Mi365 Daily Intentions

The Power of Intention: Overcoming "Intention Attention Deficit" for a Fulfilling Life Episode Summary: In today's podcast, I delve into why our intentions are so crucial if we want to live a fulfilled, peaceful, and enjoyable life. While most of us are familiar with attention deficit disorder, I believe there's a related yet overlooked challenge I call *intention attention deficit*. In a world where nearly 1 billion people are struggling with mental health issues—whether it’s anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or loneliness—our ability to focus on what truly matters has weakened, leaving many feeling frazzled, scattered, and exhausted. Key Takeaways:   - What is Intention Attention Deficit?   I discuss the concept of intention attention deficit, explaining how our lack of focus on intentional, purpose-driven actions is contributing to widespread mental health challenges. This loss of intentionality in our daily lives often leads us to feel lost, overwhelmed, and disconnected. - The Impact of Lost Focus   Explore how the inability to concentrate and prioritize leads to feelings of stress and burnout, making it difficult to connect with a greater purpose. - Reclaiming Our Intentions for Inner Peace    Learn how to realign your intentions with who you are at your core. When we direct our attention to what truly fulfills us, we can cultivate a stronger sense of purpose and a deeper peace. - Practical Steps for Intentional Living   I’ll share actionable steps to harness your intentions, focusing your mind on the things that bring joy, peace, and satisfaction, and avoiding the trap of aimlessness that often leads to mental fatigue and discontent. Quote of the Episode: "Intentions are the foundation of a peaceful, purposeful life. When we focus our attention on living intentionally, we can transform not only our mental health but our entire experience of life." Tune in and get ready to be inspired by one of the most powerful episodes I’ve ever shared!

Guest: Liz Baron Cohen — acupuncturist, psychotherapist (transpersonal), Five Rhythms teacher, author, plant-medicine facilitator, trauma-informed therapist… and one of the kindest humans I know. Episode theme: How Liz is meeting a stage 4 ovarian cancer diagnosis with courage, curiosity, and a mission: to build a bridge between Western oncology and complementary care—and to reclaim joy along the way. Donate here: GoFundMe — Aliza’s Healing Journey Quick Take Liz spent her first year post-diagnosis pursuing non-medical routes; the tumours grew (didn’t spread). She then started chemotherapy—and feels stronger on it than expected. She’s fundraising to rent a home hyperbaric oxygen chamber (£1,300–£1,500/month; purchase can be £48k–£100k). Having it at home means daily use for Liz and opening her doors so local cancer patients who can’t afford clinic sessions (£150 each, ~3x/week) can benefit too. Core insight: it’s not “alternative versus” Western—it’s both/and. Let’s get the two worlds holding hands for patients. Deep work: reclaiming her name (“Elisa” = joy), learning to let love in, setting boundaries for empathy, and living for herself—beyond titles and roles. Listen Highlights (Chapters) 00:00 – Why this conversation matters; introducing Liz. 01:09 – Diagnosis (June; ~14 months in). What she tried first, and why. 03:14 – Starting chemo—and the surprise: “I actually feel really good on it.” 03:45 – Why hyperbaric oxygen? Costs of clinics vs. home rental; sharing access. 05:20 – Work on pause, reality of bills, and pouring inheritance into healing. 06:26 – Liz’s mum, a pioneer (70s aerobics, early whole-foods); family history. 07:27 – Chemo fears, misinformation, and nuance beyond Instagram hot takes. 08:31 – The dream: integrating complementary & Western medicine. 10:15 – BLISS in Notting Hill: a creative health centre (healing meets culture). 12:21 – Pete’s story about Hannah: “Draw Your Future” & envisioning outcomes. 13:30 – Liz’s north star: reclaiming joy (and what joy really is). 16:45 – Alignment: the projected self vs. the inner world. 17:52 – Radical generosity & being part of each other’s stories. 20:39 – “Alternative” vs. “complementary” and why labels get in the way. 21:43 – Hitting emotional bottom; grief, daily tears, and what moved through. 23:17 – The warrior in her; Jewish ancestry and survival threads. 24:22 – From fighting to surrendering; allowing support. 24:52 – The true cost: £150k+ spent; redefining luxury (to sit, walk, eat). 27:59 – Family constellations: restoring the flow of love in systems. 29:05 – Who am I without titles? Identity after stopping work. 33:14 – “When you’re ill you have one problem.” Perspective reset. 34:18 – “I can see the spirit in your eyes.” What that means to Liz. 35:20 – Spirit having a human experience? Indigenous circles & being heard. 38:00 – Realising spirit is there to help her, too. 39:07 – Why telling our stories matters (and stops sleepwalking). 40:12 – Sitting with the underdog; human connection as medicine. 41:49 – Trust issues, patriarchy, Western medicine—and choosing chemo. 43:26 – Chemo-sensitivity testing (~£5,000) and personalising treatment. 49:20 – “Empathy without boundaries is self-harm.” 51:08 – What the cancer taught her: joy, trust, letting love in. 52:13 – How to reach Liz & how we can help (together). 📝 Note: Timestamps are approximate to guide your skim & re-listens. Key Ideas & Quotes Both/And Healing: “The only people who suffer when the two worlds split are the patients. My dream is to get them holding hands.” Joy as a Practice: “My name, Elisa, means joy. I’m reclaiming my name.” Receiving Love: “I knew spirit existed to help others through me. I didn’t realise spirit existed to help me, too.” Boundaried Empathy: “Empathy without boundaries is self-harm.” Perspective: “When you’re well, you’ve a thousand problems; when you’re ill, you’ve one.” How You Can Help Liz (and Others) Donate to the Hyperbaric Fund: Help rent a home chamber so Liz can use it daily and offer sessions to local cancer patients who can’t afford clinic prices. Goal: cover a 6-month minimum rental (est. £1,300–£1,500/month).

Future Self is the person who you will be years from now. It is the person you intend to be. Do you know who your future self is, or better yet, have you decided who you are going to be in the future without thinking of any limitations? Is he or she a healthier, wealthier, happier, better person than you are today, or would he be the same as the person you are today, only physically older? Why is it important to know the person you are becoming and, more significantly, is it possible for you to have a relationship with your future self? If so, what good would it do? Tune in and let me inspire and show you how to be the person you have been eyeing to be, and realize the endless possibilities that you can have for yourself. Have a relationship with your future self and be the best person you can be, be the change the world wants you to be. Highlights: ⚡️ We are driven by pain and our view of the future and what we do today impacts tomorrow. ⚡️ When people identify with the person they want to become, they become that person. ⚡️ We must believe that our future self already exists and have a relationship with him and be guided by him. ⚡️ Failing to be the person you want to be results in depression, anxiety, and frustration. ⚡️ Reasons why most people are living a future they do not want: pursuing the ideals of somebody else and not who they want to become choosing exactly who they are today because that is who they think they are failing to prospect, losing the ability to be a free thinker, and not realizing the choices they have do not have a relationship with and empathy for their future self not getting in the game they do not see the benefit of doing something despite the challenges Important stories: 🎯 6:40. Meg Jay talks about the empathy gap 🎯 9:01 Hal Hershfield on future self as another person 🎯 10:47. Dr. Benjamin Hardy explains prospection 🎯 11:58 A conversation with my future self 🎯 15:22 Matthew McConaughey on who is my hero, chasing my hero (2013) 🎯 18:00 Daniel Goldstein discusses resisting temptation 🎯 22:20 Daniel Gilbert the ease of remembering vs difficulty of imagining 🎯 30:40 Jimmy Donaldson aka Mr. Beast as another example of someone who has a connection with his future self

In this profoundly honest and soul-stirring episode of the Mi365 Podcast, Pete Cohen is joined by spiritual teacher and lifelong golfer Paul Hurcomb for a deep dive into golf as a mirror for life. What begins as a chat about The Masters and favorite players quickly evolves into a powerful exploration of identity, ego, emotion, and personal transformation—through the lens of the game they both love. From childhood golf memories to elite performance coaching, Pete and Paul reveal how golf exposes our deepest thoughts, insecurities, and patterns, and how the game can be a tool for spiritual growth, presence, and healing.   In This Episode, You'll Discover: Why golf is unlike any other sport – and how it mirrors our internal world How golf reveals your emotional patterns, resistance, and unconscious beliefs The concept of "Conscious Golf" – playing from presence, not pressure How trauma and ego show up in performance (and in life) Pete’s raw reflections on grief, loss, and learning to stop The importance of letting go of outcome and playing from joy How to be with emotions like rejection, frustration, and fear The relationship between self-worth and performance What “the second before the swing” reveals about you Zen teachings, stillness, and what it means to truly listen Powerful Quotes: “Golf is like a mirror — it reflects your inner world back at you.” – Paul Hurcomb “Every round of golf is your life playing out over 18 holes.” – Pete Cohen “When ego is lost, universality exists.” – Tea bag wisdom (and now a life mantra) “Golf can’t give you peace. But it can show you where you’re not at peace.” “You don’t need a better plan. You need more discipline with the one you’ve got.” – Jack Nicklaus to Rory McIlroy “The ball doesn’t move. You do. That second before you swing… that’s the moment of Zen.” “There’s only one way in life — yours.” Who This Episode Is For: Golfers looking to connect deeper with the game (and themselves) Coaches, athletes, and performers navigating mindset and emotional regulation Anyone interested in mindfulness, self-inquiry, or conscious living Those processing grief, change, or a desire to stop and reflect Listeners ready to explore the longest journey – the one within Connect with Pete & Paul: Pete Cohen Website: petecohen.com Paul Hurcomb Conscious Golf Group (Facebook) – for golfers seeking deeper conversations and connection through golf www.meetingsinstillness.com www.Paulhurcomb.Org Call to Action: Loved this episode?

Pete reflects on the major stop moments in his life—from the unexpected meeting of his wife during a volcanic ash cloud in Croatia to facing profound loss with the passing of his wife, parents, and other life-altering experiences.

Are you living in survival mode without even realizing it? In this episode, Pete Cohen dives deep into how we can shift from constantly reacting to life’s demands to living with intention and design.

Episode Summary In this episode of Mi365, I dive deep into imposter syndrome—what it is, how it manifests, and most importantly, how we can break free from it. Despite our achievements, many of us still feel like we’re not good enough, that we don’t truly deserve success, or that we’ll be "found out" at any moment. But what if these thoughts weren’t facts? I share my own experiences with imposter syndrome, how it shaped my early years, and how I’ve been working to overcome it with the help of my coach, Dr. Ray Sylvester.

If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, perfectionism, or feeling like you don’t deserve your success—this episode is for you. Key Topics Discussed Understanding Imposter Syndrome The origins of imposter syndrome (first identified in 1978 by Dr. Pauline Clance & Dr. Suzanne Imes) Why high achievers often feel like frauds despite their success The impact of perfectionism, overworking, and avoiding new opportunities out of fear My Personal Journey with Imposter Syndrome How childhood experiences shaped my self-doubt The fear of being "found out" that followed me for years How the loss of my parents and wife forced me to finally stop and reflect How Imposter Syndrome Shows Up in Your Life Negative self-talk and the constant need for validation Struggling to accept compliments and downplaying success Feeling like your achievements are just luck rather than skill Breaking Free from Self-Doubt Why awareness, auditing, and acceptance are key to change How my work with Dr. Ray helped me uncover the deeper patterns behind my imposter syndrome The power of being present rather than living in survival mode An Invitation to Thrive The world keeps us distracted—how do we slow down and truly own our success?

Exploring Trauma and Healing with Dion Jensen Episode Summary In this powerful episode of Seriously, What Were You Thinking?, I sit down with Dion Jensen to discuss trauma, mental health, and the transformative power of nature and cultural connection. Dion shares his remarkable journey from a military and policing background through personal grief and transformation, offering profound insights into how energy, emotions, and healing are interconnected. Together, we explore the concept of "subconscious bodyguards" – the mechanisms that protect us from emotional pain – and how they can be reimagined to support healthier responses. We also discuss the stigma surrounding mental health, the complexities of trauma, and the importance of authentic relationships in recovery. This episode highlights the role of Maori cultural perspectives, nature, and practical tools for managing suicidal thoughts, with a focus on connection, love, and growth as the keys to overcoming life’s challenges.

“Liberation from oppressive and stressful external circumstances is essential, but that is only possible if we first liberate ourselves from the tyranny of our ingrained biology of belief.” - Gabor Maté Who are you? At a higher level, answering this question is a dilemma. It is not as simple as saying your name, because the real you are more than the label and circumstances you are in. Searching for your true self involves detaching yourself from the beliefs and ideas that society has imposed on you. How do you do this in a world that bombards you with insurmountable challenges and keeps you attached to status and material things?

“Plant seeds of happiness, hope, success, and love; it will come back to you in abundance, this is the law of nature.” - Steve Maraboli “Love makes the world go round,” this is a song that musicians like Deon Jackson, Bob Merrill, Jennifer Lopez, and others have used for their original creations, each one demonstrating the fact that love is indeed a powerful force.
