Don't Believe Everything You Think is a great reference book by Joseph Nguyen. Mr Nguyen packs a lot of good stuff into 120 pages and it hasn't left my desk since I got it a few months ago. This podcast highlights Chapter 5 and reminds us that our natural state is happiness and joy; it's only when we start thinking (oh yea, OVERthinking) that our mind gets cluttered, we get flustered, and boom. I know you know. So grab this book and read a bit of it when winding down or anytime just as a reminde...

The Struggle Bus is real, for all of us - but we have to endure the bumps and get off at the next stop. We can do it by lifting up each other, helping each other, whether in person or even over the interweb airwaves lol. In a world full of negative social media and biased news we can and will break free from the garbage and celebrate our lives on this beautiful planet. Love all y'all! Support the Show.

Here are 9 ways to calm yourself when things start getting a little rough - or good ol' anxiety rears it's ugly head. Staying in the moment and not letting the past or future get our minds racing is so important. These 9 everyday things can help us settle down and chill. Be yourself and I do love all y'all.

Sometimes we just need a reset, like going through our social media accounts and getting rid of the garbage (i.e., overbearing political content, media bias, whiny people... well, you know). Let's focus on the good stuff that will encourage, motivate, or just make us smile. We all scroll through our accounts - usually just out of habit or to take a work break - so make it positive and a l'il mind and body boost K? Okay then; love all y'all! Support the Show.

Slight deviation from our usual content, but couldn't resist having my buddy Carter on to talk NFL, the Tampa Bay Bucs, and Baker Mayfield's comeback. Actually it is related to our usual themes as Baker was counted out by many "experts" but proved himself and is now entrenched as the bonafide NFL star. In life, let's never give up and we will definitely succeed. Manifesting don'tcha know. Talk soon and love all'yall! Support the Show.

There are energy takers, and there are energy givers. We all know this but in this podcast we define the differences and the amazing impact they have on our lives (and our physical and mental well-being). Truth be told, all of these are pretty much a microcosm of what SMFRThePodcast has been about - and will continue to be about - because we all need these l'il reminders to stay on track amight? I know I do, and guess what... I love all y'all! Support the Show.

I think a lot of us would agree that many of us suffer from some form of depression; the really bad kind requiring serious attention, to simple, everyday funky stuff that puts us, well, into a funk. This l'il episode is helpful for the latter. Hey it works for me and is a reminder for all of us to take it easy on ourselves. Love all y'all! Support the Show.

We can (and do) get so bogged down with constant phone-checking, going down rabbit holes, and endless social media bombardment that we can "lose the forest for the trees" so to speak. In other words, losing sight of our daily and long-terms goals - and dreams - and getting caught up in stuff that means nothing to us in the grand scheme of things. Rethink it all, reset (and drop the losers and the negative stuff) and ya know... I love all y'all! Support the show

Get your mind right... call it meditation, or just plain ol' chillaxing, but we simply have to take time for ourselves (and our little gray cells as Poirot would say) during our busy lives. George Harrison (ex-Beatle and noted meditation dude) equates it to the ocean; it's always changing up top - storms pop up, etc - but the bottom of the ocean is always calm and still. If we can block out the storms and anchor ourselves to who we really are deep inside, well, life just gets better all around. ...

Vibe shirt. Are you familiar? You may be a part of it, and it's a real thing: Those of us tired of the government, media, corporate America shoving things down our throat are seeing things for what they really are - and we want our lives back and to be left alone. Pretty cool stuff and it's gathering real momentum... and hope for the future (our kids, our families). Love all 'yall! Support the show

7 ways to say no... there are probably more but these are fairly polite ways to avoid getting into a situation you might regret later. Sometimes we're so concerned about hurting others' feelings (or just coming off the wrong way) and we say "yes" to projects or things that really don't benefit us, our families, or whatever the end result is on the whole dealio. So let's learn to say "no" before we end up with a wacko to-do list that keeps us from doing the stuff we really want to/need to accompl...

5 times to be quiet - not always easy to do, but very effective for our own selves as well as those around us. Hey, sometimes we don't feel like swinging from the chandelier or being the life of the party. In those times, let's be reflective (or just plain ol' quiet) and enjoy the moment. Real stuff, real good... and - you know it - I love all y'all! Support the show

I had a wonderful opportunity to talk with my buddy Carter about last nights' Bailey Zimmerman concert, as well as about things that interest him. He's a great dude and so proud to have him on the ol' Steve "My Friend' Reeb SMFRThePodcast. Enjoy and remember that I love all y'all! Support the show

A brief ode to one of my favorite books. Written by Dale Carnegie back in 1948, its' lessons are applicable today more than ever. Hope these short podcasts provide a groovy l'il respite to your day, and guess what? I love all 'yall! Topic Spoiler Alert: What we think, we are... true story.

5 things to improve our day - instantly! Things like peace of mind, laughing with others and the like may seem superficial (and maybe a little goofy, especially if we're having a crummy day). However they work for me, so maybe give them a try? You betcha. Love all y'all! Support the show

5 rules to stay positive in 2024, or really any year, or any time going forward. We're challenged more and more these days, as well as bombarded with information we're may not be important to us. Let's get back to basics and to grounding ourselves; staying true to our goals and ideals. Credit goes to Robin Sharma for this topic, which I've expounded on with my own thoughts that hopefully we can all use... going forward. Love all y'all! Support the show

United we stand - we must - in the face of the government, media and controlling corporations/organizations (WEF, anyone? Yikes.). They're constantly trying to divide us with labels, biased news and policies, and groups they fund (Antifa, etc) to infiltrate and cause friction among us. However, we know (yes, we do) that our strength comes from being united, not from separate groups attacking one another. Let's stick together and weather this storm being forced upon us and rise above. There's a g...

Every heard of Crab Mentality? I hadn't, but sure know what it is and I'll bet you do as well. Another way to phrase it is "divide and conquer" or getting us to fight amongst ourselves while keeping us from our goals or from the bigger picture overall. It comes from Big Brother (the media and government) all the way down into our personal lives. Let's unite and support each other so we can all achieve and get the distractions and naysayers out of our lives. Love all y'all! Support the show

I don't think any of us would consider ourselves lazy, so maybe "procrastination" might fit better here. Regardless, these 6 tips are very cool IMO; some I've applied in life, and a couple I've never heard of but am going to try them out after researching. They sound legit. See what you think, thanks for letting me share these podcasts with you. Love all y'all! Support the show

Manage your environment and recondition (yes, "re") yourself for success. We all get our minds right with constructive mentors, books, and what-not... but then (guilty as charged) gradually veer off and start taking things for granted. Then you know what happens, right? Bad habits or even just forgetting the progress we've made. Hopefully this l'il podcast gives us all a reminder that we have to get back - and stay - on track so we can live our absolute best life. Love all y'all! Support the sh...

We can't overthink our way to a better future, and certainly not to a better past. Let's take the positives from the past and learn our lessons for the future. Everything else is negative junk that we need to file away and forget forever. Overthinking just sucks. Hey, love all y'all! Support the show

Laying some basic ground is a great way to set ourselves up for success; with new friends, business associates, and just things in general. Not surprisingly it entails the simplest of things such as remembering someone's name, being interested in what they're saying, being empathetic (Yet confident in ourselves). Yup just simple stuff that all comes back to us in the form of success... by doing basic, common sense things that may not be so common in today's world anymore. Love all y'all! Suppor...

Here's how: Remember, our subconscious mind executes whatever ideas we feed it. Good or bad. That's what it all comes down to, so let's use our imagination to simplify and to visualize the awesome results we want to achieve - and lordy, let's certainly not overthink things. Easy does it right? Love all y'all! Support the show
