Drastic reduction in suffering

Share this:

Drastic reduction in suffering  We are so quick to react and judge our immediate circumstances as good or bad. But, in order to really know what anything means, we would need to be able to see the future. When we judge the circumstances as bad, we get to suffer. A great antidote to this is […]

Nice vs Kind

Share this:

Nice vs Kind   Nice and kind are not synonyms. Nice is a surface quality while kindness comes from the heart. We can act nice while feeling the exact opposite. At times, acting nice can be the opposite of kindness. For example, let’s say that I ask you to listen to a new talk I’m […]

Don’t indulge

Share this:

Don’t indulge  A client of mine recently told me that she hears my voice in her head saying, “don’t indulge” when she’s tempted to fall into self-pity. Self-pity, or any other form of feeling lousy, is an indulgence. We don’t ever “have to” feel that way. We choose to. And when we choose to indulge […]

Time to reevaluate

Share this:

Time to reevaluate   I have been writing the Daily Dose of Jonathan for years now. And, almost every Dose has been written on the day it was sent out. My story for doing it this way rather than having them queued up in advance is that it honors my freedom and spontaneity. However, it […]

“just”

Share this:

“just”  Watch out for the word “just” in your thinking and speaking. It is an innocent enough sounding word that has tremendous power to undercut. It discounts, disempowers, trivializes, and makes us less than. Feel the difference between “it’s just me” and “it’s me”. Much Love, Jonathan Help me out please ~ if this Daily […]

Pursuing Joy

Share this:

Pursuing Joy  Pursuing joy in making phone calls. Pursuing joy in cleaning the kitchen. Pursuing joy in taking the kid to the dentist. Pursuing joy . . . We can pursue joy anywhere we go and in anything we do. We can also turn all those things into chores and then suffer our way through […]

It is your life and you are welcome to it

Share this:

It is your life and you are welcome to it  Years ago, a friend told me a story about what happened at a personal growth retreat that he attended. The leader was working with one guy. And, the guy deflected, contradicted, and disputed everything the leader tried to point out. Finally, the leader said, “I’m […]

Moving forwards

Share this:

Moving forwards    We cannot move forward while clinging to the past. Yes, we have all made non-ideal choices. Yes, we have all made mistakes. If I had a time machine, there are many things I would go back and do differently. And . . . this is all part of being a human. So, […]

Darth Vader’s less scary brother, Darth Cupcake

Share this:

Darth Vader’s less scary brother, Darth Cupcake  “Darth Vader” that just sounds tough, scary, and evil. The effect would not have been the same if they called him “Darth Cupcake”. That sounds silly, wimpy, and even emasculating. We can do ourselves a huge favor by giving disempowering, silly, or emasculating names to those characters in […]

How in the heck did pouting get started?

Share this:

How in the heck did pouting get started?  I’ve seen a lot of pouting lately, both adults and younger people. And all of these recent sightings have been at events that are fun. This got me to thinking about how weird and crazy us humans are sometimes. I know that I have never pouted myself […]
