10 MINUTES TO LESS SUFFERING

How many times has someone said to you “let it go and just be happy” when you were really stressed about something in your life? While it sounds like great advice, often it is hard to just let go of our thoughts when we are stressed or worried about our jobs, children, financial situation or love life. Listen to this podcast to learn a method to emotionally prepare for unexpected or upsetting events so you can “let go” of some of your stressful thoughts and live with more joy and ease in the days

I think most of us know what goals we want to pursue in our lives, but many of us are afraid that we can’t achieve them. So either we pursue these goals with tremendous fear and worry, or we don’t pursue them at all. But there's a wonderful phrase that I love to use that always helps me focus on my goals while letting go of my fears that my dreams are not reachable. Listen to this podcast to learn this wonderful phrase and how it can help you pursue your goals with less fear and worry!

Many of us do not pursue our goals or passions because we think that the “right time” has passed for these opportunities. We forget that time is not our enemy, but rather it is a blessing, giving us space to allow new possibilities to unfold. Neither your ability to find meaning in life nor your ability to manifest is bound by time. No matter your age or circumstance, there is still time for you to live your best life!

I recently attended a book talk by Paul Selig, a clairvoyant and spiritual channel for The Guides. During the talk, Paul stated “What you bless, blesses you. What you damn, damns you in return.” It can be challenging to bless those who hurt or betray us when we only want to damn them. But it may just be the key to our freedom. Please listen to this podcast to stop damning the people that hurt us and live more in the blessing of our lives.

September is a great time to reset! The summer is often an expansive time and we are usually in a better mindset to make some new commitments. However, whether we can keep these commitments often has to do with our ability to stay aligned with our core beliefs. Unfortunately, when we get stressed and worried, we forget these beliefs. Fear kicks in, moving us away from our true desires. Listen to this podcast to commit to your core beliefs so that you can reset and pursue your goals in September!

Uncertainty is very difficult for many of us. Some of us struggle with the unknown because we fear that we will lose something we love in the future. Others fear the unknown because they worry that they can’t achieve their goals, find love or heal a health problem. There is a mindset that you can embrace to live with more hope and possibility in the unknown future. Listen to this podcast to learn about this mindset and find a freedom to experience new adventures, joy and achievements.

Many of us know how to reduce our stress and worry, but we sometimes forget in the midst of our crazy lives. We can be overworked, stressed, or even generally chaotic about current events, any of which can cause us to lose our footing. This podcast will show you how you can easily create your own mantra, whether it be a word or an inspirational quote, that will can lead you back to center, helping you let go of your stress and worry.

Many of us know how painful it is to be rejected based on whether we are “good-looking” or not. Some of us feel like we have no agency in the world if we don’t come in a particular package. Yet, we all have the inner strength to transcend these belief systems to assert our true power. We can align with our real worth and forge forward with greater focus on our goals and dreams. Listen to this podcast to find your own belief system to capture the most in your life.

When we expect things to happen and they don’t, we can feel disappointed. However, we often fail to realize that our expectations are merely stories that we write about how we think life will move forward. If these expectations aren’t fulfilled, it doesn’t mean we aren’t still okay. We often have many possibilities to still achieve our goals. Listen to this podcast to learn how to expect less, and gain so much more in your life!

Whether it's overeating, smoking, or drinking too much, many of us have a bad habit that we want to break. Most bad habits start by alleviating some of our suffering, providing some relief. The problem arises over time, as most bad habits wear us down emotionally and physically. We rely more on this habit to give us relief from our stressors while the habit wreaks havoc in our lives. Listen to this podcast to learn a method that can help you break a bad habit and make better choices for your well-being!

When we care about people, we feel the urge to give them advice when they struggle. But sometimes we give advice when people don’t want it, which can make them feel like we don’t trust them to handle things on their own. They might just want us to listen and be present for them as they figure things out. If we do have important wisdom to share, we can always ask the people we care about if they would to like to hear our opinion. This way, if we do give them advice, they will feel supported and loved.

So many of us feel dissatisfaction with some aspect of our lives. When we think about achieving our goals or bettering our lives, we can feel as if our lives are not good enough today. Of course, there is nothing wrong with striving to better ourselves, but it sometimes can come at the cost of overlooking the glory of what is right in front of us. Listen to this podcast and open up your entire life by recognizing that this moment is enough.

Our friends and family can tell us their opinions on what to say and what to do, but only we can know the lives we truly desire. However, many of us don’t take the time to be quiet so that we can come to know who we are and what we want. We don't realize that through the quiet we can feel our passions and our desires. We can cultivate a true understanding of our individual life purpose, finding more joy in the days to come. Listen to this podcast to find out how you can find some quiet in your life!

Most of us have had a painful experience in our lives from which we’ve tried to mine lessons to help us move forward. But sometimes we aren’t able to find true wisdom because we get stuck in the story of who or what hurt us. And then we use these stories to try to avoid the pain in the future. Yet eventually, the stories hold us back. It is only the wisdom that we cultivate from these experiences—whether it be greater self-love, or resilience—that leads us to new possibilities.

Self-texting is therapeutic. Sit down and text yourself when your emotions are running high or when you need to express yourself without worrying about how it will make someone else feel. When you send the text to yourself (instead of the original intended recipient), you get the opportunity to not only say what you need to say but to also press send! Then, when you receive the text, you have the time to read it, and be more thoughtful about how you communicate. Self-texting creates less drama in our lives!
