  1. Our Own Hypocrisy

    2023. 01. 11.

    Our Own Hypocrisy

    Why do we contradict ourselves? Are we aware or willfully ignorant? Does awareness matter if we are causing harm? Are we using rhetoric to get what we want without any of the sacrifices it requires?  We don't know the answers to most of these questions but we offer up some possibilities.  The big takeaway from this episode is that hypocrisy is something that everyone does for one reason or another. We hope that listening to our discussion, you will reflect on your own life and determine why you live out of congruence with your morals and if you should take action to create more alignment.  Thanks again for stopping by and we hope you enjoy this episode of Expansive Minds.   Featured artist: Kevin K. Our very own Kevin K! Kevin K is an all around musician that loves jamming on the ukulele, guitar, and bass with the various objects around him becoming percussive instruments.  He does not have a method for distribution yet so email us at expansiveindspod@gmail.com and pressure him into sharing his talents with the world.

    The Benefits of Travel

    Why do we travel? Why is it such an invigorating experience? The novelty of new environments takes us out of the comforting and familiar grooves of our lives and thrusts us into a heightened awareness. You are present now. The mundanity of life is no more as you surrender your wellbeing to total strangers. Join us as we share some of the reasons we enjoy traveling, how we think it helps us become better humans, and of course how it expands our minds! Thanks again for stopping by and we hope you enjoy this episode of Expansive Minds.   Featured artist: Dylan Sadler A creative from Florida who produces his own sounds, creates NFTs, and whose photos are worthy of one of Emancipator's album covers.

    Habit Formation - Part 1

    Often times, we find ourselves in a position where we'd like to create, eliminate, or change the countless habits that can potentially define our lives. Maybe you're interested in finding new and enjoyable activities, or perhaps you want to get more serious about sticking to that schedule that could bring you more success and happiness. Whatever it might be, there are tons of ways for us to shift our behaviors in a largely formative manner.  As beings that are reflections of their surroundings and actions, it can be of supreme importance to pay close attention to how our habits impact our existence. Today, along with some beautiful tunes from musicians Ken & Rusty, we bring you the first part of our discussion detailing the many aspects of habit formation. We truly hope you enjoy this episode of Expansive Minds.    References: The Now Habit by Neil Fiore Ph.D. Atomic Habits by James Clear The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg https://dictionary.apa.org/gating https://www.brainpickings.org/2014/01/02/how-long-it-takes-to-form-a-new-habit/   Featured music: Ken & Rusty - Just Jammin' Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/user-980034970-797840795/sets/ken-rusty-just-jammin    Contact us: https://linktr.ee/ExpansiveMinds
