Changeable Podcast

Diane’s mind used to constantly ask ‘what if?’What if something bad happened?What if she felt anxious in public?What if it was too hot outside? What if it was too cold? And then she was introduced to a ‘what if?’ question on the other side of things. A ‘what if?’ question that pushed her imagination in the other direction.What if I do experience anxiety in public and I live through it? What if I don’t experience anxiety?What if it’s too hot or too cold and I don’t even notice?What if things don’t turn out the way I’m imagining them?What if I’m actually okay?It’s no exaggeration to say that the way this ‘what if?’ flipped things for Diane changed pretty much everything in her experience. She shares her transformation in the way only she can. Please listen this conversation with an incredible woman who came to see life very, very differently, all by asking ‘what if?’The post EP70: Diane’s Change Story: How Two Words Changed Everything appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

Debunking the concept of triggers as external causes of reactions, the podcast explores the transient nature of thoughts and emotions. It challenges rigid beliefs on triggers and urges embracing life without mental constraints for freedom and creativity.

There is one simple little misunderstanding that precedes most suffering. One simple little trap we tend to fall into, that leaves us confused and uncomfortable. The good news is that this trap is very changeable. Seeing it as a trap allows you to sidestep it much of the time. The other good news is that even when you do fall into this trap, you are inevitably bounced out. So, it’s not as dangerous as it sounds, but it’s still a trap you’d be wise to avoid when you can. The post EP68: The Biggest Trap of All appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

It’s a great question, isn’t it?Who cares about our essence, our nature, our core, when your body has an illness? Or when your mind isn’t working the way it ‘should’, or when your life circumstances are the worst you can imagine?What good is innate health when everything that’s physical and human is falling apart?Well, here’s the thing: All the big stuff like love, connection, peace, creativity, even a sense of thriving…doesn’t come from your brain or body. These things are 100% available to you no matter what’s happening physically, psychologically, or circumstantially.They come from who you are beyond those things. That is innate health.I hope this episode deepens your understanding. I have a feeling it will.The post EP67: What Good is Innate Health when my Mind or Body are Broken? appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

If you’ve listened to Changeable, you know that what’s ultimately behind deep, lasting change is insight. Glimpsing truth beyond the appearance of things.Seeing something about who we are and how we work. Seeing it, sensing it, feeling it…not necessarily acting or “doing” our way there. The new paradigm looks far beyond our behaviors or any strategies or tools we might use.My guest in this episode is Hale Dwoskin. Hale is the co-founder of Sedona Training Associates where they teach The Sedona Method, a method for releasing painful thought and emotion.But painful thought and emotion releases itself, doesn’t it? Experience flows. Why would we need a method to release it?I ask Hale this question in the episode, and I think you’ll enjoy our conversation around it. Overall, Hale and I see things very similarly, despite some surface level differences.To learn more about Hale’s method and his free online event, go to: https://www.learningstrategies.com/ReleasingFestaj/home?aff=34269The post EP66: Releasing What Is In The Way with Hale Dwoskin appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

As we see ourselves and our experience in a brand new way, things that used to comfort us don’t in the same way. Old identities and plans no longer fit.That’s a beautiful thing! Old, limiting concepts are falling away.Although it’s a wonderful sign of change, it’s definitely not always comfortable. Listen in to hear how to navigate the uncharted waters of change with as much ease and security as possible.“One doesn’t discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time”—Andre Gide The post EP65: When Old Comforts No Longer Comfort appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

Back in April, Teri had a major disappointment. It threw her for a loop.She went through all the feelings.She thought this disappointment shouldn’t affect her as much as it did. After all, she has this new paradigm understanding. What good was it if she was suffering this much?When Teri’s mind settled and she began to feel a little more like herself, she had some huge insights that I am excited for you to hear her share.There are so many common themes in the way we move through disappointment and grief. It is incredibly comforting to see how we are designed to bounce back from anything.The post EP64: When Hard Things Happen with Teri Whiteman appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

I constantly hear people talking about how important it is to “be okay with” their experience.They want to accept what is. Be okay with. Feel a certain way about [fill in the blank].That looks like the ticket to freedom, the key to satisfaction, the way we experience peace.Except it’s not. Not really.What if there’s something better than being okay with your experience?What if how you feel about your experience isn’t up to you, and doesn’t actually matter at all?Perhaps you don’t have to be okay with your experience after all…The post EP63: You don’t Have to be Okay with your Experience appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

“Mental health is designed into us.”I know this to be true.But for some reason, it stopped me in my tracks when Julieanne said it in the first few minutes of our conversation.Julie talks about how so much of the change in her life came from every day interactions. Not from learning or exploring anything in a formal way, just by being in life.Also listen for when she deeply realized that she was not socially anxious. I bet you’ll be able to relate JThis conversation quieted my mind and stuck with me for a while. I hope it does the same for you!You can see more about Julieanne here: https://www.julieannechazotte.com/***TODAY, September 23, 2019, is the first day of school!The Little School of Big Change is now open. The new students are finding their seats and taking in the first lessons.I’d love for you to join us! https://dramyjohnson.com/the-little-school-of-big-change/ The post EP62: Realizing that Mental Health is Built into our Design with Julieanne Chazotte appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

Our understanding of how human beings work is undergoing a pretty massive transformation.Love, compassion, and understanding used to look like qualities we could bring into our lives to combat the very real problems of separation, confusion, and disconnection.Now we know that love, compassion, and understanding are who we are. They can’t be absent. Separation, confusion, and disconnection are experiences that come and go. They are ultimately made of thought, so they are illusory.Old ways of supporting people simply don’t make sense in the new era.Does it make sense to make change happen when we see that it’s always happening by default?Does it make sense to go into the past when we see that we exist in a steady stream of brand new experience?Does it make sense to try to fix someone when we see they can’t possibly be broken?In this episode, I talk about a handful of psychology and personal development ideas, comparing how they looked in the old paradigm to how they are viewed from the new paradigm.So much has changed, and even more is changing!***Next Monday, September 23, 2019, is the first day of school!The Little School of Big Change begins one week from today. You can still pre-enroll to save your seat and to save $49 off registration. I would love to be able to walk you through this understanding over the next 6-weeks!https://dramyjohnson.com/the-little-school-of-big-change/The post EP61: The Old Understanding vs. A New Understanding appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.
