HTL050: The List of Positive Aspects – A tool to help improve your perspective, with Dr. Laura Jaget

Podcast
We have all encountered situations, events, or people that for whatever reason triggered a negative emotion or reaction within us. Sometimes, we are able to brush it off relatively quickly and carry on and then later on, when we think about the encounter, it seems so far away and we don’t even care. And that is awesome. If only every bump in the road we encounter could be like that. But, sometimes it is not. When its something that is truly personal, shocking, traumatic, and/or touches a deep nerve within us, we have the tendency to replay it over and over in our mind.  A lot of people just aren’t aware of their thoughts. Or they aren’t aware that it is their thoughts that are creating and perpetuating this negative…

HTL 049: The Struggle Is Real, with Justin Peters

Podcast
  The topic today is to validate your probable impression of adulthood which is  "the struggle is real". It is so real.  But not to worry.

HTL 047: Just Breathe – How to use Yoga to decrease stress and clear your mind, with Deputy Chief Sasha Larkin, LVMPD

Podcast
Today’s topic is about how to decrease stress and how to consciously take that pause before you react to something emotionally or physically. This is such an important life skill to learn for all ages and a great way to do this is through yoga.  Yoga is not all about getting your body into contortions.

Speaking on this topic is my guest today Deputy Chief Sasha Larkin of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.  Sasha is a remarkable woman; a wife, a mother, and when this interview was recorded, she was  Capt. Sasha Larkin but has since been promoted to Deputy Chief where…

HTL 045: You Are The Common Denominator – How personal accountability is the key to reclaiming your power

HTL 045: You Are The Common Denominator – How personal accountability is the key to reclaiming your power

Podcast
I want to talk about the subject of personal accountability. If you don’t know what that means, you will by the end of this show.  Let me start by asking you, when things go wrong in your life, what is your first thought? Bad luck? Why me? Blame something or someone else? If you do tend to react like this, you are not alone. I would say you are most likely in the majority because most people do this and not just in negative situations. Things show up, some good, some bad and they react to it. They react to the condition. They are happy when they like the condition or feel negative emotion when it is something they don’t like.  I call that living by default - just reacting…
