smh... student motivation hints

been a while since i recorded, but back at it! we are the species that tells stories. our entire culture and societies are built on ideas based in stories. if you look at it, how you view yourself is also just one big story. and stories can change.

had a revelation, going hard here, war on phones, war against distractions.

what if you thought about nothing? are you in control of your thoughts? are you responsible for your thoughts

to find the right change, to make the right choices, takes time, stillness, patience, and focus

struggling pretty bad right now, but is that even a bad thing? something to escape? do i even need to understand it?

some anxiety hitting me hard today, had no idea what was going to come out of my mouth

got the big buzz from this one

i had this thought the other day: all of a sudden, there is so much time. rushing is a disease of our society and culture, there are SO MANY MINUTES in every day. notice which moments ripple positive vibes to the other minutes and hours, and which rocks ripple negatively in your life lake

do you enjoy practicing hard things? perhaps the hardest thing is knowing yourself, and being honest with yourself, completely, and deeply. who are you?

do you want to change? do you want to change someone else? everything changes. that's the law of the universe, right there next to love :) <3

ngl, i went hard on this one. enjoy

yes, i mean it. mistakes are the ESSENCE of learning! you cannot grow or learn if you do not make mistakes. so step on- tell yourself it's ok!! step 2, start asking questions to find out WHY, AND HOW, and then step 3: find the right fix!!

today was difficult, our lives move so fast, there's so much happening, so much to do, so much to think about, meditation is the antidote. the quick reset to balance out

do you need to practice focus, cultivate compassion, or experience more awe? join me on a tour of 3 different types of meditation: focus on breath, loving kindness, and mindfulness meditation.

life is not about perfection, and nothing in life is bad. all you can develop is a healthier mindset as a tool to reframe anything to helpful!

life can be complicated in good ways and bad ways, and as simple as a calming, deep, breath. also, near the end a youtube ad pops up and we meditate right through it! 1st one of the new school year

2nd day of a new school year, growth mindset allows you to change who you are by identifying with your actions, your effort

we are habitual creatures, we get in positive routines, and negative ruts. but when we break it down and realize what is addicting, and that our brain can be REWIRED, we have the power to change ANYTHING

I haven't been my best, but perfection is not possible, not for me at least, not if you're human! But there are ways to accept, to learn, to love, to find the root of the problem and learn how to face your faults with compassion so that you can actually grow in the way you want. and it feels SO MUCH BETTER than just judging and hating and regretting...

complaining and whining can be done correctly, as long as you don't follow it up with actions. we all need to release and vent in a variety of ways, and that can be productive if it doesn't leave you more negative, or stuck. see things for what they really are- and make sure feelings are separated from actions

education is the key to changing whatever you dislike about your life right now. SWEAR. it's not supposed to be easy or fair, but if you want control and freedom in life, it all comes from education.

at the end of a tough week, we have 1 month of school left. 80% of life is doing stuff you don't want to do, so SHIFT gears, it's game time. if you want TRUE freedom you will tackle your responsibilities.

we have an issue in our society where people think they are supposed to be completely independent otherwise they are weak. STRENGTH is being SMART enough to know when and WHO to ask for help

no one is supposed to rely on their brain alone all the time, and no one successful or happy does!! surrounding yourself with people, books, podcasts, quotes, pictures, art, planners, notes etc all help you remember who you are every day, and what you have to do, and what you're doing it for!! This is simple brain science. use it to your advantage cuz you're SMART not to be completely on y...

do you procrastinate by cleaning or organizing?? Listen, you gotta know yourself and know if that's what you need to do to be productive, but stopping to reflect on all your physical space and organize it, especially if you don't do it very often like me, can be a SUPER investment in your productivity moving forward.
