Controlling Mental Chaos in 4 Simple Steps
Take away:
Focus on enjoying the present moment. He says this state of mindfulness reduces anxiety and taps into innate creativity. The key is learning to find joy and fulfillment in each moment.
Money Learnings:
Jaime learned from his parents that there is power in having money available to help others. Although his family didn’t have much money, they often gave money away to their church, organizations, and neighbors. This shaped his view that money’s purpose is not solely individual gain, but as a tool to generously assist and empower others.

Highlights from this episode:
- Living in the present moment can help calm an anxious mind and tap into creativity. Simply being aware of your senses and the current moment disconnects you from unhelpful memories.
- Practicing self-care, self-love, and self-parenting exercises can fill emotional voids left from childhood. Caring for yourself is a basic requirement before moving to deeper personal growth.
- Thoughts are bursts of energy. Observing them without judgement allows anxious thoughts to fade away naturally. You are not your thoughts.
- There is great power behind having money available to help others. Value and purpose can come from generosity.
- Fearful thoughts in youth often lead to poor decisions. With time we can recognize these are just thoughts, not truth.
- Connecting to others becomes important in personal growth. Appreciating relationships and community is key.
- Focusing on enjoying the process leads to better outcomes. Success happens naturally when you find joy in the work.
