Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together

Joe Bakhmoutski

When you have a difficult story in life, it is so hard to bring it out into the open and “deal with it”… Sometimes you don’t even realise just how much it’s been affecting you in your day to day – or so has it been for me. And so I am trying to make sense of it all, and in this podcast, I want to share some of the vital things that I’m learning on this journey towards healing and hope. You are not alone, my friend! I’m here for you, and you – you deserve to be happy, and let’s figure things out

#32 – How To Be More Productive

Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together ·

2021/08/22

Don’t you just hate it sometimes when you look at that clock and think - JUST WHERE DID THE DAY GO?!? There is so much to be done, and it feels like a waste! And yes, sometimes it happens because you lose track of time, or get dragged into meetings, or sorting out problems that came out of nowhere… But often times, what we are told about being productive is misguided, or WRONG. Take the notion of “go with your strengths”: On the surface, it seems like a good idea - do what you good at, and it will

#31 – What To Do With Anger

Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together ·

2021/08/14

There is nothing you could ever regret more than the things that you do in anger. It’s the one feeling you can’t control - it comes on, unasked, and takes over. And when you look back on it, you can’t help but think - was this really ME?! Was it I who said, or done, or even considered those stupid, useless things?!!? And if I have, I don’t want to do it AGAIN!! But the first thing you want to do is - how do I stop feeling angry? That is tough to pull off because the emotion is just strong,

#30 – How To Be More Confident

Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together ·

2021/08/08

For the longest time, I thought confidence is this unshakable belief in yourself, and nothing can throw you off… But it never felt REAL, like something I could achieve. Because it’s pressure, to be a certain way, and it’s never enough because there’s always something that goes off! Instead of being perfect, I choose to be myself, to be real and acknowledge that life isn’t always easy, and you can figure it out!! You already have been through enough, and you deserve MORE. Because you give your best,

Just now I was coaching our seven year old Michael on what to do when things don’t go your way… And you know what? It’s HARD!! Because for every situation where you conjure up a bit of magic to get on top of it, there are ten that simply refuse to give in! So what is the difference between the times when you figure things out or keep banging your head against the wall? And what do those rare moments when you get a win, what do they have in common? Well it’s when I saw it coming and recognised that

You often hear about folks going through a difficult time, and they don’t seek help or support until it gets out of hand. Now this may even have happened to you… And it’s good to know why that happens so you might be able to do what’s right for you next time. If that happens - and I sure hope that it doesn’t, but life is strange and unpredictable, and we often learn it the hard way. Now one reason you know about is that of course you don’t want to be a burden and make life even more difficult for

#27 – If You Made a Mistake and It’s Bugging You

Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together ·

2021/07/18

Don’t you just hate that horrible feeling you get when you did something wrong?! It goes straight to your core, doesn’t it, and it you can’t help but feel tense and weird on the inside… But what makes what you’ve done a mistake? Maybe it’s the consequences you don’t want to face, or maybe it’s something that goes against you and your values… The one difference is this - you are the one who decides whether what you did is wrong, or it isn’t! Because it’s only a mistake when YOU feel it, right - not

2021/07/11

Do you sometimes find yourself fixing other people’s problems, wishing there was a simpler way to live life, where you don’t have to worry about what other people think, or want you to do, or what the future might hold? And you can’t even find time to stop and think - what is it that I even want, and where am I going? So how do you cut through the worry and circumstance to bring order and restore a bit of calm into your life? Especially when there are things beyond your control, those times when

#25 – How To Deal With Crazy Thoughts

2021/07/03

Do you sometimes hate yourself for those ugly thoughts that just pop into your head sometimes? Don’t they feel rotten and wrong?! My instinct says - that’s not me, I don’t know you, go away and leave me alone! And what happens? It stays with you, circling, like a vulture, waiting to pounce when you can’t distract yourself any longer. Listen, it may not happen often, but it’s bad when it does… But what if you could sideline those crazy thoughts, stop them from eating away at you? Over the years of

#24 – How To Deal With Worry

Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together ·

2021/06/27

When you have something or someone that you care for deeply in your life, then you will also be petrified at the prospect of losing it. It may be because we know life to be fragile. It may be the memory of all that was lost, or the murky outcrops of the future that lies in wait… For all that you know and imagine, you cannot close yourself off from worry. It starts out as a what if, a distant noise that grows louder, and you can’t help but wonder what it might mean… So if you can’t shut it out, then

If you’re not JEALOUS by nature, but want things that other people have… And you don’t? Right or wrong, I just can’t help it... But isn’t it a natural way to feel, sometimes? And if that’s the case, maybe then you could even rid yourself from feeling weird or guilty? More so, I believe we can use our envy for good - to pull you forward instead of my holding you back: If you are looking for a pick me up, check out my brand new book on thriving in times of uncertainty:

Have you ever felt weird about wanting to make friends, and didn’t know how to go about it, or bring it up in a conversation? Maybe you moved to a new town, or life’s taken a turn… And now you’re on your own, and you want to meet people who get you and like you for who you really are. There is not one thing that could be wrong about that, is there? And yet, it can be so awkward to open up about it, to yourself and with people around you… So why is it easier to talk about death in the family or being

I don’t want the world to remind me how I’m coming up short. Short on living, short on dreams, short on expectation... Or am I? Maybe this is what boredom really is - afraid of being not enough so why keep trying. But I want to win. Grab life and shake it, just so the good things fall out. And there are no leftovers of what might’ve been. So how do you get out of bed when you’re not enough? Here is one idea that might help: If you are looking for a pick me up, check out my brand new

It’s only two weeks, and I get called into the boss’s office. The blinds are shut, but I know they’re there, trying to catch a glimpse of what is really going on this stifling, dark room. I wasn’t the first. There were two or three of us who went into that office determined, only to come out mute, shielding their eyes from the rest of us. And so it was my turn. Let’s see what this is, I thought. What else is there? Kevin sits sprawling in the executive chair. He took over the room and I didn’t the

It’s the rush you get when your dream come alive, and you can see it so clearly, even before it happens. You’ve been waiting for it so long, and you worked hard for it... So of course it’s the big break you’ve been waiting for all time - and no doubt you deserve it! And all the signs are pointing in the right direction so it’s no wonder you’re excited and you’re making plans for how you’re going to enjoy whatever comes next.

So we go to the doctor today with Max, and what he say? You must watch out because it could be... MENINGITIS. Just like that, with a word, you are transported to our time with Michael. The seizure. The rush to the hospital. The face of the paramedic rushing us in through the white doors. The sedation. I could go on... We are so lucky because it was THIS close.

#17 – Believing in Yourself When Others Don’t

2021/05/03

When you don’t believe in yourself, believe in what you do. Believe in the work you put in because if your intentions are good, you’ve got the hope on your side. This hope may not seem like much... And you might not even see it as such - until later. When Max was one, we’d be going around the house each night and he’d point up at the ceiling or the lamps saying: “Light! Light!” Then he’d start saying it during the day, but I couldn’t make sense of it - why would he say that? And then I it hit me -

2021/04/25

Isn’t it weird how everyone talks about mindfulness, but no one seems to know how to put it to work it in everyday life? And how do you even know that you’re actually doing it? Many times I found myself staring into space in an attempt to find calm and relax, but no matter how hard I tried, my head swelled up with noise and random thoughts... Instead of enlightenment or clarity, I wound up feeling stupid and inadequate. Is this what mindfulness really is - another fad when every day we struggle

It’s two minutes before my library talk. Tonight I am sharing the three biggest lessons I got from cancer about tackling uncertainty in everyday life. The people waiting and it’s about to start. I run through the main talking points in my head. But what will they think, I wonder? What if they find it shallow? Or dull, which is even worse? I sat down on the bench, burying my face in my hands. Should I even bother - and will they get me and my message, or think it’s a waste of time? And who am I -

#13 – What To Do When Your Past Is Holding You Back

Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together ·

2021/04/02

What is regret? It's not accepting the fact that you are a human being and that you can make mistakes. Yes, there are things you and I would do differently, given the chance, but let me ask you this - did you make the best decision that you could make at the time, given what you knew then? If so, could you still blame yourself for what you did wrong? We get ourselves in trouble when we allow these could haves, would haves and should haves wreck our life today. Not on purpose, obviously - who in
