BREATHE N BOUNCE

EPISODE CXX: LISTEN MORE TALK LESS

We all love to talk but not everyone loves to listen.  Maybe some people think they listen, but they may be waiting just to talk again and appear to be listening.  Today I focus on ways we can listen more consciously, and have a bigger effect on others.  This is to me too as I know I can improve too.

EPISODE CXIX: NO TIME NO EXCUSES

We all make excuses why we can't do things for ourselves or to be better, but what we don't realize is we don't have all the time in the world.  Our ticket can be punched out of nowhere and I guess maybe it doesn't matter because we're no longer in this world.  However we need to make the best of everything while we here.  

EPSIODE CXVIII: THE MOMENTS

We always should try not to find ourselves falling into a deep hole in life despite how difficult it can be.  We come out from the deep holes we create for ourselves and learn how to let the moments our life guide us to making new and wonderful ones moving forward.

EPISODE CXVII: THE DETOXIFICATION OF OUR CHILDREN

Our kids notice everything.  What we say and do, how we act and react.  Furthermore, they have a very difficult life to live right now.  So many outside influences and it isn't just those Eddie Haskells anymore. We dive in and explore this and figure out how can we provide a safe space for our kids, and hopefully find a way to believe in us.

EPISODE CXVI: BREAKING NEWS: INSTASNAPBOOK X TOK

It is not the longest episode ever, but may quite be the most controversial.  In wake of many events that have happened this past week, I explore the idiocy of tribalism and brainwashing.  I speak about how social media and cable network news has made us all crazy.  The unnecessary calling out crap that people do and I ask how can we be better and not allow the powers that be and all this other stuff make us lose our humanity.

EPISODE CXV: THE FALL AND THE RISE

This last month has been really tough for me, and I have had many mental health moments.  Depressing moments, panic attacks, and I crashed out yesterday.  I talk about how that felt and what I do to move forward and not be to hard on myself for it.

EPISODE CXIV: THE LABOR OF LIFE

Happy Labor Day.  Imagine a holiday to celebrate working.  Who comes up with this things?  Maybe we should evaluate our happiness and what we are doing with ourselves.  We want happiness love and acceptance.  How can we do these things?  We can start with ourselves and begin on this Labor Day
 

EPISODE CXIII: NEGATIVE POSITIVITY

This could me my edgiest episode to date.  Just trying to make someone feel better because it makes you uncomfortable is the title track of this jam.  I also discuss how therapists. doctors, and psychiatrists use toxic positivity to make you feel better, and then those who are "Christians" who talk to you about God and religion being the only way out, when they themselves don't have clean bedsheets.  You find positivity in yourself and ask if you need help and those will hopefully give you what you need  

EPISODE CXII: THE ANATOMY OF A VENDETTA

We all experience very fierce fights with family members, loved ones, friends, etc.  The trick is to understand that a disagreement should be just that,  There should be respect and love in every situation but tensions can boil and make it very hard to see it that way and make it personal.  I look at my own experiences in this piece, and talk about what I think will work as I am trying to apply it now.  I hope you have lots of love in your life, but remember it starts with you.
 

EPISODE CXI: THE WANTING AND THE PATIENCE

We want things, yes.  Nothing wrong with that.  However when we start putting ourselves in bad positions where we hurt others and ourselves to get them, it becomes a big problem.  Sometimes its best to just wait for somethings.  We don't want to do nothing.  However the universe may let us know through some signs that its not the right time.  We have to listen.  The reward could be much more fulfilling if we do.
