The Change Agents Podcast With Dr. James Rouse

A short and simple message to help you master the holidays with health and happiness. Practice these three things to maintain an optimistic mindset all year round!

Simple question – what story do you tell yourself most often in your life? Because what happens so often in life is that we fall prey to living in default mode. These stories that we learn early in our life become "the story" of our life. The history we allow ourselves to carry around becomes us. We are wired early on in our lives to begin a story and then tell ourselves the story every single day. It's time to emancipate ourselves from that old story and give ourselves permission to create the new, more powerful, more empowering story. Here's how to unpack the baggage you've been carrying around.

This is the kind of wake-up kind of love that requires a level of a warrior nature that is so deeply embedded in the heart that when you start to do it, I promise you, you won't be able to stop.

Begin and end with love.

Create space for love. Look at one another with soft eyes. Bring love into the world under the influence of Saddha.

Leaning All In. Shine your spiritual gangster side and become a better version of yourself.

Three things we can do to develop the number one leadership quality.

Pray and play and lighten up the way!

Become a social activist simply by shining your love light and smiling. Smiling helps reduce stress, reduce inflammation, and uplevels your life altogether. Smiling is a superpower.

Self actualization is all about growth, meaning, and fulfillment. It's landing in that space of grace where we are occupying and expressing our gifts and talents.

My prayer for you today is to become your best self. Be so busy working on improving and loving yourself that you have no time to criticize or judge others.

Life isn't about knowing how or what - it is about knowing your WHY and living from there. Working for your WHY. Loving for your WHY and living for your WHY.

Most of us are really good at loving others but when it comes to self love, we've run out. Here's how to turn that around and demonstrate a self love - love affair. The world needs our demonstrations. 

Let's look into the story of our lives as the Hero's Journey. Celebrate victories AND failures. Celebrate faith in life and our common humanity.

What does it look like when you're all in. Who are you when you are living "All In?" Think about your relationships. You encourage. You love. You make positive, healthy choices.
