SMFRThePodcast

Real life experiences, (very) short stories, and reminders we can all apply to everyday life. Hopefully thought-provoding, always down-to-earth along with a l'il stream of consciousness and humor.

You can access over 250 SMFRThePodcast 5-10 minute audio episodes and YouTube 1 minute shorts below, which are uploaded several times a week. Note: There are no duplicates; often there's one YT short and an accompanying longer audio episode on the same subject.

My Patreon site is also available for a personalized musical performance (I'm a solo vocalist/guitarist) or a birthday/anniversary message video - or even just a personalized video just for you or a loved one.

Let’s Always Have Something To Look Forward To… Big or Small!

Let's always have something to look forward to... big or small. It's so important - as we go through our daily lives - to have that "carrot on a stick".

Take A Break (Do It For YOU!)

Take a break... do it for YOU! Small or extended, getting away from work or a less-than-fun situation does wonders for our mental health right? So even if you've got stuff backed up and you don't see a break in the proceedings - do it anyway. Organize and set things up for when you get back, or heck, just walk away and deal with it later. Yes this is a recurring theme here but so doggone important. Remember: WE are #1 and we have to look out for #1. Love all y'all!

Pausing before we speak, not getting dragged into a pointless argument - all leads to respect and shows leadership. It's simple things such as this that show others (and proves to ourselves) that we are in control and on top of things. Oh yeah. Love all y'all!

Ep104: Peace of Mind (How To Find It and Keep It!)

Peace of Mind... not just a great song by the band Boston, but something we dearly need in our lives. Kind of in the "take a break" category but also more encompassing. Peace of mind is more of a lifestyle change and concerted effort to chill and be happy in our own skin. Anyhoo, this l'il podcast points out seven ways to find it and keep it.
