What do you think of when you hear the word Ego?It is a word that is used regularly in our culture today but seldom do people understand fully what it is. And use it in ways to usually describe arrogant behavior or self centeredness.But in this episode of the Moonz Podcast I attempt to gather as many views as possible to help give us a better understanding of the Ego, as well as our other psychological forces such as the Personality, the Intuition, our Biological Drives, and Consciousness.And how each of those forces either work together or are at odds with each other within our psyche.I also touch on ideas such as the collective ego, group identity, humility vs arrogance, and much more.To see where these phenomena develop, and how we can learn to track their tendencies and have them work for us, instead of against us.

What are you addicted to?In our modern world, there are so many different things that we can get hooked on.From alcohol, to drugs, to porn, candy, Netflix, gambling, video games, and the list goes on.But what goes into those addictions?What is happening in our body when we feel the pull of cravings arise in us?And how does our motivation get completely taken over by those addictions, and cause us to repeat the same patterns over and over again even though they are no longer serving us?In this episode of the Moonz Podcast I go into the inner workings of our brains to understand more clearly what is actually triggering those cravings and addictions. And offer up solutions for not just how we can overcome those negative habits, but also how we can take the same biological processes that keep us hooked and use them to fuel the changes we desire to make in our lives.

How do we make positive change in our lives?What are the paths that we can walk to undo our previous patterns of thinking and behavior, and integrate in a new way of living in the world?  One that is aligned with a strong set of core values and promotes meaning, fulfillment and inner harmony.What makes changing so difficult? And how can we seek to change at a level deeper than just our habits to ensure that we will be able to cross that river and not look back?How can we connect to our own internal guiding system to help us create a new future to strive towards and let go of the past?Over the past year I have felt the weight of the consequences that come from refusing to change, of fighting against the flow of life and seeking to control it.And it has forced me to make large alterations in my habits, lifestyle, perspective and identity.  And in episode 2 of the Moonz Podcast, I dive into my own life experience, as well as the leading research into habit change, quantum physics, and psychology to build a road map to help you make the changes that you want in your life. So that you can improve your internal and external realities and become the best version of yourself.

What happens when we talk about our issues? What is possible when we cultivate a core foundation of truth and trust with our closest relationships, as well as with ourselves?How can we cultivate groups where each member supports each other in the processing of our own internal and external challenges through open and honest communication?What effect would all of these have in our life if we sought to become honest with ourselves and grounded in our unique beauty and our imperfections?And what are the negatives that arise when we bottle up our emotions? When we don't talk to anyone about what we are going through, and worse, become ignorant of (and run from) these deeper parts of our psyche.I have experienced a big shift in my life and my relationships after making a point of integrating honest communication into my core ethos, and practicing it daily through journaling or by engaging in a truthful dialogue with my friends and family.And in this first episode of the Moonz Podcast I dive deep into the life changing benefits of honest communication, how it's impacted my life, and ways in which you can start to add it into yours to achieve a heightened sense of self awareness, self acceptance, and confidence. While also dramatically increasing the connection, growth and positivity in all of your personal relationships.
