Stop Buffering
Buffering is whatever activity we do to try to escape from, or cope from, or hide from what’s really going on in our lives and from what we’re feeling. It’s a distraction from having to deal with our emotions, especially the ones we don’t like feeling. As humans, we don’t like to feel uncomfortable.

As humans we feel entitled to feel good and pleasure and sunshine and daisies all of the time. This…

Gratitude and Desire- Episode 13
On this episode we talk about 2 things: gratitude and desire, and how they both work together to help us get exactly what we want. How often do you feel grateful for something or someone? Whether you think it, write it, or express it verbally? Is it daily, weekly, only on Thanksgiving day? The more often we can express gratitude the better.

Taking Action – Episode 12
The results we get in our lives will depend on what actions we take. Our feelings, which are caused from our thoughts, cause our actions and sometimes our inactions, and these actions cause our results. This is important to know because when we try to change only our actions, the result doesn’t last. We might change our results for a little bit, but it’s not sustainable, and we always end up sabotaging ourselves until we end up right back where we were. When we just try to change our actions without changing the beliefs and feelings that direct those actions, we are just treating the symptom and not the cause.…

Spiritual health and emotional health go hand in hand. Spiritual health, I believe, draws everything together.

We start comparing ourselves to others and trying to earn our worth. Listen in as I explain why none of this is necessary. Why you don’t have to experience life as a test to prove your worth. I’ll teach you a few tools you can implement to help you on your journey to becoming spiritually whole.
