(Breather)In this breather show, I focus on the advice from experts that truly have changed my life, as well as my relationships. All of the advice is centered around what is most important to all of us: love and relationships, and living a happy, peaceful life aligned with our values. Highlighting the most integral messages and beliefs from visionaries like Dr. Wendy Walsh, Deepak Chopra, Dave Rossi, Dr. Robert Lustig, and more, this episode will show what you should be doing more of, as well as what you should be doing less of, to be truly happy in your life and relationships. I always come back to Deepak Chopra’s 4 Daily Intentions. These four intentions are simple but powerful. Every morning in meditation, he reminds himself that this is how he wants to live his life: Joyful Energetic Body: No toxic people, job, substances. He’s also become a plant-based and has little or no meat. Loving Compassionate Heart: People want Attention and Acceptance as they are. (Even Trump! See how he was able to speak to people’s hearts (crazy thought, right?) in his specific way, making them feel seen, sparking and emphasizing the collective insanity among his followers - how else would he have gotten elected? By giving a huge amount of people attention and acceptance as they were). Reflective Quiet, Alert Mind: This is how you access Intuition, Creativity, Vision, and Imagination, and are able to live life in a state of flow and have peak experiences. Lightness of Being: No resistance, no anticipation, and no regrets. Operate by the standing conclusion that there is no explanation for anything. And a little note about #3: Do not force positive thoughts. Dr. Chopra says that being exasperatingly positive is another form of stress. and can actually cause a turbulent mind. This was a big revelation for me — you can lose touch with your emotions, and fail to examine your present situation, weaknesses, and best possible future direction, all because you’re trying too hard to stay positive in a situation that is clearly causing some negative feelings or reactions in you. Instead, learn to listen to your intuition in those moments, because there is value in negative emotion, which is that it allows you to make adjustments based on what and how you are feeling. Without this contrast, how would you ever be able to consciously direct your life to go where you want to go? Two time Get Over Yourself guest Dave Rossi says that when you experience stress, fear, or pressure, redirect your thoughts to your values and your vision. Fake it till you make it, if necessary. Just do something about it! Since the subconscious mind is trained through repetition, winning behaviors no longer require a ton of discipline or commitment. And how about this great quote from Get Over Yourself guest, Seth Godin, who said, “The decline of our personal momentum might be the great untold story of our time. That electronic media, incoming, ‘breaking’, please reply, didn’t you see that, react right now, click here… this has a cost. And the cost is our internal drive to initiate, instead of to just react.” Let’s talk about the great work of writer Kris Gage, who writes for Medium.com, and wrote Good Love Is Boring, in which she argues that “boring is beautiful” and that good love is, “like honoring one another as our own people. Like a relaxed connection. Like respect, and lightheartedness, and calmness. Like eye to eye, and shared rapport. Like going on loving even when we’re at our most hurt, or most angry, or most anything. Like never playing the victim  —  or thinking in terms of how we hurt or what we don’t get. Good love is like mutual self esteem, and self-love, and self-care; like taking responsibility for own emotional wellbeing, owning what’s ours, and coming to each other with fairness. Good love is like an abundance mentality, and good love is like unconditional warmth.” Speaking of a healthy mentality, I talked about Dr. Robert Lustig’s mind-blowing book, The Ha
