Third Degree Mind

Midweek Update: Family Dynamics

Preview of this upcoming week... we'll be discussing a few different topics. One thing we'll be exploring this upcoming week is family dynamics, and how it influences your ability to relate with people. How you treat family members, how they treat you, how you interact with them, what you think of them... all these factors from your childhood all the way into adulthood will affect the person you grow up to become.

Also a reminder to listen to last week's episode and do that writing prompt! Pick a song that speaks to you, and write about it, without actually listening to it. Imagine the song, and then write about it. I'm going to talk more about that this upcoming week. Until then... have a great rest of your week!

True Happiness

What is True Happiness? How do you achieve it? How does happiness originate from a state of mind?

Thanks for checking out this week's episode of Third Degree Mind, where these topics are discussed. This week's focus is on true happiness. True happiness is achievable, but there are a few rules you must first come to realize. You have to understand the difference between an "emotional happiness" (which is incredibly dynamic and never a permanent thing), and a happiness that originates with your own state of mind.

Midweek Update: Buy a Notebook!

This is a 3-minute mid-week update just to check in. Since last week's episode introducing the Podcast, Third Degree Mind has been added to the iTunes Library. If you use iTunes, be sure to look up Third Degree Mind and subscribe!

The week's almost over, which means another episode of Third Degree Mind is just around the corner. Between now and then, go out and buy a brand new notebook, and maybe a pen. One of Jay's favorite strategies for managing something like BPD is writing. This will be covered more in-depth in future episodes. This week's main topic is going to be happiness. What is true happiness, and how do you achieve it? How is "true happiness" different from "feeling happy"? Make sure you subscribe or follow Third Degree Mind so you don't miss it!

My Story, A New Podcast

This is the first episode of my new Podcast, Third Degree Mind. I have Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and have struggled with it for a few years. Over the last year or so, I've become much more effective at managing it, which is why I decided to create this Podcast. I have a lot of stories and experiences that I can share. This introdcutory episode covers my basic story and a brief overview of my journey through high school, early experiences with relationships, and where I am now. My goal with this Podcast is to share experiences, how I came to be what I consider to be successful at managing my BPD, and how others with emotional problems or difficulties can learn from my experiences.
