Third Degree Mind

Human interaction can be overloading and overwhelming! Sometimes, that overloading comes in the form of texting. If I am being inundated with texts, and I don't feel like responding, what should I do? Is it wrong to use social media but not respond to text messages? What if the person sees me post on social media but knows I haven't answered their text yet? 

My daughter and I traveled for four days to see the recent total solar eclipse. Four days, for four minutes of totality. Along the way we had some hiccups and delays, all of which are valuable life lessons which I'd love to share with all of you. Four days, Four Minutes, Four Life Lessons.

Good morning, Friends. Today on this Thursday, I'm challenging each and every one of you to STOP blaming your past. We ALL have baggage. If you use that as a justification for how you treat others, or how you handle tough situations, and it's damaging to someone else, STOP! You are turning yourself into a victim, when in reality, you might unintentionally hurt someone else. Your past doesn't have...

Does your relationship suffer from a breakdown in communication? Sometimes we jump to blame the person who won't share their feelings, but sometimes the problem runs deeper than that. If the listener doesn't listen, the talker won't talk.

Last time we talked about THINKING BIG, and today's installment takes that a step further, and reminds you that you have to put those THOUGHTS into ACTION. TAKE ACTION, and turn those ambitions into reality. Last time I had you reach for the stars. Today, I want to make sure you catch one.

This morning, I'm challenging you to widen your horizons, and THINK BIG! Ambition is the key to success!

A roadmap for the future of Third Degree Mind... Introducing The Morning Air regular broadcast. 

Third Degree Mind is back in session, after almost a year of silence. In this episode, learn what it means to own and overcome. It means more than just owning your mistakes. OWN YOUR EMOTIONS, and take the first step towards overcoming the mood swings.

2020 has ended, for good! What's next? How do we look forward? On a smaller scale, how do we get to a point where we live "fully" each week, so that we don't have to strive for that next vacation? Weekends are great... but wouldn't it be awesome if your Monday-Friday were great, too? Listen in for more...

Count your blessings! Sometimes the bad news that surrounds us ends up consuming us. How do we combat this? Simple! Count your blessings!

I hope the next pandemic is World Love... and may it spread like Wildfire...

In today's 3 Morning Minutes, make your own luck! Control your destiny. Don't leave your future and your fate to destiny or "the universe" - you are in charge. You're the author of your own story.

Don't forget to love yourself first! So many people in this world are afraid to be alone, that they will compromise their values and their own worth to be with the wrong person, because they'd rather be with the wrong person, than be alone. Listen to this morning update for 3 minutes of wisdom.

2020 has been a disastrous year for many reasons. For some, it feels like hell. Many of us are left asking the burning question: When Will It All End?

There are lots of heroes on the front lines of the worldwide COVID19 Pandemic. But the pandemic has taken a unique toll on the mental health of these life-sustaining essential workers. We're entering a dark phase in which these amazing, self-sacrificing people are at risk for more than just getting physically sick, but mentally fatigued, exhausted, burnt out, depressed, and in some cases, suicidal...

The COVID-19 coronavirus international pandemic has caused lots of fear and panic. In this episode, I'm looking at the pandemic situation specifically, and discussing "fear of the unknown," which is perhaps one of the scariest things about this pandemic. For many people, fearing the unknown is the worst kind of fear. Whether it's a viral outbreak, a college student worrying about their future, soo...

When you bottle things up inside, you will inevitably explode eventually. How big of an explosion, and how catastrophic and damaging, is all up for debate. It all depends on a variety of factors. I call this the "built-up syndrome." You bottle things up, eventually little things start to irritate you, and you bottle them up, and you start heading for that inevitable explosion. This series of episo...

Happy New Year, my friends! In the first episode of the year, we'll be talking about New Year's Resolutions, some strategies and planning techniques to help make your Resolution a success - I want you to meet your goal and close out 2020 with a bang in December, not with a whimper in February when you abandon an unrealistic or poorly planned goal. I also want to talk about the importance of self r...

Find your own identity. Don't allow someone else's identity to become your own.

Two main topics today... First segment we discuss some life choices, and making sure we make choices that impact others in a positive manner, while improving our own quality of life. In the second segment, I talk about medications for mental illnesses, as I've received numerous questions on this topic from our listening audience. I'm going to begin exploring this topic in future episodes as well -...

A Father’s Love is like none other. It’s not a “bonus” to have a good father, it’s a necessity. I hope you had the opportunity to wish your Father (biological or not) a happy Father’s Day.  Also in this episode, a message from Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October about the daily struggles of depression, and the importance of making the choice to overcome. Recovery is a daily choice. It’s not easy, b...

Life keeps moving whether you're living it, or sitting on the sidelines as a casual observer. There is no pause button for you to press while you line up your priorities, it just keeps going. We keep getting older. Every minute that goes by, is one less minute that you have left. Life goes faster than you think, so don't blink.

Just a short update.... yes we're still here. Third Degree Mind is not being discontinued, we just take some hiatuses once in a while, but we are still here. Today's quick update has a message from Jeremy Anderson about your own individual worth, and never forgetting that you have value. Start your week off on the right foot with this inspirational message.

Everyone goes through times in life where someone else hurts them. Everyone gets betrayed, screwed over, mistreated. It happens to the best of us, and it happens all the time. It's simply a part of life, and life is never easy. How we handle these situations is key to our happiness. If we walk around constantly blaming others for what they did to us (even when it is truly THEIR fault), we get stuc...

It's February 11.... so what? It's the first birthday of Third Degree Mind Podcast!
