Perception Hack: See The World In A Whole New Light

Pre-Offended: How to Take Ownership of Your Emotions

This episode delves into the concept of being "pre-offended." We explore how past experiences, personal beliefs, and even trauma can contribute to a state of readiness to be offended. Rather than focusing on external factors as the primary cause of emotional responses, this episode emphasizes personal responsibility for our feelings and actions. By recognizing patterns of pre-offense, individuals can gain greater control over their emotional reactions and foster healthier relationships with others. We encourage listeners to examine their own lives for potential instances of pre-offense and to consider how shifting their perspective can lead to a more fulfilling and peaceful life.

Our Personal Button Boards: Why We React the Way We Do

This episode challenges the idea that people push our buttons and instead argues that we each have our own emotional button board. This button board is built throughout our lives from our experiences and values. When something triggers a button, it's because that experience or value has made us sensitive to that situation. By understanding our button board, we can take more control of our emotions and even remove some buttons altogether. Ask someone close to you what buttons you might have to gain a better understanding of your own emotional triggers.

Parenting Is Not About Parenting

In this episode we talk about 5 things that can help parents become better parents: 1 - You don't have to be an expert, we've been parenting for thousands of years. 2 - You owe everything to your children, they don't owe anything to you. It was your decision to bring them into the world. 3 - Check your emotions. 4 - Respect is earned. 5 - It is not your kid's job to heal you, though they can if you let them.

Perception Hack: See The World In A Whole New Light

As we grow and mature, so does the way we see the world. This is because as we learn and apply knowledge to our perception, our perception changes. We do not see the world in the same way now as we did as children, because of our experiences as we have moved through life. This episode dives into how we can attain multiple levels, or dimensions, or perception.

How We Blame Others For How We Feel

This episode dives into how the way we feel about ourselves, others, and life in general is largely due to us blaming others. We focus too heavily on changing others and not enough on ourselves. Focus on yourself, learn to change your perspective, and ultimately learn how to be at peace.  Links Shop Silver Pendants [https://yoursymbols.com/collections/the-petroglyph-acknowledgement-pendants]
