8. Exercise Doesn’t Change You, It Reveals You: A New Thought from Tae Bo®️ Master Instructor Lucija

Join Tae Bo®️ Master Instructor Lucija and I as she breaks down her new thought: exercise doesn't change you, it reveals you. Inspired by her experience teaching Billy Blanks’s Tae Bo®️, Lucija believes that exercise is not about changing who we are, but revealing who we already are. Together, we explore how joyful movement reconnects us with our inner child. The confidence, freedom, and authenticity we naturally possessed as children never left us: we just have to remember to reconnect with our inner child more than we currently connect with any societal pressure or self-judgment we carry into adulthood. When I asked Lucija what idea she wanted to share, she said "We don’t exercise/move to become someone else, we move to recognize who we already are. Most people workout because they want to fix something (lose weight, get stronger, look better…). But what if that’s backwards? What if the movement isn’t about changing yourself, but about revealing yourself?" Thank you Lucija, for sharing you thoughts with me, and for helping certify me as a Tae Bo®️ instructor!

5. Acrogems: A New Thought from Robert

Join Robert and I as he breaks down his new thought - Acrogems - a concept that helps us empower ourselves through the WORDS (We Openly Reveal Divine Spirt) we choose to speak. When I asked Robert what idea he wanted to share, he told me "The idea I want to discuss is something I call Acrogems, it's based on the thought that words also contain hidden acronyms that further provide clarity to the meaning of the word like LOVE stands for Lasting Obvious Varying Emotions meaning some days the emotions you feel will vary but the lasting basis is I love you or TIME Taking In Momentary Events or Thriving In My Experiences which are by products of time itself. I really love words and want people to understand how powerful they are so they can be used more productively. Just the words "Let there be light" placed the sun in the sky words are amazing in my opinion." Thank you Robert, for sharing your light and wisdom with the world.

4. Finding Harmony Through Listening: A New Thought from Soundscape Artist Zac

What does it mean to connect with yourself, with others, and with the world around you? In this episode, Shelby sits down with musician, sound healer, and event curator Zac (aka Zenglish) to explore the power of connection, listening, and creative awareness. Through his work blending music, art, and wellness, Zac creates intentional, sober spaces where people can experience deeper authenticity, presence, and community. The conversation dives into two central ideas: * Connection as the foundation of life and creativity—and why it begins with the relationship you have with yourself * The art of listening—not just to others, but to your body, your thoughts, and the present moment Zac shares how cultivating stillness and reducing “noise” allows creativity to flow more naturally, with inspiration emerging in everyday moments—from nature to dreams to quiet reflection. Shelby expands on these ideas by sharing personal insight that arose during one of Zac’s immersive soundscape journeys. In a deeply relaxed state, she was able to examine fear from a new perspective—realizing that many anxieties aren’t tied to real-world threats (who, what, when, or where), but instead stem from internal “why”-based narratives shaped by the mind and ego. This episode offers an exploration of: * How intentional environments can unlock emotional and psychological insight * The difference between reactive fear and reflective fear * Why slowing down may be the key to clarity, creativity, and healing If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by constant noise, distraction, or overthinking, this conversation is an invitation to pause, listen, and reconnect—with yourself first. ---------------------------------------- Connect with Zac: Instagram: @zenglish9 Website: https://www.zentoriwellness.com/ [https://www.zentoriwellness.com/] YouTube: zenglish09 Follow NewThoughtDoc: Stay connected and join the conversation across platforms: * Instagram: @newthoughtdoc * TikTok: @NewThoughtDoc * Facebook: New Thought Doc [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585085616914&sk=reels_tab] * YouTube: New Thought Doc * X (Twitter): @NewThoughtDoc * Substack: NewThoughtDoc [https://substack.com/@newthoughtdoc] Bluesky: @newthoughtdoc.bsky.social [http://newthoughtdoc.bsky.social] Disclaimer: this podcast show notes was generated by AI and edited by me for the sake of convenience and time :)
