The High Cost of Anonymity Podcast: Exploring the Cost of Keeping Your Life Experience to Yourself

Sarah and I have been going to church for the very first time. And when I say, the very first time, I mean us willingly going to church for ourselves as adults. There are so many great things I get from church, like hearing a great message that makes me think and feel a type of way, meeting new people, and being a part of a community. And yet there are always a couple of topics that are sticking p...

At some point I always find myself here on though questions. These just happen to be around church.

Do you ever find yourself rebelling against the thing you say you want? What that looks like for me is, I get out of my routine. Innocently at first and then fall on. For the first time in two months I missed my breath work. I didn’t realize it until last night and actually, I’m not surprised. I’ve been slowly inching my self off the path and the “forgetting” my breathwork was just a symptom of so...

It’s shocking how often I need to be reminded about the same thing over and over and over again. If you know someone that needs to hear this podcast be sure to share it with them.

So often, I think something is going to fix me. Not in the sense that I feel broken. The sense that, at any given moment I have a feeling of discomfort, uneasiness, dissatisfaction, or that something is going to go wrong. I can go through any number of solutions in my mind, new shoes, an affirmation at work, food, not having to be inconvenienced with something, a windfall of money, you name it, I’...

No matter how much I learn, relearn, and practice, I still forget most days. What am I forgetting you ask? That I’m the way I’m supposed to be and life is the way it’s supposed to be… And yet, I still spend most of my time fighting to “manage” it all… in the form of worrying, planning, and strategizing to hack the system! On this episode, I share what I find that works when trying to shift my thin...

Ever have someone tell you you need to do something and everything in your being says “NO I DON’T!”? Especially, when I don’t want to hear it, feeling vulnerable, or feeling defensive. On this episode, I talk about how my sense of obligation turns into resentment and the tools I have in place that sometimes work! If you know someone that would benefit from hearing this podcast, be sure tho share i...

I found myself today getting resentful at all the things I’ve asked for… you know like, parenting, husbanding, working, living… then, I respectfully sit down to do breath work and meditation and poof, it all goes away. Funny that. K Preston Moore Instagram @kprestonmoore Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/k.preston.moore Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/highcostofanonymitypodcast/?r...

We did it! Thirty episodes in thirty days. It feels good to finish a commitment, to be back having conversations with you, and to be working out my thoughts on the podcast. I have a goal this year to explore my relationship with my father eighteenth years after his passing. I’d like to put out a number of old episodes that I never put out and to finish the ACA series I started. I’m grateful and gl...

Boy did I not want to do my breath work commitment… or the podcast for that matter. However, when I did, I realized how good of a day I had with my son. I had the day off and he ended up staying home from school #covid. Initially I was super annoyed because I wanted to enjoy my alone time. It was only until I did my meditation when I realized I actually had a great time with him. I also followed t...

Holy crap that was crazy. I’ve been planning on doing this 4 hour virtual workshop all week. When I started it around 9 o’clock I was on edge, annoyed, and not sure I was going to be able to finish it. Well, I did and on this episode I share before, during, and after what it was like going on a one hour Breathwork journey… and I’m grateful I did!. If you know someone that would benefit from hearin...

It’s the first day of the year and it seems so uneventful! I spent most of the day annoyed. The funny thing is, I did 2 meditations and both times I got a glimpse of total contentment… then thought to myself, man this feels boring, lol! Worrying, planning, and dreaming about what’s next feels so eventful. In ACA they talk about an addiction to chaos and that’s where they mean. Often, it’s not phys...

I feel like I’m ending the year strong, unintentionally. I’m grateful for 2021 but ready for it to be over. I’m looking forward to the next season, breathwork, yoga, a deeper knowing, and spiritual journey. I wish you the best in 2022!

On this episode, I talk about some realizations I had about helping Austin experience and expressed anger in a safe way without teaching him to stuff it down. And, I talk about a podcast with the founder of IFS Therapy whose name is Richard Schwartz, not Schultz, which I reference multiple times on the podcast. It’s a really good one.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how this gentleman described his dark room retreat journey. He said that as his visualizations were kicking in his mind would make up obstacles in the room. In other words, it was pitch black yet his mind would fill in the gaps of the room with walls and furniture and beams and things to walk around, even though they weren’t really there. He took that as a metaphor f...

I’ve gone down the rabbit hole around darkness retreats. Aubrey Marcus has a video on YouTube called finding love in the darkness. He spends about two hours talking about his experience on a six day darkness retreat and a quarter later with the heroes journey. It’s a great interview and tons of insight. It’s interesting how many ancient practices are geared towards going within. But not just to lo...

Most of the time, it’s not a matter of intellectually knowing something. For example, it doesn’t matter that I know it’s important to be grateful. If I can’t get into a state of gratitude, the knowledge is useless. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to consistently get into a state of gratitude and acceptance of where I am. I can intellectually fake it however feeling it for real for real,...

A quote by a guy I’ve known about but hadn’t heard of this one before, Carl Jung, “No tree… can reach the heavens unless its roots reach down to hell.” It’s based on this idea that most people, myself included, want the good without the bad, want the light without the dark, want the benefits of happiness and positivity, joy, gratitude, and elation. All without looking at the darkness from our past...

Christmas has come and gone. Santa made it and Austin was thrilled. We had steak and king crab for dinner and a dessert to die for. I’ll tell you about it in this episode.

Being pissed off seems a little strong but oh do I get annoyed thinking about waking up early every day of the week. I mention this because I feel like if I don’t get up before everyone else, I won’t get any time to myself. I’m realizing more and more and I have to carve out time to be left alone. Part of me feels guilty for it, part of me feels weak the I need it, and part of me feels selfish for...

Unanimity is not something that is talked about very often. It basically means that everyone in the group agrees. When we talk about voting or group dynamics, usually majority wins, even if that’s the only one vote. The problem with that in volunteer 12 step fellowships like I attend, sometimes half the group can leave disagreeing with what happened. It can create division and resentment over the...

I made a decision a long time ago that if I want to build a relationship with someone, it’s my responsibility to build a relationship. In other words, I don’t need to keep track of how many times they reach out, how many times I return my phone calls, or how often we do stuff together. I model what it is that I value. On one hand that feels very inspired and altruistic however sometimes I wonder i...

I have found myself telling people that I’m in a pretty good place and making some commitments that feel really good right now. What that looks like is, I feel inspired to commit to something in the moment, usually when I am on a high from doing something positive from myself, so I commit. It just so happens that I’ve been committing to a couple different things in a short period of time… podcasti...

Almost every day I wake up and say to myself some form of, I’m for sure getting this done today, I’m for sure going to be finished by this time, or I’m for sure not going to procrastinate today… then… procrastination and delays set in! I hate even talking about procrastination but it’s one of my biggest symptoms that something ain’t right! Also, there’s a great podcast about Helle Weston’s first i...
