You Were Meant To Enjoy Your Life

I saw a meme the other day that said if you don’t watch the news you are not spiritual.

Imagine thinking that the divine intelligence pervading all things will look down on you for not tuning into nightly propaganda disguised as useful information.

This kind of thinking emerges from our deep cultural programming that has us convinced that enjoying life is bad character when so many others are suffering.

In Today’s Episode You’ll Learn:

-How we got so mixed up about what counts as spiritual

-Why actually enjoying our lives is one of the most essential things we can do to make the world a better place.

-A short S.H.I.F.T. Model™ practice to connect with the parts of you that believe tuning into nightly suffering somehow relieves the suffering of others and instead frees those parts to reconnect with joy.

If you're ready to re-connect to joy while staying rooted in hard realities, then this episode is for you.

Start w/ Rewards; Sometimes Work Can Wait

Society says taking breaks is a weakness and getting started and working until it’s all done is virtue.

It’s good to finish what you start, right?

Don’t quit.

Never give up.

No pain, no gain.

Push until it hurts.

Give until you bleed.

Whatever the idiom, the message is the same: don’t let up or you’re a pathetic slob.

Well, it’s all lies.

And it traps us in a negative energy rooted in force instead of the powerful energy of flow, ease and surrender.

In Today’s Episode You’ll Learn:

-How we’ve been taught to delay gratification and why it sometimes backfires
-How to flip the script and sometimes eat your ice cream first because its a game-changer
-A short S.H.I.F.T. Model™ practice to connect with the parts that feel like they have to keep pushing and/or you don’t deserve a reward.

If you're ready to learn the powerful benefits of prioritizing joy, then this episode is for you.

You're Not In Any Trouble

We grow up in a culture that has taught us it is more important to avoid punishment than it is to follow our excitement and curiosity.

In our homes we don’t want to get grounded. In school we try to avoid detention.

At work we hope that idiot boss doesn’t write us up.

So we plan for the other shoe to drop, and anxiously do everything we can to avoid it.

But the truth is you’re not in any trouble.

In Today’s Episode You’ll Learn:
-How society installed in us a worry+guilt complex
-How to heal the wounded parts of you that feel like they’re always in time-out
-A short S.H.I.F.T. Model™ practice to connect with the parts that feel like they're always in trouble.

If you're ready to let go of old guilt and shame that doesn't belong to you and never did, then this episode is for you.

Self-Acceptance Is A True Badass Flex

We are told to work our noes to the grindstone.

To give until it hurts.

To put others first.

Because that’s virtue, right?

And to make that pressure even harder to sustain, we are taught to annihilate ourselves emotionally and mentally if we ever get a bit tired or overwhelmed.

Because that’s weakness, right?

In Today’s Episode You’ll Learn:

-Why Self-Acceptance is actually so difficult and therefore badass

-How to nurture more Self-Acceptance so your whole life improves

-A guided experience using the S.H.I.F.T. Model™ to find Self-Acceptance in real time.

If you're ready to understand what Self-Acceptance really means, with your whole body, not just your mind, then this episode is for you.

We are always taught to seek transformation. To advance, achieve, and attain. That could be money, career, romance or even our health.

And while there is nothing wrong with chasing our desires, we mistakenly believe we aren’t complete yet.

We chase a future where fulfillment supposedly lives.

But the truth is that fulfillment lives in only one place: The Present Moment.

In Today’s Episode You’ll Learn:

-How we’ve become so preoccupied with transformation and improvement

-The paradox of seeking perfection in a perfect reality

-The art of allowing transformation by no longer needing it to happen.

If you're tired of always looking for the next self-improvement optimization and just want to relax inside your own skin for once, then this episode is for you.

Beyond Hallmark Cards: Self-Compassion As Felt Experience

We hear about self-compassion as part of healing but language fails to capture its essence leading us to believe it means letting ourselves off the hook, bypassing our pain, or being permissive with our worst habits because “we’re doing our best” after all. But self-compassion is none of that.

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

–Why self-compassion has nothing to do with letting ourselves off the hook

–How self-compassion is beyond explanation and becomes real by felt experience

-How the felt experience of self-compassion leads to accountability

If you’re ready to finally understand what self-compassion means by embracing the felt experience then this episode is for you.

With New Year’s upon us we are bombarded with messages about resolutions, and making every second count, and installing better habits and sustainable routines, essentially creating an entirely new and improved version of ourselves. Even with good intentions and earnest pursuit, the journey of self-improvement is, inherently, a journey of self-rejection. Instead, take a journey of self-acceptance, and see for yourself that on the other side of our resistance is our transcendence.

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

–Why the “New Year, New You” approach is destined to fail.

–Why healing and transformation actually happen through acceptance of what is, not force

-How to embrace radical self-acceptance so transformation can unfold naturally

If you’re ready to truly embrace yourself for once, despite the New Year’s push to self-reject, then this episode is for you.
