How You See Yourself

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/12/03

Self-image, at its core, is the way you see yourself. By “see” I mean how you interpret and think about yourself – not just the factual way you see yourself but also the opinion that you have of yourself.An important concept to understand is that self-image is totally subjective. It is totally up to YOU. Your opinion about yourself. It isn’t factual.We spend a lot of time being concerned about what other people think of us. We spend way more time trying to control or manage what other people think

Should I Stay or Should I Go?

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/11/26

This episode is all about the most common ways I see people misuse thought work and mindfulness.When I coach people on how to self-coach, I get so many clients who are confused about the difference between a) changing your life, b) changing your feelings about your life, c) truly processing your emotions from those original circumstances, even if you’ve already changed them.That last one so important.Because usually, when we try to change the external world and circumstances without first

Practical Emptiness

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/11/19

Circumstances are neutral.Another way of saying this? Things are empty of inherent qualities.Today, we’re digging into what a practical application of emptiness looks like in our everyday lives.This concept is really revolutionary in my book. So many buddhist conceptions are (even though they’re often seen as these quiet, calm, benign principles).In Buddha’s time, it was (and still is) revolutionary to accept that suffering comes from our own minds and not something outside of us.In our times,

The Power to Choose Your Feelings

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/11/12

I’m going to let you in on a golden nugget of truth that maybe you’ve never heard before: feelings are optional. Yup, you read that right. The ability to feel a full spectrum of contrasted, complex emotions are an inherent and integral part of the human experience – it’s what makes our species who (and what) we are.But we do not have to be at the whim of some emotional rollercoaster. Feelings don’t happen to us. We get to choose how to feel. Try to wrap your head around this.The most fundamental

Welcome to Being Human

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/11/05

Humans go through life thinking that feelings happen TO us. We think, “Ugh I am so stressed out, I wish it would stop!” Oftentimes, we act so confused about where it is coming from.Or we say, “OMG I am so irritable today.”Or in a funk.Or anxious.Or sad...maybe there’s some grieving going on.We feel powerless a lot of the time. Like our emotions can just take over and make us victims of a bad mood.The antidote?Really learning about feelings and how they work; making a concerted effort to learn how to

Clearing Out Decision Clutter

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/10/29

In case nobody ever told you: life is about making choices. The ability to choose is an incredible power that we humans have, but it takes some serious skill to be able to use it wisely. Research shows that the average person makes roughly 35,000 remotely conscious choices per day. Assuming that most people spend around seven hours a day sleeping, and therefore choice-free (depending on the type of dreamer you are), that means we make about 2,000 decisions per hour...or one decision every two

How to Be With Any Emotion

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/10/22

The Buddha taught that, to be free, we need to investigate every part of our human experience with an intimate and mindful attention. This includes emotions.Emotions aren’t “bad” in and of themselves.It’s what we do when we feel them – the thoughts that ensue, the actions we take as a result – not the emotion itself, that often causes our suffering.Practicing a mindfulness of emotions helps us to learn about ourselves and our mind. It helps us not get hooked by a difficult feeling, or the buffers we

Mindful Communication

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/10/15

Humans have a great capacity for communication.Yes, animals can communicate in other ways with unique sounds (probably telepathic ways we aren’t able to tune into...), but because of our cerebral cortex, we are capable of communicating complex plans about the future, stories about the past, and lots of amazing, abstract ideas. It’s a real evolutionary gift. But this level of communication can also get us into a lot of trouble. We can really hurt people, or act in ways that aren’t in alignment with

Can Money Buy Happiness?

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/10/08

Can money buy happiness?Many great minds throughout history have tried to answer this age-old question. And I bet you’ve pondered it a time or two...Over the years, there haven’t been any great anwers eithe, leaving many of us still wondering if money can truly buy happiness, and others assuming that it does.As a result, millions of people have bought into the idea that they need to spend their lives chasing wealth as the way to happiness and wellbeing.Which totally works out for capitalism, right

Define Your Freedom

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/10/01

What is true success? What is a truly “rich life”? What is a life of true FREEDOM?We all may have our own preconceived notions of what the answers to these questions look like – notions that are subliminally based on societal norms, familial or cultural expectations and the systems of power that order our world.Today, we’re digging into what “living a life of freedom” means to you – and how to move from just imagining this, to making it happen in the here and now.For me and for many of my clients,

How to Stop Feeling Like Shit

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/09/24

At an early stage in our lives, most of us have been taught that we need something outside of us to be happy – the right body, partner, job, car, house, bank account. Then somewhere along the line we also get taught something like, “True happiness comes from within.”And we think we’re totally on board with that. We think, “Right. It’s not stuff that makes me happy – it's things like kindness + compassion that make me happy!”The thing is, none of the above is true. Want to know why? Because while it

On Anger

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/09/17

Whether or not you had a childhood marked by conflict, or grew up in an environment of rage, you have likely – at some point in your life – struggled with anger.Even in the closest relationships (especially in the closest relationships) anger and conflict are inevitable.And so, when they show up it’s not necessarily a bad thing – it’s not a “bad sign” about the relationship, per se, because what anger is most often showing us is that our basic, most fundamental needs are not getting met.In this

How to Coach Yourself: Applied Mindfulness

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/09/10

As a life coach, part of my job is helping people develop the tools and skills to be able to do something really crucial to their own long term growth: coach themselves.Yes, I am here as a sounding board, a listener, a co-conspirator and a co-mastermind in helping my clients create the lives they want and deserve, (as a kick in the you-know-what if that’s what they need!) – but I cannot do the work for them.We all have to do our own groundwork to free our minds, so that we can free our

The Problem with 'Either/Or' Thinking

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/09/03

Human brains love black-and-white thinking. Thinking in terms of absolutes: of ‘right or wrong’, of ‘good or bad’, of ‘all or nothing’.With black and white thinking, there’s no tension or resistance – none of the discomfort that comes with cognitive dissonance. Because things are either one way or the other way, and this allows us to settle into the comforting absence of ambiguity – the comfort of being 100 percent convinced that we’re right, or that we are good, or that they’re wrong, or that

How to Improve Any Relationship

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/08/27

Have you ever noticed that we think we need to control the world, and that – somewhere in the back of our subconscious minds – other people need to behave a certain way so we can feel good?We have so many rules for our relationships that we’ve stopped experiencing them and are locked into the expectations of how the relationship SHOULD be, instead.The secret is this: your relationship with anyone is dependent on your thoughts about them. That means that, in reality, our relationships are simply

How to Drink Less

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/08/20

Ever find yourself wishing you could just stop over-drinking? You don’t identify as an alcoholic, per se – your drinking habits may be affecting your body or brain power a bit negatively, but they’re not affecting the lives of others or those you love – and maybe you don’t want to quit cold turkey, you just want to...reign it in a little?I hear you. I’ve been there too. And it ain’t easy.When I quit drinking, so many of my friends changed.When I stopped over-drinking, it made me less easygoing – in

Cognitive Dissonance + How to Create New Beliefs

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/08/13

Cognitive dissonance. It’s one of those big, fancy scientific terms you may have heard before but only have a vague understanding of what it actually means when you really try to think about it.The official dictionary definition? Cognitive dissonance is “The state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change.”But in lay people's terms – and in terms of how to apply this concept to creating a life of freedom, adventure and

How to Quit Buffering

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/08/06

So many of us use (or have used) buffering as a way of tolerating things that aren’t acceptable in our lives.We use alcohol to make a boring party more fun. We use food to get rid of that anxious feeling in our stomach when we know our partner will respond with anger when we bring up a difficult topic. We use Netflix to distract ourselves from a stressful job that we hate.What’s underneath this is: you have something in your life that isn’t great, something in your life that doesn’t really work,

How to Expand Your Comfort Zone

Here’s a golden nugget of truth I’ve learned the hard way throughout my life: the more you have an aversion to discomfort, the more you actually suffer. It’s totally ironic, right?If all you did was stay in fancy places, if all you did was protect yourself from discomfort and everything was always temperature controlled and soft and tasty and nice...the minute shit went wrong, you would have a much stronger reaction to it than if you had practiced being with discomfort and reminded yourself that

How to Stop People Pleasing

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/07/23

One of the most common issues my clients come to me for coaching on is their tendency to people-please.On the one hand, we can feel good when we do things for other people. This is pure generosity and kindness.But with people-pleasing, doing things for other people is the MAIN source of joy and often comes at the expense of self-love and self-care. And the intention behind it stems from insecurity and fear.When we people please, we are not being authentic and living our truth. People pleasing leads
