S4 Ep13: Why What You Do Next Matters More than Your Initial Reaction
What you do next is always a choice.
Your visceral initial reaction to things that happen is automated. Some things that happen will make you squee with excitement and joy. Other things that happen will make you scream, curse, and throw a temper tantrum. Then there are the reactions that fall between these extremes but are no less automated.
Immediately or near-immediately after your visceral reaction, you have a choice. Respond with continued anger or continued joy?
S4 Ep12: Empathy Empowers - Given or Received
Empathy is understanding, and I think we need a lot more of that in this world.
Feeling empathy towards other people is how we build bridges and create the best world we can. Empathy is where we can see that this is a world of abundance with room for more prosperity and good for everyone.
When you see the terrible things happening in the world at large, consider your response. Can you empathize with people who are suffering? I think that if we find and feel more empathy, we can do a whole lot more to make this world a better place for everyone.
But first, we must empathize with ourselves.
S4 Ep11: Self-Awareness and Mindset Matters
Mindset gives choices direction and intent.
When it comes to choices you do or don’t make, your mindset will set up your outcome, at least to a degree. It’s imperfect, but that’s the nature of the Universe.
When you go into a situation expecting a negative outcome, you’re very likely to get it. Likewise, a positive mindset it more likely to lead to a positive outcome.
S4 Ep10: Let’s Talk About Overwhelm
Does everyone experience overwhelm from time to time?
Absolutely, yes. But not everyone chooses to actively reduce and separate themselves from overwhelm.
Human beings were not designed to have overwhelm be our default. But here we are.
Everywhere you turn, someone is trying to sell you something. Then, we’re being pulled every which way by friends, family, so-called leaders, influencers, and total strangers with a virtual bully pulpit of one form or another.
We don’t recognize the danger .
S4 Ep9: Is There Such a Thing as Too Much Gratitude?
Gratitude empowers – given and received.
Gratitude is something we easily take for granted. That’s not anyone’s fault, per se. But when you live in a mass-consumption, consumer-driven, fear-based society, gratitude is easy to shunt away and take for granted.
By having gratitude for what you already have, you can get what you desire. However, having and expressing gratitude for all you already have alters your desire in positive ways.
