When was the last time you stopped to acknowledge your fears? In today's episode, we look at how our negative emotions point to some of our deepest fears, and a simple process you can use to move beyond that fear, so you can live a life of peace, joy, and well-being.

In today's episode, we talk about how we can use a simple framework to feel more at peace, even if you're feeling trapped in negative thoughts or regretting past actions. We talk about how a lack of peace isn't caused by a past situation, but by reliving thoughts about that situation, the importance of accepting you won't always feel peaceful, and how you can learn to become peace, until peace becomes your only reality.

In today's episode, I share how following my resonance - paying attention to my inner energy - has reshaped the way I live my life, and allowed me to create flow by drawing a clear connection between the events I experience and the way I feel.

In today's episode, we talk about a really easy strategy you can use to raise your energy - and actually choose deliberately the mood you want to be in. In order to use this strategy, you only have to know one simple fact, which is that our mood is a reflection of whatever thoughts we are repeating to ourselves in that moment, and the longer we repeat a thought, the more we begin to take on the energy and the feeling of that thought.

In today's episode, we talk about how you can follow a simple path to an entirely new level of consciousness, just by creating mini-moments of space throughout the day. I call it: Enlightened Awareness, and it's available to each and every one of us, anytime we choose.

In today's episode, I share the single, most important principle that has enabled me to virtually eliminate stress from my life. By focusing on this one idea and combining it with a few simple strategies, you can put a stop to stress before it spirals into a major problem in your life.

Whenever you go after a big goal, it's normal to get a bit stuck staring at the absence of it. But, what if there were a simple shift that could flip your perspective? What if you could see the "not-having" of your goal as part of the goal itself? That's the shift I use to stay excited and motivated, even when reaching my goal feels distant or out of reach.

In today's episode, we talk about how to use zero-based thinking to let go of some of the old energy you might be carrying with you.   This is perfect if you want to move from an old version of yourself - old beliefs, old identities, or old knowledge - that is no longer serving you, and make the space you need to grow into that next version of yourself.

We have a tendency to believe that the thoughts we think are valid. We believe they are relevant and important. But, do we actually know if that's true? In today's episode, we unpack some of our unconscious assumptions about the way we think, and how these assumptions are causing us unnecessary pain, stress, and struggle.

A can-do attitude is possibly the most cliché personal development idea ever, but - when you look closely - there's a hidden magic within it most of us never allow ourselves to realize.

It's the time of year when we all take time to pause and reflect on our goals for the year ahead. In today's episode I share a simple concept I use to set spiritual and personal development goals, and, specifically, I want to focus on goals that are non-physical: goals that are hard to define and track... and it all comes down to just 1 question you can ask yourself.

If you've been following The Joy Within for a while, you've probably heard me talk about resonance - your natural, inner energy. But, you might not be clear on what, exactly, this resonance is - or, frankly - why you should care about it.   So, today I want to talk about why resonance matters. I'll give a brief introduction to it, and then we'll go deep into why it is so fundamentally important, because I think being able to tune-in to this feeling is the single, most important skill you can develop.

In today's episode, we're asking a simple, but important question: What impact do you really want to have? If you didn't talk yourself out of it, what goal would you really set? And, we'll talk about how - if you're not careful - the little voice in your head will keep you from ever reaching that goal.

Every thought we think impacts our relationships with others, from our closest partners to passing strangers. In today's episode, we talk about the invisible force that is attracting or repelling everyone around you...all based on the quality of your thoughts and your mood.

We don't usually place a value on negativity, but what if I told you your thoughts were actually costing you millions of dollars? In today's episode, I dive into 3 ways you can think about the financial cost of unconscious thought habits, and why you should shift from scarcity to abundance, ASAP.

On one level, the emotional cost of negativity is obvious. Our thoughts drive our emotions, so when we think negative thoughts, we feel bad. But, there's actually a much stronger emotional cost than we realize, because whenever we have negative thoughts, we end up pitting one half of ourselves against the other.

Except in extreme cases, we don't blame our health on our thoughts. We look to the world around us. We might blame our diet, our environment, our job, or even our genetics - but rarely do we blame our consistent thoughts.   In today's episode, I'll show you how to clarify that connection and identify the toll on your health.

The cost of negative thinking is higher than you think. Over the next five episodes, we'll explore the 5 main costs of negativity that most people never consider, including physical, emotional, financial, relationship, and impact costs. By looking through this lens, we can become crystal clear about the role our thoughts play, and build the motivation to step back and do something about it.

In today's episode, we talk about why sadness isn't always a bad thing, and how accepting where you are and the role negativity plays for you can actually be a huge relief, moving you closer towards the joy you really want.

One of the biggest mistakes I see with students revolves around not knowing the right next step to take. In this episode, I'll share the easiest way to solve that problem, so you can stay motivated, inspired, and heading in the right direction, so you start seeing results quickly and easily.
