Welcome to Episode 87 of Insights, the podcast with Joe Pane.  In today's episode, we're going to dive deep into the ONE THING that has a profound impact on your potential, success, and overall quality of life. And let me tell you, this ONE THING is a game-changer. Over my 17 years of experience training over 7000 coaches, mentoring individuals, and delivering countless trainings, one truth has emerged: there are three ways to deal with uncertainty, but only one of them actually works. Many people try to go around it, thinking they can avoid it altogether. Others freeze in the face of uncertainty, getting caught in the wheels of procrastination. But here's the secret: successful people embrace uncertainty and journey through its tunnel. That's the only way to create real change and transform your life. Now, I know it's not easy. Embracing uncertainty requires making a decision—a decision to cut off from the past and commit to facing uncertainty head-on. The longer you wait or try to avoid it, the bigger and more overwhelming it becomes. Trust me, I've seen it time and time again. Avoiding or freezing in the face of uncertainty only leads to crises in various areas of your life—your health, finances, relationships, career, or business. But here's the exciting part: on the other side of that uncertainty tunnel lies the next-level version of you—the version capable of handling the next level of life. And it's not just about your own growth; it's about the impact you can make on others. As coaches, consultants, trainers, and leaders, our mission is to embrace uncertainty and transform the lives of those we serve. Because here's the truth: uncertainty is not a choice; it's a prerequisite for the sustenance and growth of humanity itself. So, if you're ready to transform your relationship with uncertainty and deepen your impact on the world even more, I invite you to join me for the "Uncertainty Mastery Bootcamp," a three-part free training series starting on June 29. Together, we'll navigate the uncertainties of life and uncover the next-level version of ourselves. Keep an eye out for the link—I promise you won't want to miss this opportunity to step into your true potential.

E87. Transform this, transform everything.

Join us as we explore the path from ambition to meaning in episode 86 of Insights. Many people find it difficult to achieve their goals in light of their demanding full-time jobs and family responsibilities. In the meaning-driven world, which includes emotional, spiritual, and bodily harmony, there is the possibility of deep happiness and extraordinary fulfilment. But how can we leave the world of ambition behind and follow a more rewarding path?  In this episode, we'll examine a potent answer put out by renowned author John Soforic of "The Wealthy Gardner." Get ready to learn about the idea of an impact hour—a focused effort directed at a single activity that has a significant impact. We may liberate ourselves from pointless behaviours by committing to at least five impact hours every week, allowing us to focus on the actions that really matter.  We have an inspirational story to share about a lawyer who toiled assiduously at a busy legal practise. He started writing a novel during his designated impact hours after hearing a moving testimony that moved him. Despite all odds, his draught finally evolved into the smash hit "A Time To Kill." With "The Firm," which was later made into a well-liked movie, this success opened the door for much more success. This amazing journey serves as a testament to the transforming potential of regular impact hours.  Are you eager to improve your chances of success and transform your life? Tune in to episode 86 to learn more about the impact hour and how it may help you get ahead in your personal, spiritual, and business pursuits. Don't miss on this chance to start on your own road to success and fulfilment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Download our Insights Magazine - go to www.JoePane.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Let's connect @joepaneinsights -  LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram @joepaneinsights Fb private group: Emotional Fitness Hub Email: joe@joepane.com.au

E85. Powerful Questions When In Crisis

In episode 84, I highlight the importance of the quality of our relationships and how it can amplify all of our experiences.  I share that courtesy, which is also referred to as significance, attention, kindness, and respect, is the golden ingredient that serves as the glue for all relationships. Small acts of kindness, such as thanking your partner for cooking dinner or giving them your full attention during morning greetings, can accumulate to form a beautiful connection between two people. I concluded that having core relationships filled with courtesy and care can help us handle life's uncertainties more efficiently. Thank you for tuning in!

E84. The Golden Ingredient That Can Instantly Transform Your Life.

So many people remained trapped prisoners of their mind. They may spend years living on someday isle. Someday I’ll start my own business, someday I’II relocate, some I’ll learn guitar, some I’ll get fit, someday I’ll commit… Have you noticed that life does not have a pause button. Time passes, regardless of whether we ever leave ‘someday I’II’ or not. Lots of people live their lives like they have another in the bank. Whilst there may be an array of reasons and explanations as to why most will never leave someday I’ll, one of those explanations is that we all have an unconscious addiction to certainty. There is nothing wrong with certainty, in fact it is a significant component of our psychological survival. The irony here is that we also need healthy doses of uncertainty. Growth is a perpetual need of the human spirit, and the precursor to all growth is uncertainty. Most people would rather stay on Someday Isle because they prefer the continual predictable (boring) nature of the known, even though it sinks their spirit over time, than exploring the possibilities of something new. If my “someday I’ll” ‘dream’ comes alive then doesn’t that change everything? Well…..yes it could! Yet so many would rather stay with the familiarity of any ordinary certainty than risk trying something new. Breaking out of ‘someday I’ll” starts with one decision. The problem is that most don’t know what or which decision to activate or say yes to. The simple solution to this is to say yes to any opportunity present right now in front of you. What happens is by saying yes and actioning that one opportunity, it creates a another opportunity. This second opportunity could not exist without the first! For example, when I was in my fourth year at uni (college), I was wondering (more like worried) about how I was to make the transition into the workforce in a job that was related to my qualifications. A doctor at Monash Uni where I was studying, was looking for researchers to help carry out some data collection for his thesis. This work wasn’t terribly exciting but nevertheless it was an opportunity. I applied for the position and myself and a handful of other researchers got the gig. I could have easily said to myself that this is not what I want to do and that I could do better ‘out there’. I certainly didn’t see myself as a researcher!! This job was only for a few months but it ended lasting 6 months. During these 6 months another opportunity arrived – an interview at Ford Motor Company as a rehab counsellor. My work as a researcher was what got me the interview!!! In a strange connected way my work into researching work related fatalities (looking and reading about death all day), got the attention of my future employer because the main decision maker (as I later discovered) had some kind of weird addiction to reading the obituaries from A-Z every day in the newspaper!!! He had a fascination with death….my research job, along with my qualifications was enough (just) to land the interview!!! I didn’t get the job first up because deservedly someone else (his name was Ken…I’ll tell u why that matters in a moment)...

E83. Most people never leave ‘Someday Isle’…. Will you?

It has been years since I have set ‘goals.’ The thought of setting another income goal, or health goal, or business goal I find draining, repetitive and boring. Goals are often confused with targets. Nothing wrong with targets if they help you focus, so go for it if it works for you. What if instead we did this ONE new thing? This ONE new thing beautifully fulfils one our most important needs: our need for growth. This is our perpetual need. Without growth we die. Nothing stays still for very long. Everything in the universe without exception is expanding or shrinking, breathing out or breathing in, green and growing or ripe and rotting. The precursor to growth is uncertainty. Uncertainty is presented to us in various forms. It can be experienced in an array of flavours and colours. It can be experienced by embracing (instead of resisting) challenges presented to us. It can be invited into our lives as a form of adventure, or for some of us in the form of variety and  the wide choices and experiences this brings. The richer our lives are in uncertainty, or challenge or adventure or variety the more we grow. The more we grow, the more we are fulfilled, the deeper the fulfilment the fuller we live. Life lived fuller does not mean faster, it means deeper. Now, what is the ONE THING which can massively impact 2023 and take us to places we don’t even know exist? (Sounds more exciting than a weight goal or a money goal….) Before we get to that, we need to embrace something important. We need to embrace courage. The courage to be loyal to our values, the courage to love, the courage to be vulnerable, the courage to live life deep, the courage to step into your truth, the courage to be you. Wow…this sounds like a lot! Well, it may seem that way but if we do this ONE THING we automatically take care of all these various expressions of courage. Here’s the ONE THING😊I warn you…do not allow the simplicity of what I am about to share to minimise this message in any way. THIS I know will make a big difference! What if in 2023 we embrace the courage to follow our intuitive hits, our hearts, and our emotional compass down NEW paths? That’s it! Follow the wisdom of your heart instead of the certainty seeking nature of our ego centric minds? What if we all just did this for one year!!! Follow the swirl of your souls instead of the mess of our minds. This WORKS! I know this because we did this ONE thing in 2021! Any opportunity which led down a new path we embraced. This ended up with our big move with our family to Noosa in the Sunshine Coast of Queensland Australia, from Melbourne 2000km down south where we lived all of our 50 years of life. This decision was based on a spirit / heart level. It most certainly was not a decision based on our linear logical minds. On a logical level it made no sense to leave everyone we know and everything we know to move to place we knew little about and had nobody we knew. We had no idea if it would work out! Turns out to be one of best decisions we have ever made! This then led to one of my most profoundly successful years I have ever had in my life, on all levels. The problem with goals is that we can only see from where we are at, whereas following our intuitive hits, our hearts down new paths brings us to a completely different vantage point which we could not see from where we are trying to set goals from. Imagine your 2010 version of you trying to set goals for you in 2023….it would place huge limits to what may have been possible in 2022. My 2021 version of me COULD not even begin to imagine what 2022 introduced our family to...

E82. This ONE THING can massively impact 2023.

Many people waste a lot of energy on aspects of life that is outside of their control. Life in general is outside our control. We have no control over what can happen from moment to moment let alone the journey over a lifetime. We can’t control how others will respond to us and in what manner. We can’t control our outcomes. Outcomes are unique echoes of our actions. Anything can happen. We have no control over all the automated functions of our body. We have no control over the weather, the economy, the markets, our teams, our children. We have no control as to how our business or career will go next year. We have no control over how long it will take to renovate that house. We have no control over most things! In fact almost everything in our lives is out of our hands. The ego though, holds on for dear life, trying to convince us that we are in control. However, there are 3 crucial choice points within which we have control. 1. Our character. In the midst of navigating our out of control lives, we have a choice and control over who we want to be and who we are on the way to becoming. For example, we can react angrily, or take a measured response. The choice is always ours. 2. Our actions are within our control. The results of our actions are out of our hands. Actions with no attachment to outcome can bring us a sense of peace. Anxiety tends to manifest when we are attached the an outcome and dissipates when that focus is shifted to only the action. What if in 2023 we were to give our actions all we’ve got, with a focus on who we want to be whilst taking those actions, without attachment to outcome? 3. How we treat others. The most important controllable we have. Patience, understanding, compassion, care and kindness are key parts of being a person who creates positive ripples effects out onto the world. What matters most here is how we treat someone when nobody is watching, and how we treat the waiter at the restaurant. If all we did was embrace the awareness of who we want to become, immerse completely in our actions with no attachment to outcome and we do our best to treat everyone we meet well, I dare say a lot of your new year will be taken care of in meaningful and fulfilling ways you can’t imagine.

The most important controllable we have. Patience, understanding, compassion, care and kindness are key parts of being a person who creates positive ripples effects out onto the world. What matters most here is how we treat someone when nobody is watching, and how we treat the waiter at the restaurant. If all we did was embrace the awareness of who we want to become, immerse completely in our actions with no attachment to outcome and we do our best to treat everyone we meet well, I dare say a lot of your new year will be taken care of in meaningful and fulfilling ways you can’t imagine.

E81. 3 Crucial Focus Points For 2023

To understand this we need to first look at the nature of emotions. Emotions are fluid. They move. They don’t stay still. Very much like the waves at the beach. There is a clue inside the word ‘emotion’ (e-motion). Motion, to motor along, or move along. Emotion is also an energy. We know that energy is ALWAYS moving. Because energy is ALWAYS moving, it is always transforming from one form to another. Energy never stays still. Like energy, emotions don’t stay still. They need to be released so they can be transformed into some other kind of energy. Sometimes these unexpressed emotions (energy) are released as anger or its direct opposite as uncontrollable laughter. Either way, this is a spontaneous combustion of energy being released all in one hit. Emotions are either expressed consciously or projected unconsciously. The more unexpressed (trying to keep the energy still) the emotion is, the more likely it will be projected onto someone else at some other point in time. Another way of putting it, is that emotions are either expressed or suppressed. When emotions are suppressed, they sink deep into the sea of consciousness. Which essentially means that these emotions become buried beneath the surface of awareness. If we continue to suppress emotions rather than expressing them, we build layers and layers of unconscious memory, which at some point needs to be released. If it's not released consciously, that is, in healthy resourceful ways it will find a way to release itself in the most inappropriate moments. The two combustive ways which suppressed emotion can be released, is via anger or intense out of control laughter.  For example, at the age of 10, I had my first experience of someone close to me dying. My grandmother had suddenly passed. This was the first time my parents were having to try to explain death to a 10 year old and my then 8 year old sister. They didn’t do a great job because it all was clouded with shrouds of secrecy or vague platitudes. I had no idea how to feel, or how to respond. It was the first time I had seen my mother cry. Didn’t see my father cry until decades later at the loss of his brother. So as a child these swirling confusing emotions had nowhere to go because there didn’t seem to be a person or place to talk about how I was feeling. What followed was an unconscious release! During the wake I was playing with my cousins and something just set me off into crazily intense fits of laughter like I have never experienced. I was blinded by my stream of tears….from my laughter!!! I remember feeling strange that we were laughing together so hard and at the same time feeling strange that this was happening at my grandmother’s funeral! On the other hand, I have also experienced the opposite of this, namely anger. It had been months and months into our renovation journey, as our new home was being created before us. My wife Silvana was not a fan of embarking on this journey, but at the same time could see the significant benefits. She had expressed to me at the beginning of this journey that, she could not handle multiple simultaneous chunks of uncertainty. This meant that she could only handle one piece of news or development at the one time when it came to the house. As you may appreciate, the renovation journey is indeed an emotional rollercoaster, and on some days, there were multiple decisions to be made. There was also the emotional component, especially when the money surprises kept coming, and suddenly our budget gets blown out of the water!  ...

E80. Do you ever get angry and don’t know why? Here’s why.

Episode 79 of Insights is about creating self trust and self respect. Emotional fitness is about becoming a professional giver of significance. This matters because most people have very little self respect. Self respect can be one of the most powerful and important gifts we can give ourselves. This is because self-respect provides us with clarity of boundaries, clarity of priorities and clarity of where we stand in our relationships. Respect may also be known as significance. By embracing the notion of being a giver of significance we lay down the psychological pathway for someone to begin respecting themselves. Naturally self-respect can be defined in many ways, in this instance it is defined as valuing oneself as much as you may value anybody else you have respect for. Self-respect matters immensely because it is a precursor to self-love. It is very difficult to be emotionally fit and well if we lack both these qualities. The next question may well be…”how do I discover, create and embrace self respect?” A great question and a very important one. 1. Becoming a professional giver of significance is most definitely one of the paths to self respect. We need to bring into the world what we would like to see in the world and in ourselves. Being a giver of significance means we, in almost all instances give respect to others. For example, allowing people in front of you in traffic or in a supermarket isle. It is uncanny how the more we take care of those around us the more our world takes care of us. Being a giver of significance also means that when you are chatting with someone you know very well, at work or at play, that you remember what matters to them and what little joys you may be able to bring into their lives. For example, remembering how they have their coffee or juice etc.  When it comes to people we deeply care for and love, whether that be a partner, a son, daughter best friend etc we can be givers of significance by being completely present when they are speaking with us. By being completely present we make them feel significant and thus respected.  ...

E79. How To Create Self Trust and Self Respect.

In Episode 78 of Insights I am going to ask you to not agree with what I am about to share. I do not want you to agree either. I would love for you to just allow this idea to simmer somewhere in the middle. All good? So here we go... Our thoughts do not belong to us. Our thoughts are not ours. We do not create them. Our thoughts are no more ours than the song belongs to the radio or the iphone which plays the song. The iphone radio is a channel. The iphone brings to life in our physical worlds something that previously was invisible and beyond everyday perception. In fact the song exists independently of the iphone/radio. The radio does not create the music, it doesn’t own it, it simply operates as an apparatus or channel or an instrument which the frequency of the sound comes into our awareness. The radio has no opinion on what the music sounds like. It just simply brings into physical awareness what is focused on by the dial. Just yesterday (as of the time of this writing/podcast), I had the internet connected to our newly renovated home. In order to test it I brought my laptop over to our new home (it wasn’t ready to be moved into yet). I plugged our modem in, connected my laptop and wa la! I had access to the invisible via my laptop. My laptop did not create the youtube video I watched, it simply channeled it. To watch the youtube channel Iwould need to know how to navigate my laptop and the links I was clicking on, but the youtube video exists independent of my laptop and my ability to navigate to the video. Could it be that our bodies are channels of thought streams which fly past us everyday? Just like the radio/internet waves, there are 100s if not 1000s of thought streams available to us. Where ever we place our attention, brings this thought stream to life. These thought streams can also be known as streams of consciousness. It has been proven in consciousness research that consciousness exists independently of our bodies, of our ego personality. Our bodies act as complex channels of streams of consciousness. What we refer to as ‘we’ or ‘I’, operates as a radio which makes the soundwaves become expressed as music. Well, if all this was to be true, how is this useful to us? Great question! One of the most difficult things about life for many people, is taking the mental action of letting go. The ability to let go is crucial to our emotional fitness. Everything in our lives right now, at some point, we will need to let go of. There is zero exception to this. The other crucial element to our emotional fitness, is... ...

E78. Emotional Fitness – The Quality of Our Relationship To Our Thoughts.

This podcast is dedicated to those of us on a journey from ambition to meaning. I share with you the experiences of 1000's of people I have had the honor of coaching, training and leading over the last decade and a half, who have each embarked on this journey. This podcast is about redefining success. Ultimately, success is about the value we have been to someone else. This kind of success flavors our ultimate legacy, which is the contribution we have made to the live's of others. Thank you and I look forward to sharing all I can about this beautiful journey.

Decades of research into psychedelics, dating back as far as the 1950’s reveals that in most instances the experience of taking a psychedelic of some kind, significantly expands our perspective. By expanding one’s purview on life, broadening our perspective, and seeing through the stories we tell ourselves, our perception of what has happened in our lives can change very quickly. Psychedelic means ‘mind or soul revealing.’ A neuropsychopharmacologist, called Professor Robin Carhart-Harris says, “A lot of mental illness appear to be a kind of defensive reaction to uncertainty. To give oneself a kind of assuredness in the world. Even if it means developing an eating disorder which gives us control over something.” Personally, I find this astoundingly crucial to realise!! Th starkest of contrasts is if we are trying to unlock a padlock without the key seems nigh impossible, but if we have the key, it becomes the simplest task on earth to perform. Naturally human behaviour is much more complex, HOWEVER based on my experience of living and helping people, when you have an accurate focus point in your life, where you can work on something that can make a massive difference in your life, this becomes very exciting. Pareto, the Italian economist, discovered a pattern in how numbers work by discovering the 80/20 rule. For example, we will spend 80% of our time in 20% of the house, or we may wear 20% of our clothes 80% percent of the time. Whilst this is not perhaps exact, the overarching nature of this pattern is accurate. If we spent 10% - 20% (this is just a guide) of our energy on improving the ONE relationship that matters the MOST! This is our relationship with uncertainty. This would serve us on many levels. Here are 3 of the most important reasons: 1. Significantly reduces our vulnerability to a mental illness (most likely on the form of anxiety and depression) 2. Boosts our emotional fitness, which means we can tolerate discomfort for longer periods of time, meaning we can better navigate difficult situations. 3. Growth is a perpetual need of EVERYTHING in the universe. We can only grow in the presence of uncertainty. The irony is that without uncertainty we would die!!! Uncertainty can be expressed and experienced in our lives in many ways. Three very important ways it can be consciously introduced is 1. Variety 2. Challenge 3. Adventure. If we don’t consciously invite uncertainty into our lives, life will. If we don’t squeeze life, it will squeeze us. Remember, everything in the universe is deigned to grow. We need varying forms of uncertainty to grow. Most of us have been conditioned to be afraid of uncertainty, however it may not be that scary after all if we see it expressed as variety, challenge and adventure. Here are three different levels we can invite uncertainty in healthy ways: Easiest level...

E77. The SINGLE Most Important Relationship In Your Life (NOT what you may think…)

According to one of my favourite spiritual teachers, Caroline Myss, we are shifting from physical five sensory consciousness to an energy consciousness. Both of these levels of consciousness operate with completely different laws! It’s like the land works in very different ways to the sea. You will never find fish in the forest and you will never see sheep in the sea. In essence, what we are talking about is chronos time and Kairos time. Chronos is linear and has a horizontal axis, whereas Kairos operates vertically and operates independent of time. The experience of chronos time is effected by our perception of our past and what we think of the future. Kairos time is completely unaffected by the past and of any perception of the future. Chronos is quantity, Kairos is quality. Chronos is the known, Kairos is the unknown. One of many ways of accessing Kairos consciousness is by letting go of any rigid, tightly held beliefs we may have of something. By surrendering this we open a gateway to a possible Kairos moment. This is a moment of clarity, a moment of being lit up (blinding flash of the obvious). We ‘light up’ when inspired by these intuitive hit moments. Chronos consciousness lives in our heads and prone to logic. Kairos time exists in the heart and is prone to intuitive hits. It is our choice whether we express those intuitive hits or remain tied to our logical mind. So what does this mean? For example, walking down the street Kairos consciousness tells us to cross the street right now, based on no physical logical evidence as to why. We can either act on that intituitive hit or we can override that delicate micro moment with logic and justify to ourselves why that doesn’t make sense. When driving, have you ever predicted that car is about to turn a certain way and then low and behold it does! It’s like we can read car body language. This is Kairos. The vertical Kairos moments are fleeting and once that micro moment passes we are back in the linear logical land of chronos. According to the Webster dictionary, Kairos means ‘a time when conditions are right for the accomplishment of a crucial action. An opportune and decisive moment.” When in the moment of now where we respond naturally, organically to a conversation, or smile from a stranger, or a precise opportune moment to say something kind to someone which may change their lives. In chronos land we are all different because all our perceptions of a moment vary so much. Whereas we all experience Kairos the same way. In Kairos we are genuinely all one. Kairos has zero narrative and is not effected by our historical experiences. Chronos consciousness is completely flavoured by our interpretation of our historical narrative and whatever fears, concerns or excitements we may hold about our future. Currently we live in between these two gears of consciousness. These two gears of consciousness are looking to integrate. So, what does this have to do with psychic weight? What is psychic weight?...

In chronos land we are all different because all our perceptions of a moment vary so much. Whereas we all experience Kairos the same way. In Kairos we are genuinely all one. Kairos has zero narrative and is not effected by our historical experiences. Chronos consciousness is completely flavoured by our interpretation of our historical narrative and whatever fears, concerns or excitements we may hold about our future. Currently we live in between these two gears of consciousness. These two gears of consciousness are looking to integrate. So, what does this have to do with psychic weight? What is psychic weight?...

E76. Why we must let go of any psychic weight (and how to do it!)

We are born with a unique blueprint. It comes with no manual or guide. Most people live out their lives not knowing, or understanding or even gaining full clarity of their blueprint. This is one of the reasons people find themselves stuck in one way or another. This stuckness lacks movement and we know by observing nature that anything that doesn’t move begins to die. When we are stuck, whether that be in procrastination, or on the wheels of self - sabotage, lacking meaningful progress, we are vulnerable to anxieties and depressive moods. The way out of this emotional energetic quagmire is by learning how our blueprint functions and what is needed for it to operate effortlessly, efficiently and beautifully. Not knowing our blueprint is like buying mini minor and taking it on a brutal 4 wheel driving track. It seems like a ludicrous analogy but this is exactly what most people do in their lives. Because of this they cling to what they have known, often way past its used by date. Not knowing who you are makes you extremely vulnerable to external forces like main stream media, other people’s opinions, and your history or story. Socrates was apparently known for having said that “an unexamined life is not worth living.” My personal take on Socrates words is that a life ruled by external forces is not worth living. A life where we fail to look within we will go without (thank you Neale Donald Walsh). When we know who we truly are and what we are about all (non clinical) anxieties and depressive moods instantly evaporate. We are no longer emotionally influenced by what is reported by the media, other people’s opinions and most importantly our historical narrative (who we think we are based on what we have been told as kids, teenagers and even as young adults) no longer defines us. In fact when we accurately know and embrace the blueprint we are born with we can begin to take everything in life so lightly. Instead of monumental situations shaking us up, we utilise life’s guaranteed uncertainties to observe, know and embrace our blueprint even more. Our blueprint is designed to handle anything life throws at us. The other crucial chunk of awareness we need to have is that our blueprint evolves or is continually changing….automatically. My wife Silvana and I and been married (at the time of this writing, 2022) for 25 years. We have often said that we are no longer married to the person we married back in 1996. That man and woman ceased to exist a long time ago. So we need to keep up with who we are becoming. The ultimate transformational journey therefor is the journey of self discovery. The answers will not be found ‘out there’. They will be found ‘in here’. This is great Joe, but how? How do we do this? Based on my work over the last 16 years, with thousands of people in group workshops and in private consultation, I have distilled this to 5 core focus points in our lives. Master these and you master your life. Embrace these 5 principles in your life and any non clinical anxiety or depression can be significantly reduced or eliminated. Here they are: 1. Identity 2. Life Stages 3. Values 4. Emotional Flexibility 5. Perspective Hope this helps, there is so much more to this.

E75. The Ultimate Transformational Journey – The Only Journey Worth Committing To.

Most people on the planet can, with great clarity tell you what they don’t want. However, if we asked the same people what they do want, in most cases we would be met with blank stares, a vague response or most certainly would lack the same level of crystalline clarity. Mostly, this is because what we don’t want, we have already had, and we either hated it, or we are bored of it, or a blend of both. Lots of people also remain stuck in what they don’t want. This is because of a secret addiction, an addiction to certainty. This addiction comes in many disguises. “Better the devil you know…..” is the most common disguise. Most people would rather stay in that ordinary, relationship or job, which lacks love or any kind of joy because it its known. For most the unknown, is scarier than the known. Ironically, the opposite is true. Given that growth is a perpetual need of the human condition, all growth is in the unknown. Staying in the known us scarier because the inevitable destination is some kind of depression.  Hence, living a beige ordinary extremely predictable existence, is scarier than trying something new. The psychology of living with  what I don’t want is completely different from the psychology of what I do want. When trying to apply the thinking that gives the clarity of what we don’t want to what we do want we will all be mostly faced with a vague, blank or no where as near level of clarity. This addiction to certainty leads many people to expend more energy and time moving away from what they don’t want. They make what is known as moving away decisions instead of moving toward decisions. What is the difference? ...

E74. How To Create The Clarity For What You Don’t Know You Want.

In life, we only have one thing that we can hold onto in order to experience anything. That one thing is our perception. No human alive has direct access to reality itself (unless you are a mystic…in that case you wouldn’t be reading this!). We only have access to our perception of reality. Our perception is our interpretation of what we are seeing, hearing and feeling. If this is so, how do we let go of the reign of perception? If we could, what would we have left? Do we want to let go of its reign? Why would we wan to let go of the reign of perception?  This all depends on how important it is for you to be or become emotionally fit. This also depends on how much you value peace and stillness. Being emotionally fit, means we can effectively navigate life’s guaranteed uncertainties. It doesn’t reduce how uncomfortable uncertainty can be, but it improves our capacity to see clearer and make wiser decisions. The 3 layers of perception are: 1.Imagined truth. This is the most superficial layer of truth that exists. At this layer the commentary in our heads is turned right up, so is the drama, the story, and the complete fabrication of interpretation of what is going on. For example, a friend does not respond to a text. We fabricate a story of how this friend doesn’t really care for us, this friend has a history of doing this, ‘I remember when….’, this leads to some kind of contempt and disregard for this friend and so on. Completely fabricated. We are living a psychological hell completely detached from reality itself at this level. 2.Assumed truth. At this level we are still fabricating, and still dramatizing but nowhere near as much. The commentary and babble have reduced. If our friend has not responded to our text message, we may just simply say to ourselves, “my friend is really busy.” I can relate….and we let it go. There is no further interpretation. At this level of truth, compassionate understanding is introduced. For example, I may remember a time when I didn’t respond to a text message, not because I didn’t want to but because I read it in the middle of doing something else. In my mind I have responded, but in all reality I forgot to respond. By connecting a reversing of roles, it opens the door to a more compassionate appreciation of perhaps why my friend has not responded. 3. Actual truth. This level has no commentary, no story and no drama. It is a simple statement of fact. “My friend has not responded to my text.” That is all. No further interpretation or fantasy. At this level of perception, we can experience a sense of peace and stillness which ironically would make most people uncomfortable. Because we have no story and zero fabrication in our mind, the fact that our friend has not responded carries no psychic luggage into the rest of our day. There is then more energy available for what ever else we choose to focus on in our day.

E73. Letting Go of The Reign of Perception

As a collective we have all experienced living our lives the last two years in ways we could not have imagined. At the time living in Melbourne, Australia, I thought it unthinkable that the police and the army would literally walk our local streets to insure innocent citizens are abiding new mandate directives. Was unthinkable that a city like Melbourne, becoming completely desolate, and that if I went for a run more than 5km from my home, I could be fined for doing so. It was unthinkable, that we could be fined for having visitors over. Was unthinkable to feel fear and uncertainty about hugging my parents. It was unthinkable that I could deliver all my training sessions from a 15.4 inch laptop screen. Was unthinkable to be running a conference for 100s of people from the incredible comfort of my favourite room in my home. Was unthinkable that we could relocate our family from our home town of 50 years, leaving everything and everyone we know to go to a beautiful new world and have no idea if it would work out. Was unthinkable that our journey to our new life would include being kept inside a 30m2 hotel room for 14 days under strict 24/7 police guard. Was unthinkable that I could deliver workshops from that hotel under 24/7 police guard. It is unthinkable that a European war would break out starting ripple effects across the world which we have no idea, how far, wide and impactful this will be on our lives. It is unthinkable that innocent people in the Ukraine will die because of one ego maniac. It is unthinkable that there are people who agree with this ego maniac. The age of the unthinkable carries a vibe, a frequency a certain energy which aligns itself to a certain type of manifestation potential. We factually know that our world (the entire universe) is energy. Everything is energy. Energy is always moving and transforming its expression. The movement is referred to as vibration, the speed of the vibration is its frequency. Certain frequencies will resonate with only certain frequencies. These frequencies will produce a specific reality or experience. For example, if we tune into a radio station of our liking, we have tuned into its frequency producing the reality or experience of that music or conversation. If EVERYTHING is energy, then so are we and anything we wish to bring to our experience. For the first time in a very long time the frequency of the unthinkable is available to us. We are seeing in the world and intimately and directly everything is connected. The age of the unthinkable has a specific vibration and it can be used as a force for good. Just as so many events in our world have been unthinkable from a darker perspective, so can it be utilised as an instrument for the light. Ironically both light and dark ONLY exist because of its opposing expression. In other words, the light can only exist because the dark exists and vice versa. The age of the unthinkable may have had many terrible consequences for most of us in the last two years, but it is because of that, that we can begin using the power of the unthinkable for inspiring and incredibly positive consequences. We are living our dream (the light) because of the darkness. So here’s the thing. Given we have this incredible age of the unthinkable, how can you create or add something in your life which would make a world of difference to you and others? You can choose to activate the power of your imagination to access what may have once been unthinkable. Imagination coupled with consistent action makes the unthinkable come alive. Now is the time to turn up and wake up your commitment to purpose. This is a special time, take advantage of it or it will take advantage of you. Thank you for reading, love Joe.

E72. The Age of The Unthinkable.

Without the 3 graces it would be impossible to live. Our 3 graces provide psychological and spiritual oxygen to our very existence here on Earth. These 3 graces provide us with extremely powerful and influential focus points which bring meaning into our lives. The closest linguistic neighbor to the word grace is kindness. Personally, my intention is to bring these 3 graces everywhere I go with the greatest conscious effort no matter how easy or difficult it may be for this year and beyond. Grace number 1: Faith. At the core of our faith are our values and beliefs. It is our faith (values and beliefs) which provide us with the ability to create meaning in all of our experiences. We are continually creating meaning everywhere we go. From our interpretation of a stranger’s glance through to a life changing decision or experience we may be having. Faith means being loyal to our beliefs and values whilst at the same moment being open to new possibilities. The nature of our faith evolves over time. In other words, our values and beliefs are continually evolving. If humankind’s belief systems never changed we would have become extinct many centuries ago. It’s the same in our lives. If my relationship beliefs never changed from 1990, I most certainly would not have survived the first few years of my now 25 year marriage. Grace number 2: Hope. Our hope is our why. Without a why our how has no meaning. We all need a reason of some kind as to why we do anything. Even something as simple as mowing the lawn, it is the hope (looking forward to) enjoying those fine neat lines of green whilst enjoying a fine wine on the balcony!! Hope is having something to look forward to, on both a weekly and big picture basis. Without hope we are hopeless (pun is NOT intended)….this is accurate. We all need something to be working toward or looking forward to. Grace number 3: Love. Divine love. This is the essence of our attitude. It is the awareness that divine love (as against love projected from the ego with all its conditions, limitations and rules) is all there really is. It has been sung about, written about and talked about for centuries. Divine love is taking into account another person’s needs when we involve them in anything in our lives. Divine love is having an awareness of the impact we are making on other people by the way we are being with them. Practice, patience, kindness and courtesy. These will take us a long way down the track of divine love. Faith, Hope and Love…..3 powerful graces which give our lives meaning, purpose and depth. Thank you for reading, love Joe.

EP71. 2022 and The Three Graces.

Circle

That does not make sense! How can the words fantasised and truth go together? The core psychological construct which sits behind all ‘truth’ are our belief systems. Our belief system can be defined as a series of conditioned convenient assumptions. Let’s be clear about truth first. Naturally there are universal truths that are factually present all the time regardless of what we believe. Gravity will always exist, evil exists, darkness exists, kindness and compassion exist. The focus here in this conversation though is our interpretation of these truths and all the other perceptions of truths. It is our belief system which flavours and influences how we see truth. The circle of fantasised truth depends on which part of the elephant are you touching whilst blindfolded. If you have never seen a whole elephant and you are holding onto its tail, then that is what an elephant is to you. I recently have had a experience of this playing out in my life. We have our house on the market for sale. At the time of this writing, it is December 2021. Some people have been interested and some not yet. Why? Some say that it is because of Christmas that they must make a decision and wrap up the sale. Whilst under the same conditions, some say it is because of Christmas I won’t make a decision to buy yet. So which is it? Is Christmas the reason to buy or not to buy? It all depends on what you conveniently assume to be true (ie beliefs). Who is right? The house is the elephant and which side of Christmas you buy is which part of the elephant are you holding whilst blindfolded. We have all seen this playing out in an exceptionally amplified manner the last two years! This circle of fantasised truth most people are blind to. They are convinced the tail or the flappy ear of the elephant IS the elephant whilst being blinded to see the whole elephant. If there are any areas of your life which you are stuck on the wheel of procrastination or self sabotage, sitting at the core of that part of your life is the reason or excuse why you can’t OR it is the reason why you must stop procrastinating or sabotaging.  Blessings and best wishes,  love Joe.

E69. "Black Sword of Rage Has Pierced My Heart"

Our emotional fitness is measured by the quality of our relationship with uncertainty. The core ingredient of uncertainty is change. Change is not a change of direction, it IS the direction which all life moves! Our emotional health suffers when we resist the inevitable and continual change our lives offer us as experience. It is when we get stuck in our past, our historical narrative, or to a sentimental thing, that we drain away life’s energy away from what is happening right now (ie life!). Whilst there is nothing wrong with looking at our past, there is a problem if we stare at our past. Our past is gone, it no longer exists, let it go! We recently did a massive clean out as we are preparing a shift/move in lifestyle. Trapped in our cupboards for the last 20 years, have been my primary school uniform, my wife’s wedding gown, my Michael Jackson vinyl collection, my childhood teddy bears and on it goes. We got rid of it all. A friend said…but don’t you want to keep it for sentimental value? The sentimental value is in my heart and it is time to rid ourselves of the physical version of our past. It felt so cathartic getting rid of all those things, whether they were given away, sold or thrown out. We psychologically age fast when we spend more time in the past than we do actually living our lives. Life is now. It has no pause button. Live it, experience it and love it. Let go for God’s sake😊 Thanks for listening and trust this brings value to you or someone you know.
