The Jim Fortin Podcast

Start Your Transformation NowIn this episode, we continue exploring the complex and often misunderstood topic of addictions. Building on the previous episode, I delve deeper into how these addictions, both chemical and non-chemical, can impact our lives, our bodies, and even our sleep.Addictions aren’t just about substances like alcohol or drugs; they also manifest as mental habits—patterns of behavior and thought that hold us back from evolving. Anger, self-pity, worry—these, too, are forms of addiction, keeping us trapped in a cycle that prevents us from growing. Don Xavier has always emphasized that our greatest power is choice. It's essential to recognize the choices we make every day, especially those that lead us to negative or destructive habits.I discuss how our bodies are constantly renewing themselves, yet we sabotage this natural healing process through our addictions. Whether it’s a physical addiction to a substance or a mental addiction to a negative emotion, these patterns impede our growth and evolution. It’s crucial to understand that even though we may feel stuck, we always have the power to make a different choice.We also touch on the concept of how our mental state before sleep can influence our subconscious mind during dream time. The worries and fears we take to bed with us can become like a virus, affecting not only our sleep but also our ability to access higher consciousness and awareness.Listen and enjoy!Transformational Takeaway: Recognize the addictions that are holding you back and make the conscious decision to cultivate positive habits that support your growth and evolution. Establish unbreakable standards for yourself—commitments that you will not compromise on, no matter what. By exercising your will, not just your willpower, you can break free from negative patterns and align your life with your highest potentialMentioned Resources:Join the Get Unstuck ChallengeEPISODE 332: Conversations with a Sorcerer: Your AddictionsLet's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowIn this episode, we delve into a powerful discussion on the various forms of addictions inspired by conversations with my brother-in-law, Don Xavier, a shaman known for blending ancient wisdom with modern insights. This isn’t just about substance abuse; it’s about the subtle, often unnoticed addictions that influence our daily lives—addictions to emotions, behaviors, and mindsets.We often think of addiction as something external, like alcohol or gambling, but everyone has their own set of addictions. Whether it’s being stuck in a cycle of anger, constantly seeking validation, or habitually worrying, these patterns control us in ways we may not even realize.Don Xavier uses the metaphor of gunpowder to describe how we store these emotions inside us, waiting for a trigger to set them off. It’s easy to blame external circumstances for lighting the fuse, but the truth is that the gunpowder—our reactive emotions—is already within us. This episode challenges you to look inward and recognize your own triggers and habitual reactions.One of the key insights shared is the power of choice. Even though our habits are deeply ingrained, we still have the ability to choose how we respond to situations. It’s in these moments of choice that real transformation begins. Recognizing that our reactions are often just addictions in disguise can help us start to break free from them.Listen and enjoy!Transformational Takeaway: Know yourself from the higher aspect of you. Recognize the addictions—whether emotional, behavioral, or societal—that are holding you back. Choose only those addictions that serve your growth and well-being, and consciously work to align your actions with your true essence.Mentioned Resources:Join the Get Unstuck ChallengeLet's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowIn this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the transformative practice of scripting the life of your dreams. Much like a director scripts a film to ensure each scene aligns perfectly with the intended narrative, you can apply the same meticulous planning to the unfolding of your life. This method isn’t about wishful thinking; it's about defining your aspirations with precision and setting a clear path to achieve them.We start by exploring the power of clear visualization. Just as a screenwriter visualizes the unfolding of a plot, scripting your life requires you to envision your desired outcomes vividly. I share a personal story from 1998, demonstrating how I unintentionally discovered the effectiveness of scripting. Living on the Upper East Side of New York, I desired a change to the more vibrant Upper West Side. By scripting this move—detailing not just the location but also the qualities of my ideal environment—I set in motion the universe’s capacity to align with my desires.The episode outlines the steps to effective life scripting. First, define your goals clearly and write them down as if they are currently happening. This act of writing not only sets your intentions but also aligns your emotional and psychological energies with your goals. It’s about turning passive desires into active manifestations.We also discuss the importance of detachment from outcomes. While it may seem counterintuitive, maintaining a non-attached stance avoids the tension and anxiety that can repel your desired outcomes. Instead, it’s about expressing your desires while remaining open to the universe’s plan for how these desires unfold.Listen and enjoy!Transformational Takeaway: Scripting your life equips you to not just dream about your ideal future but actively participate in its creation. By setting clear intentions and regularly reinforcing them, you engage the universe in a dialogue that transforms your aspirations into reality. This practice helps you navigate life with the confidence of a director who knows exactly how the story should unfold.Mentioned Resources:Join the Get Unstuck ChallengeIt Works (1926) by RHJLet's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowIn this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into an enriching dialogue about cosmic awakenings that extend beyond our planet, influencing a significant shift in consciousness across galaxies. Drawing on notes from a profound past discussion with my brother-in-law, Don Xavier, a respected shaman, we explore the intricate dynamics of human evolution and the impending transitions from traditional 3D realities to expansive 5D perspectives.The episode unravels the limitations of our physical senses and opens up the potential of our spiritual senses, which align with the universal currents of change. I share insights from Don Xavier on the broader implications of this awakening, not just on Earth but also across multiple dimensions, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all beings in the cosmos.As humanity stands at a pivotal threshold, we discuss the challenges and opportunities of evolving consciousness within the species. The conversation covers the evolution of human thought and spirit, highlighting the shift from old paradigms rooted in the physical, material world to new paradigms that embrace multi-sensory and metaphysical realities.Listen, apply, and enjoy!Transformational Takeaway: In this period of global upheaval and change, understanding our place and purpose is crucial. This episode challenges you to reflect on your personal evolution and how you can contribute to the collective growth of humanity. Are you adapting to the new energies and realities, or are you resisting the changes that are unfolding? The key to thriving in these transformative times is to align with the evolutionary currents and embrace our potential for profound spiritual growth.Mentioned Resources:Join the Get Unstuck ChallengeEPISODE 322: Conversations with a SorcererEpisode 1: Transforming Your Life From The Inside OutLet's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowIn this compelling episode, we delve into a transformative concept: shifting from believing in oneself to truly knowing oneself. While society and countless motivational speakers have long preached the importance of belief as the cornerstone of personal achievement, this episode challenges that paradigm by advocating for a deeper, more profound understanding of oneself.The discussion begins by dissecting the inherent limitations of belief, which is frequently tethered to past experiences and can restrict our potential to transcend previous achievements. The notion of belief, as commonly understood, is bound by the constraints of our past, making it difficult to envisage or realize possibilities beyond our established experiences.Instead, knowing oneself offers an escape from these constraints, facilitating a direct connection with universal truths and expansive potential. This episode argues that such self-knowledge does not merely enhance personal power but aligns us more closely with the fundamental workings of the universe, as hinted at in the teachings of St. Germain. According to St. Germain, true understanding of the universe's mechanics renders the concept of miracles obsolete, as what we perceive as miracles are merely natural outcomes in a universe fully understood.We explore how embracing the present moment—as the sole point of creation—allows us to break free from the shackles of our historical narratives. The discussion emphasizes that knowing oneself as an integral part of universal consciousness liberates us from the need for external validation and belief-based limitations.Listen and enjoy!Transformational Takeaway: By shifting our focus from believing to knowing, we tap into our true power as part of the universal consciousness. This profound understanding allows us to seize the opportunities of each moment without being hindered by past constraints or the illusory need for external validation. Embrace the profound truth that knowing yourself deeply transcends any belief you could ever have about yourself.Mentioned Resources:Join the Get Unstuck ChallengeThe Magic of Believing: The Classic Guide to Unlocking the Power of Your Mind by Claude M.

Start Your Transformation NowIn this concise yet enlightening episode, we dive into the concept of “The Universe Smells You.” This metaphorical exploration delves into how our personal energy influences the way the universe interacts with us, akin to how one might react to another person's body odor—drawing closer with pleasant scents and recoiling from unpleasant ones.Throughout this discussion, I share insights into how our energetic ‘scent'—whether of desperation, abundance, or neutrality—dictates the experiences and outcomes we attract in our lives. We often focus on the external appearances of success and happiness, yet it's the underlying energy we emit that truly shapes our reality. This episode challenges you to consider the energy you're projecting and how it aligns with the results you're experiencing.Drawing on personal anecdotes and professional experiences, particularly from a challenging time during a prolonged home renovation, I reflect on how external pressures can squeeze us, revealing our true energetic nature. Just like squeezing an orange yields juice, life's pressures reveal our innermost energies—whether they are positive or negative.Listen and enjoy!Transformational Takeaway: When life puts pressure on you, what comes out? This episode encourages you to reflect on the ‘scent’ you give off to the universe and how it mirrors back in the form of life experiences. By understanding and adjusting our internal energies, we can better align with the universe to create the realities we desire.Mentioned Resources:Get Unstuck ChallengeEpisode 1: Transforming Your Life From The Inside OutLet's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowIn this inspiring episode, we explore the concept of “Reinventing Your Reality.” If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle, repeating the same patterns and outcomes in life—whether in your finances, relationships, or health—this discussion is tailored for you. Drawing insights from a recent conversation with Gary Zukav, we delve into the profound implications of the double slit experiment and how it relates to our everyday lives.The story of Christopher Columbus and the natives who couldn't initially see his ships illustrates a powerful point: our reality is shaped by our expectations and experiences. Just as the natives couldn't perceive the ships until their shaman pointed them out, we often fail to see new opportunities and possibilities that surround us simply because they lie outside our current realm of understanding.This episode challenges you to break free from the confines of your habitual observations and expectations. By altering where we direct our focus—shifting from our current perceptions to envisioning the reality we desire—we can begin to manifest a new and enriching life. This process of reinvention isn't just about change; it's about transformation at the most personal and profound level.Listen and enjoy!Transformational Takeaway: Reinvent your reality by shifting your focus from what is to what could be. Embrace the power of observation to mold and shape your life’s path. This is not merely an exercise in hopeful thinking but a practical application of how we can actively reshape our reality. As you listen to this episode, consider what aspects of your life are ripe for reinvention and start observing them as you wish them to be, not merely as they are.Mentioned Resources:Register for the Be Do Have® training seriesDR.

Start Your Transformation NowIn this thought-provoking episode, we dive into the complexities of self-sabotage and its profound impact on our ability to realize our dream life. Have you ever considered how different your life could be if you embraced your biggest challenges? Imagine the richness, health, and joy you could experience if you dismantled the self-imposed barriers that prevent these achievements.We explore the common resistance to change—even when opportunities for significant improvement are presented on a silver platter. Is this resistance actually a form of self-sabotage? Through a detailed discussion, we uncover how subtly we prevent ourselves from embracing potential growth and transformation, often without even realizing it.The conversation navigates through the five primary reasons many of us fail to invite change: fear, uncertainty, lack of responsibility, skepticism, and the comfort found in convenience. Each of these elements plays a crucial role in maintaining the status quo, keeping us in a loop of dissatisfaction and unfulfilled potential.Throughout this episode, insights from my brother-in-law, Don Xavier, a shaman deeply connected with spiritual wisdom, highlight the psychological and spiritual dimensions of resistance. His perspectives shed light on why we often opt for the uncomfortable familiarity of our current limitations over the transformative potential of new experiences.Listen, apply, enjoy!Transformational Takeaway: By identifying and understanding the five barriers—fear, uncertainty, responsibility, skepticism, and convenience—you can start to dismantle these self-imposed limits. Acknowledging these obstacles is the first step towards profound personal growth. Implement a daily practice of facing one small fear or uncertainty and gradually increase your tolerance for discomfort. This practice will not only help you conquer these barriers but also empower you to lead a life aligned with your deepest desires and highest aspirations.Mentioned Resources:Register for the Be Do Have® training seriesMany Lives, Many Masters: The True Story of a Prominent Psychiatrist, His Young Patient, and the Past-Life Therapy That Changed Both Their Lives by Brian L.

Start Your Transformation NowMy statement, “You are the ultimate power in the universe,” seems like the exaggeration of a lifetime, right? I mean, can you even fathom that you actually are the ultimate power in the universe?If you cannot, no worries; most of us cannot. In this episode, I want to take you on a journey to understand that you are indeed the ultimate power. To think differently is to demonstrate a lack of understanding about the true nature and essence of your being.In this episode, I first explore the difference between thinking about your existence deductively and then inductively. We start by looking at your life from a higher perspective. Then, we move on to viewing your life in the here and now from this elevated viewpoint.Next, I provide you with four sentences to live by, and these sentences are the cosmic truth about you. They reflect the true nature and power within you, and when you absorb their truth, everything starts to change for you. You begin reclaiming the power you gave up to society and social indoctrination when you incarnated onto this planet.I'm not going to give you the four sentences here. I want you to hear them, listen to them, and absorb them. So, you have to listen to the episode to discover what they are. I promise that investing 30 minutes to discover these sentences is absolutely worth your time.In my opinion, this is one of the most powerful episodes I have ever created. I am passionate about it and know it can help you expand and evolve your consciousness.Listen, apply, enjoy!Transformational Takeaway: Embrace the four cosmic truths revealed in this episode as daily affirmations. By consciously incorporating these truths into your daily reflections and actions, you begin to unlock and reclaim the incredible power that has always been yours. This practice helps you break free from societal constraints and recognize your true potential as the ultimate power in the universe. Dedicate time each day to this practice and observe the profound changes in your perception of yourself and your capabilities.Mentioned Resources:Register for the Be Do Have® training seriesEpisode 1: Transforming Your Life From The Inside OutLet's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowIn this episode, we delve into the significant distinction between living a path with heart and merely existing or marking time until death. Many of us find ourselves caught in the routines of daily life, trapped in obligations, bound by debt, societal expectations, and the conditioning we've received since childhood. We explore the essential question: Why are you here at this time on the planet?Throughout our conversation, we dive deeper into the importance of aligning our lives with our soul's intentions rather than pursuing superficial external achievements. By focusing on our true purpose and spiritual growth rather than fleeting materialistic gains like status, money, or power, we can profoundly transform our experiences and fulfill our life's mission.We also reflect on the enlightening conversations with my brother-in-law, Don Xavier, a true shaman. His deep spiritual insights and genuine connection to the spiritual realms have not only enriched my understanding but also opened new pathways to spiritual awakening. Don Xavier's teachings underscore the significance of spiritual authenticity and the impact it has on our personal evolution.The episode challenges you to assess whether you are merely passing time until death or actively engaging in a life filled with passion and purpose. It's a prompt to recognize that living a fulfilling life isn't about accumulating wealth or status but about nurturing a soul-driven existence that transcends the physical and enriches our spiritual journey.Listen, apply, enjoy!Transformational Takeaway: By questioning how deeply we connect with our path, we can navigate our lives with intention and profound heart, ensuring that our time here is not only well spent but deeply fulfilling. To embody this, regularly reflect on whether your daily actions align with your core values and the legacy you wish to create. This mindful practice will help you make more meaningful decisions and lead a life that truly resonates with your soul’s purpose.Mentioned Resources:Join the Transformational Coaching ProgramConversations With God by Neale Donald WalschThe Seat Of The Soul: An Inspiring Vision of Humanity’s Spiritual Destiny by Gary ZukavMany Lives, Many Masters: The True Story of a Prominent Psychiatrist, His Young Patient, and the Past-Life Therapy That Changed Both Their Lives by Brian L.
