Music is absolutely huge and sometimes can be easily forgotten. Never underestimate what the power of music can do for us mentally. There are odd bits I like to throw in or discuss briefly which are much shorter and to the point so these can be the Shorts episodes.
The episode Shorts - The Power of Music! from the podcast Alive Not Just Breathing has a duration of

Shining Light on The Darkness
In response to my last episode where I talked about my struggles, I wanted to come back with the upside as I've begun coming past it it again. We can't always block out the dark things going on out there, but we can focus on love and the light in ourselves and spread that amongst others we connect with. THAT'S how we change the world, one person at a time, coming from love. It's impossible to feel fear and love at the same time, so choose where to put your focus and what to share in response. Also be gentle and patient with others, including those who may not share our beliefs or our message. Nobody ever grows or learns from closed minded conflict. Choose to respond, not react and choose wisely. We're all trying to muddle our way along, including those we may disagree with ❤️
Struggling Right Now. Can We Change This in 2023?
This started out as a simple voice note about my current mental drain struggle but the subjects of why are important. Is the constant left vs right political debate just one big theatrical game? And why is it generally that we can no longer have a healthy debate out there or online without resorting to abuse, mindless arguing and cancelling people?! How do you overcome the constant fear and anxiety spread from the mainstream media and those in power? Do I take that side of society out of the equation altogether on my content and simply focus on general wellbeing? Sometimes it can be hard to separate it seeing as society isn't built for us to be happy and thriving. This episode is a lot of general thoughts and emotion but the points I make and things I'm struggling with are important to hear and think about.
How Do We Define Success?
This is almost like a part 2 for the previous episode. How do YOU define success for yourself? Personally I've learned to think about that in much more depth as I've gotten older. I now have been able to rethink what success in life is to me which then enables me to much easier feel it and flow with it rather than always seeing it as some future event. Another episode which was part of the late night sessions.
Damn, That Grass Sure Looks Green!
It's very easy to compare our lives to those we deem as successful in various ways and feel inferior. One thing I've learned to do from my own issues is to remind myself that other people's success hasn't often come without other sacrifices. Sometimes those sacrifices may be ones that we really wouldn't feel able or like to make. The human mind often sees the grass as greener elsewhere but it's important to break down if that's actually fully true when it comes to what we potentially define as success and achievements. This is also part of the late night sessions!
Toxic Hustle Mentality
Part of what I'll call the late night sessions seeing as I recorded a batch when unable to sleep! I find there can be a heavy pushing of hustle mentality these days which when overdone can be very toxic and damaging. As much as there are elements of good in some content, I think this constant mega push on hustling so much over healthy rest, sleep and balancing certain mental and emotional needs in life needs to be much more kept in check in order to stop it from creating new health issues.
