How do you handle facing an opposing opinion? Can you stay grounded and clear, sharing your point of view while listening to (not just hearing) an opinion of another? Or do you go through the motions, waiting for the chance to speak again and double down on your point of view?What about your body language? Do you appear physically agitated, bored or disinterested? Our body language carries as much weight as our words so even if you feel you appear open and actively listening, the way you hold your body may be communicating something very different.On this short podcast we talk about a few things to consider when facting a challenging conversation and ways you can stay grounded within your own space.

When we feel a little excitement mixed with fear, we may be connecting with new desires that want to come through us. If we have been following along a routine path, this may feel strange and uncomfortable as well as a little exciting. Are you ready to tap into new feelings and desires to see what happens next?

Peace and chaos are interesting partners. While we may dislike being in chaos when it's pushed upon us, it sparks inner growth and transformation in ways we may not have chosen outwardly. At the same time, peace is a place within that can always be reached - however - we have to make time and space for it, and be present to truly experience it. On the latest episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment Podcast, I talk about how chaos (also the creative spark) is simply a part of life, and the ways it can open us up to true change. I also share insights on how cultivating inner peace is key to helping us become more aware of what we really need, when, and how to approach it in a way that truly honors our spirit. When one state of being takes over the other, we can become imbalanced and live in a state of fear and limiting thoughts disconnected from our bodies, or simply avoid dealing with life because we are afraid if will disrupt our peace.

The way we move through life starts with what we are willing to hear, see and listen to, and why we choose to do so. At the same time, the impact of personal filters can change over time - and should - as we learn, more clearly understand, gain experience and wisdom and, most importantly, connect with others who share their experiences and insight to help us understand new perspectives. On this episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment podcast, I talk about the impact of personal filters on the way we see everything in life; how it can silently determine our actions and emotional state, the way we treat others and how we receive love, joy and good into our lives, too.

What does the phrase stepping up mean to you? Take action? Work harder? Take responsibility? Do more? Or does it also mean taking a beat? Getting clearer on desires, skills and areas of healing? Finding what truly aligns with your personal needs, wants and ideals, and then operating from that pace and place? In my opinion, it’s all of the above - and more. On this episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment podcast, I talk about the general vibe of stepping up energy, and how it’s often misused and misunderstood. I also discuss the ways you can trick yourself into continuing with a limited mindset and outlook, while simultaneously beating yourself up. Lastly, I talk about stepping up to love yourself more authentically and fully, and seeing emotional release and surrender as a positive tool, not a weakness to be endured or changed.So how do you want to define the energy of stepping up in the context of your own life and actions?

Taking time to understand what makes you impatient, why, and the reasons you continue with certain behaviors is all part of discovering your patience practice. Knowing your patterns reveals a lot about personal triggers, coping mechanisms and unique strengths. In other words, it’s incredibly empowering information. Clearly seeing the deeper reasons behind your reactions and motivations also offers perspective on where you can find deeper self understanding, healing, and shift an outdated mindset permanently. On this episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment podcast, I talk about discovering your patience practice, why it’s so powerful, different perspectives and beliefs about patience, and offer tips and insights on creating a patience practice for yourself.

The art of dealing with the unexpected while taking self care is a lifelong, uneven dance. Sometimes it flows effortlessly without the mind or distractions getting in the way of maintaining a regular self care practice. Other times, simply stopping for a moment to pause and quiet the mind is a full out challenge, or impossible. On the latest episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment podcast, I talk about dealing with the unexpected while taking self care. I offer practical tips and insights to provide perspective and encouragement, and share simple ways to shift mindset and focus to tune out the “noise” and get down to what the heart really wants you to know. Lastly, I discuss the importance of noting and tracking your personal triggers and indicators that let you know when self care is critical, and what you need to feel better.
