on navigating change in the speaking world with Adam Markel. Dr. Nick also explains why speakers are “lonely extroverts” and how building a community of speakers helps mitigate the loneliness that speakers feel after their time on stage is over. Join in and learn how dealing with uncertainty, building resilience, and change-proofing works in the speaking business.
