Changeable Podcast

There is one simple reason why anyone has any habit, addiction, anxiety, or other recurring issue. It's not about your past or your personality. It has nothing to do with your family history or your genes or your environment. It's a deeper, more basic reason than that. Listen to this episode for the no-exceptions-answer to the WHY question.

The Three Principles is an understanding behind the New Paradigm that I speak so much about in Changeable. In this episode, I speak with Rohini Ross about The Three Principles and how they provide a brand new direction when it comes to how human beings experience change. Rohini has a very deep understanding of these Principles and I love how she speaks about what's possible, and where change comes from in this episode. If you want to see more about The Three Principles from Rohini and the first generation teachers of this understanding, please check out The Soul-Centered Series at: https://www.rohiniross.com/the-soul-centered-series/

Procrastination is a habit that is really ironic. It looks like the problem is all about (not) doing. All about too much inaction…too little action. So of course, we push harder. We force more. We set rigid objectives and consequences. We download productivity apps and find accountability buddies, all in the name of focusing on behavior and doing more, more, more. But look one level deeper and procrastination is a thinking issue, not a behavior issue. Join me as I talk with Julie Gray, procrastination expert. Julie helps me unpack what procrastination truly is. See more about Julie here: https://profound-impact.com/about

In this episode of Changeable you’ll hear about my client Bethany who was caught up in a binge eating habit for many years…and who is now completely free of that habit.  You’ll go on a backstage, insiders-only tour of a habit. How and why it starts, what it’s built upon, and how it ultimately falls away.

When a student in The Little School of Big Change said that particular thoughts and feelings ruin her entire day, it was a totally human and relatable statement. And also one that got me thinking: how are we seeing our experience for a thought or feeling to ruin a day? What is it that we’re misunderstanding? Amanda Jones, coach and moderator in The Little School of Big Change, is my conversation partner as we explore how we are not our experience.

Would you believe me if I told you that you that your habits, addictions, obsessions and compulsions weren’t about you? What if they say absolutely nothing about your character or your weaknesses or your past or your flaws? Can you imagine the impact of seeing that the things you are caught up in aren’t the least bit personal? Listen in to see just that.

What can a child show you about living freely, without habits, anxiety, and other issues? Everything. Children show us how we come “out of the box”, before our mind creates thought and then forgets it was the creator. This episode will remind you what your out-of-the-box settings really are, and how easy it is to be back there.

In this episode, I dive further into the New Paradigm that Changeable is based upon; the new paradigm that shows us how deep and lasting change comes from insight and seeing things clearly, rather than action and doing things differently.

When we take action to try to change our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we’re interfering where we don’t need to. We’re interfering with a system that clears and corrects and changes perfectly—on its own. Discover in this episode how your mind clears itself, and that there is actually nothing to fix.

What if most of what we’ve been told about how change works is wrong? What if we have it backwards, and the things we’ve been told lead to deep and lasting change don’t, really? What if that’s why change seems so difficult and short-term? Change is ironic. In many ways, the less we do, the more we change. Listen in as I discuss the ironic way change really works.
