    28. An Examined Life

    28. An Examined Life

    With the New Year upon us, many of us have embarked on the old tradition of setting New Years Resolutions. We do a little inventory on our lives and determine to change what we don’t like about ourselves, our behaviors or environment. We’ll try to ad that which is missing, or subtract that which is useless or harmful in one way or another. In general, I think this self reflection a good thing to do. But why limit it to just once a year?

    27. A Christmas Story

    27. A Christmas Story

    Lo and behold, Santa delivered this episode directly to your device while you were sleeping! What a sneaky and jolly good fellow.
    Christmas itself has changed more than my opinions about it. As I get older, and now have a child of my own, my relationship to this holiday continues to change.

    26. Cannabinoid Android

    26. Cannabinoid Android

    I couldn't decide what to title this episode so as not to give it all away. There were several good title contenders: Doobie Dilemma, Doobie Dunce, Kush Core, Cannabis Coma, Cannabis Creep, Cannabis Corpse, Moderate Mary, From  Mary to Buddha, Taking the Bud out of Buddha etc. the list could go on and on. Ultimately, I decided on Cannabinoid Android for the reference to the Radiohead song 'Paranoid Android', which I love. 
    In this episode I discuss some of the things which have been both a help and a hindrance to me over the years and what I plan to do about it.
    Stay to the end, I've got something new up my sleeve.

    25. The Great Reemergence

    25. The Great Reemergence

    The big news is revealed. Plus, how do you pull yourself out of a creative funk? What have I been doing since my last recording? 
    Just the act of freely expressing oneself, even if only to oneself, is extremely liberating. If you stick with it until the steam subsides, you just might get to the root of the issue.

    24. Three Years

    24. Three Years

    Recorded on August 3, 2023, the third anniversary of the podcast. This episode sat untouched for nearly 4 months before I edited it. This episode is a bit of a three year recap, some things I've noticed, learned, and would like to change. Why has it taken 3 and a half months to edit this episode? We'll talk about that in Episode 25. Stay tuned.

EduardoCano ,

Give it a shot.

If you’re looking for help dealing with everyday stress and anxiety, or if you want to learn to control or understand your feelings then this is the podcast for you! This is my first attempt at practicing mindfulness. I tend to react quickly and without thought which has gotten me in trouble many times before. I decided to make a change because I was tired of being in my head all the time and letting even small things get to me. This podcast is great for someone like myself who has zero creativity because the simple prompts make it easy for me to open my mind and see things in a new light. I am excited to keep learning from Another Finger and hope to make the most out of the content by continually applying the concepts in my every day life.
