The Quirky Guy: Recent Episodes
Jonathan Santana
Quirky as in peculiar or unexpected traits, thats me! My name is Jonathan Santana, on this podcast you will be able to dip your toes in discussions based around mental health and inner understanding with new and nontraditional vantage points. Why, would you want to do that? Because tradition is the basis of our internal operating system, however, like all living things tradition must continue to evolve in order to maintain life and purpose. All this sounding a little quirky? .....Yeah, I get that sometimes. Subscribe to follow the journey and continue your own personal evolution!
I received a few messages in regards to the last segment on creating a coherent plan of life.
I was asked "What needs to be included in my plan?"
There are 7 things that need to be taken into account when forming your Plan. In this segment I build on LIFE, our drive for self preservation while seeking the truth. This life long process continuously requires us to remain self determining, which is to be self-defining, self-naming and self-owning. While this step is usually very intimidating once it has been brought to light, we actually practice it daily only without much thought and intention.
Listen now to learn more about LIFE and its contribution to your coherent plan of life.

Society teaches, intentional or not, that how important you are and what you are worth is dependent on how many dollar your ATM receipt says. I will not argue that money does help but I will argue on how much it helps. It is difficult to quantify peace, joy and happiness therefore we do not make the attempt and just default to dollars. Someone can have financial and personal success and absolutely lack in the area of peace, joy and happiness.
We rob ourselves of our experience when we think less of ourselves and others based solely on financial status. Self worth is not measured by dollars, it is measured through your uniqueness. To manifest and bring your uniqueness to the physical world requires creativity, time and energy...not money. Click play now to learn more about self worth.
As normalcy is being disrupted by the Corona Virus it presents a valuable opportunity to learn. As a coach, I wont lie, I like to talk but I've been diligent to do more listening as the crisis has spread. I've been haring a change in priorities, confusion on who to help and stock up for, and lastly some eyebrows being raised as careers have been sidelined to slow the spread of disease. These focal points are not a coincidence, they are "topics" that pass through our thoughts daily but are rapidly sidelined and replaced by other distractions. The human race is experiencing a challenge that will affect us personally (micro level) as well as collectively as a race (macro level). Take the time to evaluate these 3 areas to come back to "normalcy" a better and more aware version of yourself.

Welcome to this new year, new decade!! Now that goal setting season is officially in full swing, we will take a dive into "goals".
Answer this:
What is the root of your goal? Meaning, what is the reason this goal, this pivot in direction is crossing your psyche?
This is where I do want you to get into your EGO, make your goals about you and your journey. Don't let yourself fall into the trap of setting your goals based off of what other people are doing or what other people think is important. This is where you focus on yourSELF and move in the direction you see fit. I introduce the 3 P's of goal setting that I learned from a former Navy Seal and share my take on how these 3 areas create the opportunity to learn more about YOU.

A new calendar year is approaching which can only mean the "goal setting season" is upon us!!
Don't get wrong, goals are awesome! We're just not always the best at seeing them through.
WHY? Glad you asked...
While there are a variety of reason why we don't see our goals through, in this podcast we are going to build on what I call the "perfect" phenomena. Striving for perfect sounds good in theory but we are cultivating a new tier of stress that is not necessary. Hit play to hear the 3 ways "perfect" keeps you from moving toward your goals.

A couple days ago during an interview we got into the H.E.A.D. Start program and forgot to share a little bit about myself. I just received the email asking for a little more information about me, so against my natural instinct I thought it would be a great opportunity to share with everyone since there are questions that come up from time to time. Of course, we still build on some educational points all the while getting to know me a little bit more. Please continue to send in your questions and comments so we can keep moving this mission forward.

Do you find yourself visioning what life will be like when you retire?
Yeah you're not alone!
All that "dreaming" then drives you to think, "How can I retire early?"
The thought of retiring early is not entirely bad, it does force you to expand your limiting beliefs and push out of your comfort zone. In this podcast I build on 3 perspectives that help you to gain more clarity on why you may be having these thoughts, how planning to retire early can hurt us and a new goal you should add when thinking about retiring early.

Go to work...earn money.....spend said money on "stuff". Sound familiar?
We are responsible for much of the stress we experience, one of the most common examples, over spending.
Over spending does not just include putting things on credit cards and spending more than we don't technically have at the moment but also buying things we don't really need and/or spending "just because".
The action of spending and having seems to always appear so innocent and irrelevant to our bigger picture which is why it can be so dangerous. Think about a cocktail that is super sweet and you can barely taste the alcohol, before you know it you're a little deeper than you realized. The cost of these actions feeds into a lot of financial stress, the kind that creates arguments internally leading to negative self thoughts and externally that can lead to arguments and frustration within households and relationships.
How can you work with the stress of having? Talk about it or in this case listen about it, click play to build on this topic and how it affects us so you can begin to increase your awareness on this secret attacker.
It's obvious to see that the mind and body are physically connected, however, vision only provides a piece of the puzzle! Maintaining the internal connection between the mind and body requires constant observation of how each are individually affected especially when faced with stress. Stress is a leading cause that disconnects the mind and body making it difficult to align the natural flow that exist internally. Todays podcast shares new and deeper awareness of the mind and body connection, all you have to do is click play!

Do you sometimes look at what's stressing you out and think to yourself that it's not worth stressing over? This realization can be a powerful moment, but does it really provide you with how or why you got to that point? For many, the answer is no.
We can get to the point of realizing that many stress factors do not have a purpose in life, but fail to realize that stress is caused because we don't have a purpose to keep us on the path of evolving. Through many conversations and research I've found that we have pretty skewed ideas of what having a purpose for our life looks like. Purpose seems to get the label of being too much work, too confusing and/or too uncomfortable to maintain. To be honest, purpose does create work, requires focus and actionable steps that take you outside of the norm.
The upside of having purpose to guide your daily movements greatly outweighs these fear driven thoughts of work, attention and vulnerability. Purpose provides the steady down beat to life that gives you a reference to gauge whats truly important versus whats a distraction. I build further on this topic in this podcast so jump in to the mix and realize how having a purpose can greatly reduce your stress.

Maybe I'm just getting old but things sure are a lot different these days. Never did it cross my mind growing up that I could be in real danger going to places like the mall or movies. We work very hard to suppress our stress and act cooler than the other side of the pillow but subconsciously that stress is alive and well.
So what do we do? Stay home? Carry a weapon to protect ourselves and our loved ones?
As quirky as it may seem, you can't under estimate the importance of having a plan for you and your community.
Unity is key, if you divide....well you've heard of the Fall of the Roman Empire, right!?
