    Zen Sammich Ep. #182 | How To Find Happiness By Letting Go

    Some rewards happen in a linear way - if you save up to buy a new car, eventually you will get there - but things that exist only in your mind (e.g., confidence, satisfaction and happiness) are paradoxical.


    The harder you try, the further away you become from your goal.

    Zen Sammich #181 | Embrace The Flinch

    What makes you flinch?

    A cold shower? The idea of starting your own business? Talking to someone you are attracted to? Walking away from a relationship?

    In this transformational episode, I challenge us all to embrace what scares us, knowing in our hearts that it is something we should do.

    Zen Sammich #180 | Being On The Universe’s Time

    Zen Sammich #180 | Being On The Universe’s Time

    "Let go of the way you would like things to go."
    - Andee Scarantino


    As your experience is happening, just be in it. That sounds easy enough, but why is it so difficult to do?


    Andee Scarantino returns to Zen Sammich and, of course, she doesn’t hold anything back.


    Her transparency is not only refreshing, it actually demonstrates the point she is making: To be WHEN you are more than who you think you are supposed to be.


    Check out Andee’s amazing writing at
    https://viewfromtheroof.substack.com/


    Or her coaching and classes at
    getthefuckoff.com,
    where you can “Change Your Life. Keep Your Personality.”

    Finding your "purpose" in life is a concept that is far too often misunderstood.

    How do we stop drifting? Well, the questions you ask yourself are of critical importance.

    Zen Sammich #177 | The Most Important Mental Exercise You Should Do

    Exercise is usually not much fun. Even when it IS enjoyable, it remains a challenge.



    The mental exercise contained within is something that EVERYONE should engage in.



    And just as form is significant during physical exercise, the WAY you do this one is critically important.
