Chronic Victory Podcast #29 - Faith & Masculinity w/ Stuart McCaw

Science fiction is only just science fiction, until it becomes science.   

What if we can go from feeling small in a supermassive and big place, to feeling like a part of something big, in a supermassive and big place... Something important and rare, to which when there is something wrong with us physically, ranging all the way from from illness & pain, to hating how fat or wrinkly or ugly we feel.. that becomes irrelevant, because we are so much more!

Quantum Physics, theories of our universe and what we are... Just what does this have to do with anything? Well, there are two main reasons why I am talking about these things which can benefit us all.  Let's talk!

Here is my "because of the internet" Disclaimer:  Today's episode has some wild stuff and I'm not 100% sure how much is true, however I'm entertained just thinking and talking about it all! :)

In this episode, I discuss true Stoicism, our emotions, two different mind exercises I learned to fight against PTSD flashbacks, and how life isn't a pursuit of happiness, but a pursuit of peace.

STAY IN THE FIGHT.

 "Well-being is realized by small steps, but is truly no small thing" -Zeno

In this episode, we discuss "thinking small", how that benefits our lives, and what may  come in succession of it.  LIFE is going to happen regardless of how you feel about it. What we should focus on is what we are going to DO about it.  

STAY IN THE FIGHT.

I first learned about “Default aggressive" from former US Navy SEAL's  Leif Babin & Jocko Willink ( check out Jocko Podcast or read their book "Extreme Ownership" for more intel).  This concept is an awesome way to approach life and we should remember it! 

"Default Aggressive" means that you’re being proactive instead of reactive. It means that you’re taking action in life, rather than being a passive bystander watching your life go by.

Hannah McDowell (RN), joins us once again to discuss the current state of our medical system and some of its problems.  We also discuss a lingering concern for people with chronic illness, which is whether or not we'll receive adequate care when we'll need it in the future.  I invite you now to come hang out with us!

Aside from being an artist and nature lover, my friend Vanessa Stewart of Canada is just like you and I...  She has hard days when she feels down and feels hopeless and good days when she feels like she is in control of her health.  Yet she never stops and never quits, which brings us to why she's here.  Join us as we discuss her life with Crohn's Disease, her ileostomy and her special notebook that helps her keep going in life.

In this episode, we wrap up going through of the book 'Feeling Good' by Dr. David Burns M.D.  We go through parts 3,4, and 5.  This book is a gold mine for dealing with depression. This is my interpretation of the subject matter within, my highlights, and why I believe it's important for us. This is the first book on my list (of many) that I plan to go through. Why? So you don't have to!

Even if you don't experience depression firsthand, I hope you stick around because your own understanding of this topic could help someone that you care about and may even save a life.
