Special EP: Gratitude and Contentment in the New Paradigm
Surprise!It’s Wednesday and I’m here with an episode for you.The episode that follows is actually Episode 19, which originally aired this week last year. Even if you listened to it then, consider giving it another listen.One of the things that so fun about this New Paradigm, aside from all that it opens up for us and the freedom it has to offer, is that it flips our traditional ideas about how things work on their head.Gratitude is one of my favorite examples of that. Appreciation and giving thanks are things we do, yes. They are well worth doing.AND, they are far bigger than actions. They are our default. They are within us, waiting to be felt and found and discovered. They are what’s there when our conceptual mind quiets down.They are revealed, always there, within us.Enjoy this rerun of one of my favorite episodes and THANK YOU for listening. I am very grateful for you!And as another thank you…at the end of the episode you’ll get a special promo code to check out my new holiday course, A Brand New Experience of the Holidays: How to NOT Eat, Drink, or Spend your way into the New Year! So listen all the way through for that.I’m very grateful for you. xx The post Special EP: Gratitude and Contentment in the New Paradigm appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

EP71: Self-Sabotage and the Ways We Pout
“The way you do anything is the way you do everything.”That’s only true in terms of stories our mind tells. The way our mind talks about anything is the way it talks about everything. But we’re never locked into those stories.In this episode, we explore the stories minds tell when we’re feeling threatened or afraid. Self-sabotage is one of those stories.

EP70: Diane’s Change Story: How Two Words Changed Everything
Diane’s mind used to constantly ask ‘what if?’What if something bad happened?What if she felt anxious in public?What if it was too hot outside? What if it was too cold? And then she was introduced to a ‘what if?’ question on the other side of things. A ‘what if?’ question that pushed her imagination in the other direction.What if I do experience anxiety in public and I live through it? What if I don’t experience anxiety?What if it’s too hot or too cold and I don’t even notice?What if things don’t turn out the way I’m imagining them?What if I’m actually okay?It’s no exaggeration to say that the way this ‘what if?’ flipped things for Diane changed pretty much everything in her experience. She shares her transformation in the way only she can. Please listen this conversation with an incredible woman who came to see life very, very differently, all by asking ‘what if?’The post EP70: Diane’s Change Story: How Two Words Changed Everything appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

EP68: The Biggest Trap of All
There is one simple little misunderstanding that precedes most suffering. One simple little trap we tend to fall into, that leaves us confused and uncomfortable. The good news is that this trap is very changeable. Seeing it as a trap allows you to sidestep it much of the time. The other good news is that even when you do fall into this trap, you are inevitably bounced out. So, it’s not as dangerous as it sounds, but it’s still a trap you’d be wise to avoid when you can.

EP67: What Good is Innate Health when my Mind or Body are Broken?
It’s a great question, isn’t it?Who cares about our essence, our nature, our core, when your body has an illness? Or when your mind isn’t working the way it ‘should’, or when your life circumstances are the worst you can imagine?What good is innate health when everything that’s physical and human is falling apart?Well, here’s the thing: All the big stuff like love, connection, peace, creativity, even a sense of thriving…doesn’t come from your brain or body. These things are 100% available to you no matter what’s happening physically, psychologically, or circumstantially.They come from who you are beyond those things. That is innate health.I hope this episode deepens your understanding. I have a feeling it will.The post EP67: What Good is Innate Health when my Mind or Body are Broken? appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

EP66: Releasing What Is In The Way with Hale Dwoskin
If you’ve listened to Changeable, you know that what’s ultimately behind deep, lasting change is insight. Glimpsing truth beyond the appearance of things.Seeing something about who we are and how we work. Seeing it, sensing it, feeling it…not necessarily acting or “doing” our way there. The new paradigm looks far beyond our behaviors or any strategies or tools we might use.My guest in this episode is Hale Dwoskin. Hale is the co-founder of Sedona Training Associates where they teach The Sedona Method, a method for releasing painful thought and emotion.But painful thought and emotion releases itself, doesn’t it? Experience flows. Why would we need a method to release it?I ask Hale this question in the episode, and I think you’ll enjoy our conversation around it. Overall, Hale and I see things very similarly, despite some surface level differences.To learn more about Hale’s method and his free online event, go to: https://www.learningstrategies.com/ReleasingFestaj/home?aff=34269The post EP66: Releasing What Is In The Way with Hale Dwoskin appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

EP65: When Old Comforts No Longer Comfort
As we see ourselves and our experience in a brand new way, things that used to comfort us don’t in the same way. Old identities and plans no longer fit.That’s a beautiful thing! Old, limiting concepts are falling away.Although it’s a wonderful sign of change, it’s definitely not always comfortable. Listen in to hear how to navigate the uncharted waters of change with as much ease and security as possible.“One doesn’t discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time”—Andre Gide The post EP65: When Old Comforts No Longer Comfort appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

EP64: When Hard Things Happen with Teri Whiteman
Back in April, Teri had a major disappointment. It threw her for a loop.She went through all the feelings.She thought this disappointment shouldn’t affect her as much as it did. After all, she has this new paradigm understanding. What good was it if she was suffering this much?When Teri’s mind settled and she began to feel a little more like herself, she had some huge insights that I am excited for you to hear her share.There are so many common themes in the way we move through disappointment and grief. It is incredibly comforting to see how we are designed to bounce back from anything.The post EP64: When Hard Things Happen with Teri Whiteman appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

EP63: You don’t Have to be Okay with your Experience
I constantly hear people talking about how important it is to “be okay with” their experience.They want to accept what is. Be okay with. Feel a certain way about [fill in the blank].That looks like the ticket to freedom, the key to satisfaction, the way we experience peace.Except it’s not. Not really.What if there’s something better than being okay with your experience?What if how you feel about your experience isn’t up to you, and doesn’t actually matter at all?Perhaps you don’t have to be okay with your experience after all…The post EP63: You don’t Have to be Okay with your Experience appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.
