Keeping It Real: Advice For A Better Life

America, what are we doing? As an American, this past week was nothing short of an embarrassment. What happened does not accurately portray who we are as a country. It does not accurately portray the democracy that so many men and woman have sacrificed their lives for. It does not accurately portray all that we have worked so hard and long for - the freedom of all individuals.  Here's the thing, being an American and having the freedoms that we do is a privilege. Those who stormed the US Capitol are nothing but extremists who are brainwashed by someone who would turn our democracy into a dictatorship if they could.  As Americans, it's time that we come together, stand as one, come together unity regardless of our political views, gender, or race. We are Americans, and more importantly, we are humans. A political agenda should never be an excuse behind the loss of life.  Main Site:https://michael-bonnell.com/ Podcast: https://anchor.fm/s/5382778/podcast/rss Camera: https://amzn.to/33JCDCM RODECaster Pro: https://amzn.to/2R6L7Nl Microphones: https://amzn.to/3nsKMnj Lavelier Microphone: https://amzn.to/3jZB1u5 Shotgun Microphone: https://amzn.to/36Kv8NU

Let's face it, 2020 didn't quite do the way everybody was wanting. With the pandemic, economic struggles, social injustice, and everything else that seemed to slap us in the face, there were many excuses one could make for why 2020 was a challenge.  But for me personally, I actually managed to make a lot of progress in life, and as much as it pains me to say it, from a personal development aspect, 2020 was probably the best year of my life. I made more progress in 2020 than I ever have before in my life.  In today's podcast episode, I want to share with you some of the changes that I made in life and how I changed my perception to make 2020 the best year of my life. The best part is that I am only building off of the last year and know that 2021 is going to be even better.  If you are excited to make 2021 the best year of your life, I encourage you to listen to today's episode and put the past year behind you.

Americans, and the rest of the world, could be in for a tough winter. White House advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said that Americans should prepare for a harsh winter as the coronavirus is expected to surge due to cold weather and increased time indoors. “We need to hunker down and get through this fall and winter because it’s not going to be easy,” Fauci told Harvard Medical School on Sept. 10. That means Covid stress, Zoom happy hours, and bare shelves as the grocery store could once again become America’s reality. Combine that with the fact that we are going through a political election and both sides are exercising their rights to the extreme, and you have a recipe for disaster. But it doesn't have to be that way. There are things that you can do that will make a difference. Jeff Gardere, board-certified clinical psychologist and associate professor at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in New York City, says "Instead of approaching this with fear and trepidation and dread, we just need to prepare ourselves as much as possible." Despite experiencing endless amounts of change over the course of the last 8 months, the changes we need to make don't necessarily need to be as drastic. Here are some tangible tips that will help you maintain a positive and prepared mindset as the pandemic reaches into a new season.

Kindness is such a simple concept, but yet it is often overlooked despite being so very impactful. Kindness, this one word, has the power to truly make the world a better place by ending any and all pain and suffering. It can end the pain and suffering that comes from war, hunger, human rights violations, and injustice. And not only that, but it also has the power to drastically improve our own well-being as well as those who are closest to us. So what does it take to be kind? Actually, it takes less effort than you may think. Kindness is not something that demands tremendous amounts of hard work. It stems from the simple act of doing no harm to others. It is harder and takes more effort to harm or hate others than it does to practice kindness. So, how can being kind change your life? What are some of the benefits of being kinder to others? Here are 5 benefits of being kinder and how it can create a positive change in your life and in the lives of others. Being kind makes us happier. There is scientific research that proves that when you are kind to others, you are rewarded with boosts of dopamine, which is also known as the "feel good" chemical of the brain. When dopamine is produced, we experience a big surge of positive feelings. It's almost like a high and as though there isn't anything in the world that can bring you down. You are happy and nothing can stop you from feeling that way. Being kind improves our health When we are kind, we tend to hold onto less stress. As we all know, stress is one of the leading causes of heart disease. Think about that for a moment. Think about all those times where you have taken aspirin for pain. What would have happened if you would have just practiced kindness? How would your overall health be different - be better - if you would have practiced kindness? The fact that kindness is more powerful than a medicine is truly remarkable! The research found that those who regularly practice kindness also report lower blood pressure and suffer from depression less frequently. It is, though, important to know that being kind doesn’t mean we aren't going to have our goods days and our bad days. It just means that are good days will be more frequent and our bad days less frequent. Being kind improves our relationships Like attracts like. When you are kind to others, you will attract kinder individuals into your life. The relationships you have with others will be stronger, more meaningful, and much more enjoyable. Not only that, but the relationship you have with yourself will be so much better and so much stronger. Being kind can help us live longer Being kind is fun Resources: Main Site:https://michael-bonnell.com/ Podcast: https://anchor.fm/s/5382778/podcast/rss Camera: https://amzn.to/33JCDCM RODECaster Pro: https://amzn.to/2R6L7Nl Microphones: https://amzn.to/3nsKMnj Lavelier Microphone: https://amzn.to/3jZB1u5 Shotgun Microphone: https://amzn.to/36Kv8NU

What’s standing in your way of achieving your goals and your dreams? What's holding you back from taking that next step forward and living freely?  For many of us, the only thing that stops us from achieving our dreams and our goals is our own fear. Fear of failure, fear of the unknown, fear of judgment. We become our own worst enemy, doubting ourselves into paralysis. Life isn't ever going to be perfect, but there is only one way you are going to find success in your life - the only proven way to find success - and that's to just get started.  Imagine what your life could look like if you just got started, if you were able to overcome all of your fears of failure.  In this episode of The Journey To Living Freely, you will hear how other successful individuals made a name for themselves out of nothing, how successful people have found a way to overcome challenges, and how others have just gotten started to find the success they have endured over the course of their lives. When it comes to finding success in life, you need to just get started. Let go of your fears, give yourself the chance to succeed, don't overcomplicate the pathway to success, and above all else, just trust yourself and believe in all that you are capable of achieving.  It's time to master your life and overcome your fears!

On this episode of living freely, body shaming and overcoming negative self-talk is what we're doing to be talking about. Why do we idolize certain body types? Why are we criticizing people for being too skinny or too fat? Why do we tell others how to live their life? Don’t let what you see in the mirror become distorted by a socially constructed beauty ideal. We all have different ideas of what it means to be healthy. At the end of the day, health and beauty are a state of mind.  As someone who listened to others body shame me, my best recommendation for you would to just be you, and be the best you that you can be. Others have already taken enough of your life away from you, why let them take any more? Let’s embrace what we have, and work with what we have. PUSH PLAY! Worry about yourself; love yourself for the amazing person you are, and do what you can do to make the world a better place for everyone.
