Calmer in Five

The simple things we do each day don’t require much mental energy, and so, when we are doing them, we send our minds on to other things; mostly worry. We send them anywhere but where we are, this moment. Guess what happens then? You know. So how about giving our attention to the easy tasks, and in doing so, become calmer, mindful. Let’s talk about it.   Links from the Episode: Learn how to ease the pain of anxiety with meditation -    THANKS FOR LISTENING! Thanks again for listening to the show!

1681: Daily Intention Setting Helps Keep You Calm show art 1681: Daily Intention Setting Helps Keep You Calm

Calmer in Five

Much of the world is on auto-pilot; just reacting to whatever shows up in the day. They don’t plan or contemplate, they just impulsively act on whatever feeling they have at the moment. There is another way, and it isn’t specifically about mapping out every part of your life. It’s as simple as setting intentions each day. Let’s talk about it.   Links from the Episode: Learn how to ease the pain of anxiety with meditation -    THANKS FOR LISTENING! Thanks again for listening to the show!

Calmer in Five

You guessed it; I’m going to throw a little shade on society today…one thought in particular. It has to do with busyness. Specifically the misperception that the fuller your schedule is, the more value you have. I hate to say it (I really don’t), but that is a huge misbelief that is sapping your calm. Let’s talk about it.   Links from the Episode: Learn how to ease the pain of anxiety with meditation -    THANKS FOR LISTENING! Thanks again for listening to the show!

Calmer in Five

I have talked about the people that may sap our level of calm, but there are many other things that can derail our peace as well.

Some idioms or phrases have been around for decades for a good reason; as trite as they may sound, they are accurate. They resonate with us. The very title of this episode was a suggestion by my guide Bart…in those very words. I stopped and laughed when he first mentioned it…” You’re telling me to literally stop and smell the flowers?”…and the answer came back just like above. Cliche or not, it’s sound advice. I also have more. Come listen.   Links from the Episode: Learn how to ease the pain of anxiety with meditation -    THANKS FOR LISTENING! Thanks again for...

Calmer in Five

What would you do if, by some means, every time you said a word it would be the equivalent of 5 minutes exposed to radiation. Yeah, I know that is a weird scenario, but hear me out. You wouldn’t use that word right? Well, it may not be radiation, but some words do have the ability to cause stress, anxiety and even sickness.

Calmer in Five

I know from personal experience, that sometimes when i am feeling anger it is because I am frustrated or displeased with something I have done. To that point, as I will talk about today, we will become calmer when we find out the real reason we are out of sorts, and stop projecting our ire onto other people or other things.

1674: Creating Calm and Love with Connection show art 1674: Creating Calm and Love with Connection

Calmer in Five

One of the benefits of being a meditator is spontaneously falling into moments of connection with the world around you. Such a moment happened to me when I was in Boston at the symphony. Today I talk about how the connection I experienced can be cultivated by anyone. And in the process, you not only become calmer, but infinitely more aware of love.
