The Brain Scrub & Beyond Burnout

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

Anger management

Where do we learn how to manage our core emotions? We all have them and one that seems to be frowned upon is anger - yet, its natural and normal. In making anger wrong, we may actually be suppressing it which may have a far reaching negative impact on ourselves, loved ones, and the world. Join me on this anger journey and we well learn how to express it in healthy ways.

Dealing with my dark side/shadow self

If we didn't know the dark, we would never see the light. Our shadow-self is an important contributor to who we are - the good parts and those we may not claim to have...yet, we see it in others. In acknowledging and connecting with our shadow, we are better able to reduce anxiety, hatred, anger and resentment. Turn around, see that shadow.

Being and breathing

Ready to be with you? In this episode I will guide you through a meditation where you will have a chance to hear from something other than your mind - your body. What may it want to say to you?

Stop controlling

If I control, I am safe. This may be a tough pill to swallow. The tougher one is: If I control, others don't feel safe. Worrying leads to control and control leads to disempowerment of others and a feeling of "I can't win." In this episode, I chat about my control and what to do about it.
