  Ep 188: Chasing Security Is Counterintuitive

  Sep 1, 202628 minS1

  Why do we chase the idea of security? Where does the belief in a lack of security come from? Are we addressing the root consciously or the symptoms unconsciously? In our need for security, we dance the fine line between control and responsibility. Oftentimes, we try to over-control and mask it as responsibility. Whether the security we want is financial, health-related, or in relationships, ultimately, we want peace of mind. And peace of mind begins and ends with full acceptance of who we are. Is security a facade we are chasing? We’re all chasing peace of mind Reinforcing the belief that I’m not secure People are so used to using fear as the fuel We think that control creates security Being secure with who you are and how you operate The fear of not being financially secure is easily exploited ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

  Ep 187: Nostalgia Is A Gateway To Transformation

  Aug 25, 202628 minS1

  What are you nostalgic about? Is nostalgia simply a remembrance of the past? Maybe it is pointing to something missing in your current life. Are you living in a way that your future self will deem nostalgic? Are you feeling deeply every day? Deep emotions make memories nostalgic. Your nostalgic memories can be an access point to life transformation. Identifying the emotional value you received apart from the nostalgic events themselves can be life-changing.  Nostalgia is a bittersweet emotional state Is nostalgia a clue to glean something from the past? Can we purposely create nostalgia for the future? Spontaneous and ego-created nostalgia Curiosity around seemingly random memories Maybe there are feelings I want to create now for future nostalgia Cynicism stunts energy that fosters nostalgic experiences ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

  Ep 186: Alignment Part 2

  Aug 18, 202628 minS186

  Reflecting on alignment in any area of our lives is a complex practice. First, it requires self-alignment, being grounded in our intuition while exploring ideas in our minds (the ego’s playground). Then, we can reflect on our alignment with the people and objects in the external world. Furthermore, we can reflect on divine alignment, the acknowledgement and acceptance of our current circumstances. At the same time, the more we reflect, the more time and energy we spend in our minds. This can lead us into the ego’s trap because our attention is typically pulled away from our intuitive feelings. So, although we may convince ourselves that we are aligned, we may actually be misaligned. Alignment is an ongoing practice of listening to intuition and heart first and more often than logic. I can feel misalignment before I see it The ego’s mask of alignment The misalignment conundrum Seeing the divine alignment in your circumstances Choosing your North Star from a centered place Deciding on your core values Your upbringing isn’t necessarily aligned with who you really are Noticing micro misalignments Conflict and limitation with a core value ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

  Ep 185: O.F.G. August

  Aug 11, 202624 minS1

  O.F.G. means opportunities for growth. Every situation we experience presents a seemingly infinite number of growth opportunities towards becoming the highest version of ourselves. However, it is up to us to train our minds to identify the opportunities and to integrate our hearts in the process. In this series of episodes, Jeff and Tatsu share their thought processes and struggles when triggered by people and events in their lives.

  Ep 184: Alignment Part 1

  Aug 4, 202629 minS1

  In what ways are you misaligned internally? In what areas of your life do you notice misalignments? Misalignments start internally and project outward to impact all areas of life. What conditioning do you need to break free from? What else in your life needs to shift? The longer your misalignments continue, the more difficult life will appear to become. Get real with yourself and have the necessary conversations sooner rather than later. It takes courage and clarity to create alignment. It’s not about the thing, but how I’m relating to the thing. Alignment and misalignment start within us first A lot of people stay stuck with a bad option How much do you have to like something to generate something great? Creativity to see beyond what you’re seeing is huge Living from your truest self consistently is refreshing The tricky part of alignment and misalignment is the ego Have the conversations sooner rather than later Creating alignment with self-care routines ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi
