The spiritual and self-help community has created a new devil: STRESS. Full disclosure: this podcast has been guilty of adding fuel to this fire in the past.  So often, we're told stress should be avoided. It can wear down your immune system. And eventually it can kill you. If not physically, it'll kill your relationships and happiness. Ugh. But what if stress can be a GOOD thing? What if we're looking at it wrong? There are new studies out there that show stress can actually be your friend and can actually move you forward. Take a listen to this week's podcast with an open mind because Dan is bringing the goods and he has the receipts for them, too.  Plus you'll learn Dan's four strategies to make stress your BFF.

Four Keys to Re-Imagining Happiness

The last few weeks in America have really opened our eyes to see the world differently. It feels as if we're living in a time where real change is about to happen. People are opening not only their eyes and ears but their hearts. The conversation about race relations in America is not an easy one to have, but a necessary one. Part of the difficulty of transformation, whether it's social change or your own personal transformation, is feeling the discomfort without running away from it. That's what this week's conversation is all about. Dan's guest has experienced America from two very different perspectives as a biracial woman with a black mother and a white father. You'll find her story fascinating. Ayanna Parrent is a licensed independent clinical social worker and a certified fitness instructor in multiple group fitness areas. Her passion is to work with others in recovery from additions, trauma, depression, anxiety and other issues through using the tools of mindfulness, movement and fun.  Things discussed in this episode... - Systematic racism and some of the elements we're not talking about.  - How addiction and recovery within the black community can be affected because of racism. - How everyday microagressions add up and can create compounded trauma over time. - How living in fight or flight can change how people see the world. - How racial trauma can be passed down from generations and add to the world of racism today. - Why it's important to take inventory of your own thoughts and feelings to see if you're adding to the problem or part of the solution. - Learning what you can do today to become a powerful ally.

Ayanna Parrent: How to Take Personal Responsibility and Help Heal Collective Suffering

The word "God" means something different to everyone.  Those that grew up in a religious family look at God through what they were taught. Others might have discovered God in their own way and have their own relationship. Often though, how we grew up can really impact our relationship with God and the universe as an adult today. In this episode, Dan explains three things he thinks you should know when it comes to God and how your definition and relationship with the universe might be impacting your growth today.  Join Dan's Life Amplified Facebook Tribe! facebook.com/groups/lifeamplified Follow Dan on Instagram for daily tips and motivation: @cscdanmason To learn more about Dan and his one-on-one coaching programs, visit creativesoulcoaching.net Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers
