LIVE B-I-G, my friend! B-I-G.
Inspiring people to LIVE B-I-G is my mission and I desperately want it for you.
But why? What does it mean? And how do you LIVE B-I-G anyhow? As a teenager I fell in love with entertaining audiences through acting and the art of magic. I also had Tourette Syndrome, which is a debilitating neurological disorder that manifests itself with uncontrollable body movements and vocalizations. I faced a unique set of challenges in my journey to fulfill my dream of becoming a professional entertainer.
Over the next ten years, I developed a process that helped me defy the naysayers, defeat self-doubt, and live the life that I desperately wanted to live. The result of my decade-long struggle – the powerful LIVE B-I-G system!

My favorite part of what I share in today’s video is when I share that learning is the one inner strength that grows all other inner strengths. Want to be more compassionate? Focus on learning how to be more compassionate. Want to be better at mindfulness? Learn more about mindfulness.
My second favorite part of today’s video is the fact that when you learn something, you can never unlearn it. Much like riding a bicycle, it stays with you.
With that in mind, today is an excellent day to study how learning can help you and me increase our resilience. Whether it is kindness, inner toughness, or any other inner strength, studying how to properly learn in regards to building resilience will help you become the person you are striving to be. So, what do you want to learn today?

My visit with comedy magician, juggler, speaker, and consultant Scott Cantrell was awesome! We chatted about our first meeting almost twenty years ago, what his experience was like performing shows on military bases overseas, and about productivity and marketing. He even teaches everyone a magic trick that you can make up and perform. Thank you for making the time to take part in Episode Three, Scott!
Also in Episode Three, I discuss the importance of learning when it comes to resilience. I share a video clip from my motivational program on the power of belief. Finally, I show a short clip of me performing a card trick during a meet and greet while on my Europe 2018 tour.

I’m sure you know the saying, “you are what you eat.'“ According to researchers, you are what you focus on, as well.
With that in mind, I believe that today is the perfect day to discuss mindfulness. Even though the world has slowed down, we still have many things vying for our attention. Why in the world should we be mindful? And what does that mean?
In today’s vlog, I explain mindfulness and give you some ways to better practice being in the moment. I also share how practicing mindfulness can help us deal with all the emotions that we are dealing with since so many of us are practicing self-quarantining due to COVID-19.

Episode Two of Jason Michaels TV was a blast! My special guest Grace Good shared with us all about her passion for hula hooping and the circus arts. She even performed a card trick over the screen with me! One of my favorite parts about having Grace as my special guest was when she shared her thoughts on mindfulness and hope. Powerful stuff, there. A big thanks to Grace for being an important part of this episode.
I continued my discussion of resilience with a short lesson on mindfulness and a two minute clip from my #DOTHEIMPOSSIBLE program about courage and bravery.
And we ended this week’s episode with a clip from the documentary Magical Time Travelers. In the clip, I perform a poignant and touching magic trick with a piece of thread that focuses on the subject of hope.

With the COVID-19 pandemic, people around the world have had to self-quarantine in order to be safe and stay healthy. Being forced to take an extreme measure like this will undoubtedly lead to frustration, sadness, loneliness, and depression for many people. There has never been a better time to develop resilience and mental toughness.
In today’s video clip, I share how compassion helps develop resilience. It is wonderful when we have compassion for others, but my focus is to help you develop compassion for yourself. Put away the self-criticism for the foreseeable future and realize that it is okay to accept your feelings for exactly what they are - perfectly natural considering the extraordinary circumstances.
Pay particular attention to the part where I discuss consoling your closest friend. That part of this short 3 minute video clip really speaks to me. I think it will you, too. Click here to watch the video and read the full article.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, everyone in the live events business has been forced to re-think “business as usual.” It was the realization that I was going to be spending a lot more time at home than normal that birthed the idea of creating Jason Michaels TV.
My idea for Jason Michaels TV was to combine the livestreamed performances that so many entertainers were doing with my own “talk show.” (I use the term “talk show” very loosely here!)
This is Episode One, my first attempt, at creating something that would be a fun distraction for everyone who is currently stuck at home, too. Enjoy! (And feel free to tell me what you think!)

I like to talk a lot about doing the impossible. You might say I’m obsessed with it. From magic tricks that appear to be impossible, to overcoming barriers that seem to be - the subject just speaks to me.
In today’s blog article, I wanted to share an excerpt from my book You Can Do the Impossible, Too! where I do something that others thought might not be possible for me to accomplish.
My hope, by sharing this, is that you might see yourself in this story. And if you don’t see yourself exactly, maybe the story will speak to that part of your soul that needs to hear it - because I firmly believe that you can do the things that feel impossible in your life, too…

“The things we believe about ourselves always prove to be true.”
That statement, from my program #DOTHEIMPOSSIBLE, can be hard to understand. After all, it would be very easy to debate the point. I guess that’s why I felt it was necessary to provide examples from my life after I made the statement.
For today’s #TouretteTalk I’ve decided to share a short video clip from my talk about why, and how, what we believe can define the way we see ourselves, the actions we take - virtually everything in our lives…

Yesterday was Independence Day here in the United States of America. Every year, on July 4th, we celebrate the brave, monumental feat that we accomplished 243 years ago - fighting for and claiming our independence.
Our founding fathers fought for freedom. They fought for freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom to assemble - all sorts of freedoms they believed were God-given rights. The fought for their freedom against a country they didn’t believe represented them. Talk about high-achievers!
On a seemingly unrelated note, exercise and physical fitness is my hobby. I enjoy going to the gym virtually every day. And for as long as I have been going to the Gold’s Gym in my area I have seen one man in there consistently who has impressed and inspired me.
This man is in the gym all the time. I can count on seeing him at least several times a week. I think it would be safe to say that physical fitness is a lifestyle for him, too. The big difference between him and me (besides the fact that he is in better shape and is more impressive looking than me) is that he wheels his wheel-chair around the gym as he moves from machine to machine getting in a solid workout…
