In this episode, CJ discusses the importance of monitoring our behaviors and beliefs. What can we learn about ourselves?
CJ shares his story of martyrdom. He noticed that he had surrounded himself with a world of need. He looked beneath the apparent belief of "I choose to help others" to understand how his behavior serves him. He urges the listener to look behind their belief system and ask themselves: what does this behavior give me? How does it serve me? He realizes the behavior might be based on insecurity and unworthiness.
CJ created a full-time job caring for others but realizes he is always at choice. He doesn't need to do anything to validate himself or justify his worth. Does he want to keep being a martyr? You don't need to validate yourself.
Change is a slow, gradual process. He decides to make one small change in his life: he will sell his indoor fish tank.
He removed his indoor fish tank to move his life in the right direction.
Do I still need to be the world's caregiver? CJ urges the listener to make one change in their life.
Finally, CJ reminds the listener to trust that Creative Intelligence/God cares for everything. Trust that Creative Intelligence is working for you and directing you.
Is there a behavior that you repeat automatically? Can you let it go? Let it out of your life. For more information, visit www.spiritualartisttoday.com.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
