2025 - Week 19 - Private Bubble

This is a podcast about managing your mind.

If you are new to the podcast, welcome and if you are listen regularly, thank you!

Life can be overwhelming. Many of us jump out of bed and we are off and running until we fall back into bed exhausted at the end of the day. During the day between emails, texts, phone calls, meetings, scheduling, errands and making decisions all day long, we rarely get to take a moment to ourselves. Listening to the radio or people talking about politics and the news can also send you into various emotional states.

I am very sensitive to sounds, loud noises and chatter. Well, most of life has all those things right? I am continuing to learn how to navigate through situations when I am around any of those things. Here’s the truth. If you are somewhere there will most likely be music, people talking or something going on that you cannot control, right?

So what is helpful to manage all this input that we can’t stop or control? I mean, if you are around people, they will likely be talking. lol

I do my best to stay in my own private bubble. Yep, that’s what I call it. I see myself surrounded by a protective white light inside a bubble. And in that bubble I do my very best to keep my energy contained and my thoughts focused on my desires. This is when using my breathwork and having affirmations, scriptures, favorite quotes or whatever you want to call them come in handy. I call them my Go To Phrases, GTP’s. I take a few deep breaths and I may start mentally saying any of these phrases or another one that comes to mind, depending on the situation I’m in:

• I feel safe and all is well in my world

• Things always work out for me

• I am in the right place at the right time with the right people doing the right thing.

• My timing is always divine

• I can’t wait to see how this will work out - that’s from my friend, Regenna

If we don’t stop ourselves we can easily end up on scary street, anxious avenue or down right depressed circle. It’s important that we learn to manage our thoughts then we can begin to manage our lives and feel like we are the ones creating what we desire. It is time we stop allowing our brain to hijack our lives.

As wonderful as our brain is, it is only as great as our direction. It is easy to become a creature of habit because that is what the brain loves to do. Our brain wants to take the same route to work, eat the same food for breakfast and chill. Scientists used to think the brain stopped growing at the age of 21. Now they know that the brain never stops growing. The brain wants to be guided, studies have proven that “a wandering mind is not a happy mind.” So WE have to guide our mind, and not just during meditation.

When we learn to train our brain, mind our mind, and pay attention to what we think about we are able to manage our lives in different ways. Simple things such as trying a new food, driving a different route home and learning a new language engages your brain and takes it away from its routine. When you do this consistently, the brain adapts. One way to train your brain is to practice affirmations. Affirmations are thoughts that you believe or desire to be true.
