That quiet spark inside you never really leaves. It just gets covered by noise. If you feel busy but disconnected, this one is for you.
On Soul Sparks, host Swati talks with Steve Barton about awareness, letting go of limiting thoughts, and six short phrases he uses to quiet the mind. Expect simple tools for boundaries, triggers, and coming back to yourself.
About the Guest:
Steve Barton is the creator of the Game of Ten and author of the book of the same name. At 70, he loves turning personal development and mental health into simple, practical tools.
Key Takeaways:
- You have thoughts. You are not your thoughts. Observe them and let the old ones go.
- A trigger points inward. Ask what you are defending.
- Set loving boundaries: yes, no, stay, go. Say no with respect.
- Steve’s six phrases: I am ten. I am doing the best I can with the awareness I have. I am always right with the awareness I have. I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
- Never beat yourself up.
