Shift Your Perspective

These past few years have been difficult; it has exposed us to our limiting beliefs—the ones telling us we're supposed to sacrifice and struggle to reach all the necessary life milestones. But basing our goals on the milestones of past generations or living under our family's limiting beliefs isn't acceptable to us anymore. Information and theories on change are plentiful. Still, we will never cre...

Merrian-Webster dictionary defines Self-Doubt as, "a lack of faith in oneself  :  a feeling of doubt or uncertainty about one's abilities, actions, etc." So, self-doubt occurs when we lack confidence in ourselves or feel incapable of doing things we need to do from making our dreams come true. So where does self-doubt come from and how do we move beyond it? Listen in as I share two major influence...

As Allan Watts said, do you see yourself as a victim of the world, or do you see yourself as the world; do you believe in life's "possibility" or "impossibility"? It's not always easy to move beyond the difficulties of your life (we all have trials and tribulations), but there is a way out of them, but it isn't what you think; you've been taught the wrong way to get out of them. Listen in as Sabri...

If you don't let go of your grip on fear, you won't change; don't get stuck in group dogma because you'll stop growing. If you want transformation in your life (confidence, included), you need to stop reaching for the "fix" of spiritual practices instead of embodying the spirit you've always been. Listen in as Madhur-Nain Webster returns to the show to discuss this topic.

When we go through very stressful and challenging things in our lives, if we are not careful, we can reinforce limiting beliefs about ourselves, our lives, and how the world should be. Going through trauma can actually release our orthodox beliefs of guilt, shame, and negative thought patterns. So the question becomes, how do we do free ourselves from our habit of clinging onto the things that pre...

Are you giving more weight to how other people think you should be, how you should be living your life? If you allow them, others (family, friends, society) will shape your self-image and beliefs according to how they need you to be; a self-serving act, mainly because they don't want to feel uncomfortable with you shining brightly. So how do you let go of the limited identity that others have crea...

I am firmly convinced that when people tell you that happiness isn't sustainable, it is because they have never really experienced it for themselves. So what does happiness look like? How does it feel? How do you make it real in your life? Thích Nhất Hạnh said happiness is available now and that we should help ourselves to it. But how do you do that? Listen in as I share my recent experience learn...

Everyone tells you that you need to listen to your inner voice, follow your intuition or internal GPS, reach your goals, follow your passion, be confident, etc. However, most don't realize that your inner voice is negatively programmed (the blind leading the blind). So what are you supposed to do? Listen in as I share my experiences in understanding what your small still voice truly is and how you...

Why do we allow fear and self-doubt to control us? Because others do? If we know we can create our realities with our thoughts, why do we still create experiences of limitations and failures? Because we were told to believe in impossibility? Listen in as share my experiences in understanding what true freedom is; how we can live our lives in the way we choose because, after all, all things are pos...

Your prayers, dreams, and visualizations won't become a reality if you doubt that they won't come to pass, or if you beg for them. So how do you make your dreams of success, happiness, or whatever you are desiring become real enough that you are actually experiencing them outside of your imagination and desire? Listen in as I discuss what I have learned on this journey so far.

We all get caught up in comparing our journeys with another's; we determine our self-worth on that comparison. It is a deadly trap to fall into. That is unless we are willing to respond to a different narrative, a different perspective, a human consciousness, but without diminishing our own unique hero's journey. Listen in as my friend Oleg Lougheed and I catch up and share his shifts in perspecti...

You become what you think about; there's no way around this – it's everywhere, from all ancient stoic thinkers, spiritual wisdom, and yes, even quantum physics. So how do you stop allowing fear and self-doubt from keeping you stuck in a cycle of guilt, shame, low self-esteem, and hopelessness, and move into a state of confidence and possibility? Listen in as I discuss my understanding of the Divin...

I get it! The world tells you that meditation is about silence, no thoughts and that you must do it every morning in a prayer position; RULES AND REGULATIONS are what they are selling, period! As Buddha instructs, meditation is the way to become aware that you are The Quantum Observer and the power that brings. And as 2004 Nobel Prize recipient Frank Wilczek stated, "God plays a deep yet strictly...

Why do we give all of our power to negative thinking? Why do we feel guilt and shame when we realize that we have been thinking negatively? I am sure you have heard the expression, "Fear is a liar." The truth is, it isn't, and it isn't something you need to be afraid of because there is another way. What do I mean by all of this? Listen in as I discuss the culmination of 9 years of research (and p...

How do you court blind faith? You simply notice that doubt as a judge that wants to keep you in your Old Story and answer it with faith in the New Story. You acknowledge that there are forces at work you cannot see that could be helping you, showing you a new way, giving you hope. Bob Litwin, the author of Live The Best Story Of Your Life, returns to the show to help further explain how you can le...

Do you think you are the only one suffering under the control and power of fear, self-doubt, lack, impossibility? I know I did 9 years ago; it's the reason I created this podcast 6 years ago, to bust that myth wide open. But how do you actually break free from the grip of fear, to release fear and step into your self-confidence nature? Yes, it isn't easy in the beginning to do, but I will share wi...

Transforming our self-image is a process. A process that more often comes gradually, which isn't always agreeable with our conditioning of seeking instant gratification. But as the Buddha expression goes, that which grows rapidly, withers just as quickly. So when the appearance of "failure" in our individual transformation produces thoughts of guilt and shame, how do we view things in such a way t...

It doesn't matter what has happened to you or how big of a mess your life is. If you begin today to repeat over and over the beliefs you want to believe in, they will become a reality for you. But how do you practice this so your affirmations genuinely become a reality for you? Listen in as I discuss the Claude M. Bristol quote, "Repetition of the same chant, the same incantations, the same affirm...

Is the fear of the unknown keeping you from your dreams? Is the voice of doubt whispering in your ear, "How is that ever going to happen for you? It's possible for others, but you?!" How do you know which way to turn? How do you leave your past behind you? How do you live out your dreams in confidence and freedom? Listen in as I answer this question from listener and fellow Phoenix, Angela Smith.

Toxic Positivity, what a mess! How do you deal with negative thoughts when you feel the pressure to think positive all the time, especially when you know that we become what we think about? How do you deal with the overwhelming guilt and shame that we feel when we realize we have allowed negativity to creep back into our minds? Listen in as I answer this question from listener and fellow Phoenix,...

Everyone tells you that you have to journal, right? You might have even tried it and given up on it. Journaling is a potent tool to reprogram your self-image and your subconscious mind, but how can you do it in a way that actually (and finally) works for you? Listen in as I discuss my research of the past 9 years into how reprogramming the subconscious works through the journaling process.

Are you struggling with negative thoughts, thoughts of fear, and self-doubt? Do you believe yourself to be weak, incapable, that your dreams are impossible for you? Listen in as I discuss the only Universal law of thought you need to know. If you can understand it, your life will radically change before your ideas and all your hopes and dreams will finally come true!

Why do you fail to reach any of your goals or dreams? Why does it seem that nothing ever changes in your life? You have heard, "We become what we think about," but do you really believe it? Your answer to this question holds the answers (and the power) you are seeking to make changes in your life. Listen in as I help you to fully understanding the power of "I AM."

Why do we give all the love and compassion we have to others, but are afraid to do the same for ourselves? Why do we put other's needs first, often at the expense of our own? What do we do when we discovered that we have repeated the patterns we've worked so hard to change? Listen in as my returning guest, Amanda JP Brown talks about the lessons learned about releasing family and societal conditio...
