Modern Day Hippies! Some time has passed, life has gotten in the way, and we must say, it's time to take a break. We want to give this podcast the love and attention it deserves, but during this time, it is so hard as a two women project. We will be back soon, in the mean time, we have to take on life as it comes. Xoxo, Denita & Taylor -- MDH
In this mini episode, we reflect on the concept of focusing on what you have instead of what you want. In a way, if you keep desiring stuff that you want, the list will keep adding and true happiness won't be fulfilled. Instead, change the focus to have gratitude for the things that you do have. "Happiness can't be found when we are yearning for new desires" (Carlson). Enjoy our mini series ~ All The Small Things ~ Reflecting from Richard Carlson’s "Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff and Its All Small ...
What is a triggering pressure for you? Something that we have all experienced at one point in time, is social pressure. There is so much pressure and expectations that is put on us at such a young age — fitting social standards, pressuring you to do something that makes you feel uncomfortable, pushing yourself to please others, These are just few examples of how this concept can really change the way we think and behave. One way to overcome some of these pressures is to be aware of your intuitio...
Sometimes we get stuck on things that make us angry, sad, anxious, worried, etc. which progresses negativity throughout our day. Richard Carlson talks about this concept of a "time warp". Whenever you are having this feeling about any given situation, ask yourself "will this situation matter a year from now?" Most of the time it probably won't, because they are little points in life that are just temporary. In the moment, it may seem like something that will take over your day but don't let it. ...

A fun episode where we explore everything ASMR — the sounds, the visuals, the stimulation. ASMR is a tingling sensation that you feel in your body, usually starting on the scalp that moves down the neck and spine. Different auditory and tactile triggers can make you feel this sensation. Without our modern day life and technology, ASMR would not be a known thing. We have discovered a whole phenomenon with different categories that can be therapeutic and stimulating. Explore your senses and see ho...
A reminder that you cannot please everyone! There will be multiple instances where you will experience praise and also blame throughout your life - We of course prefer to be praised, its in our human nature to want others approval. On the other hand, if someone is placing blame or disapproval, remember that everyone has their own thought process and way of being. It’s okay to have those differences, in fact, some criticism may change your own perspective if you want it to. With a special guest, ...
THIS EPISODE — We are talking about all of the haters out there. Unfortunately, we live in a world where negativity is spread by hating on other people. This has been (or is) exploited by the fact that technology and social media has created a space in our modern day era, where it has reached a point where things like cyberbullying and cancel culture has become so widespread. With so many modern day advances, things have changed for us including the level of haters —while hating has become apart...
Here’s one way to not sweat the small stuff, imagine the people in your life as “tiny infants and as one-hundred-year-old adults.” If there are feelings of irritation toward someone or a certain situation, a good way to settle your mind is to imagine their innocence and not take it too seriously. At the end of the day, everyone is on their own journey and is going through something different. Treat others how you would want to be treated! “If our goal is to become more peaceful and loving, we ce...

In case you needed a little reminder, life is not an emergency. Sometimes we stress about little things that we turn into urgent matters.

You will get all the little things you need to get done in a timely matter, prioritize what’s most important. Life is not an emergency. Enjoy our mini series ~ All The Small Things ~ Reflect...
