spiritual principles made practical's podcast

The tougher the times, the. more we need to focus as much on the present moment as we can.  I remember a time when I set a goal to get through the next 3 minutes.  I did, barely.   I've chosen a challenging life.  The greater the difficulty in my life, the more I focus on the present moment all I can.  I focus on my breathing.  I focus on acknowledging the thoughts in my mind, letting all but the...

I meditate on average about 15 minutes a day and it's changed my life.  I write down the thoughts in my mind.  I become aware of my thoughts and the freedom I have to choose to act on them or not.   I know when I've been at peace with a decision, it's worked out well for me almost every time.  I am considering an investment in my business.  Part of me thinks I'm not comfortable hiring this service...

Example is the most powerful form of leadership.  When we share our story of how we risen to the occasion when faced with big challenges in our life, it inspires others to do the same.  We need to share our stories in a fashion that the people listening to the story can relate to. They need to see themselves in our story.  We need to see the similiarities those we wish lead and inspire have with o...

When we are accepting of our thoughts and the feelings those thoughts create, we find ourselves more open to share what we're thinking and feeling.   That openness that comes with greater self acceptance inspires others to respond in kind.  I've found through the years, the more open I am with others, the more open they are with me.  When I exude acceptance, people feel safe and supported in trust...

Pay off the highest interest debt first.  That's dealing with the effect.  To deal with the cause, employ the spiritual principle "the solution to every problem is to be more honest with ourself".  Write down what you're spending money on every time you spend money.  Continue spending on what brings you love, joy and upliftment.  Stop spending everything else.  Money is a tool to be used to enrich...

Our emotions are created by our thoughts.  Listening to the thoughts in our mind helps us identify the thoughts that are creating the difficult emotions.  Once we identify the thought creating the emotion, we are in a position to ask if that thought is. true. Invariably, there are aspects of the thought that are not true.  The more we accept the negative thought,the more space there is for accurat...

As long as we haven't given up, we're not truly stuck.  The determinate in life is how much we believe in ourself.  Every day we don't give up, we believe in ourself a little more.  Eventually that belief grows to the point we see it reflected back to us by the outer world.   I wrote a book entitled, "Believing in ourself, the master skill" that goes into this in detail. I could say that I'm stuck...

I do beieve that unlimited joy is part of who I am.  I don't have to create that joy.  It always exists as part of who I am.  Sometimes I'm consciously experiencing that joy and sometimes not.  When I'm not, it's because I am having negative or inaccurate thoughts.  I know the way to weaken the power of those thoughts is to accept their existence and allow myelf to realize that while they may be i...

Being aware that we live in the eternal present and that time is a creation of the mind in the present moment, ends time as we've historically thought of it. I've already accepted and relate to there is no sense of time when I'm in the flow or sometines described as being in the zone.  We don't think of time as existing until we leave the flow and create time to reflect back on that time.  I belie...

Being concerned about money is an effect of a lack of mind, body spirit alignment.  When mind, body and spirit are in alignment, there is peace, health, wealth, joy, happiness, love and everything else of value, including the money we need. Our spirit is consistent, cannot be changed and is indestructible.  For alignment to occur it's the mind and body that must change to be in alignment with our...

When we are detached from our mind, we are allowing ourself to consciously experience being present.  In fact, we're always in the present moment because there is no other place to be.  We think past and future exist because our mind creates that idea in the persent moment.  As soon as the mind stops creating the past and future, they cease to exist.  If you have a method you confidently use to de...

I've been sick.  To me that's a message I need to listen more closely to myself because there is somethig I'm missing that I have the capacity to hear if I just slow down and listen well enough.  In this morning's meditation I was inspired to record a podcast addressing the question, when to push and when to allow.  I believe there is a time and place for everything, including allowing and pushing...

Example is the most powerful form of leadership. Share with those you lead what drives you; what you value.  Ask them to reciprocate in sharing what drives them.  With that knowledge getting "buy in" is greatly enhanced.   I offer coaching.  To set up a free introductory session, reserve your time at https://calendly.com/scottfriedman40/30min My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links t...

You can only give what you have.  To help people on your team take ownership and maximize the benefits of their talents, you need to be an example of making that work. You need to write down with as much articulation as possible what your talents are and how you use them to benefit yourself and others.  Then you need to write down your weaknesses and how you design around them. Because example is...

Almost all of us agree that our mind has more power than we give it credit for.  I want to accept and realize as much of my potential as I can in this life.  Given these 2 facts, it makes sense that I want to claim more of the power of my mind. A few months ago I decided adopting a mantra would be one way I could have more conscious direction of my mind.  I could consciously select more of the tho...

Intellectually I know that I create my world with my mind in the current instant.  Creating alignment with that fact is a whole different challenge.   For me the habit of abondoning what I know to be true in favor of trying to align with those I see as being "other" is hard to break.  Sharing and acting on the perspective that connecting with myself is the only way to truly be connected to others...

We create with our mind.  More specifically, we create by acting on our thoughts.  Our thoughts can be conscious or unconscious, positive or negative, true or false. To make room for more conscious, true, positive thoughts we need to diminish the power of negative thoughts by accepting their existence and chooseing not to act on them.  If my experience is any indication, the negative thoughts don'...

For more than 50 years I've had a cough when I've denied negative thoughts.  It first occured when I was a freshman in college.  I coughed so much that I would repeatedly start to pass out from lack of oxygen.  Only as I was falling to the ground and about to completely pass out, would my throat relax and allow me to inhale.  Years later I discovered I could stop the spasmodic cough by acknowledgi...

Our behavior is controlled by our conscious and unconscious mind.  When we can't seem to get ourselves to do what we want to do, it's because subconscious thoughts are stopping us. The solution is to move the thoughts from the subconscious to the conscious.  Once the thought is in our conscious mind, we can choose to act on it or not.  As long as it's in the subconcious mind, we don't have a choic...

Everyone wants to do well.  The team leader can inspire the team by acknowledging the strengths of the members and how those abilities can be applied to help the team.  Paradoxically, the better the team performs, the more benefits come to the individual members of the team.  One of the most valuable contributions any team member can make is to be effective in supporting the team's success.

You can re ignite your spark anytime you want.   Sit quiety amd ask for ideas to come into you mind that that are exciting and uplifting.  Then act on those ideas.  Make some goals you're enthusiastic about and take action. I want to make a huge contribution to the world.  That's a gigantic goal.  It inspires me to keep finding more and more ways to contribute value using my talents.  I'm excited...

We are all of infinite value.  The challenge is to consciously accept it to the point where that acceptance of our value is reflected back to us by the outer world. One way to do this is to persist.  Every attempt we make in achieving what is important to us strengthens our belief in ourself.  I wrote a book entitled, "Believing in Ourself The Master Skill".     Another way we clear the way to all...

Liv Fisch helps people heal in the past, present and future to create greater alignment and energy.

Some stories of our paths were shared that I believe will lift others up.     I offer thought coaching.  The first session is free.  You can sign up at https://calandly.com/scottfriedman40/30min My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links at www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com  

With enough energy we can accomplish anything.  What gives us more access to the unlimited energy we are is acting on thoughts that have that energy associated with them. In my experience some of the energizing and uplifting thoughts are commonly supported by society and many are not.   In fact some of the most empowering thoughts are not supporterd by society.  These would include: the present mo...
