The Jim Fortin Podcast

Start Your Transformation Now Every time you judge someone, you are not judging them, they are reflecting you back to yourself. This episode is about how we’re mirrors for each other and how when people judge you, they are not judging you, they are just reacting to who they think you are, based upon who they are. You’ve heard me say before, most people’s two biggest fears are the fear of being abandoned and the fear of inadequacy. These fears keep most people trapped for a lifetime, it’s time to release them. In this episode I talk about: [3:50] How many times your fear is rooted in personal insecurity [5:32] How people judge out of personal insecurity [9:36] How many times you judge people for judging you [12:05] How you judge yourself when others judge you [12:52] Why people judge [16:36] Why drives the fear of rejection And, like I say in every episode recap, much, much more… In this episode I talk about a few different ways to start BEing so the fear of judgement by others no longer bothers you. When you change how you interpret judgment, the fear of judgement goes Away. Transformational Takeaway: People are not judging YOU, they are telling you who they are. And, you are going to be judged, no matter what so do, so do what you love. Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now How many times have you set goals for yourself only to find that you’re right back into your old patterns and you never achieve what you think that you want? If you’re like most people, that is your exact pattern: Wanting a goal but not achieving it because you can’t shake loose of your old patterns and habits. In the first sentence I said, “What you think that you want.” What you think that you want is not what you get because you get your habits and they don’t come from the “thinking” part of your brain. In this episode I talk about: [2:44] The three largest parts of your brain and how they function [10:38] How your reptilian brain sabotages your goals [12:19] Why your reptilian brain operates from survival and predictability [13:09] Why what you think you want is usually not what you get [15:09] And how to dissociate from the reptilian brain habits I have created episodes on habits but this one dives deeper into the exact way the reptilian brain sabotages your goals and what you think that you want. Transformational Takeaway: Your goals come from your prefrontal cortex “thinking” brain and your habits come from your reptilian brain. They battle each other and you have to disassociate from your reptilian brain habits. Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now It’s one of your greatest abilities, yet it’s one of the most under used abilities we have. What is it? Your sense and intuition. We’re not limited to the five senses, yet this is the extent of our senses that most of us use. As a cosmic being you have a higher sense, a sixth sense. This is your inborn ability to access higher wisdom that pertains to your life. In this episode I talk about: [8:00] Higher mind and lower mind [9:33] Why almost no animals were found dead in the 2004 Indonesian tsunami [11:29] Why silence of mind is the only way to access your higher intuition [12:30] Why everything is about your awareness [27:36] How spending time in complete silence can help you And, I offer 4 different ways to develop your higher sense and intuition. I cannot stress enough how important it is to your well-being that you start to develop your higher senses. Sense has many times kept people alive and safe when they’ve listened to their higher wisdom and knowing. Using your sense is one of your greatest abilities. Listen and start developing yours. Transformational Takeaway: Silence is the heart of transformation. Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now You’ve heard me talk about the power of dreamtime and using your subconscious mind to problem solve and in this episode I go further and talk about how to make dreamtime work even better for you. Relative to “who you need to be,” I’m often asked….“Jim, if I’ve never been a millionaire before, what ways would I need to be in my mind to make it happen?” Even when I give people ideas, they many times struggle finding the right way of being to help them create the life they want. So….in this episode I talk about: [1:57] Of course, about dreamtime [7:39] A recapitulation of the fact that your identity drives you [15:19] Who you have to be to have the exact experience of life that you want [15:40] Your primary and secondary identity [26:04] Why I trust dreamtime guidance more than my analytical mind And, the specific question you can ask your unconscious mind for deeper understanding. As well, I talk about “setting your intention” to maximize your mind’s direction during dreamtime. Not only do I talk about asking your subconscious mind for assistance, I go deeper and share how to ensure your answers come to you: Transformational Takeaway: Set your intentions for dreamtime answers.
