Where Are You? Taking In The World

Where are you? We can so easily become disconnected to where we are physically from our bodies and from how we're feeling. There's value in taking in as much life as possible as a creative, it informs our art, but our sensitive bodies need grounding and attention too. We'll explore this topic and end with a sensory exercise for tuning into the here and now.

The Pursuit Of Happiness Vs. Surrender To Joy

If you have to chase something then it's fleeting. The pursuit of happiness is no different. Happiness and external power is only temporary. What's permanent, and not romanticized enough, is the joy we each contain. The path to joy is simple, but hard work as we surrender to our loving selves. In this episode we'll explore both happiness and joy though a cultural analysis of the 2006 film "The Pursuit of Happyness," starring Will Smith as Chris Gardener.

My Dopamine Detox

After a sluggish few days I suspected I could use a dopamine detox. Because social media and a lot of screen activities give us such quick dopamine hits, it can challenge our concentration toward slower reward activities (like reading, studying, building businesses or other pursuits). However, the slower reward activities tend to be the ones which can most positively impact us and the world. This is how my 24 hour dopamine detox went.

Truth is disruptive! Like pulling a thread on a garment, the more we acknowledge the more reveals itself.
