In this episode we discuss toxic positivity. Toxic positivity is the culture of portraying yourself as being happy no matter what. It's also the idea of encouraging people to always see the bright side, and not open up about anything bad. We talk about how this attitude can be detrimental to growth and how it has gotten worse with the advent of social media.  We also talk a little about how you can use your negative thinking as information in to what you need to improve.  Finally, Soul Builder LIVE is right around the corner!

Dr. Nisha Manek will blow you away with the scientific evidence that our Intention has a direct affect on our health and our environment around us. In other words, your consciousness changes physical matter, so whatever you want, you can create it! Maybe that idea isn't new to you, but in this episode, you'll hear how science is now coming to prove that you can accomplish anything, no matter what your history has been.  Enjoy!  About Nisha:  Nisha Manek is an alumnus of Mayo Clinic’s Division of Rheumatology and an internationally recognized leader of Integrative Medicine.

Often people think they have to make massive changes in a short amount of time in order to create radically different results in their lives, but the research shows that’s just not the case! The truth is that it’s the little things done consistently over time that produce the greatest change in our lives.  In this episode, we’ll break down how you can implement “the compound effect” into your life and how to develop the discipline to stick to what you say you’re going to do. It’s never easy to do at first, but it’s always worth it. Books referenced: The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy Finally, Soul Builder LIVE is right around the corner!

The last installment of our 6 part series on the Mental Faculties! In this episode we talk about Perception.  Perception at first glance is the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses. What we are talking about though here is our spiritual capacity to use perception to interpret and place meaning on events, situations, and circumstances of our lives.  We are all using this mental faculty on a day to day basis. When you learn to use this faculty to your advantage, you begin to find the seeds of opportunity in all of your adversities.  As always, please check out the first 5 episodes of this 6 part series. Enjoy! Finally, Soul Builder LIVE is right around the corner!

Reason is what gives us the ability to really think, to be consciously aware of the thoughts and ideas that come to our mind, and to choose to reject or accept them into our reality. Most of us use our faculty of Reason to justify circumstances or situations in our life that keep us stuck. When we access "Spiritual Reasoning" or "Extraordinary Reasoning" we begin to ask different questions and use different logic to allow us to live in a more expansive way.

This episode continues our 6 part series on the 6 mental faculties! On today's episode we discuss Memory. This is an interesting one because we talk about memory in a way you may not have thought you could use it before: memorizing a future feeling.  You see, memory is an important evolutionary tool we use to remember things that cause us pain and pleasure. We can use this tool to help us memorize a future self we'd love to work towards to help us decide what thoughts need to have and what actions we need to take today. We hope you enjoy this episode!

The first of 6 parts of our "6 Mental Faculties" series. If you haven't checked out the intro episode last week, I suggest you do that! Imagination allows us to move between our spiritual infinite side of our nature and our human finite side of our nature thinking up a reality for ourselves that is different than the current one we live in. This is a powerful mental faculty that most of us use to torment ourself.  How many times have you allowed your anxiety about the future fixate your mind on a reality you didn't wish to bring about? How much of your present moment have you spent worrying, procrastinating, or regretting the past? These are examples of using imagination against you.  In this episode we introduce the faculty of imagination and discuss how you can use it to dream up a vision for your life. Everything is created twice. Imagination is the starting point to transcending your current experience.  Finally, Soul Builder LIVE is right around the corner!
