048: We're being fucked with! Oct 30, 2021

Show notes

I came in a little hot on this one, but this is getting out of control. Have you ever thought about how much money is being made off of people being fat, sick and lazy?

We're programmed from a very young age to desire terrible 'food'. Look at the messaging on sugar and chemical filled cereals, kids menus, sugary drinks, etc. and this carries over into our adult lives.

Then we start having health issues and in come the medications, diet fads and offers to make you 'healthy' without doing the work. We need to get out of this cycle and stop making billions, even trillions of dollars for these predatory industries. It's simple, but not easy to do. Nobody is going to do the work for you.

Show notes

If you objectively look at your thought patterns, constantly shifting from one thing to another, it's difficult to conceptualize how we can have any peace with the voice always on. Imagine this was an actual person with you all day, every day saying these things out loud. How much time could you spend with this person? There are ways to give yourself a break from this inner lunatic by using mindfulness practices.

046: Things Can and Will Go Wrong Oct 13, 2021

Show notes

We know that anything we do has the potential to not go the way we intended. It often catches us off guard and negative emotions can come from it. One thing the stoics teach us is to take some time to acknowledge that things can go wrong. Rehearse the possible outcomes in your mind, then if these things do happen you'll be more equipped to stay calm and not let your emotions get ahead of you.
