The Daily Rituals of Highly Productive People

One of the critical characteristics of successful people is that they are highly productive - they get more quality work done in a shorter span of time when compared to the average person.

While talent undoubtedly plays a role, the real secret to their prowess is their ability to create a lifestyle that’s conducive to success. The key is developing the right rituals that work for you.

Our rituals ground our vision. True masters follow a steady work schedule and feel comfortable with mundane daily rituals. In this episode, I’ve outlined the top five rituals followed by some of the most talented and productive people, which you can emulate to unlock your potential.

5 Signs You’re Giving Away Your Power in Relationships

There’s a power dynamic in every relationship. It dictates who has the power and who doesn’t. When someone’s personal power is invested in another, they develop an unhealthy attachment to them and lose themselves in the process.

As energy-based beings, we’re responsible for who we allow into our space. We should actively evaluate the dynamics of power in all our relationships and become attuned to who gives and takes it away.

Your intuition and body are the best guides when it comes to evaluating power sources. Look out for these five warning signs, I describe in this week’s podcast, that you’re giving away your power in your relationships.

[Interview] Using Energy Healing to Balance Emotions & Reduce Fear (feat. Cyndi Dale)

The French philosopher, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin once said that "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience." As spiritual beings, if we want to have a more profound experience of life, we have to be willing to go within and understand the deeper aspects of ourselves.

Cydi Dale, my guest today is going to help us do just that. Cyndi is an internationally renowned author, speaker, healer on energy medicine, intuition, and spirituality. She has worked with over 70,000 clients and presented hundreds of workshops around the world.

During our conversation, Cyndi will be teaching us the basic of energy anatomy and how it works. She’ll also be providing tips and techniques  on how to develop our intuitive and psychics abilities and lastly, how to manage our fears, especially those related to the current pandemic. 

How to Live Your Life with Purpose

The phrase “living with purpose” evokes a variety of emotions. Some find it cliché while others find it intimidating and grandiose. They wonder if they must be the next Gandhi, Mandela, or Mother Teresa to reach that level.

The confusion happens because we limit our definition of purpose to being solely action-based. 

Living with purpose is a sensibility and a state consciousness that influences our approach to everything we do - from the way we brush our teeth to how we show up to a board meeting.

Feeling engaged with life and striving to live with purpose infuses our routines and habits with vibrancy and will put a spring in your step. 

In this episode, I outline five ways to live your life with a sense of purpose.

How to Balance Cultural Identity

Our culture plays a significant role in shaping who we are. The more traditional we are, the more we tend to rely on our cultural cues to provide us with a sense of self.

But it’s only one piece of the puzzle. Our personas are a mosaic of various influences:our values, beliefs, behavior, education, and appearance. When we get overly attached to one culture to the point where we block out everything else, we close ourselves off to other realities and perspectives in the world.

The key to a balanced identity is learning how to blend different cultural influences. In this episode, I provide three ways you can create a balanced cultural identity and use it to your advantage in our global community.

The Importance of Play and Having Fun

On the surface, play doesn’t seem to have utility value, but multiple studies reveal that it’s fundamental to our health. The absence of it can literally make us sick and weigh down on our spirits. Brené Brown says, “the opposite of play is not work—the opposite of play is depression.”

During this particularly challenging phase in history, we now have to be deliberate and creative when it comes to play and enjoyment and make it part of our self-care practice. If you want to start having more fun in your life, you’ll enjoy this post where I outline five steps you can take.

When Good is Good Enough

For perfectionists, "good enough" is the enemy of excellence. This all-or-nothing thinking traps them in a state of dissatisfaction and a sense that they're constantly chasing a moving target. 

However, there's a big difference between being inspired to be our best selves, and being driven by a need to win at all costs. The latter is toxic and destructive.

If you’re someone who is results-driven, and motivated to work to a high level, recognizing when good is good enough is essential to your success and your self-worth. In this post, I’ve described five occasions to pull back.

What the Law of Attraction Taught Me About Manifesting Love

The Law of Attraction simply states that you attract whatever you focus on. The people who buy into it believe that by simply thinking about their hopes for romantic love, they’ll manifest it. 

While there is truth to this timeless principle, this law cannot be used as a shortcut or a quick-fix. When it comes to relationships, there are hidden beliefs and patterns that can have a significant impact on your choices and behavior in intimate connections.

When I understood this and did the inner work it became increasingly evident that there’s an established order to the universe that favors those who are willing to look deeper. I outline four things the law of attraction taught me about manifesting love and how you can use it in your life.
