The Americana Coast Podcast

Do you believe in manifestation of your goals and opportunities?

Mean and angry people can't combat someone who's kind and positive.

Not unlike a video - each day is made up of individual moments worth taking a closer look at.

You can't go at break speed 24/7. Learn the value of giving your mind and body a break.

One person's input can have a profound affect on you!

Today's message, acknowledge and move on. I first heard that line from comedian actor Scott LaRose during one of his routines and I thought it was just absolutely brilliant.

I'm today a little bit about the importance of physical activity on having a positive attitude.

Despite what we see on the news, social media, what we witness, the things that people do and say to each other, I think people are generally good.

I just wanted to wish you a good day and to remind you to not let negativity get to you.

For me, life very much emulates the ocean. It's not a constant by any means. It quite literally is a series of waves.

Today we're going to talk about two things. One, boundaries, and two, social media.

On any given day, each and every one of us has the potential to be the asshole.

Did you know you can trick your brain into feeling happy by faking a smile?

When you've got that one person who, just for whatever reason, is just constantly spewing hatred, negativity, meanness, ugliness, some point, you need to tell them, and let them know, dude, enough. I need a break. If you've got nothing nice to say, let's just put a cork in it for now.

I know it's cliche for the flowers to come. A little rain must fall, all that. But it's true. Even in the sunniest of places, rainis inevitable.

Did you know that when you do something kind for somebody, it causes what's called a helper's high.

Pain is temporary - quitting is eternal. "Lance Armstrong"

Steve Martin has a bit where he talks about the value of building on your goal, starting out small and then building towards your big ass hairy goal, right? Now for him that means starting out as the all-being master of the universe and then maybe going to Europe. Now he's joking of course, but the spirit of that concept is a valid one.

I don't really have any advice for you this week. No tidbits, no hints, no words of wisdom. I just wanted to check and make sure you're doing alright.

So why the daily pep talk, Bill? What's all this positive nonsense? Look, between you and me, being negative wears me out. All the anger and the arguing and the negativity, it's just the stress, the worry, ugh, that it brings on, wearing me out. So I thought, let's combat it with some positivity.

I've always told my kids the secret to success is showing up. And you will find that many times it's easy to show up, but there are those days where you just don't feel it. And those are the days that it's really important to show up.

I help coach a high school cross country team and what we teach the kids is rather than always racing against the number one runner, especially when you're practicing, race against yourself. What are your goals for the year, for the season? Where do you want to see yourself? How do you want to improve? And then compare yourself and race against that.

Don't quit. Don't stop spinning. Keep making your mark. It's important because we need moons just like you to keep the tides in order, right? Even the moon getting bombarded, it keeps spinning around that sun, Thanks for stopping by and we'll see you next time.

Today we're talking about perseverance. Never quitting on yourself or each other if you're part of a team.

The hardest part about finding success is trusting the process. It's easy to want to shift gears when things are taking too long. But sometimes you just have to trust the cosmos.

Our world has made it all the more challenging to be kind to those you're frustrated with. But it's important to always be kind to each other, be good to each other and continue to love on each other.

Water boils at 212 degrees. At 211 degrees it's just hot water. How many times have you gotten to 211 degrees and quit?

What's one thing you're going to accomplish today? Focus on that one thing and let us know how it went!

In a world where motivating yourself gets harder every day, it's important to remember that nobody knows you like YOU!

It's so easy to get caught in a creative rut. Then as you get older you're not as prone to be on top of trends and new applications. It's important to continually challenge ourselves to push our creativity outside our comfort zones.

Today we're launching a quick podcast version meant to give you a positive start to your day without investing an hour. Short and sweet! In this episode we talk about staying positive in a world of negativity.

In this episode of the Americana Coast podcast, host Bill Filipiak introduces the concept of the show, focusing on life by the coast, marine life, and the importance of community support. He discusses the appropriate response to distressed marine animals, emphasizing the need to contact experts rather than intervening directly. Bill also shares his background in music and his plans to feature musical guests, while promoting kindness and community support as central themes of the podcast.
