The Wanderer's Guide to Cosmic Fabulosity

To Give or Not to Give a F*ck

Wed, 28 Jun 2023 17:00:00 +0100

In this episode of The Wanderer's Guide to Cosmic Fabulosity we explore the idea of not giving a f*ck. Trigger warning – the F word is used often in this episode.

Are you an approval seeker? Do you find yourself spending too much energy in places that don't deserve it? Are you allowing people to impact your life negatively by caring too much about what they think about you?

If you suffer from any of this, this is the episode for you! Dan lightly explores the correlation between giving too many f*cks and depleted mental health alongside how allowing external factors that don't actually matter take away from our energy resources.

We hope you will join us for this fabulous wander!

In this episode of The Wanderer's Guide to Cosmic Fabulosity, DW explores the winter blues. Looking at both seasonal affective disorder(SAD) as well as the sadness that might come with the holidays, we take a wander through a clinical lens as well as a very human lens.

As always, taking a lighter look at a heavier topic is the mode of operation here. DW cites some wisdom brought to us by scholarly literature as well as personal experience, client impressions, etc.

If you or someone you know suffers from depression and in particular depression associated with this time of year with the shorter days and/or the sadness that might come with the holiday season, be sure and pass this episode along. Below are some of the articles from which DW gleaned some of this information.

As always, we wish you the best for this holiday season and for the coming winter months. Be sure and seek support if you find this time of year particularly difficult. Remind yourself that it is a normal human experience and everything you need is inside of you.

Who Do You Think You Are?

Sun, 22 Nov 2020 15:00:00 +0000

In this episode, DW wanders through exploring what it means to ask the question, "who am I?" Many ask this question at some point during the lifespan but do we always ask the best question that leads us to a true understanding of the self? Moving from who we "think" we are to who we really are, DW takes a light look at his failing to ask the right question in the past and how answers came from asking the more spacious question, "who am I ... really?"

Sussing out our own barriers to forward momentum, cynicism, and taking a self inventory, the episode culminates in a process for observing our true self from a strengths focused perspective.

DW walks through each step of the process whilst providing space for the listener to take time for reflection as well as integrate what might be a new way of observing the self free from judgment.

Bring Your Light

In this episode DW discusses how to recognize what is happening in our current experience, accept and allow it to be what it is, investigate all of it with kindness and in the end, find the path to understanding that our experience is something other than who we really are.
