THE MIND-MUSCLE CONNECTION - Ep 38: Nothingness

Is your life meaningless or meaningful? Where does meaning come from? Why? The answers to those questions are not only the "big" ones in life, contemplated by philosophers for thousands of years, but they absolutely drive your life satisfaction. Surprisingly, you might find meaning or meaninglessness to be different than you expected. We tend to settle into a worldview, rely on it for those answers, and intentionally stop thinking about it. Listen in as Joe and Tyler explain why that could be yo...

THE MIND-MUSCLE CONNECTION - Ep 37: Expectation

The absolute measurement of your contentment is the mathematical difference ...

THE MIND-MUSCLE CONNECTION - Ep 36: Regret

Regret may be the most painful, soul-sucking emotion among all that blocks us from happiness and contentment.

Coping with loss, coping with stress, coping with disappointment, coping with change - we all use coping strategies whether we realize it or not.
