Earn Your Good Day

Today's episode is all about this group of neurons in the front part of the brain stem that may be responsible for the direction of our entire life. How could such a small group of neurons have such a large impact on our life? It all has to deal with what we are allowed to see and not see on a regular basis.  Psychologist Jordan Peterson, says that the most important decisions in our lives ar...

Have you been told you should be more tolerant? To just accept things the way they are and not do anything about them?  What if I told you that too much of that is actually the fastest way to an unhappy and unproductive life, full of distrust and stress?  Dive deep with me today on why that is true and how to fix it not only for yourself but society as a whole

Our body is designed to adapt to almost any situation we are thrown into and has an amazing ability to change and modify itself to best complete a task or objective.  We can push our bounds to handle greater and greater amounts of stress and extreme external or internal conditions.  However, if we get out of balance, homeostasis can wreak havoc on our day and mental state.  Today's...

In today's episode, we dove deep into the topic of perspectives, what they are, how they can impact our physiology, the most important perspective to have in my opinion, and how to go about changing our perspectives.  To put it simply perspectives are how we view the world, the events that occur, people, and ourselves in relation to these things.  Often times perspectives are deep-seated...
