This week... a really, REALLY good discussion and deep-dive, prompted by an Instagram post talking about how to determine if you are living with a "wounded" inner child. Spoiler Alert: You very likely are. Why? We've all had some "interesting" early-life experiences. Where they all bad or negative? No, but we all have some "recovery" to do.

Listen in for the signs of an inner child that needs love and care, and of course some great ideas, tools and concepts of what you can do to help yourself become a better YOU.

Thanks again for joining us!

This week, we should call it the "Grattitude Episode." It didn't start out that way, but once the conversation gets rolling, that's exactly what it turned out to be!

It all starts with talk about a mutual friend of Bill and Vicki, and how a recent "milestone" birthday caused a bit of depression. Sounds strange, but when you hear the full story, you'll understand. Maybe it's happened to you, too? Seeing the years go by, perhaps losing family and friends.

That's how we get to gratitude. While "love" can be a challenging thing to focus on for some, because perhaps of different love-related experiences and relationships, gratitude seems a bit more universal, perhaps easier to embrace. Bill and Vicki talk about how to generate more gratitude in life, and some of the experts that have helped shape our mindset about it.

Thanks again for joining us!

Thsi week, not one, but two great lists of powerful ideas. See if you can put any of these concepts to work (or play!) in your life.

First, "7 'old people' sayings that are actually solid life advice at every age." Timeless wisdom, as they say. Find it here: https://www.upworthy.com/7-old-people-sayings-ex1. And thanks to author Annie Reneau for this one.

Also, Training Your Brain to Get What You Want in Life. Big idea, yes? Do you know - really know - what you want in life? See more here: https://www.inc.com/benjamin-p-hardy/how-to-train-your-brain-to-get-what-you-want-in-60.html. And for this one, thanks go out to author Ben P. Hardy and the Inc. Magazine site.

This week, as Bill continues his recovery from eye surgery, there's a good discussin of "patience." Funny how we can suggest it to our friends and family, but when it's our turn to demonstrate some, things can get a little wonky!

Also this week, and perhaps related to the "patience" talk, a bigger discussion on the power of foregiveness. Not just any kind of foregiveness, but the really important kind, the kind we give to ourselves.

Thanks again for joining us!

This week, Bill and Vicki talk about one of the best "cliche" lines of all time, at least in the world of personal development: "It is what it is." Crazy how one simple idea can cover so much ground, and how frustrating it can be when put to work in real life. Still, "it is what it is" is a - we hope! - useful idea for thinking about the ups and downs of life.

Also this week, a review of a great blog post from Self.com on procrastination. Do you put things off? Yeah, we do to. We've got some simple tips on overcoming and dealing with procrastination. Don't wait on this one... do it now! (grin)

By the way, we always want to give credit where credit is due. Here's the link to the full post on proscrastination. Thanks to auhtor Anna Borges. Here's the link: https://www.self.com/story/how-to-stop-procrastinating

This week, some real "human stuff." Bill talks about the emotinal and energetic challenges of his upcoming eye surgery. All the usual suspects are here: Fear, anticipation, hopefulness, desire to just "get it over with," and lots more. For now, we're just calling it an "interesting experience."

Also, another good discussion of another good blog post. This time, it's all about FOBO. You've probably heard of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), but now there's FOBO, or Fear of a Better Option. What does that mean? It's all about the "analysis paralysis" that comes from having too many options, or thinking the "best" option is still to come. Ever been stuck in FOBO? Then this discuttion is for you.

By the way, we always want to give credit where credit is due. Here's the link to the full post on FOBO. Thanks to auhtor Caroline Bologna. Here's the link: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/fobo-fomo-how-to-cope_l_677d9c83e4b07acf439cf3b1

The search is offically on... we're looking for a new term or phrase to use in place of "senior citizen." Just seems like we're all approaching (or already at) "that age," and we would really like to find something better! Got a suggestion? Head over to our Facebook page. Do a search for "The Practical Path Podcast," and you'll find it. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Part of that "senior thing" is the occasional health issue. Co-host Bill is dealing with that now, as he's going through the experience of a surgical eye procedure. When talking to his doctors, the story he heard was "just something that happens with age." Now you see what's up with the senior citizen thing! (grin)

On the more fun and interesting side, a nice discussion of "12 Sentences Emotionally Intelligent People Use Under Pressure." Good, helpful stuff! We'll post the infographic on the Facebook page. Check it out!

Crazy times out there, for sure. We start this week's journey down the Practical Path by talking about how we can be more mindful and (hopefully) aware of what's going on around us in these strange times, and how to be more peaceful and connected, with outselves and those who are important to us.

That leads to a deep dive and discussion of a very nice blog post on developing the personal trait of resiliancy. Super-important, especially for those of us getting a little more "up there" in years. Honestly, being resiliant is one of the keys to a longer, more happy life. The post was very insightful and entertaining, and led to a great discussion. For those who would like to see and read the original, there's the link: https://www.https://www.aconsciousrethink.com/49350/8-surprising-traits-of-people-who-become-more-resilient-with-age/

Hats off to the author, Jack Nollan. If you know him, tell him Bill and Vicki said hello, and we really appreciated your post!
