Regular Guy Friday Ep. 33: The Hazards of Mental Time Travel & Beating Yourself Up After Life Does
Hey Kweenz, Regular Guys and Gals, we made it to yet another edition of Regular Guy Friday. We learn why beating yourself up after life beats you up, makes you a double loser. The real truth behind the Fonz's jumping of the shark on the old sitcom 'Happy Days' may inspire you. The real truth behind Clint Eastwood's falling short on his old films may also inspire you. On that note, there are two sides to every truth: a positive truth and a negative truth. Embrace and trust the former for success and beware the latter. Is the latter even true? Codependents adapt well, maybe too well. 47% of us engage in Mental Time Travel and it's proven to lead to unhappiness. These three steps will rewire the brain to disable mental time travel. These two minutes will create a new habit. This message, from Julie Chen to her 'Talk' co-hosts will get you through any difficult time. Kelsey may have Covid but she also has Jonas Brothers tickets....what? Remember Kweenz, 'You got this.' Stay #krisp. Bye Betches. #YouGotThis

Regular Guy Friday Ep. 32: Trevor Moawad May Have Left Us But His Incredible Life Lessons Live On
Hey Kweenz! Fooled 'em again, made it through another week and to another edition of Regular Guy Friday. Trevor Moawad, sports mental coach to the likes of @RusselWilson and @NickSaban, author of 'It Takes What It Takes', frequent BT guest and, most importantly, our dear friend, has passed away but his work, and love for people, lives on forever. Amongst dozens of lessons, Trevor taught us the benefits to remaining in a neutral state and that 'WE DON"T FORM HABITS. HABITS FORM US.'
When you're seriously ill, or one you love is, don't be afraid to open up to others. Be gracious in victory. Continue to ask the universe for answers and do not ignore the numbers. When one commits suicide it may be because no one saw them. Wayne Dyer and Albert Einstein believe for life to be beautiful and bountiful, it merely comes down to perception. It's good business for the news to relay dark information but most of the time it's none of YOUR business. Marie Forleo says to 'simplify to amplify. Complexities may be the true cause of our depression but simplifying takes time. Joe Gear says when talking to strangers to 'tell 'em nothing, feed 'em beans.' Often we engage in tasks that wear us down mentally and physically just to evade what's going on emotionally. This can form a habit (and lend further proof that habits DO form us - thanks again Trevor Moawad.).
Kelsey had her stomach Cat Scan aka 'Cat Scam' conducted by a Cat Scam Vampire no less ! YES Energy Vampires show up in the most random places, work alone and can make you physically ill. They're tough to repel BUT there are ways....
Patreon members, Maria's personal therapist (the amazing Brian Mahan!!!!) will be hosting a Heal Event on Monday.
We may be two Saturdays away from the launch of a new podcast, 'Christmas Specials and Spirits', to get you in the Holiday mood. Who knows we may even 'Slay for a Sleigh'. Till then, stay #krisp. Bye Betches.
