Insights with Joe Pane

Every new year we have an opportunity to begin again. Whether that be in our attitudes, conversations which need fixing, or new intentions to pave the way forward to new horizons. I love the last week of every year and the first week of the new year. These for most of us are peaceful weeks. Nobody expects you to get back to them. Most of us are in relax mode. Personally, these two weeks are the pu...

First thing we must appreciate about uncertainty is that it is a precursor to all growth. Growth is a requirement of life and therefore uncertainty is something we actually need to remain alive and well. Unfortunately, most people correlate uncertainty with fear instead of growth. There are many reasons why people are frightened of uncertainty. What if we can change this? People often associate un...

Just like physical fitness, emotional fitness has many dimensions. The goal of physical fitness is to feel good and move well. The goal of emotional fitness is for us to have a functional relationship with uncertainty. This means that we become equipped with the psychological resources to navigate life’s pressures. Similarly, we need the physical resources to handle life’s physical demands. I am b...

People pleasing has been portrayed as being a bad thing or a negative thing. Given that the human condition is designed to contribute to others, our most fulfilling actions are when we do something for someone else. As we know the human cond...

In Episode 88 of Insights, we delve into a captivating quote from "John Wick 4." The quote, "Those who cling to death live," triggers a profound exploration of fear, attachment, and the essence of existence. To be frank, I never thought I’d be quoting from a John Wick movie, but here we are. Just recently I sat to watch John Wick 4 and in the penultimate scene (no spoilers here...

And let me tell you, this ONE THING is a game-changer. Over my 17 years of experience training over 7000 coaches, mentoring individuals, and delivering countless trainings, one truth...

Join us as we explore the path from ambition to meaning in episode 86 of Insights. Many people find it difficult to achieve their goals in light of their demanding full-time jobs and family responsibilities. In the meaning-driven world, which includes emotional, spiritual, and bodily harmony, there is the possibility of deep happiness and extraordinary fulfilment. But how can we leave the world of...

In Episode 85 of Insights, we delve into the transformative teachings of Dr. David R. Hawkins. Join me as we explore how simple shifts in our mindset and emotional reactions can help us navigate through life crises and ultimately lead to greater self-awareness and healing. I'll be sharing powerful insights from Dr. Hawkins' book "Letting Go," and discussing how we can apply his t...

In episode 84, I highlight the importance of the quality of our relationships and how it can amplify all of our experiences.  I share that courtesy, which is also referred to as significance, attention, kindness, and respect, is the golden ingredient that serves as the glue for all relationships. Small acts of kindness, such as thanking your partner for cooking dinner or giving them your full...

So many people remained trapped prisoners of their mind. They may spend years living on someday isle. Someday I’ll start my own business, someday I’II relocate, some I’ll learn guitar, some I’ll get fit, someday I’ll commit… Have you noticed that life does not have a pause button. Time passes, regardless of whether we ever leave ‘someday I’II’ or not. Lots of people live their lives like they have...

It has been years since I have set ‘goals.’ The thought of setting another income goal, or health goal, or business goal I find draining, repetitive and boring. Goals are often confused with targets. Nothing wrong with targets if they help you focus, so go for it if it works for you. What if instead we did this ONE new thing? This ONE new thing beautifully fulfils one our most important needs: our...

Many people waste a lot of energy on aspects of life that is outside of their control. Life in general is outside our control. We have no control over what can happen from moment to moment let alone the journey over a lifetime. We can’t control how others will respond to us and in what manner. We can’t control our outcomes. Outcomes are unique echoes of our actions. Anything can happen. We have no...

To understand this we need to first look at the nature of emotions. Emotions are fluid. They move. They don’t stay still. Very much like the waves at the beach. There is a clue inside the word ‘emotion’ (e-motion). Motion, to motor along, or move along. Emotion is also an energy. We know that energy is ALWAYS moving. Because energy is ALWAYS moving, it is always transforming from one form to anoth...

Episode 79 of Insights is about creating self trust and self respect. Emotional fitness is about becoming a professional giver of significance. This matters because most people have very little self respect. Self respect can be one of the most powerful and important gifts we can give ourselves. This is because self-respect provides us with clarity of boundaries, clarity of priorities and clarity o...

In Episode 78 of Insights I am going to ask you to not agree with what I am about to share. I do not want you to agree either. I would love for you to just allow this idea to simmer somewhere in the middle. All good? So here we go... Our thoughts do not belong to us. Our thoughts are not ours. We do not create them. Our thoughts are no more ours than the song belongs to the radio or the iphone whi...

Decades of research into psychedelics, dating back as far as the 1950’s reveals that in most instances the experience of taking a psychedelic of some kind, significantly expands our perspective. By expanding one’s purview on life, broadening our perspective, and seeing through the stories we tell ourselves, our perception of what has happened in our lives can change very quickly. Psychedelic means...

According to one of my favourite spiritual teachers, Caroline Myss, we are shifting from physical five sensory consciousness to an energy consciousness. Both of these levels of consciousness operate with completely different laws! It’s like the land works in very different ways to the sea. You will never find fish in the forest and you will never see sheep in the sea. In essence, what we are talki...

We are born with a unique blueprint. It comes with no manual or guide. Most people live out their lives not knowing, or understanding or even gaining full clarity of their blueprint. This is one of the reasons people find themselves stuck in one way or another. This stuckness lacks movement and we know by observing nature that anything that doesn’t move begins to die. When we are stuck, whether th...

Most people on the planet can, with great clarity tell you what they don’t want. However, if we asked the same people what they do want, in most cases we would be met with blank stares, a vague response or most certainly would lack the same level of crystalline clarity. Mostly, this is because what we don’t want, we have already had, and we either hated it, or we are bored of it, or a blend of bot...

In life, we only have one thing that we can hold onto in order to experience anything. That one thing is our perception. No human alive has direct access to reality itself (unless you are a mystic…in that case you wouldn’t be reading this!). We only have access to our perception of reality. Our perception is our interpretation of what we are seeing, hearing and feeling. If this is so, how do we le...

As a collective we have all experienced living our lives the last two years in ways we could not have imagined. At the time living in Melbourne, Australia, I thought it unthinkable that the police and the army would literally walk our local streets to insure innocent citizens are abiding new mandate directives. Was unthinkable that a city like Melbourne, becoming completely desolate, and that if I...

Without the 3 graces it would be impossible to live. Our 3 graces provide psychological and spiritual oxygen to our very existence here on Earth. These 3 graces provide us with extremely powerful and influential focus points which bring meaning into our lives. The closest linguistic neighbor to the word grace is kindness. Personally, my intention is to bring these 3 graces everywhere I go with the...

That does not make sense! How can the words fantasised and truth go together? The core psychological construct which sits behind all ‘truth’ are our belief systems. Our belief system can be defined as a series of conditioned convenient assumptions. Let’s be clear about truth first. Naturally there are universal truths that are factually present all the time regardless of what we believe. Gravity w...

Our emotional fitness is measured by the quality of our relationship with uncertainty. The core ingredient of uncertainty is change. Change is not a change of direction, it IS the direction which all life moves! Our emotional health suffers when we resist the inevitable and continual change our lives offer us as experience. It is when we get stuck in our past, our historical narrative, or to a sen...
