GBG with Coach Jae Jenkins: Recent Episodes
Youth Advocate & Coach aka Mr. "Do It For You so You Can Do It For The Youth"
I help people live a more intentional life. By tapping into the creativity each of us uniquely possess, and building out a foundation of self awareness, I equip people with tools that can help along their own journey of this life. It is my belief that if more adults lived this way, we would be better able to model these behaviors to younger generations so that they can create a world that best suits them. With this podcast series, you can expect to receive some nuggets that you will find helpful, as we create opportunities for self discovery, reflection, and explore various topics.

With Thanksgiving hitting us tomorrow, I imagine a lot of us are looking forward to not only the food and the time with family and loved ones, but also being able to share what we are truly thankful for. I know at some of our gatherings, we will give space for everyone to say what they’re most thankful for. If you participate in this activity before, during, or after the meal, you’ll hear about some pretty amazing things, both big and small. And even more than that, I’m sure that just by hearing others share their gratitude and thankfulness, we all will walk away a little lighter in our spirits. So my question to you today is: How do we keep this thankfulness and gratitude going, even when we leave our respective gatherings? Take a listen...I think I have an idea

"When it comes to life, the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude." - G.K. Chesterton
It's still November, which means it's still National Gratitude Month! So this week, I'd like to offer up a guided meditation that can help us appreciate the little things in life. Remember, when we truly embrace gratitude, we can quickly shift our focus from the negative to the positive things in our lives. Learning to be grateful helps us appreciate the little things in life that we tend to take for granted, which in turn, brings about a deep feeling of satisfaction that fulfills and nourishes us. It is my belief that if we paint our lives with gratitude, our lives will become the masterpiece we truly desire to see.

As Halloween gives way to November, I automatically begin to think of Thanksgiving and while Thanksgiving is probably the most famous day of the month, did you know the the entire month of November is actually U.S. National Gratitude Month? So there's no need to hold back that gratitude until the 24th, let's get into all month...and hopefully, develop a consistent, deeper, and intentional practice of gratitude for the rest of our lives.

It says in Genesis, that we were "created in His image". And as my brother once told me, that would mean we were created in the image of the Ultimate Creator! Creativity is a quality that we all have buried inside of us, one way or the other. Some people’s creative abilities are closer to the surface and for others, expressing this creativity takes more time and cultivation. The important thing to note is that we can all be creative. We just have to take steps to extract it from within us. Listen to this episode for 4 things we all can do to bring forth our creativity more often.

So last week, we talked about taking back our breaks. And we discussed the benefits of a vacation, stay-cation, play-cation, and if nothing else, taking 5 minutes to ourselves to recalibrate. I have a friend that told me he struggled with taking those 5 minute breaks and jokingly, challenged me with an idea. This week's episode is a direct response to that challenge. While it starts off with some laughs, we get to some serious and very helpful stuff right around the 1:30 mark.
So in the words of some of the hottest producers ever, I present this week's episode, entitled: REMIX!!!!

"Its not that we have little time, but more that we waste a good deal of it" - Seneca
Time is such a valuable commodity, so we need to make sure that we use it carefully and intentionally. Careful and intentional use of our time means one thing -- TIME MANAGEMENT. The sad truth is that most of us who are really in need of time management rarely utilize it. Take a listen to today, as we break down a simple 4 step process for time management we appropriately call "T.I.M.E."

Talk to any successful entrepreneur, or any professional with a positive attitude, and you'll find one key trait in common: all of them have a unique mentality that allows them to handle challenges differently. Rather than seeing problems as burdensome forces of opposition, they see problems as opportunities--opportunities to learn, grow, improve, or adjust in a way that leaves them better off than before the problem existed. Today, we talk about a few things we need to do to SHIFTTT our mindset and adjust how we SEE problems. So I ask, WHAT DO YOU SEE?

Most people live lives of quiet desperation. Most people are filled with regret at the end of their lives. Leaving too many things undone…failing to live enthusiastically or authentically…or living with no defined purpose…these are all common regrets.

“Faith and fear both demand you believe in something you cannot see. You choose!”― Bob Proctor How many issues in our lives were created by fear? We might not think that our challenges are rooted in fear, but if we’re honest with ourselves, we’d probably realize that many of our obstacles are caused by fears and our inability to deal with them in an appropriate way. I want to offer up how commitment helps to move us in the direction we want to move in, while facing certain fears that sometimes leave us stuck!
