News Blues Debate ClausesThe Ochelli Effect 10-20-2023 Open MicWe require more callers each show and we want to know what form The Friday The 13th Podcast should take.Is Friday just an opinion forum? Should it be shaped into something else?Chuck asks Listeners what should be done with the four hours of broadcast from Friday The 13th.Last Fridays 4 hours of strategic discussion that had seemingly no one doing anything but protecting a position on Terrorism and who has the right to call a land home while many people who are not committing crimes against humanity are and will continue to be slaughtered.(OCHELLI Thoughts START HERE)If you read this and already know who the terrorists in Bilad al-Sham are, perhaps ask yourself if you have truly done research on the issues and ask yourself if these conclussions are based on what you refuse to believe or if evidence of any kind would change that rather intense commitment you could be carrying on behalf of someone that engineered that opinion for your cultural adoption because Geo-Political players in Global game are so often telling the truth that trust is easily given by those haven't lied, covered-up, Murdered people with or without the excuse oif war. Right???Did you note no side was taken during this text? No doubt an assumption was made as to what the author thought and other judgements folllow, but do you have a solution for the podcast question? B Pete proposed a debate on any part of his position with anyone who wishes to challenge his Pro-Israel and Israels actions opinions.Chuck was asked to critique with commentary everyone who spoke but not in a personal way.After lengthy consideration Ochelli being the only guy currently doing production for the network feels as though there is only counter-productive results to be reached regarding dispostion of the 4 hours of audio.It's not entertaining or informative if collected feedback on the pod from a private unintentionally assembled group of regular Ochelli listeners (No One on the email Chain will be revealed by Ochelli.com unless they first make themselves known)Accordingly a sub-group of 6 listeners independently made clear to Chuck that B Pete debates will not be easily managed by Chuck who has not displayed the ability to moderate debates without strict control of each particpents mic. and appears to remain a weak conductor that just irritates participents with attempts to be fair. Resulting in those counter-productive results previously mentioned. Controlling your co-hosts mic is not desirable for the sake of integrity in Chuck's opinion.(END Ochelli Thoughts)(START The Cousel of 6)All six listeners unanimously agree that despite their similarity to or divergence from (and there is variety there), B Pete's Thesis, Dissertation and Conclusion in any given discussion of alleged debateare escorted into the verbal arena by solid techniques that are a boxers equivilant of striking and tying up the oponent while leaning on the fighter during the clinch thus wearing down the oponent. Precisely as Hollyfeild was doing so well until Tyson Bit a chunk out of his ear. in 1997 Using more time than any listeners attention span seems to currently tollerate exhausting and preventing the adversary from throwing anything meaningful in response If this is intentional or simply a reflex on his part is unknown. A majority of these 6 listeners state the call-in shows for the past few years are heard in this way siding with and against him without consulting eachother.. The listeners that analyzed the 4 hours have been invited to debate B Pete but as bad as Chuck is at moderating this might be messy.Also consulted were a few "Hate Listeners" only 2 responded at all. Only one response contained ideas aside from insults. His or Her response was that Chuck is a Libtard but they would be happy to talk to B Pete.(END Counsel of 6)Other Ideas collected from messages are:- Replace Chuck and Give B Pete another Co-Host- Chuck does a multi-part series playing the audio and pointing out how completely common everything was stated that night- Bring in a third party to do the same as above- Only Allow Jimmy James to call-in every other week- Make Callers and Hosts stick to 1 topic each Friday- Take Callers with Guests Only- Get an 800 Number- Use Discord for Callers- Broadcast From a Twitter SpaceWhat do you think should become of the Friday The 13th Show?Let us know blindjfkresearcher@gmail.comorinfo@ochelli.comJoin Us next time 8-10 pm Eastern on any given Friday Night. 1(319)527-5016B PETE:http://www.bpete1969.com/https://www.facebook.com/bpete1969KEEP OCHELLI GOING.

  What is self-care exactly? It's not just a trip to the spa! Learn how to slow down and really connect with yourself is a healthy way and tap into your inner healing. We share a list of 10 Ways To Implement Self-Care Daily on this episode. We also discuss the myths we all tell ourselves to avoid self-care. Drop the guilt and learn what other myths keep you from providing yourself the self-care you need.   What is Self-Care?self-care /ˌselfˈker/ noun: self-care; noun: selfcare 1. the practice of taking action to preserve or improve one's own health 2. the practice of taking an active role in protecting one's own well-being and happiness, in particular during periods of stress   Self-care is any activity that we do deliberately in order to take care of our mental, emotional, and physical health. Although it's a simple concept in theory, it's something we very often overlook. Good self-care is key to improved mood and reduced anxiety. It's also key to a good relationship with oneself and others.  What Self-Care Is Not Knowing what self-care is not might be even more important. It is not something that we force ourselves to do, or something we don't enjoy doing. Self-care is “something that refuels us, rather than takes from us.”   Why Self-Care Matters Stress is a toxin to your body. Science has now proven “chronic stress may also cause disease, either because of changes in your body or the overeating, smoking and other bad habits people use to cope with stress. Job strain — high demands coupled with low decision-making latitude — is associated with increased risk of coronary disease, for example”. Chronic stress adds to the Cortisol overload in your body as well. If your Cortisol levels are off the charts it's difficult release excess weight. Plus, elevated Cortisol levels have negative effects on your other hormones swimming around inside making it hard to get proper rest or even relax. Remember that self-care is not optional, it's essential.   Bust Your Myths Around Self-Care You feel guilty taking time for you. – This one is huge for people, especially women. You cannot serve from an empty well. If you don't fill the well there is nothing to give, which of course leads to more stress and guilt. You don't have time. – This is an overused line, isn't it? I tell people ‘there's no such thing as Time, it is a figment of your imagination.' While not necessarily true in the literal sense, it does hold truth. We are the Master of our time not the other way around. You don't know how. – Ok, now this one should be a huge red flag if you tell yourself this. Why? Because it is a strong indicator that you aren't in touch with You. You've lost sight of your deepest wants, needs and desires. It's time to get reacquainted with You. Start digging deep to uncover You again. Fear of doing something you truly love. Allowing other people's thoughts and feelings and criticisms to affect us, and to affect the decisions that we make in life.   10 Ways To Implement Self-Care Daily Create a “no” list, with things you know you don't like, or you no longer want to do. Examples might include: Not checking emails at night, not attending gatherings you don't like, not answering your phone during lunch/dinner. Promote a nutritious, healthy diet. Get enough sleep. Adults usually need 7-8 hours of sleep each night. In contrast to what many people think, exercise is as good for our emotional health as it is for our physical health. It increases serotonin levels, leading to improved mood and energy. In line with the self-care conditions, what's important is that you choose a form of exercise that you like Follow-up with medical care. It is not unusual to put off checkups or visits to the doctor. Use relaxation exercises and/or practice meditation. You can do these exercises at any time of the day. Spend enough time with your loved ones. Do at least one relaxing activity every day, whether it's taking a walk or spending 30 minutes unwinding. Do at least one pleasurable activity every day; from going to the cinema, to cooking or meeting with friends. Look for opportunities to laugh!   Other Ideas to Spark Inspiration…. Take time to identify the activities and actions that make you feel good. Find somewhere quiet and meditate as needed. Reread one of your favorite books. Avoid triggers. Watch shows that are funny or comforting. Take time to yourself, away from others. Get a full night's sleep regularly. Check in with yourself. Put on fresh, comfortable clothing. Light a candle and fill your home with your favorite scent. Take a hot bath. Visit your favorite spot in the city you live in. Don't feel guilty turning down invitations or canceling plans. Take a day off of work if you need to. Write down a list of things you are thankful for. Remind yourself that this too shall pass. Read inspiring quotes. Spend time outside. Listen to your favorite band or song on repeat. Ask for help if you need it. Do not force yourself to do anything you don't want to do. Eat a balanced diet, but treat yourself to your favorite guilty pleasure. Write down what you're thinking and feeling. Breathe in and out. Unplug from social media. Listen to a calming playlist. Pet an animal. Do yoga. Turn off your phone for a day. Splurge a little. Schedule an appointment with a therapist. Watch your favorite movie or TV show from childhood. Take a nap. Do something that inspires and motivates you. Make future plans for a trip or event you're excited about. Spend time with a close friend or family member.

Either way you no longer had protection under the group, maybe we should introduce this punishment for heinous crimes and are allegedly elected PM.   Jason   From: Kip Subject: Podcasts   Guys listen to your show weekly. Some great information that isn't in the bought and paid for MSM. I send your shows to friends to get them information (and hooked). Both my wife and I are working in the Frontline on the Covid. She is a critical care nurse did two rotations in the ICU in Ottawa with Covid patient, I am a firefighter in Ottawa( and yes it's true if you want to find a firefighter just wait they will tell you). Thought I would get that in before you did. I am a shooter and hunter (outdoors guys) and I do see the disconnect between the shooter and hunters with the Libs it's a perfect plan first isolate them then destroy them . I have been involved in many conversations with hunters saying it ok ban those they aren't for hunting but not realizing that owning a deer rifle or shotgun doesn't make you proficient or safe . Also once the shooters are gone the hunters will fold because most of them don't belong to NFA, CCFR etc so who then will fight ??? Thanks again for the shows.   Kip   From Jeff Subject: Becoming a Barbarian Love the show guys, I love to hear Other Perspectives, Other Ideas ect... In The words of Rodney King, “Can't we all get along” No, I don't want to get along with some people. That's just a fact of life. In America as I'm sure in Canada the media runs the ship, supply's the ship and will even Sink the ship of it needs  too. Great Quotes in this book. I'll have to buy it.  This is one of the top 3 podcasts I listen too. Keep up the Mental masterbashion! One suggestion , Get Pierre a new mike, hard to understand him sometimes. Jeff, in New Mexico   From Jeff Subject: Jeff Again I just started listening to this podcast per Ian on CPP.  A handful of hard men was my starting point. Bad ass dudes! Later!   From: Brandon Subject Rod Giltaca Hello there, this show is in the top two for my favorite podcasts, one question; what's the gag with gilatca?   From: Jason Subject: Help Support Man's Best Friend Good Day    I was wondering when the shirts will be showing up so I can show I'm not a communist.  Anyway I do.

We share a list of 10 Ways To Implement Self-Care Daily on this episode. We also discuss the myths we all tell ourselves to avoid self-care. Drop the guilt and learn what other myths keep you from providing yourself the self-care you need. What is Self-Care? self-care /ˌselfˈker/ noun: self-care; noun: selfcare 1. the practice of taking action to preserve or improve one's own health 2. the practice of taking an active role in protecting one's own well-being and happiness, in particular during periods of stress Self-care is any activity that we do deliberately in order to take care of our mental, emotional, and physical health. Although it’s a simple concept in theory, it’s something we very often overlook. Good self-care is key to improved mood and reduced anxiety. It’s also key to a good relationship with oneself and others. What Self-Care Is Not Knowing what self-care is not might be even more important. It is not something that we force ourselves to do, or something we don’t enjoy doing. Self-care is “something that refuels us, rather than takes from us.” Why Self-Care Matters Stress is a toxin to your body. Science has now proven “chronic stress may also cause disease, either because of changes in your body or the overeating, smoking and other bad habits people use to cope with stress. Job strain — high demands coupled with low decision-making latitude — is associated with increased risk of coronary disease, for example”. Chronic stress adds to the Cortisol overload in your body as well. If your Cortisol levels are off the charts it’s difficult release excess weight. Plus, elevated Cortisol levels have negative effects on your other hormones swimming around inside making it hard to get proper rest or even relax. Remember that self-care is not optional, it's essential. Bust Your Myths Around Self-Care You feel guilty taking time for you. – This one is huge for people, especially women.

I tell people ‘there’s no such thing as Time, it is a figment of your imagination.’ While not necessarily true in the literal sense, it does hold truth. We are the Master of our time not the other way around. You don’t know how. – Ok, now this one should be a huge red flag if you tell yourself this. Why? Because it is a strong indicator that you aren’t in touch with You. You’ve lost sight of your deepest wants, needs and desires. It’s time to get reacquainted with You. Start digging deep to uncover You again. Fear of doing something you truly love. Allowing other people’s thoughts and feelings and criticisms to affect us, and to affect the decisions that we make in life. 10 Ways To Implement Self-Care Daily Create a “no” list, with things you know you don’t like, or you no longer want to do.

All types of self-care are important and this week we’re talking about how and why we should take care of our physical bodies.When we don’t take care of our physical bodies, they break down in a lot of different ways. We become tired and rundown. We can develop medical problems and we’re just not able to live our best life.The thing about self care is that only you can do it for yourself. No one else can provide self-care for you. So let’s talk about some ways to take care of ourselves.One thing we can do is have a regular sleep routine. Setting a time to sleep and time to wake up is a good start. If you struggle to sleep, shutting off all electronics 30 minutes before bed can help.Another tip to help with physical self-care is to reflect on your day. How did you show up in the world. Is it how you wanted to show up. Doing this consistently will help you make different choices as you become the person you want to be which will help with all types of self-care.Eating a healthy diet is a great physical self-care activity too. Find a routine that works to make healthier choices and that can be different for each of us. Start now. Start whenever it works for you. You don’t have to start “at the beginning”.Other things you can do is start small. Make simple recipes. Make sure that you are eating throughout the day. Don’t skip meals. Find an accountability partner. Give yourself permission to take the time for the things that are important to take care of yourself. You CAN take the time.Other Ideas for self care include: Getting a haircut or new hair style, showering or bathing, getting a massage, be aware of what’s going on around you and have a plan.

We’ve had a lot of people ask for a class on Public Speaking. It tends to freak a lot of people out which is why Idea #1 features Jerry Seinfeld’s quip that most people are so afraid of public speaking that they’d prefer to *receive* a eulogy than give one. (Hah.) Alas, if you have any fears over speaking in public, you’re not alone. Enter: Common humanity. And, enter my own stories about my fears and my favorite ways to alchemize that energy. (“I’m excited!” + “Bring it on!” + threat vs. challenge, etc.) Other Ideas include Rule #0 (aka, it’s not about you), Rule #1 (aka BE you—amplified!), systematically organize (and overprepare!), plus Optimizing your pre-shot routine before letting it rip!
