1651: You Don't Even Need to Prove Anything to Yourself

March 27, 2024 11:03 - 6 minutes - 12 MB

Today on Calmer in Five: So much of what we do is to please the people around us; bosses, relationships, even society.

March 26, 2024 10:35 - 12 minutes - 22.6 MB

Today on Calmer in Five: It's in written into our DNA to want to be safe, to exist.  It's why we have a fight or flight response.  However, through the multitude of years, it has become unclear when we are in danger, when we are unsafe. Our minds create perceived danger when none really exists.  Today I talk about how to live a calmer life by redefining danger and safety Meditation Coaching Schedule Time with Thom (Complimentary consultation)   Connect with Thom Linked In - https...

1649: Be Where You Are

March 18, 2024 17:54 - 11 minutes - 21.8 MB

Today on Calmer in Five: One of the easiest ways to become calmer is to learn how to simply allow things to be as they are, including you.  Stress levels become high and stay high every time we have thoughts about things being different then how they are.  Most times when we feel unsettled or discontent, it's because we are comparing ourselves to the people around us.  You don't need to be anything other than what you are, where you are.  Let's talk about it.   Meditation Coaching Sc...

March 07, 2024 04:53 - 7 minutes - 13.3 MB

Regardless of who we are, we all want to feel as if we are moving toward something. And maybe it isn’t specifically toward something, but just that we are not standing still; in a rut.

March 06, 2024 04:31 - 7 minutes - 12.8 MB

Today on Calmer in Five: A few weeks ago I told you of a word, that when uttered, restores our thinking to a more quiescent state.  It is a powerful word.  But as I recently found out, there is another word that goes along with it that emphasizes its power.  Come listen.

March 04, 2024 20:25 - 11 minutes - 20.8 MB

1642: If You're Looking Back, See the Whole Picture

February 23, 2024 12:23 - 11 minutes - 20.8 MB

Today on Calmer in Five: When we look back on our lives, there is often a tendency to see it through rose-colored glasses. We regale in all the good times, turning a blind eye to the challenges we faced. Regardless of how we look back, we still run the risk of missing the moments right here…now.

Today on Calmer in Five: We are told that life is about doing things big; enjoying the big things. But as you will learn today (or maybe relearn) there is such profundity and joy in noticing the smaller moments.

February 15, 2024 03:56 - 10 minutes - 18.5 MB

Today on Calmer in Five: Do consider yourself to be a belligerent person; ready to fight if someone invades “your” space. You are not alone. I have even had a moment or two like that; as you’ll hear. In my case, I found out something really important.

February 09, 2024 13:07 - 6 minutes - 12.5 MB

Today on Calmer in Five: Each of us has different values and beliefs. We see the world in a unique way.  But to that point, how do you see the world, what has meaning for you.  If you haven't asked yourself that question, now might be the time, because your calm could be riding on it.

Today on Calmer in Five: While I know it is not everyone, the majority of people listening to this episode have poured a glass of water, whether it is in the form of coffee or right from the tap. Did you think about the gift that it is? Or the fact that it is as abundant as it is? My guess is no. How about for today, we stop and say thank you?

1637: A Perfect Example of How Advertising Tells You to Avoid Stillness

February 01, 2024 11:05 - 4 minutes - 8.94 MB

Today on Calmer in Five: I came across a commercial while at my Dad’s house the other day that was the perfect example of how advertising ads to our level of anxiety. In this episode, I will break down that ad to demonstrate the subtle ways that marketers propel us to feelings of unworthiness; how they tell us to avoid being still.

1636: Trees: the Perfect Reminder for Living More Peacefully

February 01, 2024 10:41 - 5 minutes - 10.8 MB

Today on Calmer in Five: The poet Joyce Kilmer had it right along when talking about trees. As abundant as they are (hopefully becoming more abundant) you would think we would have a fuller appreciation of them. Well, today I’m going to do my part to right that wrong, and discuss how trees can be the perfect reminder for how to live.

1635: You Don't Have to Be the Best

January 31, 2024 00:51 - 7 minutes - 13.8 MB

There is a predominant belief in the U.S. and many other parts of the world, and it is a huge cause of stress. It’s the misbelief that we need to be the best at what we do. It is a thought that is perpetuated in almost every facet of life; definitely in advertising, and definitely in the workplace. Today I talk about how this leads to anxiety and how to rethink this crippling understanding. Meditation Instruction Schedule time with Thom (Free Consultation)   Become a super-fan of ZEN...

1634: Body Checks for Evaluating Stress

January 25, 2024 00:59 - 9 minutes - 16.8 MB

One of the most insidious parts of stress is its ability to sneak up on us. But here’s the thing; it doesn’t. It just seems like it does because we have a limited awareness. Our body gives us plenty of cues as to whether we are stressed or not, we usually just ignore them until they get un-ignorable. Today, let’s change that.

January 19, 2024 02:37 - 13 minutes - 25.4 MB

It’s no secret that our society in the U.S. is mainly focused on doing things…doing things faster. It’s no wonder why any slight delay in us getting “our stuff” results in impatience. Today I talk once again about shifting our perspective to achieve a deeper level of calm. In this instance, being thankful for delays.

1631: Is the Sky Really Blue - Understanding the Fiction of Thoughts

January 16, 2024 17:08 - 13 minutes - 25.4 MB

Today on Calmer in Five: The thoughts you think create your life. And yes, I totally understand that is a thought. But to my point, a thought that allows growth and joy.

1630: Judging the Past as Bad, Brings that Energy to the "Present"

January 13, 2024 18:20 - 15 minutes - 28.5 MB

Today on Calmer in Five: I discuss the concept of non linear time, but for a very practical reason. When we label a thing as bad from the past, we bring that energy into the perceived present. In order to have a calmer life, it will be serving to remove judgment from events we earlier saw as challenging. Calm University Enrollment is now open!

I got a great reminder the other day about choosing your own path. What was the source of this epiphany? A fly…a common housefly.

January 04, 2024 13:42 - 10 minutes - 19.5 MB

When we wake up and pour a cup of coffee, we never realize what a gift it is to have it. We just think it’s always going to be there. The same is true of people and other things. Because we see them every day, we think they will be there forever. They won’t. Today I talk about expressing gratitude for the everyday things that you might take for granted.

1625: So Long, Social Media

January 03, 2024 00:51 - 7 minutes - 14.4 MB

To many people, the thought of disengaging from any or all social media is ludicrous. However, upon careful consideration, I am going to conduct an experiment for the month of January; no social media…at all. Lately I found myself losing some peace from scrolling through Instagram. Sure I followed some positive authors and thought leaders, but thrown into the mix of their posts were advertisements, negative reels and of course, some unkind comments and people.

There are so many wonderful aspects of being human; but there are some that can mess with our level of calm. Today I talk about one of those things; the feeling of urgency that comes from feeling a need to validate your life. Whatever you do, or don’t do, has little impact on the your value.
