Calmer in 5

Everyone seeks to understand who they are.  But determining that is difficult, if not impossible.  All the labels we attribute to ourselves are made up or without a clear definition.  As you can imagine, that has the potential to create some stress.  Today i talk about the calm that arises when we forget about trying to define who we are, and instead, simple exist.

I am not above being chained to my phone. I definitely don't spend hours on social media, but I spent time playing Words with Friends and watching too much TV (saving grace that it's positive shows). Smartphones have burrowed their way into our heads so secretly. The good news is that you are able to take back your calm. Are you ready?

What percentage of your life do you think is conscious? If you are waiting for me to give you a percentage, I can't. I just wanted to bring up that question to have you think about the things you do that are unserving, the things you do automatically. Best of all, find a solution that has you stopping those unserving patterns. Become a Patreon Supporter of ZEN Commuter and Calmer in 5 Become a sup...

Music hath charms to soothe the soothe the savage breast. But it can also be used as an escape, and not a positive one at that.

Sometimes the masks that people wear are strong, able to convince everyone else that their lives are perfect, free of challenge or pain.  However, regardless of how it appears, everyone has a back story, something they struggled with and overcame, or are still challenged with.

You are powerful.  You are confident, positive and motivated to live a full life. And you will do just that if you stay away from places that drain your energy.  Or I should say, when you make a decision not to willingly give away your energy to these three sources.  Come listen.

There are many people who look to make sure that their lives are without struggle, without pain.  However, as I talk about today, life is empty when we try and shield ourselves from adversity.  You are strong and capable, and that understanding comes from weathering the storms of life.

Social media has been proven to increase levels of depression and anxiety, but it doesn't need to be that way.  You can use it to inspire you.  Let's talk about one way to start doing that.

Today I give you the opportunity to hear from another source that chooses calm.  Joanna Ciolek is a writer for Tiny Buddha, and today she shares her secrets for dealing with anxiety.

There are many words that people believe to mean the same thing, however upon further inspection there are subtle nuances that set them apart.
