Self-Awareness

Sat, 18 Nov 2023 21:23:09 GMT

Self-awareness is the first quadrant of Emotional Intelligence, and we deeply dive into the elements that make this quadrant so important. We often find ourselves doing a better job of assessing others and having a horrible time assessing ourselves. We can not move towards being a better version of ourselves and control our emotions without ensuring we take time to assess who we are and what's going on internally. In today's episode, we deeply dive into Self-awareness and learn more about finding out what's going on inside!

Labels

Sat, 28 Oct 2023 17:28:07 GMT

On our road to Self-Actualization, we are going to take a stop and talk about the issue of Labels! We all have to deal with being labeled in life, and sometimes these labels alter how we view ourselves in the grand scheme of reality. Understanding how to deal with this issue is another step in figuring out just who we are! In this episode we tackle the hard truth that many of these problems are simply things that we accept about ourselves and should never be apart of how we think and feel. Let's get at it!

Comparison

Sat, 07 Oct 2023 19:39:58 GMT

Albert Einstein said: "Everyone is a genius, but if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will go through life thinking it's stupid." In today's episode, we start a new journey of Self-Actualization, and we begin by identifying the first enemy of us truly finding ourselves, and that's Comparison! We spend too much time comparing ourselves to others, and to be honest, our day-to-day actions are sometimes the main reason we do this. Strap on tight, and let's go on the rollercoaster of finding the self!

Movement vs Progress

Sun, 01 Oct 2023 11:38:54 GMT

Well, it's been an incredible journey that we've been on with this Stree Management block. I hope you guys have enjoyed listening as much as I have enjoyed creating. In our final episode on this particular subject, we pull all of the previous episode topics together to discuss what is probably one of the damaging yet unaddressed issues when it comes to overwhelming stress, and that is committing to movement with no progress. You know people who are constantly busy, tiring themselves out daily, yet when a complete assessment of their efforts is done, they have accomplished nothing. I call this "The Hampster Wheel," and we will discuss just how to break this continuous destructive process. Let's get moving!

The Attitude of Gratitude

Sat, 16 Sep 2023 17:36:19 GMT

As we continue reducing stress, anxiety is one of the most significant issues most people face. We are worried about what we have, what we don't have, and what people do and how they act, and it gives us a horrible outlook on our lives and our condition. In today's episode, we talk about how we can use gratitude to fight against the victim mentality and the idea that everything around us is going wrong. There is so much that we must be thankful for; we must take time and acknowledge it. Enjoy the episode, and I'm sure you will thank me later!

The Best Giving is Forgiving

Sat, 09 Sep 2023 22:14:43 GMT

Forgiveness is such a hard thing to do. But what if I told you that not forgiving is one of the main reasons why we remain stuck in the past? In today's episode of Da Soap Box, we explore the skill of forgiveness and how we gain more control over the stress in our lives by becoming better forgivers. This one may step on a few toes, but in the spirit of the episode, Please... Forgive Me!

When Tragedy Strikes

Sun, 03 Sep 2023 22:53:13 GMT

Tragedy strikes us all, and life is full of moments where we are not at our highest. Last week, I was presented with one of the most brutal blows that life has to offer. Yet, we are champions and can not fall victim to these moments. Isn't that easier said than done? So, how do we push forward? How do we overcome that feeling of quicksand that everyone has to endure? In today's episode, we tackle this subject firsthand and approach it from a real-world vantage point. If you have ever been through anything or are going through a tough time right now, you won't want to miss this episode. See you inside!
