Let's talk about drugs.

These are my musings about an article entitled " Actually, neuroscience suggests 'the self' is real. " I love the discussion around the self-concept, because... well... the self-concept runs our lives. I'm grateful to the author of this article for furthering the discussion!

My lovely friend Becky and I discuss why we don't like calling ourselves "coaches"... This episode will, I think, be interesting for everyone. Because we really talk about the heart of what we do... the "fundamentals" if you will... and why we think it's helpful. Find Becky Anderson at www.pausitivecoaching.com Fine me at www.bekaelle.com
How often do you think about other people? ... ...Whether it's what they're thinking about you, or what made them how they are... What if you are other people?

I'm so excited to have Alex on for another episode. In this episode, we discuss our upcoming course, centered around inquiring into this simple question, "who do I think I am?" ... which often has answers that reveal the layers of belief that we walk around with. Our identities and self-concepts are often so deep and unquestioned that they run our lives without us even noticing. By inquiring into these layers of belief, we can allow limitations to fall away, enabling us to live life in a freer, ...
What is happiness? What makes us happy? How is happiness different from other emotions? When you really dissect it, you might be surprised by what you find. www.bekaelle.com Join SOUL HUDDLES !
REST IS PRODUCTIVE. Our minds often don't think so, though. What's with that?! www.bekaelle.com Join SOUL HUDDLES here.
An insight I had recently about how we're either feeling discomfort of the present, or the discomfort of trying to get out of it. And what if the reliable presence of that thing we call "discomfort" is ... actually comforting?
If you think your problem is not believing in yourself enough, maybe just let that one go. You can do things, successfully, without believing you can. Contrary to the manifesting/self-help manifesto. Don't let a lack of confidence, or a "low-vibration" feeling, stop you from getting started. Belief in yourself just makes the process a lot more fun. But it's not a requirement. www.bekaelle.com Join SOUL HUDDLES here....
Do you catch yourself saying, "I don't know" when you really do know, but you're afraid of admitting it because you think it sounds immature, unwise, petty, or shameful? Do you not admit what you want, even to yourself, because you're afraid of the disappointment of not getting it? We do this a lot. And minds can be sneaky about it. www.bekaelle.com Join SOUL HUDDLES here....
"Who do you think you are?" is a question that gets thrown around, rhetorically, as an insult. But when we genuinely ask it, it has the potential to shake our entire foundation, enabling us to experience fluidity and freedom beyond our habitual self-concepts.
I'm honored to have my friend and colleague, Becky Anderson, on the podcast! Becky is great at noticing and articulating the nuances of how the mind works and how it can make us feel stuck. This makes her a great coach, because so much freedom comes from just getting that high level view of the little innocent games and computations that our minds are making all the time, in a smart-but-not-wise effort to keep us safe. She opens up in this episode about what it’s been like to put her work out th...
People sometimes call me brave, but that is NOT how I see it. I'm scared sh*tless most of the time. I do things while terrified because I like gathering evidence that my mind is a silly little liar.

For this bonus minisode, I'm releasing an unfiltered voice note that I recorded while I was walking in Prague, thinking about a common question. The question is essentially: do we have control of our thoughts? www.bekaelle.com

What does "good enough" mean? Where's the line? Is there one? If so, who drew it? Was it you? If you're not putting yourself, or your art, out there, because you're afraid of not being good enough, this episode is for you. www.bekaelle.com
In this episode, I talk about my recent insights around dance, which led to more insights about our actions in general. What if we can just do things, because we're doing things, and the meaning that our mind innocently puts behind it is less true than we've been believing? www.bekaelle.com
In this episode I discuss four concerns that a lot of people have when they are leaning into their creative urges... #1: "I should improve my technique before I create my own stuff." #2: "I don't know what to create." #3: "I'm just not a creative person." #4: "I don't have time." sign up for CREATE CLUB here !

What if we could truly see that there is nothing to fear in any feeling? It would change everything. There would be no need to cope using our unwanted habits and addictions. There would be no anxiety. There would be no "stuckness." When we truly look into our feelings, and see that every single one is safe, and that the story we have in our minds has nothing to do with the feeling itself, everything changes. www.bekaelle.com
Let's talk about anger. We're conditioned to be afraid of feeling angry. But no harm can come from feeling a feeling. It's the resistance and bottling and "I want this feeling to go away, therefore he/she/'the situation' needs to change" that gets us into ickiness. And even "ickiness" is defined by a mind. www.bekaelle.com
I used to think I was hopelessly addicted to sugar. Here's what changed. www.bekaelle.com
