Better Than Happy

Your brain thinks that the things that happen in your life should be filtered through the lense, "How does this affect me?" This self interested position is not only unnecessary, it keeps us stuck, inhibits our relationships, limits our parenting and causes many other problems. But when we remember to tell ourselves, "It's not about you," we get to live the higher, more fulfilled life we are meant...

Do you have a goal? I'm not talking about the to do list or the things you wish were habits but aren't yet. I mean a big, scary goal or a dream.

All of us have moments when we feel like a victim. A part of us finds some relief or validation in identifying this way. But for some people, victim mentality becomes a dominant personality trait leaving them constantly delegating responsibility for their emotional lives to people and things outside of them.  The post Ep 79. Victim Mentality appeared first on Jody Moore .

To be vulnerable means to expose your weaknesses in such a way that you risk being harmed. No wonder we don't like it. We didn't get this far as a species by being vulnerable. But the truth is allowing ourselves to be vulnerable is how we truly connect with one another and as Brene Brown teaches, connection is what we are here for. Today I'm teaching you more about vulnerability and how to get mor...

Ever feel like there isn't enough time? Like you're too busy? Like you missed a deadline? Time is like money in that it's easy to develop a scarcity mindset around.

Our children are here on earth to experience an entire range of emotions and as parents it can be heartbreaking to watch. But for your child (and for yourself) resisting emotion actually feels much worse than just allowing and processing it. Most of us were taught to resist it as children and when we try to talk our kids out of feeling bad we're passing on that same harmful message. Today I'm teac...

Our energy is like time or money in that it is in limited supply at any given time and it's something I want you to consider using wisely and investing to get a return on when you can. Many of us don't pay attention to where we are putting our energy and this lack of intention will not always create the life and feelings you want to have. The post Ep 66.

We all have interactions and events in our lives that help mold and shape us in profound ways. Sometimes they affect us in positive, empowering ways and sometimes they impact us negatively and keep us from progressing and feeling confident about ourselves and our world. I call these turning points. Turning points usually have a significant amount of emotion attached and cause us to realize that so...

Sometimes we're grateful that other people are good at things we're not good at. Other times we wonder why everyone isn't like us and at times we even find it very annoying and inconvenient. But we are all different and of course this is a good thing.  The post Ep 64. Strengths and Weaknesses appeared first on Jody Moore .

Sometimes it's hard to say no but failing to do so can lead to a life that is less than authentic. In fact it's living in dishonesty or at the least without full integrity for yourself and others.

This week in Take Tuesday I sent out a message asking, "why?" I wanted to know why you're thinking of your life as overwhelming and unfair and hard. We describe our lives this way as though we are just stating facts but the truth is all of it is the story we are telling ourselves and that story becomes our reality. Why would you want your reality to be so full of suffering and so lacking in joy? T...

Homework. Kids hate it. Teachers probably hate it. Most parents I know hate it. But whether or not we agree, it looks like most schools are going to keep offering homework. Given that, there are 3 valuable lessons your kids can learn from homework and they have nothing to do with Math or Spelling. Homework provides a perfect scenario to teach them that they don't "have" to do anything. Secondly it...
