Tough Pills

A Reason For Being (Ikigai Pt. 3)

In this episode, we dive deep into this one diagram I found on google images. It's not just proof that I can keep myself entertained with any sort of mental round of golf, it's a full understanding of every combination of 4 different reasons to participating in an activity that-- 1. You love 2. You are good at 3. You can get paid for 4. What the world needs Any combination of these results in a different category of drive--and only if you can combine all 4 do you achieve Ikigai. I guess I kinda summed up the whole episode so you don't really need to listen to it anymore. But, there is a really good chunk of introspection that I hope you like toward the end, fit to send me off to a little break.

What is your Idol? (Ikigai Pt. 2)

Money, Power, Pleasure, Fame. All of us can narrow our subconscious desires into wanting one of these deep down. It's okay to know this about ourselves. I'd rather us accept our desires than pretend they aren't there. When chasing what it is we want, be conscious about where we're headed if we're not careful. Let's be honest about things today.

What is your Agenda? (Ikigai Pt. 1)

Everyone has an agenda. I go over in this episode the 3 different groups of acknowledgment of that agenda, and how you might change which one you're in. This is the first of a three part season 1 finale, before I take a little break.

Victim Mentality

In this episode I talk about some darker feelings, but I would rather you not feel alone than pretend that I've never hit that rock bottom before. I also go into a somewhat shoddy explanation of how to overcome test anxiety that I will explore again at a later date, maybe when I feel better equipped to talk about how anxiety has affected me as a whole. We're getting into the meat of things now. Also, still no video uploading. Maybe soon. But I did learn how to put my own chapters in, so the auto generated bullshit chapters can stop making me look like a total kiss ass

100 Days Sober

It's time to talk about alcohol.
