JumpStart - Your Dial
Friday Jun 12, 2020
Friday Jun 12, 2020
A woman I know sent me an email that said, “I’m sorry for all the mean and hurtful things I said to you in the past but I can’t help it, I’m Irish.”
It’s easy to blame our ethnicity, our upbringing, our circumstances, and ANYTHING other than ourselves when we become aggressively angry.
In reality, there is a dial inside each of us that we can control although many of us gave over the management of that dial to our reactive mind long ago.
Today, let’s talk about a two-part strategy for not overreacting in difficult situations:
Mentally talking yourself down off the ledge
Body awareness to experience, breathe through, and release physical sensations
Learn how to dial down your emotions so that you become more e

JumpStart - Prayer
Thursday Jun 11, 2020
Thursday Jun 11, 2020
About a year ago I heard “Let’s all pray for this world” by Perry Farrell, and it immediately resonated with me.
I felt if ever there was a time we needed prayer it was then, which was PRIOR to a global pandemic, record unemployment, and worldwide race protests.
Today, let’s all stop, take a breath, and express a prayer.
Today, let’s release our fears to a power greater than ourselves and trust that everything will evolve as it should to the best and highest for all.
Today, let’s know that out of chaos comes order, out of wounds come healing, and out of hate comes love.
Today, I’ll teach you a simple, non-religious method of prayer that will make you feel good and that will create a positive impact in our world.
Today, let’s pray.

Jumpstart Feelings
Wednesday Jun 10, 2020
Wednesday Jun 10, 2020
People use the word “feelings” incorrectly most of the time.
They say, “I feel” when they actually mean “I think” as in “I feel we should do this.”
And even when they use the word “feel” correctly, they don’t identify the feeling in their body such that they can become aware of the sensations and energy the feeling creates.
Today, let’s get in touch with our feelings and how our body reacts to feelings we experience.
More importantly, let’s learn how to manage our bodily sensations (feelings) such that we are less reactive and more happy.

JumpStart Race 2
Tuesday Jun 09, 2020
Tuesday Jun 09, 2020
After yesterday’s JumpStart, I felt incomplete.
Although I shared some of the dark history of my family’s racism and the idea that no one seems to spot their own racism, I felt like I should have gone deeper offering suggestions and advice to spot our biases.
In almost every culture, there is a group (either race or religion) in power and an “other” who is often described as being unethical, unclean, uneducable, and immoral.
Using those prejudices over and over, cultures have been divided along racial and religious lines throughout history.
If we want to open ourselves up to a new reality, we need to change our beliefs and open our minds and hearts to others.
Let’s JumpStart race and explore how we can come together as the one and only human race.

JumpStart - Race
Monday Jun 08, 2020
Monday Jun 08, 2020
During the filming of the original Planet of the Apes movie in 1968, a surprising social experiment took place.
Hundreds of extras were made up to be either a chimp, a gorilla, or an orangutan and not only did their appearance change but so did their social order.
I’ll explain what happened but more importantly I’ll give you a fine-tuned understanding of how it helps us understand George Floyd’s murder and the protests going on around the world.
If you’re sickened by what’s happening, this will give you perspective and peace.
Just remember there’s only one race -- the human race.

Friday Jun 05, 2020
As you can see, the quality of my videos has been improving steadily over time.
I put in a lot of hours to try and figure out how to improve things but in the background has been someone helping me - my producer Miroslav.
Miroslav lives in Serbia and has always blown me away with his conscientious work and his bright and bubbly attitude.
In this JumpStart, I share with you his story and what you and I can learn from him to improve our own lives.

JumpStart- Grate Expectations
Thursday Jun 04, 2020
Thursday Jun 04, 2020
“You won’t always get what you want in life, but in the long run you’ll get what you expect.” - Denis Waitley
We can write down our goals, journal, pray, have a coach, and still we will not accomplish what we want if we don’t expect to do so.
Expectation is a powerful force that is linked to faith.
If I lives aren’t working, it’s time to change our expectations.
And, only you can change them.
Starting today, let us expect better so that the things we receive are truly great, rather than grate on our nerves.

Jumpstart - Miracles
Wednesday Jun 03, 2020
Wednesday Jun 03, 2020
Just like you, I have been affected financially and emotionally by the pandemic.
And just like you, I have not been aware of the full effects it has had on me.
However, I have experienced a true miracle and I want to share it with you.
People who I am supposed to be serving have instead been serving me every single day and loving and creative ways - supporting my dreams and visions, while building a community.
In this JumpStart, I introduce you to these amazing people and tell you how they have given me something to look forward to every day.

JumpStart- Positivity Bias
Tuesday Jun 02, 2020
Tuesday Jun 02, 2020
Psychologists all agree that human beings are driven by a negativity bias.
And it makes sense because being on the defense is what has kept human beings alive — defending ourselves against nature and defending ourselves against each other.
In my opinion, things are the way they are because we have not evolved past our negativity bias.
Negativity plus tribalism equals chaos.
If you’re ready to expand your mind into the concept of a positivity bias, then this is your JumpStart!
