PodcastBy Josef ShapiroJune 29, 2018

In the last episode, we discussed the two orientations of change. You can either choose to stay who you are and change your behavior ? like eliminating your morning cup of coffee ? or you can choose to surrender to the process of changing, allowing it to teach you something about yourself ? like discovering…

107 – Surrendering to Change – Part 1 – Two Orientations of Change

PodcastBy Josef ShapiroJune 28, 2018

Today we look at addiction and change through the lens of a morning cup of coffee. We end up identifying with certain habits and routines related to our addictions, incorporating this assumption that it’s part of us. We say things like, “I’m a coffee person.”   And some of us also have this relationship with…

105 – How to Let Reality Win – Part 3 – Stress is a Thought

PodcastBy Josef ShapiroJune 26, 2018

In the last episode we discussed how, through our choices, we create our own empowerment ? this can be hard to realize, but it’s always true. However, this isn’t easy. It can require tremendous self-management to, in the briefest moment, overcome your negative thoughts and choose to do something, instead of reacting.   To continue…

103 – How to Let Reality Win – Part 1 – Interfacing with Progression

PodcastBy Josef ShapiroJune 24, 2018

There is no perfection in progress, and you’re never going to go anywhere trying to achieve it.   We like to tell ourselves the story that we aren’t doing enough, or haven’t gotten far enough. We like to focus on the one time we fail over the many times we take a small step forward.…

102 – Self Vs Other – Part 4 – Making the Smaller Self Smaller

PodcastBy Josef ShapiroJune 23, 2018
