It's difficult for us to break self-destructive thought and behavior patterns. Often, we feel we don't have any control over these addictions to harming ourselves or others. The truth is, even though it doesn't feel like it at times, we can regain control over our thoughts at any moment. 
In this week's episode, I share one simple yet powerful thought exercise that can snap you out of those fits in just a moment. We also dive into an explanation of the guilt-attack cycle that is often at the root of these hurtful patterns.

(82) Take Control Over Your Life By Taking Control Over Your Morning

LEAD

On week of our journey into the inner world, we tackle the very important topic of Integrity -- Self-integrity, to be exact. Have you ever wondered why it seems to be so difficult for most people to create the lives of their dreams, even though each of us is an infinite Being capable of creating all that we desire? I believe this week's topic holds an important part of this answer. 

Wk14/Ep1: Integrity - One simple decision that can lead to 500% increase in productivity.

On our fifth and final day talking about Blind Spots, we talk discuss why we bury these self-destructive beliefs in the first place, and how we can set them free with the use of love, compassion and forgiveness.

Wk11/Ep5: Blind Spots - Why do we bury our most self-destructive beliefs?

On our fourth day talking about Blind Spots and the destructive beliefs they conceal, we discuss one of the indicators that can help us identify some of our worst internal programming: Those qualities about ourselves we secretly hate.

Wk11/Ep4: Blind Spots - Why people get under our skin!

On our third day discussing Blind Spots, we talk about the underlying faulty belief that most of our suffering is rooted — that the source of our happiness, joy, passion, fulfillment, love, and worthiness lies somewhere outside of us. Recognizing where we have externalized our source and releasing this is often the key in releasing disruptive and destructive beliefs that create and perpetuate suffering in our lives.

Wk11/Ep3: Blind Spots - How we create suffering by externalizing our source.

On our second day talking about Blind Spots, we dive into yet another way buried beliefs  sabotage our lives. This time, we explore what happens if we have two contradicting beliefs on the same topic working against each other.

Wk11/Ep2: Blind Spots - Are your conflicting beliefs sabotaging your life?

On our 11th week together, we explore yet another fascinating and important topic, that of Blind Spots. Often, the faulty programming we internalize becomes so much part of who we are that we bury it deep inside our subconscious where we are no longer willing or able to look at it. Then we build elaborate structures of faulty ideas, thoughts, habits, rules, and relationships atop these faulty beliefs and spend our entire lives trying to treat the symptoms. 

But if we find the belief that is buried in our blind spot and release that, the entire structure of disfunction we’ve built atop it also topples over, and we level up in that same instance that we have our Aha! moment. This week, we explore all such moments.

Wk11/Ep1: Blind Spots - Is your faulty programming sabotaging your relationships?

On the fifth and final day of our discussion about fear, we look a bit closer at the symptoms of hidden fear and talk about how we can release this fear so we  can pursue our dreams.

Wk10/Ep5: Fear - Symptoms of fear that keep us from success.

On the fourth day of our discussion about Fear, we talk about one of the many damaging manifestations of fear: walls. We build walls around our hearts, our selves, our homes, our cities, and our countries because of fear. But what’s the alternative? The alternative that we discuss is replacing all these walls with boundaries, which are rooted in love rather than fear. Walls keep people out, while boundaries show people where you stand in relation to them so they can know how to connect with you. Walls are built out of fear, boundaries are a natural byproduct of love.

Wk10/Ep4: Fear - Why we should replace all walls with boundaries.

I was initially introduced to Ellie &amp; Neloo by a 3rd party mutual friend. Working within the wellness industry, I looked into the podcast podcast, albeit without much expectation. 
And BOOM! Ellie captivated me from episode 1 (“what is peace?”). Ellie has an unbelievably unique way of helping make otherwise difficult &amp; polarizing concepts, easier to understand.  A necessary part of being able to introduce the lesson into your own journey. Just love the short format series style as well. I come back to Ellie and the podcast daily to Unleash &amp; Learn.

UNLEASH & Learn

Ellie has helped me so much. Her voice is so soothing yet also strong and knowledgeable. And trusting.
The way i think about the world and my relationship to myself has multiplied tremendously! I have sent this podcast to all my family and friends.
The short episodes make it very appealing and easy to listen to in between day to day activities or on the go. I find myself excited for what she will talk about next.
Really, give this podcast a listen!

Everyone needs to hear these words

Unleash Your Peace

On our 8th week together, we dive into a slightly controversial and often uncomfortable topic of Religion vs. Spirituality. 

Religion is considered one of the three taboo topics to bring up at a dinner party, the other two being politics and how to raise your children. Why? Because people often have very strong beliefs around these three topics, which they become extremely protective of. This is evidenced by the fact that we often tie our identities to our religious or spiritual practices. "I'm a Christian/Muslim/Jew/Buddhist/Atheist" is usually one of the first handful of things we share about ourselves with those who are meeting us for the first time. 

Now, it might get uncomfortable this week as we dive into this very sensitive topic. And as we do, I have a request: if you do feel triggered or defensive, don't shut down. This is actually a GOOD THING! The tension you feel is contrast which always leads to expansion. So, embrace it. Use it to dive deeper into your personal relationship with the divine within you. I guarantee you that, if you do this, you will come out the other side feeling MORE at peace and MORE connected to your personal spiritual or religious practice. 

Wk8/Ep1: Religion vs. Spirituality - What's the difference?

On the second day of our exploration of Gratitude, we address a very important problem that some of you might have: What if everything in your life is so terrible that finding one thing to give thanks for feels nearly impossible? What if you are nowhere near the vibrational vicinity of gratitude? 

We give you three simple suggestions for things to do that can raise your vibration within minutes and make it easier for you to find gratitude and appreciation in your life.

Wk5/Ep2: Gratitude - What if everything sucks?

On the second day of our discussion about Religion and Spirituality, we try to find the common spine that runs through all religions and spiritual practices.

Wk8/Ep2: Religion vs. Spirituality - How are they the same?

On the first day of this week's topic, we talk about gratitude: what it is, why it matters, and how it has the power to bring into your life all that you

Wk5/Ep1: Gratitude - Are your dreams a "Thank You" away?

In the second episode of our discussion about forgiveness, we talk about the only true way to forgive. By applying love and compassion to even the toughest situations, we can turn a sin into a mistake, and then transform that mistake into a wrongdoing that never happened. True forgiveness has taken place when we realize that there is nothing for us to forgive at all. 

Wk7/Ep2: Forgiveness - The only true way to forgive.

In the 4th episode of this week's topic, we introduce the concept of separation and connectedness in order to explain why negative emotions feel so bad, and positive emotions feel so good.

Wk1/Ep4: Quality vs. Quantity - Why do negative emotions feel so bad?

In episode 3 of this week's topic, we explore the role of emotions as our most reliable and most misunderstood guides on this journey of connecting with our Inner Being.

Wk1/Ep3: Quality vs. Quantity - Are emotions our most misunderstood guides?

In episode 2 of this week's topic we dive deeper into the quality vs. the quantity of our lives.

Wk1/Ep2: Quality vs. Quantity - Can you logic yourself into a better feeling life?

We cannot talk about Love without also talking about its opposite: Fear. 

So, on our 10th week together, we dive into this extremely important topic that holds most of society in its clutches. As we make it through the week, we’ll explore all the different ways fear works its destructive spells on us, and how we can free ourselves from its grip. For today, we’ll discuss Napoleon Hill’s 6 basic human fears and I share why I think all fears, ultimately, are rooted in the fear of death.

Wk10/Ep1: Fear - The 6 basic fears of mankind.

On the fourth day of our conversation about this beautiful topic of Love, we dive into the not-so-pretty side of this topic as we venture into the land of heart breaks and divorces. In a world that increasingly values couplings rooted in love connections rather than convenience or practicalities, we are encountering a culture in which many find themselves forever in search of love, and never quite finding it. In today’s episode, we discuss the root cause of this epidemic, and we introduce an obvious solution that may be difficult to implement but can lead to magical results.

Wk9/Ep4: Love - What to do if you can't find love.

On the third day of this week's topic, we take the discussion of your vibrational nature to a new depth by talking about why every expert agrees that following your bliss brings you success. 

Wk2/Ep3: Vibrational Being - How can you observe the reality you want into existence?

In the first episode of this week's topic, we talk about how quantum physics is catching up with what spiritual teachings have said for centuries, that we are vibrational beings having a physical experience.

Wk2/Ep1: Vibrational Being - What is science saying about your Inner Being?

In the 5th and final episode of this week's topic, we introduce a powerful exercise that can bring you into the present moment with an attitude of gratitude, so you can rendezvous with your Inner Being.

Wk1/Ep5: Quality vs. Quantity - How to live an inspired life.

On the third day of our discussion on the topic of forgiveness, we dive into perhaps one of the most destructive cycles of the human experience, which is often at the root of unraveling relationships: What I call the "The Guilt/Attack Cycle." This cycle is responsible for many failed marriages, for friendships falling apart, for strife between siblings. On a macro level, this cycle creates animosity and bad blood between tribes, communities, corporations, and even governments. 

Healing and releasing this Guilt/Attack cycle is only possible through atonement and forgiveness -- as explained in this podcast episode.  

Wk7/Ep3: Forgiveness - The Guilt/Attack Cycle explained.

On the fifth and final day of this week's topic, we dive into the nature of inspiration and talk about how we can live an inspired life. ​​​​​​​

Wk2/Ep5: Vibrational Being - What is inspiration and how can you get some?

On the third day of our dialogue about the topic of Love, we discuss the nature of unconditional love, and how we can keep our hearts open and the love within us flowing while still maintaining healthy boundaries.

Wk9/Ep3: Love - Is unconditional love our natural state of being?
