![Getting over Guilt](https://d3t3ozftmdmh3i.cloudfront.net/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/1187922/1187922-1610030761876-dbfda0dcd206f.jpg)
Getting over Guilt
Guilt has an incredible way of popping up even when we’re barely doing anything "wrong" at all.
Most of us learn guilt throughout normal childhood development. Guilt alerts us when we’ve stepped outside of the boundaries of our core values. It makes us take responsibility when we’ve done something wrong and helps us to develop a greater sense of self-awareness.
The feeling of guilt forces us to examine how our behaviour affects others and make changes so that we don’t make the same mistake again.
However, there is a MASSIVE difference between “healthy” and “unhealthy” guilt.
How can we learn to deal with guilt — accepting it when it is appropriate and letting it go when it’s unnecessary?

How to get over Shame
Shame is among the most “use-less” of human emotions, with the power to convince us that that little voice in our head is right after all—you know, the one that says “You’re not good enough,” or “You’ll never really belong,” or “Who would actually love you?”
It’s not only an excruciatingly painful feeling, but also a universal one. Rich or poor, overweight or fit, successful or barely making eds meet, we all experience shame from time to time, whether we admit it or not (and we usually don’t).
Shame can force us to alienate ourselves and seek refuge in unhealthy manners such as or addiction, violence, aggression, depression, eating disorders and bullying.
Hence why it’s crucial that we learn ways to deal with it and to build healthy barriers against it.

How to deal with Blame
Life isn’t perfect.
Things go wrong, mistakes are made, accidents and unforeseen circumstances happen, and at times our hopes get shattered.
Through all of life's experiences and the challenges we each face; is your default reaction to find somebody or something else to blame?
A lot of things that happen to us are the result of multiple contributing factors, and can be caused by a mix of our own actions as well as those of other people.
Life is not a spectator sport and our interaction in it is what causes the experiences we have.
If you find yourself trying to pass the buck for every mistake you make, then it’s probably gotten you into trouble in the past…
…especially if you try to shift the blame onto your partner, family, best friends, or people you have to work closely with.
Life is all about making mistakes. Because it’s when we go through and moving past the mistakes that we learn how to do things right, isn't it?
If we never accept that we’ve made a mistake, how can we ever learn to do things better?
With that in mind, let’s have a think about some of the reasons why we can be tempted to blame others, followed by a look at how to kick the habit of shifting the blame for our problems.

Are you a lover or a slave?
With all the mass hypnosis in the world today and the constant onslaught of who’s “right” and who’s “wrong”, what we “should” and what we “shouldn’t”, what is “acceptable” and what is “not acceptable” ...
Who has stopped for a moment and wondered:
“Who was I before society told me who I should be?”
“Who do I WANT to be, without the division of race, ethnicity, religion or vaccination status?”
“What are my values, and where did I learn them?”

Getting lost in your goals
With so much focus on goal setting, achievement of those goals, desired outcomes and always pushing forward towards bigger and better things... Society has taught us that there is no such thing as “enough” and that we are to constantly seek more and more...
But where do we draw the line between ‘driven’ and ‘obsessed’; and where is the point where we are free enough to decide that happiness is a state of being and not an achievement?
In this episode of The Mindwalker Method ™ we look at how goals can become a stumbling block in their own regard and how to avoid the trap of getting lost in your goals.

How to prepare to achieve your desired outcome
Achieving your goals in life requires you to not only know where you are, know where you want to go and know what you need to get there…
But it also requires you to prepare for the journey towards your desired outcome and to know exactly where you are on the journey.
With this in mind, let’s look at what it takes to “prepare” ourselves in order to accomplish what we set out to achieve and also how to create a “roadmap” to keep us on track.

Surviving the eye of the storm
If you are in the eye of the storm, that means you're in the middle of it.
You have come to the centre and you are surrounded by chaos.
If you're just going to stay there, it will eat you alive, tear you apart and spit you out the other end distraught, destroyed, ruined and drained of all love and hope and passion.
But have you even stopped to think that if you are in the eye of the storm, the centre of the chaos… that you are already halfway through it?
That you have not only come a long way already, but you have grown stronger because of it, wiser thanks to it and despite your perception of "Poor Me", you have become a force to be reckoned with in your own regard.

Forward thinking is not forward acting
The “New Normal” as so many are calling it, with near post-apocalyptic emotions attached and the promise of a new world with a new way of doing things. It almost elicits the same emotions as an abusive husband who promises his estranged spouse that “this time things will be different” and “I have changed, I promise”.
Yet when we look back at history and the catastrophes that have befallen humankind, with the majority of these calamities being of our own making, have we truly entered a “New Normal” or is it merely the shock of yet another close-call that has jarred us from our behavioural and unconscious reverie?
So, before we delve into empty promises of “we solemnly swear”, let's look at a few behavioural facts that has brought us to our current global dilemma and what needs to change in order to minimalise any similar future scenarios that threaten to mimic our current assimilated experience.
The question we should all be asking is: "Is the 'new normal' a place of creation or is it a place of incarceration?"
The choice remains in all of our hands. Either we choose to take action and stand together, with an attitude of unity and camaraderie, or we risk being driven to extinction by the greed and ego of a human race who are blind to our own power and who chooses an attitude of negligence.
![The Importance of family](https://d3t3ozftmdmh3i.cloudfront.net/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/1187922/1187922-1711732292529-08572fff2badf.jpg)
The Importance of family
Technically, family is a matter of DNA... But nobody who says “I want a family,” means “I want a group of genetically similar people.”
They want an unbreakable bond of unconditional love and warmth. A soft place to go to when everything seems difficult.
And sometimes, getting those things means looking outside our genetic circles.
We don’t have to swear allegiance based solely on the blood running through our veins.
Sure, blood may be thicker than water, but water is equally necessary to sustain life.
For whatever the reason that we can’t be with our blood-bound families of origin, there’s so much to be said for choosing someone to stand in their place. Emphasis on “choosing”, because unlike actual family, we get to pick them:people who share similar views, people who understand, people who accept, people who forgive, people who love.
This “chosen family” is truly a gift from above and there’s a level of comfort and familiarity that you just don’t achieve with regular “acquaintances”.
These are the friendships and relationships that are next-level, and on a personal level... I’m here for them, because they’re here for me: the family I chose in the absence of my own.
Family is the best and most important gift in our lives, and it is important to embrace and appreciate it every day.
![How to change your mind](https://d3t3ozftmdmh3i.cloudfront.net/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/1187922/1187922-1711732292529-08572fff2badf.jpg)
How to change your mind
Our brains are truly amazing, aren’t they?
Have you ever watched one of those TV shows or Documentaries about someone who experienced an amazing, unexpected recovery after a traumatic brain injury, stroke, or other brain damage?
Some of those stories seem like the only explanation is pure magic or miraculous, instead of science.
Although it does seem inexplicable, scientists have been hard at work studying these cases over the last several decades, and have found the explanation behind the magic: Neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to adapt.
Our brains are truly extraordinary; unlike computers, which are built to certain specifications and receive software updates periodically, our brains can actually receive hardware updates in addition to software updates.
Different pathways form and fall dormant, are created and are discarded, according to our experiences.
And with "experiences" I mean the demands we put on our brains.
When we learn something new, we create new connections between our neurons. We literally rewire our brains to adapt to new circumstances.
And even though this happens automatically and unconsciously on a daily basis, it’s also something that we can encourage and stimulate by conscious choice.
![The difference between drive, ambition and motivation](https://d3t3ozftmdmh3i.cloudfront.net/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/1187922/1187922-1711732292529-08572fff2badf.jpg)
The difference between drive, ambition and motivation
Is ambition enough?
What’s the difference between drive, ambition and motivation; and why does it matter?
- What is it that “drives” us to do anything?
- Why do you work?
- Why do you eat your favourite food?
- Why do you start a business?
- Why do you buy a lottery ticket?
- Why are you in your current relationship?
The answers to these questions may seem self-evident, but in fact, they are actually quite complex, because they come from within the same complex organism, the same body, the same mind that has both the capabilities to create amazing things as well to destroy the very planet we all inhabit.
I had a mentor once who said that being “driven” is not a choice and therefore, genetically speaking it’s undesirable. He said that instead, we can choose to be “ambitious”.
Ambition works as a paradigm, a framework, a mindset in this world of striving.
It’s a combination of:
- Desire
- Thought
- Action (Behaviour)
It also takes an incredible amount of willpower, and the self-discipline of a celibate monk in the Playboy Mansion.
That doesn’t mean it’s not possible, but there is a reason the top 10% of society makes over a million or more annually, and the rest simply do not.

A Muggle’s guide to spellcrafting
How do we use our thoughts and what we say to cast a spell on ourselves and those people and things around us…?
Is there a science to it or is it a supernatural occurrence?
As we “give birth” to thoughts and we speak them into reality, is it possible to measure our thoughts and the impact our “spell casting” has on our reality…?
There is no ambiguity in our minds about our daily dealings in thoughts. It’s intuitive and we don’t need to explain it to anyone, or even to ourselves.
And yet if we do set about trying to describe a thought, it is profoundly difficult to do so.
So how do we go about casting spells and when we do, how do we control the results?

The benefits of being crazy
Success is not normal; it is unusual and in fact insane.
There is no such thing as “NORMAL”.
There is only “socially acceptable”.
Normal, hardworking people, very rarely become successful.
Normal people work very hard at their jobs to barely make ends meet.
They spend money they don’t have, to buy things they don’t need, to impress people they don’t even know or like.
In a world fascinated with and focused on conformity, mediocrity is seen as sanity.
People are, unfortunately, content living up to the status quo.
Being crazy is not just about thinking outside the box, it is creating the box that normal people will think inside of.
Here are ten benefits of being crazy…

How to overcome depression
Depression drains your energy, hope, motivation and drive, making it difficult to take steps that will help you feel better.
While overcoming depression isn’t necessarily “quick and easy”, it’s far from impossible and you have a lot more power and control than you realize.
The key is to start small, build momentum, keep the momentum going and take constant action towards where you want to be.
The challenge though is that merely “thinking your way out of depression” has proven to be a losing battle for most, because the exact actions that will get you out of depression are often times the most difficult to cultivate, especially when you are experiencing a deep sense of depression.
So let’s look at 6 tips that will get you out of the dark hole of depression and get you moving towards a state of joy and upliftment.

How to deal with anger
Anger is a normal, healthy emotion. But it’s unhealthy when it flares up all the time or spirals out of control. Chronic, explosive anger has serious consequences for your relationships, your health, and your state of mind. The good news is that getting anger under control is easier than you think. With insight about the real reasons for your anger and these anger management tools, you can learn to keep your temper from hijacking your life.
The emotion of anger is neither good nor bad. Like any emotion, it’s conveying a message, telling you that a situation is upsetting, or unjust, or threatening. If your kneejerk reaction to anger is to explode, however, that message never has a chance to be conveyed.
So, while it’s perfectly normal to feel angry when you’ve been mistreated or wronged, anger becomes problematic when you express it in a way that harms yourself or others.
If you have a hot temper, you may feel like it’s out of your hands and there’s little you can do to tame the beast.

![Why "Common Sense" is not so common](https://d3t3ozftmdmh3i.cloudfront.net/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/1187922/1187922-1711732292529-08572fff2badf.jpg)
Why "Common Sense" is not so common
People with common sense are seen as reasonable, down to earth, reliable, and practical.
But here's the catch. "Common sense" is neither common nor sense. There's not a whole lot of sound judgment going on these days (though whether it is worse than in the past, I can't be sure), either way, it's not common.
If common sense was common, then most people wouldn't make the kinds of decisions they do every day, right?
So let's look at why common sense is not really so common after all...

How to let go of the past
For many of us, we get stuck in the past because of our need for certainty.
Certainty is fundamentally about survival (looking at Maslow’s hierarchy of needs).
We all need to feel certain that we can avoid pain, and, ideally, find some form of comfort/pleasure.
Continuous pain means continuous damage, and that eventually leads to our demise. For almost all of us, it’s frightening to step into the unknown.
It’s difficult to be vulnerable, and it can be overwhelmingly uncomfortable to have that sense of uncertainty about what lies ahead.
So, what do we do…?
We hang on to the past – because even if it’s steeped in pain, discomfort and feelings of hurt, it’s what we are familiar with and what we have certainty about.
But what is this all costing us? How is it impacting our relationships, our lives and our happiness? And how do we learn to loosen our grip so we can move forward in a healthier, happier way?
Let's explore a few way of how to let go of the past.

![8 Unhealthy Habits That Affect Your Mental Health](https://d3t3ozftmdmh3i.cloudfront.net/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/1187922/1187922-1711732292529-08572fff2badf.jpg)
8 Unhealthy Habits That Affect Your Mental Health
Unhealthy mental health habits are behaviours that have a negative effect on the way we think and the way we feel about ourselves.
We often believe our mood and our mental health are solely dependent on external factors and that we have little ability to control them. We often wonder why we get so easily irritated, upset, sad, lethargic, and bored in life.
Then, as a solution, we try to improve our mood and cope with stress by engaging in unhealthy behaviours. And this, unfortunately, makes our mood even worse.
Yes, it’s true that our mood is affected by our brain chemistry.
But, remember one thing...
Our brain chemistry is largely affected by our behaviours and habits in life. If we treat ourselves with care and know what makes us happy, we are going to have a more balanced brain chemistry.
Here are a few common bad mental health habits that might be making you unhappy and unsatisfied with your life.

How to change limiting beliefs
What are false beliefs?
They are beliefs we have about ourselves or our experience (internal as well as external) that are untrue and limiting. They live in our unconscious and since 90 percent of our actions stem from our unconscious, our false beliefs play a huge role in nearly everything we do.
Also, since they live in our unconscious, we may not be aware of them and how they affect our daily lives.
For example, if you believe you are unlovable, you may sabotage relationships, hold on when you shouldn’t, or avoid getting into relationships altogether.
And then “logic” may provide you with explanations on why you are doing this when, at the core, it’s fuelled by your false belief that you are unlovable.
Our behaviour stems from our beliefs. And what our life looks like is a result of our collective behaviour.
So, if we change or dissolve our beliefs, especially our false beliefs, we can change our behaviour and ultimately change our life.
A belief is based on a perception, or one’s interpretation of the acquired knowledge.
So let's investigate how to change limiting beliefs.

What to do when you don’t know what to do with your life
Sometimes in life, we find ourselves at a dead end, a crossroads, a path that seems to go nowhere and often we find ourselves uttering these 9 oh-so-familiar words: “I don’t know what to do with my life…”
No matter what stage you are at in your life, if you are unhappy or unsure as to how to proceed, then there’s one major thing you need to do right now… And that is re-evaluate.
When I was in high school, I remember thinking that I had to pick a career at which I would be “happy and successful at” for the next 50 or so years of my life. I mean, come on! A 16-year-old needing to face such a daunting task. How are you supposed to know what’s going to make you happy for the rest of your life, when you’re only 16 and you’re still getting a thrill out of watching “The Matrix”?
You can’t know!
You can’t even know what’s going to make you happy five years from now. But you can know what makes you happy RIGHT now. And if you’re in a situation where your current position — or choice of educational path — isn’t it, then you need to move on.
If what you’re doing is not working for you, then do something else. And if you’re uncertain about WHAT exactly to do, then just go and DO RANDOM stuff that you think might be interesting and if you didn’t like the class or workshop or course or whatever, then cross that off your list. See, life is often about experiencing things and realizing what you don’twant.
So, what to do when you don’t know what to do with your life…?
I want to share 8 Things to Remember When You Don’t Know What to Do with Your Life…

How to bounce back after hitting rock bottom
So you've hit "Rock Bottom"...?
You've reached a point where you feel that nothing and no-one can dig you out of the perceived hell you find yourself in and you are imagining, or even worse, planning an exit strategy?
I get you! I was there as well a few years back. If there's one person who understands, it's me.
The thing is, nobody ever tells you how to deal with extreme failure in life.
I had no idea what to do, where to go, or who to talk to.
My family didn’t even know that I needed help.
All I knew was that nobody was coming to my rescue. Nobody could pull me out of this predicament.
I had to do it myself.
It wasn’t until I narrowly escaped death that I started to wake up from the fog and realized that I had to take back my life.
How did I do it?

How to overcome FOMO
The official definition of FOMO is:
“a feeling of anxiety or insecurity over the possibility of missing out on something, such as an event or an opportunity”
But I don’t need to tell you what the definition is, you have all experienced how it feels when your friends are on social media doing something and you aren’t. Missing out on all those jokes, adventures, parties, life events and plans.
Basically, the feeling of exclusion.
I’m sure we have all experienced the gnawing anxiety of FOMO as it ruins our once happy mood with envy, sadness and a sense of lack, right?
Comparison is the thief of joy and as we compare our lives to those on social media - even though we cannot be compared because our lives are so beautifully different - FOMO kills happiness.
So what can we do to overcome it?
Here are a few tips and techniques to get you started...

How to overcome fear
Lot of fear going around, uncertainty about what is to come, what actions to take, what NOT to do and where we will all ultimately move towards as a species.
Through all of these jumbled emotions, it’s helpful to keep in mind that at its base, only two emotions exist: Love and Fear…
ALL other emotions stem from these two core emotions.
- Anger, regret, blame, jealousy and the like… are all different spin-offs from fear.
- Kindness, compassion, peace, trust, Gratitude and appreciations are all examples of emotions that stem from a frequency of love.
Now normally I would focus on the love and go more in depth about how to increase and improve in that direction of thought…
BUT, we’re not currently in ‘normal’ circumstances, are we?
So here are a few tips, tools and techniques you can use to overcome the fear you might be experiencing.
