Today on Calmer in Five: Most of us know that the things we do stem from subconscious thoughts. Many of our motivations are not conscious. That definitely has to do with our perception of ourselves. As I will talk about today, if we don't have the highest regard for who we are, then the things we do will reflect that in our actions.

Today on Calmer in Five: Most of our lives we concern ourselves with being happy.

Today on Calmer in Five: I have no trouble saying that even as a meditator I am not a fan of the Winter.  I know I am supposed to be okay with what is, but the cold and the absense of light brings me down a bit.  But now it's Springtime...And I have a whole new outlook on things.  What about you?

Today on Calmer in Five: So much of what we do is to please the people around us; bosses, relationships, even society. This desire to please causes huge amounts of stress, because we never feel we can simply be who we are; we need to validate our existence to ourselves and in the eyes of others.  Today I talk about another way of living and thinking.  Come listen.

Today on Calmer in Five: It's in written into our DNA to want to be safe, to exist.  It's why we have a fight or flight response.  However, through the multitude of years, it has become unclear when we are in danger, when we are unsafe. Our minds create perceived danger when none really exists.  Today I talk about how to live a calmer life by redefining danger and safety Meditation Coaching Schedu...

Today on Calmer in Five: One of the easiest ways to become calmer is to learn how to simply allow things to be as they are, including you.  Stress levels become high and stay high every time we have thoughts about things being different then how they are.  Most times when we feel unsettled or discontent, it's because we are comparing ourselves to the people around us.  You don't need to be anythin...

Regardless of who we are, we all want to feel as if we are moving toward something. And maybe it isn't specifically toward something, but just that we are not standing still; in a rut.

Today on Calmer in Five: A few weeks ago I told you of a word, that when uttered, restores our thinking to a more quiescent state.  It is a powerful word.  But as I recently found out, there is another word that goes along with it that emphasizes its power.  Come listen.

Today on Calmer in Five: Sometimes the things we see and use everyday become invisible to us; they become a given. Given or not, they have done us a tremendous service throughout our lives and they deserve recognition.   Meditation Coaching Schedule Time with Thom (Complimentary consultation)   Connect with Thom Linked In - https://www.linkedin.com/in/thom-walters-5636391b Patreon - https://www.pa...

Today on Calmer in Five: When we look back on our lives, there is often a tendency to see it through rose-colored glasses. We regale in all the good times, turning a blind eye to the challenges we faced. Regardless of how we look back, we still run the risk of missing the moments right here…now. Today I share with you a story about how that happened to me. Perhaps you can benefit from my lesson.  ...

Today on Calmer in Five: We are told that life is about doing things big; enjoying the big things. But as you will learn today (or maybe relearn) there is such profundity and joy in noticing the smaller moments. There is great peace in understanding that there are no insignificant moments.   Meditation Coaching Schedule Time with Thom (Complimentary consultation)   Connect with Thom Linked In - ht...

Today on Calmer in Five: Do consider yourself to be a belligerent person; ready to fight if someone invades "your" space. You are not alone. I have even had a moment or two like that; as you'll hear. In my case, I found out something really important. Maybe in asking yourself that question you'll have an epiphany too.   Meditation Coaching Schedule Time with Thom (Complimentary consultation)   Con...

Today on Calmer in Five: I came across a commercial while at my Dad's house the other day that was the perfect example of how advertising ads to our level of anxiety. In this episode, I will break down that ad to demonstrate the subtle ways that marketers propel us to feelings of unworthiness; how they tell us to avoid being still.
