5 Minute Mojo

At one time or another, we have all become fully entrenched in our own “stufff”, our own lives. Some people exist fully on that level each day; no judgment. However, if we are to become calmer then one that will benefit us each day, is to connect with the world around us. To that end, I have created an unusual scavenger hunt that will yield incredible results. Wanna hear about it? Come listen.

it’s human nture to see the world through our eyes; more to the point, through our biases, likes and values. But nature or not, it’s not the most serving way to interact with the world. Especially when we try to impress our likes and views on others. Do you want the premise of today’s episode? It’s real easy; you know nothing. Neither do I. We have borrowed our beliefs from others, and society. To that point, it won’t serve anyone to expect the world to be like you. Long story short, let people be happy and enjoy the things they like.   Links from the Episode: Learn how to ease the pain of anxiety with meditation - Schedule time with Thom (Free Consultation) THANKS FOR LISTENING!

Some of the greatest pain we will feel comes from distancing ourselves from the world. Think about it. So many people spend their lives trying to belong, whether it is to one person or a group. To feel connected. What if I told you that you could feel happier, less alone, if you would only seek to find connection…but not with just one person, or someone you know, but with everyone. Today I talk about the effort needed to find that bond with people. But I’ll also talk about the benefits.   Links from the Episode: Learn how to ease the pain of anxiety with meditation - Schedule time with Thom (Free Consultation) THANKS FOR LISTENING!

How we see our life, creates our life. Meaning, if we see our lives as painful, sad and sorrowful, then that is how we will continue to live life. Conversely, and wonderfully, if we see life as full, loving and joyful, that too is what we will experience. So how do we know how we see the world? I have an exercise that helps with that very thing. Come listen.

We all have an inner dialog; a worrisome voice that points out things to be afraid of, things to feel bad about. For some people it is just a whisper, almost silent. FOr others, many others, it is booming. Today CI5 is CI20, as I talk about ways to turn down the volume of that nasty voice.

There are many days when you might wake up and simply slip into autopilot, not really questioning…anything. Not really looking at your life, not questioning where it’s going or what’s up ahead. Today I ask you a simple question, one that you may think you have the answer to. But before you say anything, I would encourage you to think a little deeper, looking at all the variables.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m thinking many people crave silence, or at least enjoy it. I mean why would so many people like going to the beach or the woods to relax? Wherever you find silence, it’s safe to say that you find it, and not the other way around. Sure there are quieter places than others in the world, but for the most part the planet can get pretty noisy. Today I talk about the importance of having a plan for silence.

Worthiness is not based on anything you will do. Is that a common belief? Not by a long shot. Society tells us there are many things we need to do to be considered worthy. But you know what I say, you are the one that defines you and everything about you. Such is the case of worthiness. Let’s talk about it.

We all understand that being kljnd is viewed favorably by society.  But what does that mean, if anything?  As we all know, it will serve us to only acknowledge and appreciate all the aspects of ourselves as we define them, not society.  So the question is, what does kndness mean to you.   Links from the Episode: Learn how to ease the pain of anxiety with meditation - Schedule time with Thom (Free Consultation) THANKS FOR LISTENING!

Many people turn to meditation to help them become calmer; and that’s not a bad plan. But it won’t always work without the right motivation, and it will never work the same for everyone. Let’s finish out the week talking about calm and meditation.

This week I have been answering the top five questions people have about becoming calmer. Since a poll was too involved and would take too long, I decided to opt for everyone’s best solution; ask Chat GPT. While today’s question is a bit like Monday’s there is a little bit of nuance to it. The question? How do I stay calm in chaotic environments?

Today, and all this week, I have enlisted the help of Chat GPT. I wanted to answer the top questions people had about becoming calmer.

From the day we are born we are judged…and it doesn’t let up. If you don’t have a method for helping you understand your self worth, then you are bound to base your value on the myriad ratings from the people around you. The trouble is, you lose your sense of calm when your misperceived self-worth is in contrast to what value you have as decided by you. Let’s talk about it.   Links from the Episode: Learn how to ease the pain of anxiety with meditation - Schedule time with Thom (Free Consultation) THANKS FOR LISTENING! Be a part of the show!

In our society we are often told to hide or disavow certain emotions; like anger, sadness or anxiety. We are encouraged to only show the parts of us that are lighter and upbeat. But what do you think happens when you mask how you are truly feeling? Not only does it become incredibly tiring, it contributes massively to our level of unrest. Let’s talk about it.

We definitely have the ability to make choices in our lives; to do what we feel is best. But it may be important to know that there is also something guiding us in the background.  Before we even took human form, in my belief, our souls decided what they wanted to experience.  So they know the destination, and they leave it up to us as to how to get there.  But sometimes if we get lost, they orchestrate things to get us back on track.  Let's listen.

It’s safe to say that how you start the day sets the tone for the rest of the day. So wouldn’t it be better to spend some time each morning preparing yourself for the day; calmly, I mean. That was rhetorical btw. Let me share with you how I do it.

Our minds can hold us captive if we don’t take steps to reign them in. Today I talk about the beauty that presents itself when we take a moment to stop and bring ourselves fully into this moment.

It is part of who we are to want to be part of a group, to belong. All of us want to be recognized and seen. But the ways we go about that can either bring us the peace of belonging, while other ways will upset our calm and the calm of those around us. Come listen.
