Today on the show we're talking about Self-fulfilling Prophecies and how they enable negative futures for ourselves. We can begin to reframe our outlook on the future by manifesting a vision that is more accurate to out wants and needs instead of a fixation on avoidance of an outcome. You can read our companion article at https://www.dopeamine.life/post/when-self-fulfilling-prophecies-occur-and-when-to-embrace-belief?postId=5f2d42e397dc2700174cef32 and sign up for audible at http://www.audibletr...

Today we're talking about what it means to compare yourself to others. We often hear a quote that says "Comparison is the thief of joy" but on this episode I suggest that there are ways to make comparison a joy. Let's talk about competition and rivalry like that of Goku and Vegeta, Romulans and Starfleet, or Red Sox and Yankees. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/happychemicals/message Get full access to DOPEamine at dopeamine.substack.com/subscribe...

Today we're talking about video games and how the medium allows for an expansion of storytelling and experiences. However, just like anything else, it can be abused.

Fear is a tricky concept, especially in the world of Coronavirus. Fear can keep us from going forward, can shell is up or make us run away. The challenge, however, is that fear can also be a valid motivator. You can't have bravery without fear to face and expressing fear is an important first step to strengthening yourself. We also reference the enneagram and how it relates to the behavior of the United States of America during this pandemic. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spoti...

We all grow up with different versions of what it means for the world to be saved. Some of us think we need buckle down and do more of what we're doing, others feel we need massive change. And while there are elements to each that are true, the real issue is understanding what kind of work we need to do to eventually meet in the middle and focus our energy in the right direction. I primarily focus on American Politics in the episode but I hope it's enough to translate to your part of the world. ...

My brother passed away a few weeks ago and I took a bit of time off from my youtube channel to process some of the grief of that loss.

During this very important #blacklivesmatter movement there has been a struggle with identifying how we can best support others and ourselves in the midst of this movement. One of those very important ways is to ground ourselves within our sense of self. That means that if we are not honoring who are and grounded in who we are it becomes very difficult to provide the support we can for others. This episode breaks that down. http://www.dopeamine.life/profilingsession --- Send in a voice message: ...

This is a quick episode in support of George Floyd and #blacklivesmatter. Throughout the discussions I've had online so far, it's clear to me that I want to support and nurture direct and logical leadership. That we get caught up in blurry lines and vague assumptions or implications. If we can be clear, we can know where to go from here. We also talk about roles in leadership as a developing person. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/happychemicals/message Get f...

I've noticed an influx of people on twitter and in the comments of my videos and podcasts expressing solidarity for what they experience but also including judgment with their acknowledgement. This episode is meant to help point some of that out in you to begin noticing your criticisms but not applying them to your identity.

Today on the show we're covering the very intuitive question of "What are thoughts and feelings?" The reason I ask this question is because it helps to know some version of what these concepts are. We think all the time, we feel all the time but do we really know what's going on? And how can knowing what's going on help with self-judgement? Let's break it down on this episode.

We share some of our experience with Animal Crossing, how it's been helpful as a grounding process, helping us connect with our friends, and be productive while also redefining our relationship with rest.

Today on DOPEamine we're talking about the importance of documenting your story. Each one of us has a unique story to tell, a story that is often driven by the context of our circumstances. Stories don't have to literally be words...they can be paintings, drawings, sculpture, etc. but they are relics of our time here on earth. Our stories are signals for our future selves and for future generations to know what to look out for, to not feel so alone, and seek guidance when lost in difficult times...

Today on the show we're talking about my personal experience with the Coronavirus pandemic. While last episode was a bit about advice, this one is a bit more about my raw expression of how I feel about this whole thing.

Today we're talking about the Coronavirus Pandemic and what it means for my own mental health management. With so much big stuff happening in the world, focus may be our biggest strength right now. I don't mean productivity but I mean personal awareness, intense self-care, and checking in with friends. It's easy to see the world's failings as a means to panic but focusing on what we can control is always a positive recipe for managing anxiety. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spot...

As many of are working from home and may not be used to it, I wanted to talk about how to pay attention to our own cycles a bit. We all know about circadian rhythm but our mental cycles are a different story. We have work modes and play modes which both need attention to be in better control of our stress and anxiety. Knowing your personality type helps identify when you may need to shift into one mode or the other. With what's going on in the world I think it'll be more important than ever to b...

Today we're talking a little bit about the Coronavirus and fear that something major like this brings. When you don't know what to expect, don't follow what's going on or react on assumption it can only make things worse. This episodes talks about concepts like the boogeyman under the bed and focusing on what we can shine a light on while managing our own imagination that prevents us from shining a light on that fear in the first place.

Today on the show we're talking about canceling out the noise. What I mean is that the world at large has a lot going on. There are big issues and ways to communicate perspective more than ever. Sometimes we need more of a safe space to process and make a mess as we figure it out but if we constantly fear scrutiny then we can't be honest about the growth we need. It's about how we can better create safe spaces to work it out, grow and become creators instead of victims. Join us at http://www.Pat...

Since I like asking and answering tough questions, I figured, why not answer one of the toughest ones of all? The meaning of life is probably the most common question asked in times of existential crisis and important one to think about for our personal sense of humanity.

There's a ton of information that our mind collects about our environment and experience without even realizing it. Beeps, bops, noises, energies, connections, thoughts and feelings can persist when they don't need to be there. This episode is a reminder that you are in control and your job as a human is not take it and become better at tolerating but diagnosing it, acting on it and moving forward. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/happychemicals/message Get fu...

Anxiety is one of the most common difficulties of the human experience. Many of experience this feeling of having not control over our thoughts and emotions, causing sheer panic as we want it all to stop. But truly, there is only ever one way to stop it and that's to change our perception of thoughts, feelings and behavior to reroute how we think about our experiences altogether.

Today on the show we're talking about emotional prompts in the form of therapy, tapping, tarot, astrology and other methods of emotional prompting. I know sometimes the barrier is often a sense of belief in these ideas but belief is most definitely not required. Even something like Chakras can be a big benefit to your growth when using them as a sounding board to see emotions can be brought up with just a little sensory stimuli. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/sho...

There is no such thing as normal. Defining normal, or at least what we mean by it, will allow us to shine a light on the challenge of not feeling normal. In a sense, it's like defining what your goal is. Why do you want to feel normal? What does normal look like to you? Is there a non-traditional way to achieve that feeling or idea?
