5 Minute Mojo

Usually here on Five Minute Mojo we talk very abstractly.  Today I explain a way to get into this moment in under 2 minutes

You will discover a newfound sense of purpose and belonging once you understand that you are here for a reason. 5 MM 143 I am Nobody Hey my friend, thanks for coming back to Five Minute Mojo.  We have work to do today.  We need to start thinking about how important you are to the world.  We have got to get you thinking that you are powerful, capable and worthy of an amazing life.  It would seem that yesterday’s show was the perfect segue for today. Yesterday we talked about looking the part of a person of confidence and power and today we are going to go inside your head to do some work there. Okay, right from the get go, who is more important than you?  Sure, we can make that the question of the day; well one of them anyway. I’ll give you time to think.  After all there are billions of people on the planet.  Make sure you take stock of everybody; celebrities, athletes, political figures.  Do you need more time?  Let’s just start with the list you have now.  Who’s on it? Okay, I feel bad.  I set you up. 

It's time to make the sidewalk the catwalk.  Embrace your inner confidence.  It's real easy. I'll show you. Just listen to today's episode.

You may or may not have your summer body, but what the heck does that mean?  Forget about sexy.  How about starting small by treating your body with respect.

If you choose to do nothing in regards to any news story, then hearing about the pain and despair will disturb your peace of mind.

I have a way to get me out of the doldrums that works every time.  Do you want to know what it is?  Come listen and find out.

You don't have to have passionate days every day, but isn't time for at least one or two?

Affirmations are a valid tool for creating a shift in your mindset and habits.  However, they need the power of visualization to help them out.

Ideas that are deemed crazy just may be the birth of genius.  Who really is to say what is crazy?

Friday I talked about charity.  Today I want to share the results of my field trip.  Once again, my soul took me on a journey that would reaffirm what I already knew but never tire of knowing; that the world is a beautiful place.

Today I rethink a belief that I have held for decades.  Just perhaps, it was wrong all along.

It will always serve you to be kind in accordance with your link to your higher self and not simply because you were told to be.

Forget thinking of your age as a number and instead think of your life as a whole.  Whatever you experienced as a young adult you can experience now.  All you need to do is change your mind

Our brains do an amazing job of helping us feel good about not getting the important stuff done.

You may want many things from the products that you buy but were those things you wanted or were they things you were told you should want?

There are many challenges we face as a species in getting along.  Yet as much as the news likes to think we are heading to hell in a hand basket, we are not. While we still have a long way to go, it is pretty amazing to think that the majority of 8 Billion people are getting along.  What's making that happen and keeping you alive longer? Compassion

Many times we blame others for our challenges; well the less evolved anyway.  The economy, your boss and maybe even your significant other.  As you become wiser you will come to learn that you alone are the biggest impediment to your growth.  But it doesn't need to be that way.  Ditch this one word from your vocabulary and see your future unfold.  

A conservative estimate says we have at least 40,000 thoughts in a day.  Some may contend that it feels more like 400,000.  Regardless of number, some of those thoughts are taking up valuable real estate in your head.  And while the brain is powerful, it is like a computer. The more programs you have running at one time the slower your machine will run.  Your mind is the same, and its not just about processing data.  It is also about your peace of mind of course.  Come hear about the simplest, yet most effective tool, for clearing your mind.

Happy Fourth of July for my American listeners!  Since I have listeners all over the world I wanted to rebroadcast an episode that makes a great deal of sense.  We can't be wasteful.  This planet is a gift, so never throw out anything when it can still be used, if not by you then someone else.

127 5 MM The Spaces Between the Habits Hello my friends and welcome to Five Minute Mojo.  If you have been listening to ZEN commuter and Five Minute Mojo for a while you know that orchestrating your life is on some level what we are doing here.  We are learning new ways to look at life in an effort to become calmer and more purposeful.  Some other great podcasters are doing the same thing.  Lewis Howes, John Lee Dumas, Ellen Hendriksen and Eric Zimmer to name a few all have a similar goal, yet they approach it from their own perspective.  But one thing we all agree on is the importance of good habits. Each of us understand that the things we do repeatedly make us who we are.  Yet only on some level.  I certainly love routines of positive habits that make up my day.  However, as much as I find value in those habitual acts there is something to be said about the moments between the habits, the random occurrences, the people you meet. We can’t plan every moment of our day.  It’s good to have a framework for g
