Minding My Own Damn Business
In this episode, Jordan talks about “minding your own damn business” as a practice of managing personal energy within the AYA Kosha by calling energy back, turning inward, witnessing what is present, and establishing a baseline through self-care (including physical needs like nutrients). They note how others’ emotions and constant media input can scatter energy, and recommend separating what is yours from what belongs to others, referencing The Courage to Be Disliked and the idea of locus of control. A David Bowie/Labyrinth synchronicity leads to the takeaway: “you have no power over me,” as a reclaiming of power. They reflect on self-study, slowing down content timelines to honor current energy, and cultivating quiet, rest, and grounding routines. They also cite Agility Quotient’s concept of “anchors,” linking it to Ayurvedic dinacharya and yoga practices for navigating modern “churn.” The episode closes with the mantra “namah” (not mine)
