In this episode of Shields Down, we explore a topic often overlooked but crucial for first responders: self-care. Serving on the front lines of high-stress situations takes a toll on mental, emotional, and physical health. But prioritizing self-care isn't just about staying afloat—it's about thriving in a demanding profession.
We'll delve into why self-care is essential for longevity in service, address the stigma around taking time for yourself, and provide practical tips for incorporating self-care into daily routines. Whether you're battling burnout or just looking to maintain balance, this episode is packed with actionable insights.
Learn how prioritizing self-care is key to preventing burnout and compassion fatigue. We'll discuss how small actions can have a big impact on performance and well-being, and why embracing self-care builds resilience.
In many first responder professions, self-care can be seen as a sign of weakness. We challenge that myth by highlighting how taking care of yourself enables you to better serve others and avoid long-term stress-related conditions.
Self-care doesn't have to be a time-consuming process. We’ll share tips on simple practices—mindfulness, nutrition, physical activity, and setting boundaries—that can be seamlessly integrated into your daily life to support mental and physical health.
We wrap up the episode with a simple exercise: a daily self-care check-in. This reflective practice will help you stay accountable to your well-being and make small adjustments to better manage stress and care for yourself.
Tune in to learn how to prioritize yourself so you can continue to serve others with strength, resilience, and heart.

In this episode of Shields Down, we explore the vital role of post-shift rituals for first responders, offering practical tips and mental health strategies to help you transition from the intensity of your work to the calm of your personal life.
Topic 1: Creating a Post-Shift Ritual for Mental Reset
In this segment, we discuss the importance of establishing a routine that signals the end of your shift and helps you mentally switch gears from "work mode" to "home mode." Whether it's changing clothes, listening to calming music, or engaging in sensory cues like lighting a candle, these small rituals can create a mental reset, improve your emotional well-being, and help you leave the stress of the day behind.
Topic 2: Compartmentalizing Without Suppressing Emotions
Compartmentalizing is key to maintaining mental health while on the job, but it's important not to confuse this with emotional suppression. We'll guide you through how to acknowledge your emotions without letting them dominate your personal time, allowing space for emotional processing when appropriate while protecting your mental health.
Topic 3: Reframing Difficult Moments as Learning Opportunities
After tough shifts, it’s easy to focus on the negative. In this section, we’ll show you how to shift your mindset by reframing difficult experiences as opportunities for growth. By asking, "What can I learn from this?" you'll reduce the emotional weight of the day and transition more smoothly into your personal life, building resilience and emotional clarity.
Topic 4: Post-Shift Reflection Exercise
We’ll wrap up the episode with a simple 5-minute reflection exercise designed to help you process your day and create a mental closure between work and home. By reflecting on what went well, the challenges you faced, and what you can let go of, you'll set the stage for a peaceful transition into your personal time.
Join us as we uncover practical strategies to help first responders prioritize mental wellness and build resilience after the shift ends.

Furthermore, we highlight the importance of strengthening interpersonal relationships through empathy and social awareness, emphasizing how improved communication with colleagues, superiors, and loved ones creates a supportive network essential for effective PTSD recovery.

In this enlightening episode of the Shields Down, we explore the transformative concept of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) and its profound impact on first responders. Often confronted with challenging and traumatic situations, first responders have unique experiences that can lead to significant personal development and a renewed perspective on life.
We begin by understanding PTG, delving into how struggling with adversity can result in positive psychological changes. You'll learn that growth doesn't negate the distress of traumatic events but uses it as a catalyst for change—leading to stronger relationships, increased resilience, and a deeper appreciation for life.
The conversation then shifts to embracing the journey of healing, acknowledging that it's not a linear path but one that requires patience, self-compassion, and a willingness to face challenges head-on. We discuss the importance of building a supportive community, the power of mindfulness and self-awareness, and how transforming adversity into an opportunity can foster profound personal growth.
Finally, we offer practical ways to foster growth in daily life. This includes strategies like reframing negative experiences to find lessons and strengths, incorporating gratitude to enhance emotional resilience, and seeking support while developing a growth mindset. An engaging exercise encourages personal reflection, helping you recognize small signs of growth and reinforcing the possibility of development amidst difficulty.
Join us as we navigate from merely surviving to truly thriving, providing valuable insights and tools to support your journey towards Post-Traumatic Growth.

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, we take a deep dive into the silent battles that first responders face every day. While they are celebrated as heroes, many struggle with unresolved trauma, PTSD, and chronic stress—hidden wounds that can take a devastating toll on their mental health, emotional well-being, and job performance.
🔹 The Hidden Impact of Trauma on First Responders
We expose how persistent anxiety, depression, emotional numbness, and hyper-vigilance not only affect personal relationships but also contribute to burnout, substance use, and even suicidal thoughts. Left unchecked, these symptoms can lead to compassion fatigue and professional disengagement, making it even harder for first responders to show up for their teams and communities.
🔹 The Mind-Body Connection: How Chronic Stress Affects Physical Health
Unresolved trauma doesn’t just live in the mind—it manifests in the body. We discuss how chronic stress, sleep deprivation, and the adrenaline-fueled nature of emergency response work increase the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, chronic pain, digestive disorders, and autoimmune conditions. The “tough it out” culture often forces first responders to suppress their pain, further exacerbating long-term health consequences.
🔹 How Unprocessed Trauma Affects Job Performance and Decision-Making
When trauma is ignored, it can impair situational awareness, reaction time, emotional regulation, and cognitive function, leading to split-second mistakes that can put lives at risk. Learn from mental health experts how trauma-informed approaches and evidence-based coping strategies can enhance focus, resilience, and job performance in high-pressure situations.
🔹 Breaking the Stigma: Practical Tools for Healing and Emotional Resilience
To support our listeners, we introduce a daily reflection journal exercise designed to help first responders process their experiences, recognize trauma patterns, and develop emotional resilience. By taking small, intentional steps, it is possible to regain control, restore mental clarity, and cultivate a healthy work-life balance.

In this episode, we dive deep into how to manage emotional triggers effectively by understanding their impact and learning practical strategies to regain control over emotional responses. We’ll explore the best coping strategies for emotional reactivity, helping listeners break free from automatic responses like anxiety, anger, or avoidance.
To start, we’ll define what emotional triggers are, including specific memories, situations, or stimuli that evoke intense emotional reactions. Since many of these triggers are linked to past trauma and emotional triggers, they can create overwhelming automatic responses. Breaking the cycle of emotional reactivity begins with recognizing these patterns and developing healthier ways to respond.
Next, we’ll uncover how the brain processes emotional triggers, focusing on the role of the amygdala in emotional responses and how it signals threats, activating the fight-or-flight response. Listeners will gain insight into why emotional responses can feel so intense and how survival-based brain wiring can override rational thought. Through mindfulness techniques for emotional regulation, individuals can train their brains to manage these reactions more effectively.
We’ll also introduce a step-by-step guide to emotional trigger mapping, where listeners will identify their top three emotional triggers, analyze their emotional and physical responses, and create a trigger action plan. This strategy includes recognizing early warning signs, practicing mindfulness techniques for emotional regulation, and using journaling to track progress.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have practical tools for understanding emotional triggers and a clear plan to enhance your emotional resilience strategies. Whether you're struggling with trauma and automatic responses or simply want to build better emotional control, this episode will provide the guidance you need.

Each day, we encounter various triggers that evoke memories of past traumatic experiences. These triggers, seemingly innocuous on the surface, serve as reminders of the pain we've endured. It's important to recognize that these triggers are not meant to torment us but rather to safeguard us from reliving our past trauma. However, when we're still ensnared by the pain of those experiences, these triggers can unleash a cascade of psychological and physical emotions that hinder our personal growth journey.
In this transformative journey of self-discovery and healing, we delve deep into understanding, managing, and ultimately taking control of our triggers. Throughout this discussion, we will explore several essential topics.
Firstly, we will explore the nature of triggers and their profound impact on our lives. By gaining insight into the origins and significance of these triggers, we can begin to untangle the complex web of emotions that accompany them.
Next, we'll navigate the challenges that often arise when attempting to pinpoint these triggers. Recognizing that self-awareness is a key element in this process, we'll discuss how crucial it is to be fully present in the moment as we delve into our own experiences and emotions.
Finally, we'll provide you with three practical steps to manage these triggers effectively when they inevitably arise. It's time to reclaim control over your life from the clutches of your triggers, and we are here to guide you on this empowering journey towards healing and personal growth.

There is something to be said about the people that fight for their life, that don’t take this life for granted any more, but the only way to see life through a new lens it to have gone through a transformation.
A flower can’t bloom without pushing itself through the dirt.
But you have to decide if you are going to push through or just stay stuck in the darkness missing out on what life has for you. No one ever said that life was going to be easy, but for some reason we all feel that it should be.
Life is full of ups and downs, pain and happiness, time that you need to keep moving forward and push through, and times that you must sit still and learn.
Where are you right now depends on what you have been doing every day for yourself and understanding your path.
Today lets walk through a journey of transformation, the battle doesn’t end here, but going through it without know that you are going through it does.

Cultivating self-reflection is an essential component of healing. We discuss the power of self-awareness, introspection, and challenging negative thought patterns. By exploring personal narratives and beliefs about the trauma, we can begin to rewrite our stories.
Building resilience is another key aspect of the healing journey. We discuss strategies to enhance resilience, including building a support network, practicing stress management techniques, and developing adaptive coping skills.
Engaging in self-care practices is crucial for physical, emotional, and mental well-being. We explore various self-care activities such as mindfulness and meditation, creative expression, and physical exercise, all of which promote healing.
Recognizing the importance of professional support, we encourage seeking guidance from mental health professionals and connecting with support groups and peer communities. They play a vital role in the healing process.
We delve into the power of meaning-making, exploring how to find purpose and meaning in the aftermath of trauma. We discuss the role of spirituality and faith in the healing journey, and how creating a narrative of resilience and growth can empower us.
Join us on this transformative journey towards healing and growth after PTSD. This lesson serves as a guide to understanding and approaching healing, but it's important to remember to seek personalized guidance from mental health professionals.

In life we are always thinking about the things that we want or the things that we don't have. We look at others with envy thinking why do they get that.
Today I wanted to talk to you about thinking about the things that you already have and being grateful for your life. People are looking at you too wishing they had what you have.
Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and ore. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity.. It makes sense of our past and brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow - Melody Beattie

Your life, past events, your inner circle, your family should not be controlling you.
Your life you are free to make the choices that you want, to live how you want. but often times people get trapped, trapped by the comfort they have already given themselves, the way the past events are on your thoughts everyday.
Maybe the people closest to you keep telling you the way that you want to live will never work.
It might not work for them, but you are you and you are an incredible you, but the only way that you can make the choices and move with your life is to be in control of it.

Where are you limited?
What from your past has shown you that something that you couldn't do before, you still can't do today?
I love watching my kids learn new things, kids don't think about what they can and can't do they just try it.
Babies are prime examples, when babies need to roll over, they just do it, when they are learning to crawl they just do it, when they are learning to walk they just do it.
But then they begin to hear, don't do that, or you can't do that so much that they begin to doubt what they really can and can't do.
Then this is imbedded into our minds and this is how we all learn to live our lives, until we can unlearn these thought through personal development and daily growth.

Everything you do in life will always begin with one, one step, one decision, one relationship.
When you are looking at making changes in your life, just focus on the first step and what you can do, it might be many steps to complete your goal but when you focus on one, you will then be able to see the small picture to get to the big one
Think about the next step towards what's right for you and block out the noise of all the other need.

When you are going through tough times its hard to see the real picture and in todays society it is always easier to point the finger than it is to accept responsibility.
Being responsible means that you failed and when you are growing up, going through school and beginning your life, failure is not an option.
But failure is what teaches you how and where you need to grow and growth is the only option.

Did you ever play hide and seek as a kid, I often still play it with my kids today, it is fun and my youngest Kesler, really is small enough he can hide in the best places. I am big so it is a lot harder for me to hide, but sometimes I can get creative and they don't find me right away.
I know that where things in life that I just didn't want to think about and i avoided putting myself in the position to get hurt or scared by this and it resulted in my life being controlled by these things.
Today I want to show you how to take back control of those things that you are hiding from and face them head on, know that you will eventually be found so don't put it off.

Why do we run, usually because we are scared, scared of the past chasing us, scared of the failure that we had.
But you are being chased by something invisible, something that really isn't there, unless there is something physically chasing you then i would say run faster and probably turn off this podcast.
When it comes certain fears in our lives, well most of the time they aren't really there, we create what ifs for the future or blame and resentment of the past, and these control our lives and stop us from taking changes to go after the life that you want.
Today I want you to stop running from nothing and begin to run towards something and i am going to show you how.

Everything in your life is build from the ground up, when we are born we are on the ground. When we start a job most times we are at the bottom and have to work our way up.
And when something happens in our lives it puts a crack or hole into the foundation that we have laid for ourselves.
Like when my son died, that was a big hole that I needed to fill, and I don't necessarily mean fill like add more kids, I mean fill with Postive meaning and created understanding.
The stronger the foundation that you have the stronger you are going to be against future tremors.

Whenever we go through a situation we are faced with a choice, we can blame others because of what happens or we can take responsibility and make the decision to change to the new person that we want to become.
But that is tough, it is always easier to point the finger than take responsibility for our consequences. My kids do it all the time.
We have been programed our whole lives to thing the doing something wrong or bad is a negative thing, to me it is just learning, if you truly didn't know, well then you truly didn't know.
Today I wanted to talk about why it is so important to take responsibility for the past and how we can be more responsible and move forward with our lives.

Most of us are very giving people, it feels great when we can help others out when they are in a time of need. But often times when we are doing this we forget about ourselves, and we deplete our own batteries and the life from us by giving so much.
Now I am not saying being a generous giver is bad, is most certainly isn't, what I am saying that you must take care of your self first, you must make sure that you are doing well enough to help others because if you don't you will be overwhelmed and tired and not have the energy anymore to help those.

During life most of the time you are given a test and then taught as to why you are going through it or learn something when you come out the other side.
Now the key part is to come out the other side, most people get stuck in the test and that is when PTSD is diagnosed or Depression.

Everything that happens in our lives is full of meaning, but what does it mean, well that depends on you and what you decide that it means.
Every story that we tell ourselves is our own story, it comes from past believes and values that we have. Its comes from the events or situations that we have gone through.
2 people can experience the same event and give it a completely different meaning. But what can happen is this world has already told you that because you went through this situation you should actually be feeling a certain way and if you don't well then there is something wrong with you.
How each of us feels during or after a traumatic event is personal, but i wanted to give you more confidence today to go through and come out of the event your own way.

You have a choice when anything happens in your life, are you going to react to it or are you going to respond to it. When you are living your life on purpose and doing the things that you decided each and every moment you are being at cause.
But when you aren't you are doing things just because. If I were to ask you why you decided to respond that way you might say, just because or even because. This gives that event or person your power.
Don't let anything outside of you control your life, your emotions are yours, your thoughts are yours, and how you act every moments are yours. Be at cause today and not just because.

Welcome to this third episode of how Little Changes equals big transformations, on todays episode I am going to talk about Why it is important to be still.
Now, can you hear all of the negativity going on in your mind, well that is your life playing itself all the time. Being still allows you to put a pause and refresh yourself
When you are not still it' like running your car all the time and never turning it off, it would probably die a lot faster than if you were to take care of it.
Stillness doesn't always mean a 30 min medatiation or having it quiet all around you, but this does help. What you want to do to be still is pause and take in 6-10 deep breaths, focusing on each breath that you take.
I am going to explain how this little technique will give you more energy for your day and improve your life.

Each action that you take will have a consequence either or good one or a lesson that you will take into the next action that you take.
Your actions are never wrong to you, they might be hurtful to someone else or harm someone, or send love and appreciation to someone, but you have made the decision to act that way, you have pre decided to have the consequence that will come with your action.

As we continue on with our Series - Overcome Self Doubt we continue with the 2nd episode - Love Yourself, You are worth it.
There are many situations and people in this world that are going to treat you with what you will perceive as rude or unjust. But it is the response to these people, that determine if you love yourself or have not set boundaries for yourself.
Pain I believe is an awakening, it is there to wake you up from missing this amazing life that you have. We all have times that we get caught in comfort and comfort isn't going to give you that lie that you want.
Learning to love yourself is the difference from caring what other people think or say to you, or allowing events to come into your life and dictate how you are going to feel. To being at oneness and on purpose with your life.

On the first episode of this series "Called Look inward not outwards I am going to talk a lot about your mind and your heart and how to use both of these to develop the resilience and strength that you need to get past the past pain that you are stuck in.
The world is going to tell you one thing which usually also is portrayed from your thoughts, but your heart and emotions will tell you a different story if you can listen to them
When you can bring awareness and understand what you are feeling is good, it is building your strength for the future but your mind might tell you that you are week for feeling this way and you should be moved farther past where you are or this hurts to much is it really worth it.
I will tell you right now it is.
Your self talk is only mirroring the things that you have seen in this world, but your heart or spirit will tell you things that you know are true but have been unseen to you.

You can respond to it with blame to others or you can respond to it with understanding and create a responsibility to not allow it to happen to you again.
it all comes down to Will and perception. These are 2 of the 6 human facilities that we all possess and control. but you have to use them and know that you have the responsibility to use them during all situations in your life.

Today in Canada is Thanksgiving and yes I know its a little premature for the USA and honestly I don't know how or even if other countries celebrate this. But I want to start by just wishing those out there Happy ThanksGiving from your fellow Canadian
Often times there has to be a specific date for people to celebrate or remember or think about certain times in their lives. Many times it is good to just focus on this once a year
But being thankful is something that I feel people should do everyday and today I wanted to talk to you about the importance why and also so little tricks that you can use to stay in that thankful emotion.

There will always come a time in everyone’s life that will cause you to reinvent yourself and to course correct, today I my course correction.
This Will be my last PTSD Growth Podcast as I feel that PTSD isn’t the right path for me, I do enjoy teaching you all and I have started another podcast called "The Adam Henson Show ", this one I am going to be going a little deeper with mindset, heart, and body.
Teaching you that when you use faith, your mind, Passion your heart, and action, your body your life will change. Not can but will.
Your life is full of decisions every day, whether you want to get up in the morning, if you want to get past your emotional state, if you want to have some chocolate?
Decisions and the way your life goes from this moment forward is up to you. There will always be a yesterday, something that you wish you could change but you can't.
But there is also a today and tomorrow, the times that you can create the life that you want and give it everything that you have.
This choice and ultimately responsibility is yours, the way you live your life (actions) your choice, the emotional state that you are in or attach to each event (heart) your choice, and the thoughts that you habitually have every moment of everyday (mindset) your choice.
Don't waste another day wishing it was different today than it was yesterday. Make the decision today to make it better than yesterday.
Take the actions that are going to move you to be the person you want. Remove negative emotions from events and use that energy towards things you want. Shift your mindset to be more grateful and positive to the things that you already have.
Thank you everyone for being dedicated Listeners - Remember I love you and there is nothing you can do about it.

Our mind likes to wonder, it seems to go out for these long walks to the future fears or worries or maybe take a drive into the past to those traumatic events.
But does it rarely just stay in the moment when it should, i believe that people not only take pictures to share with others but also so that they themselves remember the event.
What about right now, this moment, where are your thoughts, where is your focus, I can guess that you are going to hear about 60% of this podcast because your thoughts are going to drift to what you need to do later or maybe a thought of your past.
But today for right now I want you to practice, anytime that your thoughts wonder during this next 10-15 min you bring them back to my voice.

Often most times the more painful it is too you, the less that you are going to talk about it. This will cause you to build more pain on top of more pain until you are so heavy that you are going to be at a choice where you will either.
have to learn to deal with your pain, or remove the pain forever. This is a major cause of PTSD and how people ultimately lose the battle with it.
But i hope that you as one of my avid listeners really embrace the dealing with your pain, so that you never get to the point that you will lose this battle.
But the only person who knows about this pain is you, until you are able to open up and get the help you are wanting.
There is no shame in asking for help

These are all different was that we all tell people who we are and how we Identify ourselves. but are we really these things, are they apart of us or are they what we do.
One of the biggest ways that people identify themselves as is with their disorder. I hear people all the time tell me that they suffer with PTSD or have depression, this is an easy way to self identify and it will always keep you stuck in that disorder.

Life is a game, and if you don't see it that way you are living it to hard, its a game of hide and seek.
We live our life's everyday looking for something maybe it's our purpose, maybe it's a relationship, that someone special. Maybe it's a nice car or house, maybe we go to work every week to find the rent that we need or mortgage payment.
Or maybe we are just looking for our keys or our kids. Every day we are on a search to find something.
Most time we are looking for the things that we don't want, i don't want to find another bill in the mail. I don't want to find another disappointing day at my job.
But you will always find what you are looking for and on today's episode I am going to show you how to find what you want, and it is simpler than you think.

If you don't take care of you or love you enough to take care of you, there wont be a you left for others to love.

Over this past month I have been talking about your thoughts, Learning to understand them, how to have fun with them again, even the specific or bad timing of them.
Thoughts will always come and go in your mind, but it is the emotional attachment that you give to each an every thought if it sticks around or just vanishes.
When we can get our thoughts working for us and not against us, your life will begin to be on the right path of that life that you want, you will stop drifting into the past to those events that are keeping you stuck and begin to get your thoughts back in line and create that life that you want.

Our thoughts are created from past, present and future events, We think negatively about the past ones, worry about the future ones and rarely think about the present ones.
Most of the time our thoughts are negative, because we are stuck in the past event that we just went though or are relieving every day. First I want to remind you that the event is over and no matter how much you are thinking about it there is nothing you are going to be able to do to change it.
I feel that there are 2 reasons why everyone has negative thoughts and I will be discussing this today and also giving you __ ways to look different at these thoughts and create a different life.
Change your thoughts, change your life.

Our thoughts whether we want them to or not, sometimes come at the worst of time, those times that you are waiting for a loved one to return home and your thoughts go to worry about a car accident, when they are just stuck in traffic.
Society has labeled that at worry and it truly it but it is also really bad timing. but i truly believe there is also meaning behind the timing of the thoughts. Maybe you had a fight with this person and this thought is truly showing you how much they mean to you and how much you really care for them.
It shows you that forgiveness is more important that whatever you were fighting about. Lets talk today about how important it is to see why you are having the thought that you are in the time that you are having it.

Where your thoughts go your energy will flow, have you heard this expression before?
Well It is very true, most days unless you are working on your mindset, your thoughts are going to grind you down, they are going to lower your energy and keep you stuck in this revolving door or lower self, until that time that you are ready to move into a higher place.
Today is that day, these grinding thoughts are not going to be in control of you any more they are not going to be able to control your energy, why, because you are going to over power them and be in control of your life.

Why did you have that thought? Do you even know or do you just follow with the action or don't and move on with your day?
Our thoughts make us who we are, our thoughts actually make up part of our brain chemistry.

Who you think you are, is who you are going to act like, feel like, and set your goals like.

Why is it that when we are trying to get to a certain place our lives our thoughts go far out into the obis.
Worry would be the best example of this, I know there have been times in my life when my wife hasn't come home around when she said she would or maybe I thought she should and Well My thoughts and worries go crazy thinking all of these different horrible things, then she is home safe later.
Or maybe there have been times when I have tried to achieve a goal that I was going after and didn't in the time frame I thought I should have, so i feel it wasn't the right goal for me or maybe i was 4 feet from my goal.

I also know that many people listening this could be the first season without someone that you care for.
Traumatic Events can come and be a reminder in your life at anytime, and the holidays are always a hard time. So I would say is that during this time just take it one day at a time and try not to think about tomorrow.

We all have times in our lives that people have encouraged us to push to that next level, to try a little harder and complete that goal.
Some of us it was when we were kids and our parents, teachers, or coaches would do this.
I have heard my son on many occasions say to himself " Come on Kesler you got this". This is something that really inspires me to do the same.
Its time to begin to encourage yourself to do the things that you want to do, this can be done with rewards along the way or even just encouraging words everyday.

Or maybe you are one of those opinionated people, depending on where you are coming from your opinion most likely isn't warranted.
I get that you want to let people know about your thoughts about their situation, but unless they ask, your opinion doesn't matter.
People don't mind getting advice once in awhile, especially if it postive towards their current circumstance. Lets dive deep into understanding if giving your option is good, if you should or if it is best just to leave it alone.
We will also look at getting opinions from others because for the most part, who asked.

But thought-out our lives there are going to be events or results, maybe circumstances that we are faced with that we don't want or necessarily ask for.
But that doesn't mean we aren't going to get them. These are those character building times when you really didn't thing your character needed to be built, but well someone else thinks it did.

Remembrance day is one of those days that we take time and reflect on the amazing people who sacrificed their lives to give us the freedom that we live today.
Often times we don't think about the people who are still sacrificing their lives well after the world war is over but they are daily fighting the war within themselves.
Today I want to recognize those people and say" You are not alone"
I do somewhat understand the fight that you have been going through, not from an actual been there role, but as a coach that has been studying it for over a decade.
I want to do what I can during this episode to show you that first, you are not alone in your struggle, and second a few things that you can work on to just sometimes make it through the day.

When you are around certain friends are you a different person that if you are at home with lets say just you and your spouse?
Often times we change to be the person who others want us to be, I know this because I did it for years.
When i was working as a correctional officer I had a persona that they would want to be around, then when I was at home I was a different person, when I was playing with an individual sports team I was again a different person.
Now I don't mean you have different personalities but things like, I could cry at home if I was hurting but you don't ever cry at work.
I could talk to people about my beliefs on a sports team or a club that I was with but don't talk about that somewhere else.
I wasn't being my true self, I was being who I believed that they wanted me to be. I still work on this because I do care what people think about me, but not as much I don't hide from who I am.
I also know that people are going to like authentic me, and if they don't well they don't need to be in my circle. This is where I want you to get, not you aren't going to drastically get there after you listen to this podcast, I do wish I was that good, but i will give you some tricks to be more of you around everyone.

Most days fear is right out there for people to see, instead of trying to build up courage to face the fear we try and hide what we are scared of and just hiding away the fears
Your fear will then jump back out at you when you don't want it to, like those stupid old jack in the box. When you begin to face your fear and build the courage to get over it, you will them be triumphant and can move forward past it.
I realized that to be more alive I had to be less afraid. So I did it. I lost my fear and gained my whole life.
So lets do that, yesterday's fears are gone, you are now going to build your courage and get thought today

But being thankful is something that I feel people should do everyday and today I wanted to talk to you about the importance why and also so little tricks that you can use to stay in that thankful emotion.

Often we ask ourselves why a situation happened to us, why did my son have to die? Why did i have to get into that car accident and am now paralised? Why did...
There is something bigger at work here, something bigger that why, I believe that the reason the situation happened to you was because you have the strength already in you to make it out the other side.
If you look back at your life you will see things that have happened that lead you to this one situation

This situation or event that you are stuck on or can't stop thinking about it really just a sliver of your life as a whole.
If you get an actual wood splinter in you, you take it out right away, but when you have an event sliver you leave it in a focus on it all the time.
Feeling the pain from it, then it causes an infection and more situations happen in your life because you didn't deal with the sliver early on.

You might have seen the title and wondered how I was going to talk about the same thing. But these 2 things are completely opposite.
A postive mindset is created, this is a way that you can grow everyday, negative thinking is something that your subconscious does throughout the day.
Not everyone has a postive mindset but everyone does have negative thinking.
Previous episodes I have talked about working on your negative mindset and I will touch on a that a bit but i really want to talk to you about creating a positive mindset

Thought out our days we a reminded of the failures that we have endured in the past. But when was the last time you said "Yes I can"
It doesn't matter for what, just an unwavering confidence that you are able to achieve that goal that you are going after.
Lets get back to that understanding that whether you think you can or you think you can't your right.
Believe in yourself, and the rest will fall into place. Have faith in your own abilities work hard and there is nothing you cannot accomplish - Brad Henry

I love it when my kids play make believe, it inspires me to think about the things that I want to happen in my life.
When was the last time you played about where you want your life to go, it is fun to think about being out on a yacht or serving a community, building houses in needed countries.
Athletes do this best, you see hockey players sitting on the bench playing the game in their mind before it actually begins, not it doesn't go exactly how they plan but i am sure it goes pretty close.
Beginning to visual your life will allow it to go pretty close to how you want it to

Fear: is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or a threat.
The definition states right in the first sentence that fear is an emotion caused by a belief. Your beliefs are caused by past experiences that you are bringing into today.
If that event that you fear never happened to you are you didn't know about it would it really be a fear of yours, Probably not.
It's why babies and toddlers have no fear, because they have no past experience to bring into the present.

You think things into existence, everything in this world has first be created in someones mind and then they put it into action.

Just like in the forest, as the trees get grown out of a small seed, so does your life. Every action that you have taken in the past, today or in your future have come from a thought that grew in your mind to create an action.
Are lives are controlled by every thought that you think and, how you are thinking these thoughts will control what actions that you are going to take.
Fear begins with a thought, Joy begins with a thought.
Depression is a result of a thought, PTSD has been grown from a thought.
How do you change your thoughts, You plant different seeds.

First I wanted to start with the definitional of Normal. As defined by the oxford dictionary, the definitional to Normal is Conforming to a standard, usual, typical or expected.
How many days are you living in that normal place, when outside side of your reality people would consider what you are going through on a daily basis very emotionally painful.
But you have been in it for so long that the pain that you feel everyday, all day is just normal to you, it would almost feel weird to not feel the way you do.
Depression isn't a disease; depression is a normal response to abnormal experiences - Johann Hari
Today lets get away from the normal feeling of pain, and have a normal life of pleasure.

Focusing forward has to be one of the hardest but most essential things to do in ones life. The inability to change yesterday, the past, makes this the biggest reason why.
When people say that you are not your past, that is not necessarily true, for the most part your are not, but your believe, values, character is build from your past.
What you need to do is begin to understand how your life works, you need to fill your time with building your life today for your tomorrow, not living today because of your yesterday.

There is so much that going on in our thoughts every moment of everyday. Most of the time people are putting themselves down, especially when suffering with PTSD.
Then, there are the other people around you, those people who tell you that it has been long enough and you shouldn't feel like this anymore, or maybe tell you their problems and say things like you think that is bad wait till you hear this.
Today I want you to put in your earplugs, and focus inward focus on your thoughts and how to improve them, focus on things bigger than your situation that you have been through, just overall focus on your growth and your path.

What are some of the things in your life that you desire? Money, relationships, a different career or maybe meaning or purpose in your life.
Well i believe that we all want these things to a certain degree, we have an internal strength and calling to go after these, but most of the time we get close we fall short of success, WHY?
Because to get what we desire, we must go through a time of discomfort, a time of character building to receive.

Purpose can mean so many things, and when I speak about finding your purpose, I don't want you to literally go out and search for it, because your purpose is already built inside you.

What has happened in your past that is causing you to feel broken today? People often get frustrated with this question beause they are done with the feeling of missing something, they are done with the feeling that the past is still hurting them today.
People constantly are bringing their past into their future because they don't take the time immediately to mend what is broken.
How many wives out there have there hunny do lists? Or how many husbands have that list to do. You are essentially fixing something that is broken, but we keep putting it off until another day, now this has gone into our minds and we put off lots of things because we don't think we have time or maybe we just don't want to deal with it.
This is why you are still feeling broken today about a situation that has happened long ago in your past. Its time to start working on your own honey do list.

Our Emotions control our lives, and when you are in a lower emotional state your life is going to feel negative and where you can't move yourself into a better feeling.
They say laughter is a the best medicine and that it very true, it controls your endorphins and allows your body to change its emotions
Your focus is what is controling your attitude, so when you are wanting to be happy again, well that means its time to be in control of your emotions, which in turn will control your actions, which in turn will control your life.
To be a happy person, one has to drop all comparison. Drop all these stupid ideas of being superior or inferior. You are neither superior nor inferior. You are simply yourself ! There exists no one like you, no one with whom you can be compared. Then suddenly, you are at home. - Osho

I love watching my kids learn new things, kids don't think about what they can and can't do they just try it.
Babies are prime examples, when babies need to roll over, they just do it, when they are learning to crawl they just do it, when they are learning to walk they just do it.
But then they begin to hear, don't do that, or you can't do that so much that they begin to doubt what they really can and can't do.
Then this is imbedded into our minds and this is how we all learn to live our lives, until we can unlearn these thought through personal development and daily growth.

Often when people go through a dark time in their life, a traumatic event, if they are unable to get out of the storm, they stay there. And when a storm gets worse the clouds get darker.
This is even true in your life, when you are unable to get out of the pain that you are going through, when you are unable to build resilience and grow, it will begin to go darker and darker for your storm and then eventually it turns into suffering and if you are suffering for long enough, that is when people are unable to get out and feel they only have one option.

When you are going through tough times its hard to see the real picture and in todays society it is always easier to point the finger than it is to accept responsibility.
Being responsible means that you failed and when you are growing up, going through school and beginning your life, failure is not an option.
But failure is what teaches you how and where you need to grow and growth is the only option.

Sometimes there are things in our lives that aren't good for us, but we are so used to them.
Then there are things that we don't pursue or go after because at the time they seem difficult or tough.
When you can begin to look into your life and become self-aware of what is good for you and what is not so good, you will find that you might be holding on to things that are hurting you.

How many times do you think that life is going to go one way and then it goes completely opposite and either works out for the better or teaches you something.
I believe that is how life is planned, we always seem to get the things that we want but we don't get them in the way that we through we would.

Everyone at some point in their lives are going to go through a traumatic event, now if that leads to PTSD I don’t know, that will determine on the individual.
PTSD is very real, and I am glad that it is finally being recognized as a disorder and something that people suffer with, now Doctors are able to diagnose it.
PTSD is no joke to you or anyone around you, it is a very thin line between life and death.
If you want I am available to help.

When I refer to everyone being in a different boat, well, there might be something similar to the storm that someone is going through, but the waves aren’t the same, the course that you are going through isn’t the same.

Our lives are controlled by our thinking, and the direction that you are putting your thoughts is going to be the direction your life is going to go.
Did you know that the average person has 6,200 thoughts a day, probably more for women because they are always multi-tasking, so they probably multi think too.
If you are always thinking negative, then you are going to have to work harder with your action to live a positive life, if you are thinking positive then your life is going to flow a lot easier and more enjoyable.

No one is going to live our lives for us, everyone is so focused on the responsibility that they have for their own lives. Taking full responsibility for your life, you will begin to do things and make changes that are going to cause your life to be in your control, not controlled.

When we look at life and making sure that we put our mask on first, we are taking care of ourselves, and knowing that we have the strength to help others or even sometimes get through a day, is why this can be so difficult. Because there is no clear result, at least no immediate one.
When you are not working on yourself, every day, you are dimming your light, you are limiting your potential. There are people in this world who are only going to look at you for guidance, and if they aren’t, well you really don’t want them to look to others.

Whatever situation that you are going through, emotion is always going to be the first things that shifts your actions and usually we don’t know if we responded the right way until we look back on the situation or event that we just went through, and self-assets the response.
Always knowing that your response is right for the situation will give you the confidence to carry you through every situation, because you will know that no matter how you responded the way that you wanted to.

Your beliefs control your actions, and they will allow you to see things from a different perspective, if you didn’t believe that you were able to heal from the mental disorder why would you even be trying. You would just lay in bed and binge watch Netflix or whatever you do to drown out the pain and numbness that you are feeling and wait for your life to pass you by.
But you don’t you downloaded this podcast, or you are reading books you are actively trying to do things in your life that are going to get you closer to healing, so if you didn’t have a belief that you could heal why would you even try, do you get what I am saying.

Your life is series of event that are their to build you to the next event that you are going to be facing, but if we don't pay attention to how we got the last emotional setback, you are going to be unable to move forward.
This is what I believe causes PTSD or depression. When you are able to lookback, not relive, to that event that caused your emotional change you will begin to move forward and create the life that you want.
In this episode I will show you how you can do that and take back responsibility for your life.

Your Emotions Are In Your Control, and you are going to have many opportunities in your life to express your control. There are going to be events that are there to mold you into who you are going to become, and there are going to be events that are going to give you a lesson that you have been avoiding.
So many times, we keep getting stuck on a single event because we feel that that event broke us, it causes us to fall into a depression, anxiety, but just like you fall into it you can also fall out.

Ask yourself better questions. What are the words that are coming into your mind, are they things like how could I ever do what? what if I fail?
When you change the questions that you ask yourself your response will change and you will know that you can do things, that you want, but didn’t realize you had it in you to do.

Protect yourself first!!! Most of the time in live you are focusing on others, those people around you that you care about, and you forsake yourself.

You are in control of your life and you are always making decisions, whether you think you are or not.
So be on purpose with the decisions that you are making, burn your boats and go after glory or die trying.

Each event needs to be looked at singly.
