Contact Welcomed HereWhen we are accountable things add up so we feel like we count. Absolute Reality has no reservations or exceptions. We can think IT does and feel isolated and alone while nursing baseless thoughts.  We do not need to understand any story we make-up to recognize the disturbing effects caused by sick thinking. The idea that facing Reality is complicated is not true. Trying to avoid it for any length of time is infinitely more complicated than facing it honestly. We Know We Know and are also readily and obviously aware even while and when we think and this say we aren't. We are free to choose to think whatever and however we think so when we create a sense of condemnation and doom it is the sum of how and what we are thinking about things that is felt. Practicing this is talking about how and what you think openly and honestly as thought.  Taking seriously the idea that thoughts are reality turns the idea of expressing what we are thinking openly into a seeming external threat - that does not feel funny no matter how silly the premise. Honesty does not require we be right. Honesty includes talking openly about whatever we are thinking about right or wrong.  To chronically think thoughts are right and never apply them is like sitting in the couch all day wondering how to be productive.  Thinking we ever keep these ideas to our seeming self becomes another secret we think we can keep even while we secrete blood, sweat and anxious, pitiful tears. Self-pity reflects the pitiful useless self we think is all we are. Usefulness is determined by how well we read our body language. Our functional literacy determines the degree to which we utilize our full functional capacity.  If our limited thoughts are imagine to be Reality the potential to rehabilitated and redeem any useless thinking will, by choice, be limited as evidence our wrong thoughts are right. We can create a mess and then blame the mess for the scarcity of our situation.  This only makes sense in induced insanity. To impose doubt where there is none is something we are free to do - but it doesn't make any sense beyond the limited ideas we make believe are our own seeming reality and truth.  The basis of Existence is Absolute and thus so is Nature. The nature of Nature is our nature; no exceptions, no other options, no doubts since there is no question. All the questionable doubts we encounters are not mysteries of the universe but a mystery as to why we don't bother to simply mention them.  We Know We Know. We Are Aware We Are Aware. We Are as We Are. Reality is unlimited and never changes. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order reflecting a reversal of our natural fortune that are accurately called disorders. Anxious, nervous and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse Nature's Law and Order and our Universe's Essence. Dis-ease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Stress and Anxiety inhibit healing and compound and degrade health. Mentality is a bodily function. Mental disease is a physcial ailment. For as long as it is misdiagnosed - any cure or treatment will perpetuate its contagion. Principles affirm Our Indivisible nature. Sharing Principles confirms our natural indivisibility. Inspiration is natural while desperation, depression, degradation and acting oblivious to what is obvious is an unnatural choice to oppose reality which is impossible to accomplish though we are free to try. Ignoring what is happening, acting as though it shouldn't be or isn't happening, produces the unintelligible gibberish of ignorance - not reality.

Today on the High Performance Mindset, I'm talking with someone who is truly changing the way we think about work and wellbeing. Jen Fisher is a global leader in this space — and honestly, she's just one of those people who makes you feel seen and grounded the moment she starts talking. Jen was Deloitte's first-ever Chief Well-Being Officer, which basically means she helped a massive organization rethink what it really means to support people. Her passion comes from her own journey through burnout and cancer, and she's used those experiences to build a career focused on helping leaders create work cultures where people can actually flourish, not just survive. She's the bestselling author of Work Better Together, the host of The WorkWell Podcast, a TEDx speaker, and the founder of The Wellbeing Team. But what I love most is her belief that hope isn't just a feeling… it's a strategy. And she helps leaders put that strategy into action. In this conversation, Jen and I dive into burnout, the future of work, wellbeing intelligence, and what it really takes to create organizations where people feel energized and valued. You're going to walk away feeling inspired — and maybe rethinking a thing or two about how you work and lead. HIGH PERFORMANCE MINDSET SHOWNOTES FOR THIS EPISODE

News for the Heart talks with Tracy McBurney.Unlock your body's energy blueprint. In this profound episode, Tracy and Laurie decode the deep connection between digital technology, emotional trauma, and achieving optimal physical health.  A seemingly simple communication issue—a Wi-Fi handshake problem—was effectively diagnosed using Gemini AI. This digital resolution revealed a critical, surprising insight: Laurie's current physical weakness and energy depletion mirrors a systemic "handshake" failure within her own complex biological system. Consequently, the discussion shifts to exploring the surprising parallels between intricate digital structures and holistic health frameworks. Listeners will discover the foundational NES Health concept of Human Body Energy Drivers. These 16 vital energetic components are inherently vulnerable to factors like environmental toxins, significant trauma, and even subtle life events. The hosts examine why three of Laurie's core drivers (Source, Cell, Muscle) simultaneously deactivated. Furthermore, they discuss the necessity of unmasking truths and actively clearing any pervasive non-beneficial energetic forces through focused spiritual intention.  The conversation deepens as they conceptualize the nervous system as the body's internal Wi-Fi system. Tracy provides expert context on the current accelerated ascension cycle and the resultant rise of subtle energy awareness in clients. Laurie transparently shares her personal journey through a profound crisis of faith encountered during an unexpected housing crisis. Tracy then recommends specialized thymus gland affirmations as a concrete practice to help rebuild trust and internal stability.  Ultimately, the path to deep healing requires forgiveness.The hosts guide listeners through the process of releasing persistent guilt and emotional attachments (even those symbolically represented by a sentimental family table!). You will learn how the act of full-body forgiveness restores energetic balance. Tune in to understand your unique energy blueprint, reclaim your inner vitality, and find enduring freedom through a renewed divine connection.

Journalist and author, Brigid Delaney looked into the ancient philosophy during an assignment from her editor. What she discovered led her to years of study and a brand-new outlook on life that focuses less on happiness and more on meaning and contentment.Brigid is devoted to the Stoics, a philosophy that encourages its followers to focus on what they can control, accepting what happens outside of that sphere of control, and mastering inner peace to have a good life.These ideas have helped Brigid prepare for grief and take the edge off her anxiety by putting it in context.One of the most powerful Stoic ideas is that all the wonderful things and people in our life are “on loan” and can be taken away at any moment.Instead of taking them for granted, the Stoics wanted us to run toward them at full speed, and wring as much fun and juice out of them as we can.Further informationBrigid's new book The Seeker And The Sage, and Reasons Not To Worry: How to be Stoic in chaotic times are both published by Allen & Unwin.The Executive Producer of Conversations is Nicola Harrison.This episode contains references to a buddhist with attitude, Nassim Taleb, stoic week, Nero, improving my life, how to improve my life, how to be content, how to find meaning in life, The Guardian, Brigid Delaney's Diary, newspaper column, newspaper columnist, writer, writing life, author, novel, fable, Circles of Hierocles, meditation, Celeste Barber, Wellmania, netflix and internal happiness.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode, Dr. Jessica Singh is joined by Dr. J. Paul Luftman, a family and sports medicine physician with over 25 years of experience in academic medicine, clinical practice, and healthcare leadership. After surviving a near-fatal widowmaker heart attack, Dr. Luftman entered a new chapter of healing, characterized by quiet reflection, emotional honesty, and a new understanding of health and wellbeing. Drawing from his new book The Widowmaker's Gift: Balancing Science and Well-Being in Healthcare, Dr. Luftman shares how he uncovered the deeper layers of stress and emotional strain that had gone unrecognized for years. His story highlights a powerful truth many healthcare workers and coaches relate to: how caring for people is especially difficult when we are disconnected from ourselves. Together, Dr. Singh and Dr. Luftman discuss the importance of self-awareness in healing and the need to redefine what it means to succeed in medicine and helping professions. They also examine the importance of healing partnerships and emphasize that responsibility and agency are essential for sustainability. The conversation also gently touches on spirituality and meaning-making. Dr. Luftman explains how stillness and reflection create space for clarity and connection. His approach is grounded, open, and accessible, offering an invitation rather than a command. This episode encourages coaches and clinicians to slow down, notice their inner experience and honor their own humanity.

Advent E2 — In the second week of Advent, we're reflecting on peace. The word most often translated as “peace” in the Hebrew Bible is shalom, but its meaning goes far beyond the absence of conflict. Shalom is about wholeness, completeness, and everything being as it should be. It describes uncut stones at an altar, honest weights in the marketplace, integrity of the heart, flourishing relationships, and life lived in harmony with God's purposes. In this episode, Jon and Tim trace the deep biblical meaning of peace and show how Advent points to the arrival of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, who reconciles divided people and makes them one.FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter notes including summaries, referenced Scriptures, biblical words, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.CHAPTERSShalom in Stones, Weights, and Hearts—and Also Fulfillment (00:00–15:15)Shalom as Well-Being and the Prince of Shalom  (15:15–29:21)Jesus, Our Peace (29:21–35:38)Reflections on Peace With Allison (35:38-39:42)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESShalom / Peace: Though not referenced directly in the episode, this 2017 video explores the same biblical word, shalom.Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Silver N Gold” by  Lofi Sunday & Yoni Charis“Snow Fall” by Lofi Sunday & TBabz “Snowflakes” by AvesBibleProject theme song by TENTS SHOW CREDITSProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.

Unser heutiger Gast hat Wirtschaftswissenschaften an der Universität Hohenheim studiert und anschließend seinen Master of Science in Business Management an der Universität Würzburg gemacht, inklusive Stationen im internationalen Business an der Universidad de Deusto in Spanien. Nach dem Studium sammelte er erste Erfahrung in der Strategieberatung und im Business Development, unter anderem bei Simon-Kucher, bei BCG Digital Ventures und später bei Westwing, wo er strategische Projekte in einem dynamisch wachsenden Umfeld verantwortete. Doch dann kam der Punkt, an dem er beschloss, seine Energie in ein ganz anderes Thema zu stecken: mentale Gesundheit. Auslöser war eine persönliche Erfahrung in seinem engen Umfeld und die Erkenntnis, dass der Zugang zu psychologischer Unterstützung in unserer Gesellschaft, vor allem aber im Arbeitsumfeld, noch immer viel zu schwer und stigmatisiert ist. 2019 gründete er zusammen mit seinem Team nilo.health, eine digitale Plattform für mentale Gesundheit am Arbeitsplatz. Seitdem hat sich viel getan: nilo unterstützt heute über 500 Unternehmen europaweit dabei, mentale Gesundheit in der Unternehmenskultur zu verankern – und ist nach dem Zusammenschluss mit Likeminded nun europäischer Marktführer. Seit mehr als acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. Wir haben in über 500 Gesprächen mit mehr als 600 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie verändert hat und was sich weiter verändern muss. Wie schaffen wir es, die mentale Gesundheit endlich aus der Tabuzone zu holen und in Unternehmen als echten Erfolgsfaktor zu begreifen? Was braucht es, damit Führungskräfte nicht nur über Wellbeing sprechen, sondern selbst Vorbilder für gesunde Selbstführung werden? Und wie können Plattformen wie nilo dazu beitragen, dass psychologische Unterstützung niedrigschwelliger, skalierbarer – und vor allem menschlicher wird? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Deshalb suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen.

"Working as an oncology infusion nurse, being oncology certified, attending chapter meetings, going to ONS Congress® has really taught me plenty. But being an oncology patient taught me way more. I know firsthand the fears 'you have cancer' brings.

I thought I knew the side effects. There's so much I didn't know. There's so much behind the scenes before a patient comes and sits in my chair. The stuff that they go through I now can understand. It surprised me how much I didn't know." TS 11:39 Hopkins: "I had been thinking I'm going to be that hero, that I can go to work. I work at night, get 8 am radiation appointments, and go home and go to sleep and wake up and go to work again because everyone said, 'Oh, it's not that bad. Radiation will be okay. You can work.' … But the real challenge for me was I didn't know how to be a patient and a nurse at the same time. And my first radiation treatment, I go in there, and I change into the gown, and then I started cleaning up because I was getting treatment done at the hospital where I worked, and were taught if you see a mess, you clean it. So I was acting like a nurse. And I almost wanted to go help the other patients, but I couldn't because I had to focus on healing." TS 15:36 Dickerson: "What made the difference for me were the nurses who didn't just treat my illness. They treated me as a whole person—my emotions, my feelings. They made me smile. They would hold my hand or just take a moment to really ask, 'Hey, how are you?' And those small, little gestures made me feel worthy, made me feel like a human. I always tell nurses it's not just about the chemo; it's about the connection. Sometimes your presence is the most healing thing that you can offer to your patient." TS 30:52
