Our bodies respond to the thoughts in our head. We make choices because of our thoughts. And if we have a scary thought, we feel fear. If our thoughts are angry in nature, we feel anger. If we have worrying thoughts, we feel stressed and anxious. If they are positive, we feel good and happy.

We think reality effects our thoughts, but it is our thoughts that create our reality. Most of us simply have an untrained mind. Our mind is our master. The ego runs the show.

In this podcast, I talk about how our higher self can take back the reins of our mind. I discuss how our egos took control in the first place and the sneaky tricks it uses to hold on to power. And I share some simple solutions for taming the mind so that it becomes our loyal, helpful companion instead of our moody, needy, and impulsive boss.

We all have trouble thinking before we speak and act. We want to be present and flow, but we also want to be careful and thoughtful of what we do.

So how do we think before we act and still be present? How do we stop impulsive behavior, giving into addiction and addictive urges, and reacting from anger or losing our temper?

Why do we sometimes say something we don't mean, act impulsively, or hurt others unintentionally? And most importantly, how can we become aligned in our words, thoughts and actions so that we no longer have to watch we say and do?

In this podcast, I share a simple but powerful 2-step process for maintaining our presence, our wisdom, and our peace and clarity so that we can always act in the most skilled and beneficial way that leads to longterm peace and wellbeing for ourself and our loved ones.
