Hey, I’m James
I believe in people
I write, podcast and make videos about living in freedom through mindfulness, intentionality, compassion, and equanimity.
What is Intentional Living?
Create the life you’ve always wanted
Be More Mindful. Cultivate Intention. Accept What You Cannot Control. Accept Responsibility. Be Compassionate. Be Healthy. Love Yourself. Love Others. Get Right With Life.

Manage your world
Building a house with broken tools won’t get you very far. Our thoughts are the tools we use to understand and manage the world around us. Mindfulness can help you sharpen old tools as well as discover brand new ones.

See yourself the right way
Your perspective is your reality. Some of our limitations come from having an unhealthy view of who you are as a person and what you can offer others. Several mindfulness practices help reshape our perspective of ourselves which empowers us to be who we truly are.

Perfection and Never Doing Anything
At some point in my life, I got tired of being recognized as a loser, so instead of sabotaging situations that intimidated me (like getting thrown off the track team for smoking), I began to hide behind perfection. Here's how you do it: State a goal. Let’s use...

Misconceptions About Mindfulness
Why Bother Knowing You?
Why Bother Knowing You? People ask me why all of this introspection and intentionality and mindfulness and meditation are necessary. It’s an odd question in my mind, but I hear it often enough that it must have merit. If I take a moment, I remember when I would have...
Media Manipulation, Maniacs, and Majora’s Mask
Welcome to the final Sunday Pop-Up, where I talk about whatever pops into my head. Horror Movie Media I think about the media a lot. I am pretty sure they hold us in contempt (whoever “they” are in this scenario). Think about it – a month ago everything was about how...
