Augustine of Hippo in his autobiographical work “The Confessions of St. Augustine”, theorized the past and future only exist in the mind, the present being the only reality. 

According to advanced clinician in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and co-author of the book “The Power of Validation” Dr. Karyn Hall, if we imagine an event happening, our view of the event likely happening increases. 

So if the present is the only reality we experience, and if by imagining an event happening our perception of it actually happening increases, why do many of us say things like:

“When I better job I will…”
“When I get out of debt I will…”
“When I get more in shape I will…”

According to a study published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, many people fantasize about their goals, such as seeing one one's thoughts and mental images about a desired future positively.

The problem with this according to the study, is we don’t have a reference point for our fantasies or mental projections, and thus making individuals far less likely to truly achieve those goals than individuals who viewed goals as expectations.

Expectations consist of attaching our words, thoughts, and actions toward a goal already in the process of being accomplished based on our experiences.

In this powerful new podcast, I explain how to shift toward accomplishing our goals by shifting our tense.

Radical Inspiration Podcast Ep 17 - Change Your Perspective By Tense Shifting

The Radical Inspiration Podcast continues on YOGANONYMOUS with Exavier Pope.

Career transition. Relationship difficulties. Family challenges. Work deadlines. Health issues. Past trauma. 

Each of these conditions cause the release of stress hormones in our bodies, are known as stressors, according to The Centre for Studies on Human Stress. 

Multiple stressors or an intense emotional response to one stressor can paralyze us and make us feel emotionally overwhelmed, according to GoodTherapy.org, a site that helps connect individuals with therapists. 

The feeling of being paralyzed, or “burned out” is a crippling one and endanger our emotional health. If you believe you should talk with a licensed therapist to deal with multiple stressors causing you emotional overwhelm please do so. It may be an embarrassing prospect for many, but as one barista wisely stated to me “The most honest and courageous thing a person can do is ask for help.”

For us taking the self care route, in this powerful new podcast, I explain four steps on how to embrace the feeling of emotional overwhelm and navigate from feeling paralyzed to energized!

The Radical Inspiration Podcast - Overcome Feeling Overwhelmed

SPRING CLEAN YOUR LIFE

The Radical Inspiration Podcast continues on YOGANONYMOUS with Exavier Pope.

Spring is here! 

Days begin to become longer than nights after the spring equinox. 

Rain softens the soil and plants begin to show their true colors. 

Earthworms emerge from the ground. 

Birds' early morning concerts begin anew. 

According to Helmut Schatz, spokesman for the Germany Society of Endocrinology, the increased amount of sun in the spring we receive positively affects our hormones and thus our moods. Spring affects “the sleep hormone melatonin and the happiness hormone serotonin. When it gets light earlier and the sun shines more strongly, more light hits the eye. Thus the pineal gland — sometimes called the third eye — sends an order to the brain to lower melatonin production, “which makes us more lively.”

This spring liveliness expressed in spring festivals around the world and spring cleaning.

The traditions of spring cleaning are in the west, near east, and far east.

According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, spring cleaning can be good for our health by eliminating allergens such as dust, mold, and pet dander. 

Spring cleaning can also can be good for our emotional health, says Dr. Oz Expert Dr. Joseph Cilona, licensed clinical psychologist, personal coach, and author of “The Path: Life Explained in 100 Pages.”

Spring cleaning is not limited to the physical spaces we live in.

In this sprightly new podcast, I explain five steps to do spring cleaning in our lives and bring new light, purpose, good fortune, and relationships!

The Radical Inspiration Podcast Ep 19 - Spring Clean Your Life

Our minds can fertile soil for awareness, opening, joy, and building the life we want, or our minds can be wastelands for darkness, claustrophobia, and tearing ourselves to pieces.

Neuroscientist and mindfulness expert, Dr. Daniel Siegel states it is important to be introspective and take a “time in” to reflect on where we are emotionally. 

However, our mind is not always a safe place. 

There is a difference between introspection, where we focus our thoughts on action based processes designed to help us along in our journeys, and rumination, were we wallow in self defeating thoughts that turn into a recording we cannot shut off, according to psychologist Dr. Tamar Chansky and author of the book “Freeing Yourself from Anxiety: 4 Simple Steps to Overcome Worry and Create the Life You Want.”

In this new powerful podcast, Exavier explain four steps shut off the all to common chatter and enjoy being in our heads!

#SuitUP Podcast: Ep 16 - Michael Jordan, the Modern Empowered Athlete, and Social Responsibility

On Wednesday, August 16th I appeared on Fox News to discuss Donald Trump's presser saying Democrats have failed African Americans.

I refused to dive into politics, focusing mainly on ways we all could work together on all sides. Sounds pretty noble right? Well, some people didn't take kindly to it, and I was roundly trolled and threatened. I diplomatically handled it all by listening and seeking understanding, but this call was pretty ridiculous.

Here is a clip of  the original interview: http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.foxnews.com%2Fv%2F5087308055001%2Fdo-african-americans-agree-with-trump-that-dems-failed-them%2F%23sp%3Dshow-clips&h=VAQGFelY3&s=1
