Say No To The Outrage Olympics. Reclaim Your Time And Energy | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 236

Did you know that participating in the endless outrage olympics pumped out by social media and the news is completely optional?

It's possible to stay informed about global happenings while also not losing our minds, having mental breakdowns, engaging in hateful pile-ons online, and more.

It seems like a lot of folks these days do not realize that we can opt out of the endless cycles of outrage, and step away from whatever current event the media cycle of today is pushing everyone to react to.

Does Where You Put Your Attention Align With Your Intention? | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 235

In this episode of The Secrets of a Witch Podcast, I discuss the importance of aligning our attention with our intention. Many people these days seem to be addicted to (and easily sucked into) mindless content online, or even outrage olympics rage bait online.

Instead of spending hours arguing on the internet or scrolling through cat videos from the entire time you get off work til when you go to bed, ask yourself - what else could you be doing with your time? Don't you have something to create, something to do, something to learn, or even something restful that would actually replenish and revive you?

Controlling and containing our own energy and attention is crucial when we consider what it takes to have a good life where we fulfill and execute on our purpose and passion.

Is There Healthy Aggression? The Importance of Warrior Energy and the Survival Instinct | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 234

We are in a society where most kinds of aggression and masculinity are demonized and denigrated as bad, evil, or unhealthy. But is there such a thing as healthy aggression?

In this episode, I talk about the importance of viciousness, standing up for ourselves, fighting back (when necessary and from a healthy place), the survival instinct, and what I call warrior energy.

Knowing which fights to get into (and why) is a big part of this. Unfortunately, much aggressive raw survival energy is wasted on stupid online arguments and pointless protests.

In this episode, I explore what warrior energy means and can look like in the contemporary world, what causes our lack of it (and extreme misdirection of it when it's present), and where we can channel this energy instead (and why we should be aware of any of this at all).

Compulsive Behaviour, Self Control, and Energy Leaks: What to Reflect on This Mercury Retrograde | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 215

In this episode, I talk about this month's Mercury Retrograde, and how we can work with this energy to reflect on our own relationship to impulsivity, bad habits, and addictive behaviours. I frame this in terms of cultivating healthy masculine energy to contain ourselves and our desire for excess, rather than being at the whims of every feeling we have. This comes up with compulsory sexuality, excessive online shopping, porn usage, arguing online, cheating, drama addiction, and more - these are all energy leaks. If we are witches interested in directing our energy towards our goals, we need to get a handle on our energy leaks! Listen to this episode to learn more and to get some inspiration for what to reflect on this Mercury Retrograde.
