E594 Do You Have The Truman Show Delusion?

January 23, 2023 12:30 - 10 minutes - 11.6 MB

Did you know that there are people who actually believe that they are living in a staged reality show?   There are normal (or not so normal) people like you and I who have been studied and shown to suffer from the delusion that they are being watched by cameras and are in some sort of television show when they really aren’t at all.   This is what is called the Truman Show Delusion.   I was watching Top Gun and got to thinking about actors who will dive so deep into character that...

Have you ever wanted something SO bad that just daydreaming about it made you feel giddy?   Jim Rohn discusses a really cool concept to help us finally get to the goals that we want in life called Pull Power (Check out The Art of Exceptional Living here).   Essentially, we can imagine our wildly important goal as this heavy ass bad that is 25 feet away from us.   Pretend that there is a rope tied to the bag and at the other end of that rope is you, staring straight at your goal. ...

January 13, 2023 12:30 - 10 minutes - 11.9 MB

Would it be possible for you to take your phone and put it away completely in another room, shut off for an entire hour while you had a game night with your family?   (Check out my favorite game night game here)   Why or why not?   Scientists took a group of people into a room and they put a random phone on the table that they were sitting at.   They took a second group of people and placed them in a different room with a notepad on the table instead of the phone.   The g...

December 30, 2022 12:30 - 10 minutes - 11.3 MB

I’ll bet you already know this…   But the definition of hope essentially means that you have a belief that your future can be better than your present.   Hope gives us vitality and purpose gives us hope. When we have this combination, we have energy and that is the reason having a ‘why’ is so important.   Despite this knowledge, it is not uncommon for us to find ourselves feeling down in the dumps.   Perhaps today’s episode will change that.   Scientists from John’s Hopki...

It’s likely that you know someone who suffers from alcoholism and perhaps it is you yourself who does.   While we don’t cause harm to those that we care about intentionally, it is possible that there are times when inadvertent harm is caused based on a lack of understanding the context.

December 26, 2022 12:30 - 10 minutes - 11.8 MB

Do you remember the childhood fable that shared with us the story about The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs?   If you are anything like me, it took listening to the story again to remember what the true lessons were.   I always thought that it was a story shared that would allow us to become more thankful for the things that we had as well as to know that good things in life take time.   But there’s a part of the nursery story that you may not have listened to before and it's one...

E581 Here Is One Way To STOP Undervaluing Yourself

December 23, 2022 12:30 - 11 minutes - 12.2 MB

Do you remember when hip hop music made way for profanity to become a part of normal language? While it might have seemed to have started later, it actually began in the early 1980’s. It certainly makes me appreciate modern artists like Tom MacDonald who point out the damage that this has caused.    Over time, it started to feel less offensive and ‘cooler’ to call and be called words like a bitch.   My seven-year-old nephew shocked me at the Thanksgiving dinner table this year by ref...

December 09, 2022 12:30 - 12 minutes - 13.2 MB

Marcus Aurelius’ words taught us, ‘Why would I care what someone thinks of me when they don't even have a good opinion of themselves?’   We’ve all been in situations where someone approaches us and their sour mood rubs us the wrong way (misery loves company after all, right? WRONG!).   We also know what it’s like to be around someone who makes us feel lighter, happier.   In today’s episode, Coach Ashlie Walton and Detective Walton break down the importance of understanding projec...

Alberto Villoldo, PhD, is a "medical anthropologist and best-selling author who has studied the shamanic healing practices of the Amazon and Andes for over 30 years."   He teaches us that we evolved to deal with only one lion roaring at us at a time.

What would you do if on purpose, you gave yourself no choice but to either continue forward or die?   That’s exactly what Hernan Cortes did when he arrived in the New World with his 600 men.
