Tony Robbins said, "If you want to be more true to yourself - BE SPONTANEOUS."Choosing your music - is intellectual, as everything about you involves decisions. Of course, we know this, but typically our focus is on our reality, mood, and desires that document a little bit about our current selves.Music is a significant part because we consume so much energy throughout the day. We also need to be spontaneous.This bonus me-time session, it's free.And what you just need to do, is to be aware and get that spontaneous shook of figuring and rediscovering your liked songs found in your MUSIC APP.Keep a music journal by just downloading and remembering your favorite songs. Tune to those songs again and you may feel happy, cringe, or it's noteworthy when you sing in the showers again.You will start to scroll and figure:Which music do you listen to when you're "sad" deprive, or feeling different from everyone? How about when you're happy?What music that you use when you're reading?What music do you often listen to?What food zaps out of bed, to start dancing and work?What is the first music you downloaded? (the very first music, you found in your history)What music from the previous month have you added, and how come you added these new songs? Did you re-imagine scenarios or prepare to memorize the lyrics? It is also backed up by science! And realize this odd experience of yours makes you more aware of yourself.Have your featured review on a future episode by rating on Apple Podcast!!

A listener asked "How to Love without Proof?" Scods and Regel Andaya shares having conversations with people that seem to believe that loving one self is COMPLICATED. And to prove wrong!  It is only a mindset wherein we need to be aware "love can be shared, honored, and thoughtful ALL THE TIME." He says what we really need to make love more present is to "slow down and spend time to do things that we love and be thoughtful that it's our time to be slow." Regel goes to discuss how meditation is an exercise to our mind, and also debunks with Scods the things that makes DEPRESS TO IMPRESS not work.What will always continue to progress as one example is LOVE and KINDNESS. Work with a purpose to separate our ego and destructive thoughts of fear and the future of pressure, anxiety, and mistrust.Because that is not who we really are. To love yourself, Regel discuss we need to become aware with what is happening now and be aware that through meditation, it gives us a sense of well-being to never take excuses or problems as forever problem. Everything is temporary and will change.You can always spend 10-30 minutes of a day to meditate, journal, paint or make coffee to enjoy spending time alone and that will boost your well-being to love yourself, tiger.Have your featured review on a future episode by rating on Apple Podcast!!
