I am something like YOU
I am something like YOU
Shadin El-kasheef
I am something like YOU I am nothing like YOU I am nothing but YOU My name is Shadin El-kasheef I believe We are ALL ONE. For this reason, I believe in bringing people together for the common good of humanity and for future generations. We are living in a let’s say interesting social, political, economical and cultural environment post covid. Contrary to what might be pushed out by popular major news outlets, from my own personal experience, I find that we all have more in common than not. Regardless of race, gender, religious affiliation, age, sexual orientation or whatever other identity you affiliate with, we all experience the human experience in the exact same way. The human experience is universal and for this reason, I want to provide people a safe space to come and have conversations with me about their journey as a soul having a human experience. The ups, the downs, the messiness and goodness. Any topics YOU would like. I will make myself available at specific times of the week for recording with you. I will provide details on how to get in contact with me I’d love to talk about YOUR STORY and have others from you on your journey in life so far. Everyone has the proverbial pen to write their own life STORY. My grade ten science high school teacher told our class that life is about stories and creating stories. We e all have a story of overcoming adversity or hardship in our lives. We all strive to varying degrees to try to become and/or reach our full potential. This is the reason why I wholeheartedly believe: I am something like you; I am nothing like you; I am nothing but YOU! We are all ONE! For this reason I want to highlight and give people a platform to share their stories. By sharing YOUR STORY, you can inspire another to overcome there own challenges and adversities. Your testimony can be the light to help someone else get out of the darkness. I hope you join me on this wild adventure. With love, Shadin.

I wanted to be an atheist but things changed: How I am a believer of a ’creator’ now
  On this episode I discuss religion and how even though I do not believe in the traditional organized religion, I do believe in a creator. I compare and contrast my father and Miguel Garcia and how I believe they have the same foundational beliefs even though they come from different religious doctrines.    They both want what is best for their families and they work hard in order to provide and make sure their children are taken care off.    Please share if you got value from the episode.   With love,  Shadin   Background music from Calm and Peaceful Leafm  https://pixabay.com/music/modern-classical-calm-and-peaceful-115481/

I am a hypocrite: How our autopilot program runs our lives more than we realize
On this episode, I discuss how it is imperative that we learn what is in our subconscious mind and make it conscious so that we can begin to consciously design the future we wish to have.  I discuss how it is alright to be a hypocrite sometimes because we function mostly on autopilot whether we like to admit it or not. Our basic survival instinct such as breathing, heartbeat, digestion etc. are run not by conscious thought but autonomic functions. The same is true for many areas of our lives. I mention Alison Lagers Book 'The Wake up Call - Guide to harnessing your true power' because it give you a practical tool that allows you to uncover exactly what are the subconscious thoughts that have been running on autopilot in different areas of your life.   https://www.amazon.com/Wake-Up-Call-Guide-Harnessing/dp/B09VCD45SX   Visit here at https://www.instagram.com/alisonanswers/ or https://www.instagram.com/lagercounseling/   With love,  Shadin     Background music from Calm and Peaceful    Lesfm     https://pixabay.com/music/modern-classical-calm-and-peaceful-115481/

How my Mind Works: My Higher Self, My Ego Mind, My Adult Mind and My Child Mind
In this episode I discuss how I have constant chatter in my head like everyone else and how I make executive decisions on a day by day, hour by hour basis, and even minute by minute basis.    This is how I have learned to think of my ego and my thoughts.  Reading the Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle late June of this year really helped me understand my egoic mind and helped me quite my mind and get into my subconscious mind.   I also mention these two organizations below who are doing amazing things.   They are the epitome of the mantra that I live by and that my organization Mental Fitness and The Always Choose Love Experience is all about and that is Always Choose Love.   Go show them some love by following them and support by donating if you can. They are register charities so I believe you can get a tax receipt.   https://www.instagram.com/help_heal_humanity/     https://www.instagram.com/musicforeverychild/     Much love and light.  Shadin        Background music from Calm and Peaceful    Lesfm     https://pixabay.com/music/modern-classical-calm-and-peaceful-115481/

I am something like you...
‘I am something like YOU’ podcast is meant to bring light to the uniqueness of individuals but also to the oneness of the ‘human experience’. Meaning that regardless of your age, gender, racial background, sexual orientation, religious affiliation or any other label you want to place on yourself, we all share and experience ‘the human experience’ in the same way.    We all have the ups, the downs, and we need connections, community and a sense of belonging and purpose on this floating rock in order to make life worth living.  With this podcast I hope to not only entertain, but educate and inspire those who feel alone and isolated know that they are not the only ones experiencing the ‘negative human experiences’ alone and that others human beings around the globe are experiencing the exact same experiences they are. I want to shed light to those who are experiencing the darkness alone in silence and let them know, we are here for them. To let them know that we have been in that darkness alone ourselves and have felt that we were the only ones experiencing the darkness alone too. I want to shed light on the fact that they do not have to stay in that darkness alone. That there are people that want to connect and get to know them.  That WE ARE ONE BIG FAMILY.    I want to let them know that this reality that they see online is not reality at all. That the filtered smiles they see others post online is not reality. We live in a complex world where reality is not always reality and discernment is difficult; especially difficult when you are in a dark space in your mind and have low self esteem and worth.    Even when our logical brain tells us that what someone posts on social media is only a snapshot of their lives, and not a real representation of their real life, we still have a hard time in that moment fully realizing this and it sometimes sets of a cascade of negative thoughts, that then trigger a set of cascading chemical reactions that snowball and lead us to doubt, fear, self-judgement and discontent with our otherwise lives that we should be thankful for. WE LIVE IN A DIGITALLY OBSESSED WORLD. Those who designed social media have already admitted they designed it to be addicting.  They themselves do not let their children use it because of its addictive and negative side effects.  But there are many positive to social media.  You can have connections. You can meet great people online. But again, it is like your mind.  You can be its master or its slave.  If you learn how to be it masters through meditation and mindfulness for instance, you learn to silence your ego (also known as thoughts) then you can be in control of your emotions and thus your actions which leads to happiness and gratitude and contentment. Plus all the good that comes from that.   Or you can be its slave. Meaning you can be caught up in all the random thoughts that come in and out and propagate into other thoughts that if go uncontrolled led to negative self-talk, negative behaviours and actions and those can led to risky behaviours that can ultimately led to sickness and even sometimes death.    Social media is the same.  But I want to change the conversation sort of speak online through this 'I am something like you' podcast  I know that you understand that social media is not real. Real conversations and real connection is real.  Talking about authentic things that go on in your real life is real. Talking about your dreams and aspirations is real. Talking about your kids or grandkids is real. Talking about what makes you happy is real. For all these the reasons listed and more, that is why I wanted to start this social experiment of sorts and why I want you to join me in starting this dialogue. I want to have real conversations online. I want you to get real with me Unfiltered.  Non-judgemental. Raw. Accepting. Tolerant of all opinions and beliefs. But at the end of the day loving to ALL. Because as I said, I believe and as I believe you do too,  WE ARE ALL ONE. For this reason, is why I live by the motto: ALWAYS CHOOSE LOVE.  You brother in the fight against fear and all that is against love, Shadin    Background music from Calm and Peaceful Lesfm https://pixabay.com/music/modern-classical-calm-and-peaceful-115481/
