The Brain Scrub

Monkey mind

My guest today has done work with multinational organizations in helping build stronger leaders, teams and systems that support them. Dana is not only a dear friend, she is the Owner/Principal of www.danasimpsonconsulting.com. In this episode we chat about the importance of gracious curiosity, overcoming generalization and treating people as people, not our judgements.

Relationship building by addressing the breakdown

First of all - I am looking for guests who would like to chat about their mental health experiences and what they have done differently to better manage their health. Email me at gsollors@gmail.com if you want to share your story and words of wisdom.This episode is a celebration of brotherly love. A seed of renewed connection was planted today with my brother.

Emotional connection

In school, we learn science, history, math, languages and more. These are all great but they don't tap into the core of our existence and the associated behaviors and impact on our communication - Emotions. In this episode I talk about accessing our emotions and how that leads to a more empowering life.

Loving me, Loving you....

Black holes have so much gravity that they suck in everything around it. Do you love yourself so much that you have the same effect on others? In this episode I talk about the power of love and how without it, life may not feel as enjoyable. At the song says, "We're here for a good time, not a long time."

Detachment

After about 7 years of being alienated from my son and 6 years of not seeing him, I have achieved emotional peace. How? It was not an easy journey and what I learned that if I pursue him, I become more attached to suffering and a lack of peace. By stopping the pursuit of what I wanted and believe is the right thing to do, my emotions were able to disconnect, including the associated stress. Time heals everything.

Death and family connections - Burying the problem

Too often a funeral is more like a reunification ceremony where the dearly departed makes way for relationship building. The recent funeral for my dear Aunt and Uncle who were loved by most, is a good reminder of the importance of family relations.

Worrying about sleep

There is much to worry about at times. What is a worry? A worry is actually a made up event to something that may or may not happen in the future. If worries are keeping you up at night - what story is keeping your stress response up all night?

Self-Awareness -Knowledge is power

I hear sometimes from others, "Glen, you analyze too much." Yes, I do at times and yes, I am now authentic and freer to live a powerful and inspiring life. I am not held back by my programs...(Some of them were faulty).

Power of beliefs

I finally finished a highly recommended book by Mark Wolynn: 'It didn't start with you.' One of the most powerful books I have ever read and in this episode I share why and how our family history, like anything else, repeats itself. We do have a choic in the matter of things.

Anger Management Part 2

In part 2, we will start at the bottom of the emotional mountain and work our way up to the summit. Mindset is almost everything and what we think, we create. Much of the content in this episode is based on the book: 'Master your Emotions: A practical guide to overcome negativity and better manage your feelings.'
Anger = Action
