Welcome to time to shine podcast episode 44. Hold on to your power and freedom of the mind. This is Scott Ferguson. Let’s level up.

Hey, it’s Scott Ferguson here with time to shine today.com and I just got back from podcast Fest in Orlando. What an event that they put on that it was just amazing. So if you’re an aspiring podcast or or a veteran podcast or get to podcast, or pod Fest, it’s who was amazing, just amazing classes, amazing people made some solid connections. And it was it was just a fantastic time. It’s Sunday here in a blustery Wednesday, South Florida, but still no snow. So I’ll take that at any time. But we’re going to talk a little bit on Knowledge Nugget about holding on to your power and freedom. And I got this from a chapter from Ryan Holiday. He’s kind of like a modern day stoic and he has a daily kind of extra reading for you. And it was about, you know, holding on to your mental freedom, what I’m finding out is we’re always protecting ourselves. When we get pushed around physically, like we will fight back physically if someone tried to control us or a loved one. But when it comes to our mind, we’re always kind of not sure how to be a gatekeeper and we let people push us around in our mind. And that can go back to how we were raised what we say when we talk to ourselves subconsciously, but I’m going to give you kind of my knowledge nugget of what I do when somebody tries to push me around mentally. Okay, so we are always handing over our mind power to stuff like television, social media, what’s streaming next and all that other good stuff and there’s nothing wrong with having entertainment, but when you let it start to open Take and seep into your subconscious and it becomes your thoughts. That’s when you’re going to get in a lot of trouble. Okay? you ever find yourself wanting to sit down at a computer get a project done, get get rocking and rolling. Next thing you know you’re on a Facebook page or something like that. That is not nothing to do with what you’re trying to accomplish. That’s again, your mind was attacked, they won. You lost that battle. But now the war is not over so you can still push through, okay? Or ever find yourself going and wanting just a peaceful walk with your dog. Or and this happened to me even this morning I noticed it I was walking my dog in the sky which is driving like my opinion of a complete idiot. And he ended up like squealing tires. I just looked down like kind of like What a dick. You know, driving like that. But again, I became judgmental. I was looking for peace in time with my pop stitch in just chilling out. yet. I didn’t I let somebody else control my mind, in my thoughts of being peaceful by something they were doing. So again, I lost that battle. But it’s what happens is it almost becomes automatic with a lot of you in me to get sucked into those situations. So, again, what I kind of revert back to is one, I become curious. When I catch myself acting like myself being an idiot in thinking and judging. I’d become curious about the person like that guy was driving like that. Maybe he was in a hurry, maybe he just had a really rough night maybe lost a loved one. And I got to learn to empathize with that and not let that incident control the power of the freedom of my mind. Okay, and the second that I always bring up is my duality power. I have to do ality of not giving a crap about what anybody thinks of me. As long as I’m not hurting somebody or putting them in danger or putting them down. I don’t really give a crap Wrap what people think about me, that’s the one in two is always live in the service of people. So if you can do those two things, not really caring about what anybody thinks about you, and seriously, dig deep and not think care about what anybody thinks about you, while still trying to provide the best stellar go giver service to the people, you will start having freedom of the mind. I promise you, it’s an exercise, you have to exercise your mind just as much as you exercise your body, if not more, because sometimes some of us like myself, were programmed with a lack mentality, where you’ll turn to aggressiveness where you’ll turn to ego instead of just sitting back knowing it’s not good, it’s not bad. It just is accept it, but don’t let it take away from your thinking and your power. So that’s my Knowledge Nugget for today. Hold on to your power and freedom level up and do that. All right.
