The Merriam-Webster dictionary says that something that’s genuine means it’s actually produced by, or proceeding from, the actual source or author. Something that’s genuine is sincerely felt or experienced. So what does that mean when it comes to you and I and how we’re living? I think a great quote and one of my favorite quotes when it comes to living genuinely is from Dr. Wayne Dyer when he said, “Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer Pretty powerful words. What does that mean to be unobstructed or to live your life free from obstructions? Does it mean that nothing will ever get in your way? No. What it means is, you live your life based on YOU — based on your actual values. So, what do we mean by values? I’ll give you a really easy example that we can all understand… You know those times when you watch a movie, and they just hit you hard emotionally? Maybe you cry, maybe you just feel goosebumps or you get excited or feel emotional or sympathetic or proud or  maybe you just want to cheer?! You see these stories about people that just love unconditionally and they’re courageous no matter what’s happening around them, or they’re just kind to people no matter how mean people are to them. Maybe you see a story about somebody who just chases their dream no matter how many people are laughing at them or pointing fingers. Why? Why do we feel emotion when we see these stories or hear these stories? It’s because they connect with us at our core. We feel emotion because at our core values we see these people or hear the stories about people that live free from obstruction. Because no matter what, they’re being real. They’re not trying to be cool, they’re not trying to be accepted, they’re just deciding to be completely genuine. And we feel that. I don’t care who you are or where you are, you feel it when you see someone being genuine. And you know what’s even more important? You feel it when you’re being genuine — and the flip side to that is you feel it when you’re NOT being genuine. So let’s get to the solution. How do we know if we’re being genuine, and how do we develop better habits if about being genuine if if may seem like, in retrospect, we’ve kinda been controlled by other things or people most of the time? Well, before I mention how to improve the genuineness in our living, let’s talk about some of the benefits of it. Because being honest with ourselves and living honest goes beyond the benefits of feeling ‘good’ mentally, which is a huge benefit, but beyond that… Research tells us that living honestly (which includes being honest with yourself) leads to: Lower stress Decreased cellular aging Increased psychological well-being Longer life Yea, not bad right? So how do we check in on how genuine were being? Well, it’s as simple as this — we’ve got to release our “If’s”. See, a lot of times we develop these ‘conditional’ behaviors. These behaviors that say, if “A” happens, then I’ll do “B”. In other words,

This week's episode is so important. Our confidence plays a huge role in our tendency to create a fulfilled and successful life. On the flip side, a lack of confidence can create some seriously unnecessary complications if not addressed.

No worries though, we're g-checkin' our perspective on confidence right now. By the end of this episode, you and I will be singing "I can see clearly now the rain is gone..."

Welcome to Episode 7! I sincerely have the best listeners on the planet and am eternally grateful to all of you. Today we have the pleasure of conversation with a truly special and talented expert, Dr. Nina. She is a highly-trained and experienced clinician, an award winning blogger, podcast host, YouTube show host and practicing psychoanalyst. Dr. Nina empathetically helps us learn how to relate to ourselves in a new and empowering way so we can become free from the inner conflicts (that most of us are unaware of) and free from the seemingly endless struggle with diet and eating issues. If you eat food, ever, then you need to meet Dr. Nina! Yup, this one's for all of us. :-)

At the risk of sounding cliche’, I’m gonna preface this episode by stating what I believe to be a fact — we are all born winners. Period.The extent to which we develop our individual awesomeness is simply dependent on our decisions. For the purpose of this episode however, when I use the term “Winners”, I’m simply referring to those people we often look to and admire for their consistent, high levels of success. It’s important that when we look at these high-achievers, we remember that there are no “born winners”, even if their life from an outside perspective can seem effortless, glamorous… comfortable. In many ways this appearance can be true to a certain extent, but we have to look at something other than the results. We must look at what lead to the results. Otherwise, it’s almost like watching the end of a marathon and thinking, “Oh how easy! All I’ve got to do is run past that little finish line area and throw my hands up, then I’ll get a medal and people will hug me and tell me how awesome I am.” No so fast. There’s a lot of mileage and effort behind the success of those we admire and respect — & the proverbial “ballin-out” isn’t what made them successful. Listen to Episode 6 to learn more. Thanks for subscribing and spreading the word about The BLOYL Podcast. Stay awesome! :-)
