Episode NotesSeason 2 Episode 2 – Nothing is All One ThingPete and Nicole are clearly feeling the impact of 2020 as this episode starts at a frenetic pace. Pete comes out hot and shares a ton of what is going on in his head. That’s a difficult place to visit right now. Nicole is very similar and shares what’s happening at home.As they get into a rhythm, besides it feeling a little like a therapy session for Pete, your co-hosts have a great Q & A. The main theme is the fact that we are living in a time of uncertainty. There is a sense of constant limbo. This is where fear lives and feeds. If you let fear, uncertainty, and doubt win the day, life will seem like a never-ending battle.The good news is that Nicole brought some tools and questions for us. First, she talks about a mindfulness concept called “Drop the Anchor.” In this technique, you stop and ask yourself a series of simple questions. Examples: What day is it? Where am I? Name five things that you see. Name three things that you hear. The point is to bring yourself back to the present and decide how you can proceed.Nicole then asks these two all-important questions:Do I want to stay stuck in the story?Or do I want to behave in alignment with who I want to be?We have a choice. And this brings Nicole back a critical theme in her life – nothing is all one thing. We need to look inside to who we want to be and act in alignment, physically and mentally.One resource Nicole mentions, and Pete fawns over is Victor Frankl’s book Man’s Search for Meaning. You can find this book on Amazon (this is not an affiliate link and is included only for your convenience). Get the book and read it. Then keep it handy to read again and share with others.Finally, if you have a story to share, a fear to bring to light, or suggestions on topics you’d like to hear discussed on the podcast, please reach out to either Pete or Nicole on Facebook. Better yet, join The No Fear Project group on Facebook and reach out there!Remember… The way forward is together. The time to conquer is now.This episode’s sponsor:Silver Fox Athletics.
