Jung On Purpose Podcast by CreativeMind

Do you find that some emotions are easier to deal with than others? In the personal development space there are two ways to deal with emotions. First, they may tell you to reframe the story or use your ‘emotional intelligence’ to deal with them. Or, you may hear that you should get rid of your negative emotions through healing or clearing them away.Recently, Debra heard an expert talk about emotions and giving the advice to not feel them, just ignore them and feel good. Just stop feeling bad! This type of glib advice can be very harmful long-term for your personal development. After all, life is about feeling a range of emotions.In this episode we talk about:The core emotions of guilt, shame and anger and how they are not negativeHow to work with emotions in a powerful wayThe Emotional Management Strategies that you learned early on and how they are still controlling your life unconsciouslyHow to feel all emotions and have more joy and lightness in your lifeEpisode Exercise:  Debra talks you through 'digesting' emotions by neutrally examining and experiencing them. ..........Join our private Facebook Group to participate in free group life coaching teachings for women and learn more about Emotional Wisdom from the Creative Mind Coaching perspective. Life Coaching Experts and Founders of Creative Mind Coaching, Debra Berndt Maldonado and Robert Maldonado, PhD, guide smart, dynamic, and spiritually-ambitious women through a proven process to uncover the authentic Self and live in true purpose, success and fulfillment.

Are we living in a computer-driven simulation? That seems like an impossible hypothesis to prove. But let's just look at how impossible that really is. For some machine to be able to conjure up our whole reality, it needs to be amazingly powerful, able to keep track of an incalculable number of variables. Consider the course of just one human lifetime, with all of the events it entails, all the materials, ideas and people that one interacts with throughout an average lifespan. Then multiply that by about a hundred billion souls that have graced this planet with their presence so far. The interactions between all these people, as well as the interactions between all the animals, plants, bacterium, planetary bodies, really all the elements we know and don't know to be a part of this world, is what constitutes the reality you encounter today.If you think this proposal sounds plausible, you would not be alone. Elon Musk and many others are fairly convinced we are just sophisticated self-aware computer programs or maybe even video games. Journalist PAUL RATNER wrote this about Reality vs. Simulation for BigThink. Debra and Rob take the subject further, exploring the concept from ancient and global spiritual and philosophical perspectives, including: The ancient teaching of Maya (the idea that the external world is an illusion) which translates to movement and magic and the impermanence of this reality. What is the apparent reality, the phenomenal universe, and the absolute reality. What is the difference between materialism of science and mysticism.Grab a cup of tea, open your mind and join us for a deep conversation on the nature of reality.Episode Exercise:  Pure Awareness.

Are you or someone you know asking, “Am I too old for love? Marriage? A meaningful relationship? My forever partner?” It may surprise you to know that many women, regardless of their actual chronological age, are asking themselves these questions. They are at a ‘certain age’ (in their own minds and belief systems) where they start measuring themselves against societal norms, family expectations, or peer pressure — whether they be Thirty-three or Seventy-three!  Many believe that they are falling behind all of their friends who have found their soulmates or who have gotten married and had children. Debra and Rob break down the reality of the matter and explore the age factor in finding true love.Discover what it means when you are feeling too old for loveLook at how you judge others with their age and their dating choices around ageFind out the psychology of attraction and why we seek younger peopleLearn about your shadow around age and be inspired to know that you are at the perfect adult age for great loveEpisode Exercise:  Embrace your age whatever it is and look at your triggers around age and beauty to help you reveal your shadow that is influencing your dating life.In our Love+Purpose Facebook Group, Debra Berndt Maldonado and Rob Maldonado, PhD — Relationship experts and Founders of Creative Mind Coaching — lead free micro-trainings for ambitious women who want to live their lives to the fullest.

The internet has given us so many gifts and ways to connect but it also comes with a dark side. We are more connected than ever but sometimes we feel bad when we spend too much time on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. The false persona that we present online can be confused with our real self and we can get caught up in identifying with our ego instead of our true spiritual self. In this episode we discuss the three main issues people have online that keep them from evolving:Comparing Themselves to Others – what others have and minimizing their own success compared to others in relationships, career and even how they look and age.Needing Attention – the need to be liked, literally, feeling bad when not enough people like your posts or comment on them. Feeling as if no one cares or that you are not popular enough or what you say is not important.Battles of Opinion – getting caught up in mini-battles about politics, religion, personal development or health opinions, especially with strangers. We look at the need to be right instead of having a healthy discussion and debate on important matters.Episode Exercise: What to do when you are triggered by someone online.Like and Follow us on Facebook to stay connected and get announcements about our Creative Mind Life Coach trainings and personal growth groups, events & programs.

Do you feel guilty saying “no” or do you allow others to make decisions for you and feel resentment? Many people think that lack of boundaries is an indicator of low self-esteem, but as social creatures, everyone has problems with boundaries. If you do not have the ability to set healthy boundaries in relationships you may just avoid relationships all together or just wait for someone to behave according to your rules without having to express yourself.We all act in relationships based on our past experience by default and that is how we learned to tolerate certain behaviors through example of the adults around us when we were young. This fixed mindset will only lead to the same type of relationship patterns. By setting and expressing boundaries, you get to use your Creative Mind to create your own path and example in how you want to be treated and how you treat yourself.  In this episode, Debra and Rob will lead you through an honest talk on boundaries in relationships and how to set boundaries to make you feel empowered. Take a quick assessment on how well you keep your boundariesUnderstand what are boundaries and why do we need them?The difference between physical and emotional boundariesExplore the Challenges you face when setting boundariesEpisode Exercise: Debra will give you an exercise to begin to address where boundaries are not being expressed and how to start setting them so you can be more empowered in relationships, have more self-respect and surround yourself with people who honor you.Share Your Thoughts with Us...•••Want to be a Certified Jungian Life Coach?
