The Virtue of Slow

I grab my book (a physical book), sit down in a comfy chair with a cup of coffee, and am ready to start reading. Feeling so good, so relaxed. I take a quick glance at my phone and notice a text has come in. I check it. I respond to it. Then, since I’m on […]

Either Get In or Get Out

For the record, I do not think ignorance is bliss (even posted a YouTube video about it many moons ago). However…Knowledge can certainly be stress inducing and in this post I’m going to write about a specific instance when knowing something is not preferable. That instance: When you discover something about yourself–something you want in your […]

A Creative Ask

My first album in over 20 years is nearly finished and as much as I hate asking (for anything), I would appreciate your support for this project (PLEASE check out the Kickstarter campaign for this solo record entitled “Oxygen.” 21 days left! There’s a video that explains everything…). It was a bit strange to be, […]

French Fry Love

Fair warning. This post is going to be blunt. Here goes: You’re a drug addict. And so am I. Any time we ‘enhance’ food to make it taste better, we’re doing so to get a little higher than we would’ve otherwise. If, on the other hand, you’re someone who goes to the grocery store, buys […]

The Stories We Tell

We are made up of our memories and the stories we tell about both ourselves and our experiences in the world. When it comes to personal growth and evolution, I believe it is crucial to take a close look at these stories and be as honest as possible in our assessment of them. Here’s why: […]

WST 113: Transcendence and Descendence

philosophy, health, wellness, politics

Seems to me we’re either trying to transcend this existence or descend into enough distraction to get us through the day. What if happiness is in between? And, more importantly, what if all this was something my dog told me? SMALL STEP INTENSIVE PRIVATE COACHING: BOOK A FREE 15 MINUTE CALL WITH ME TO FIND […]

Put You in Your Place

If you know me, you know I don’t go in for the woo woo. It’s not that I don’t think there’s the possibility of magic, the supernatural and what not. It’s that I simply don’t care. As in, it makes no difference to me one way or the other. So, with that said, this post […]

That Time I Turned Off YouTube Comments.

You know when you do something that feels so right on the money that you say to yourself “I should’ve done this years ago!”? That happened to me a month ago when I returned to YouTube. But, being back on YouTube wasn’t what was ‘so right.’ It was my decision to turn off the comment […]

WST 092: I am, therefore I think

philosophy, health, wellness, politics

I pull a little switcheroo on “I think, therefore I am” because it’s the right thing to do. I then follow that up with a little diatribe on the phrase “cooler heads prevail.” But fret not. I remember to discuss Liam Hemsworth’s kidney stones. Support me (please): Patreon Find me: sidgarzahillman.com SmallSteppers.com stanfordinn.com (resort) Podcast […]
