[S6][E16] YOU determine your Destiny

The mind is like hardware and your thoughts are like the software. Corrupt software will cause viruses which cause us live life that is full of mental anguish.

As you endure and experience.. remember who you are.. what you stand for.. and why you are fighting. You wonā€™t always be in control of your thoughts, yet itā€™s imperative that theyā€™re not in control of you!

[S6][E6] Do Actions speak louder than Words?

Thank you for tuning into another episode of the Hood Therapy podcast.Ā 

In this episode I have a mini vent session concerning whether actions speak louder than words. When youā€™re in a situation and words/actions arenā€™t lining up how do you go about it? While words can add to the essence of communication, I donā€™t believe theyā€™re the only way to do so.

[S6][E5] The War between Spiritual & Physical

[S6][E5] The War between Spiritual & Physical

Yooo! Thank you for tuning into another episode of Hood Therapy.Ā 

When you think of the physical and spiritual, which attracts you more and why?Ā 

Personally, itā€™s the spirit that speaks to me, sometimes better than the mind or mouth can. Understanding your spirit means you understand who you are and what your purpose is.Ā It also gives you the ability to test the mind and spirit of others to determine who is for you and who isnā€™t! It should cost millions but we get it for freešŸ¤‘.

Tap into it!

[S6][E4] The benefits of Knowing Thyself

To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom. Socrates

Man has to look at himself. Man know thyself; then thou shalt know the Universe and God. Pythagoras Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Carl JungĀ 

My friend...care for your psyche...know thyself, for once we know ourselves, we may learn how to care for ourselves. Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā SocratesĀ 

To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man. Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā William ShakespeareĀ

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Nelson MandelaĀ

[Ep. 14] Do thoughts reflect/determine reality?

Yooooo! Thank you for tuning into the Hood Therapy podcast.

In this episode, I talk about believing in Ā you.

Question? Do our thoughts/actions reflect or define our reality? The mind is like a computer and your thoughts are like the software. Faulty software will have us subconsciously holding onto these quiet viruses which cause us to consciously live a life foreign to us.

Ā As these influences bombard you, remember who you are.. what you stand for.. and why you are fighting. You wonā€™t always be in control of your thoughts, yet itā€™s imperative that theyā€™re not in control of you!

Welcome back! Thank you for tuning into the Hood Therapy podcast.

In this episode, I talk about believing in you.

Question? How has your perception of yourself changed from societal or family standards? How has this caused you to think about your life different? Subconsciously we hold onto these quiet influences which cause us to consciously live a life foreign to us. As these influences bombard you, remember who you are.. what you stand for.. and why you are fighting.

Yooo! Thank you for tuning into the Hood Therapy podcast.

In this episode, I talk about embracing the changes happening around you.Ā 

Question? How has your life changed in the last 6 months? How about the last year? There are hundreds of changes that happen around us daily. Some impact us heavily, others not at all.

Itā€™s easy to become agitated or overwhelmed by events happening around us but it may be some beauty in them. It takes a open mind to consider the benefits.. if you take a second to free your mental, how many can you count?

[Ep. 9] Healing Trauma

Thank you for tuning into the Hood Therapy podcast.

In this episode, I talk about healing trauma. Trauma is one of those things we canā€™t see, but we know it exists. You canā€™t touch it, but you can feel it. We might not always notice it, but it impacts every move we make! Itā€™s essential that we heal these unspoken experiences as they can dampen our growth. Whether itā€™s talking to a friend or a therapist, it is in our best interest to turn negative experiences into lessons for our youth and a positive outlook on life!
