Meet Your Host
I am MJ Blehart - a dreamer, philosopher, geek, writer, editor, amateur photographer, and medieval fencer/herald/
re-enactor. I’ve been writing fiction since I was 9 and have been blogging regularly for more than 10 years.
I believe that Consciousness Creates Reality. Thus, I’m certain that we have the power to make our lives into whatever we believe we can. And that begins with self-awareness.
I have the pleasure of serving as your guide through easy-to-use mindfulness tools, conscious reality creation, and other devices for unselfish self-awareness.
Currently, I live in New Jersey (near Philadelphia) with my wife and two feline overlords (cats).
S5 Ep12: Gentlemen - Specifically Straight, Cis-Gendered Males - We Need to Talk
Cis-Gendered, white, straight males of the world - speak up and speak out.
We can’t just sit on the sidelines and ignore what’s going on. Especially in light of this upcoming election. Transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, and other prejudices and biases need to be pointed out and stood against.
Take a stand for what’s right.
S5 Ep11: Who Are You Competing With?
You’re only competing with yourself.
There are plenty of contests out there where it’s all about competing. Yet, aside from such intentional competitions, you’re not in competition with anyone else for anything.
Let me repeat that for those in the cheap seats. YOU ARE NOT IN COMPETITION WITH ANYONE ELSE FOR ANYTHING. Unless you participate in a contest – a race, a fencing bout, any professional sport, a spelling bee, and the like – you’re not competing.
S5 Ep10: Why is Leaving Comfort Zones so Challenging?
Comfort zone is an inaccurate term. That’s because, though it implies comfort, mostly the zone is one of familiarity. You know it, what’s within it, how it works, and all that you can expect from this zone.
It’s comfortable only because it’s familiar. When faced with the uncertain and the unfamiliar, having a comfort zone can and will make you feel stabler and better overall.
The problem is that from within your comfort zone, your growth is massively limited. That’s because to grow, evolve, and command change, you must be willing to move into the uncomfortable.
S5 Ep9: Sometimes Finding the Words for Your Thoughts and Feelings Is Hard
What do you do when you can’t find the words?
Sometimes you just don’t know what to say or write. It’s never just the words you use. Even the written word can convey a degree of tone, intent, and attitude.
Communication is a complex mechanism of expression employed to convey ideas. It’s how you and I can share notions, agree and disagree, and expand (or, frankly, shrink) our overall knowledge base.
Communication can be both internal and external.
S5 Ep8: Everybody Starts As a Beginner
Every great began as a beginner.
Whether they were a leader, writer, painter, artist, athlete, or whatever, they started as a beginner.
Nobody enters any given field as an expert. Nobody.
Yes, some people advance quicker than others. This is dependent on inherent skill and/or talent, how they learn, how fast they learn, natural ability, and all sorts of other factors along the way.
