[ ep 8 ] this one is for the chronically lonely people – like me! friends…this one is confessional… and conversational. if you want to feel like a friend is opening up to you about something real…here it is.

typically I never like to spread negativity via “complaining", but it’s for the sake of people needing to feel understood if they’re experiencing something similar (also for the sake of analyzing the human condition as usual, right).

do you feel socially frustrated? like you want to have meaningful conversations and connections with people but find it difficult?

finding social fulfilment in the modern world can be a struggle. today, we’re gonna break down some of the reasons why. a few examples: people being ingenuine with curated personas, having selfish motives, or being emotionally reactive. feeling the pressure to be entertaining enough to keep someone's attention, the pressure of conforming in order to social signal

no wonder we feel like the world is lacking light or why we feel lonely. we are craving authentic relationships and to be honest, a lot of my interactions with people leave me feeling a bit empty.

I think another reason why we feel so lonely is because current reality is far from what our brains are socially used to like living on the land and in small communities. let me tell you why I crave that just about every day

I hope you enjoy it :)

[ ep 7 ] HIII FRIEND. okay, I'm tired of operating with an excited nervous system every day and I'm on a journey of rewiring my brain. as an adult, it's challenging to change unwanted patterns that we picked up as children, because humans are very good at repeating their neurological patterns. we must challenge limiting beliefs like "I just have anxiety". we must believe that we can transcend this…and we most definitely can.

let's be real with ourselves. if we know what is good for us why aren't we doing it?! and let's ponder the question...how do we actually change ourselves for the better?

and FINALLY, I wanna discuss what is on the other side of living in fight or flight. to tap into our natural mode of being. in a state of connection to the self and spirit. to be fully present and at peace and to allow creative flow. to let our minds be a tool to help us instead of hurting us.

this episode is a bit different because we are going in with no notes, just the dome.

[ ep 6 ] I used to write “good job” lists to myself when I was in a dark period of my life…getting out of bed, making a healthy meal, helping another person even when I was unsure I had enough energy for myself, having a moment of positivity even when it was difficult, and so on. I don’t do them nearly as often and find that I’ve been overlooking the small things I do everyday. for one, acknowledging the small makes you aware of how far you have come…doing things without hesitation when they would have taken a great deal of effort before. we also can be focused on lack – the disappointment for not getting to the things we “should have” that day. give yourself the credit and acknowledge all that you do in a day, yes the more obvious, but reflect on even the small!!! we will find that we are doing much more than we think whether it be in our internal or external world.

we can be so focused on progressing to a greater version of ourselves or our lives that we lose perspective. appreciate how far you have come and the blessing of being where you are right now. comparison to a more ideal life or self deters us from seeing how good we actually have it.
