David Reynold's, author of Constructive Living, has taken the philosophies of Morita Therapy and Naikan to create an approach to life by the same name. In this episode, Carly talks about the action side of CL, where instead of waiting to feel better before we take action, we do what needs to be done, despite how we feel.

Individuals can be predisposed to addiction through genetics says Dr. Marty Lerner, head of Milestones in Recovery  https://www.milestonesprogram.org/  In his book, A Guide to Eating Disorder Recovery, Defining the Problem—Finding the Solution, he outlines the nature of the disease of food addiction and how to recover. Dr. Lerner talks about the “perfect storm”, a person being an addict and seeking brain pleasure-center hits of dopamine and having the available substance, food can lead to the disease of food addiction. Food addicts can recover and enjoy glorious lives free of their substances through daily disciplines such as having a food plan, and exercise, despite whether they are motivated, saying, “When we develop the discipline of doing what needs doing despite the feelings or intrusive thoughts we are moving toward the solution. It's a doing process, not a thinking or feeling process”, Dr. Lerner says. At Milestones in Recovery, the professionals work to identify with the individual what substances trigger a physiological response for which willpower is not a solution, and encourage complete abstinence from the triggers.   Through what he calls “Constructive Living” we gain freedom from our habitual patterns of self-destructive behaviors and reclaim our lives. In recovery from food addiction, Dr. Lerner emphasized the need for an acronym called SMERF: Spirituality, Meditation, Exercise, Rest, and a Food Plan. The food, pharmaceutical, and insurance industries are financially motivated to get and keep people addicted to sugar, flour, and other processed foods. Until it is recognized that sugar can be addictive, is an additive, and not a food, and other substances such as flour and processed foods are addictive, food addiction will continue to contribute to the obesity crisis in the U.S.  

In this episode I speak to you straight from the heart. I try to help you learn how to win the battle against fear and gain the courage to face anything. A book I referred to:Constuctive Living...Constructive Living (Kolowalu Books (Paperback))https://www.amazon.com/Constructive-Living-Kolowalu-Books-Paperback/dp/0824808711 - 740k - Cached - Similar pagesThe "Constructive Living" is a short 100 page book on a Japanese therapy technique called Morita therapy for treating depression, and anxiety as well as failure .

To Get What You REALLY Want   Not too long ago, we chatted about MLB All-Star Sean Casey (The Mayor!) going 0 for 12 one season when he was batting nearly .400.    As you may recall, his coach told him that he didn't care about those numbers. What his coach cared about was whether or not he was dominating his protocol.   In that context, I asked you if YOU were going through a rough patch—perhaps feeling like you were going 0 for 12 in your Energy or your Work or your Love.   Then I gave you a couple of hugs as I playfully told you that I love ya () and… I don't ultimately care about the current state of those things.    Then I said that what I DO care about is whether or not you are working your protocol.    I asked:   Do you know who you are at your best in your Energy, your Work and your Love? Are you recommitting to being that best version of yourself every morning?   Do you know what virtues that best version of you embodies? Are you recommitting to showing up with those virtues every morning?   Do you know what specific things you DO when you're most on fire? Are you recommitting to those things every morning and then ACTUALLY DOING those things every day?   Now…   All that's nice and hopefully helpful even if it's not all that warm and fuzzy (!) but…   Let's simplify it even more.   ULTIMATELY, although it's VERY helpful to know who you are and how you show up when you're at your best in your Energy, Work and Love (which, of course, is why we architected the Heroic app to help you do exactly that!), we can simplify the game of life even more.   Let's invite some more great thinkers to the party to tell us what they think…   First, the great spiritual teacher Byron Katie tells us that there's always (!) only (!) ONE THING we need to do.    If it's doing the dishes, do the dishes. If it's doing the laundry, do the laundry. If it's taking a deep breath or going on a walk or sending that email or making that phone call or apologizing to that loved one or turning the electronics off to get a good night of sleep or … FILL-IN-THE-BLANK with whatever might be the next thing, do that FILL-IN-THE-BLANK next most important thing—however mundane or scary you may think it is.    Repeat. Over and over and over again. Ideally, with a smile… Loving What Is as you show up as your best self.   Then we have David Reynolds. He's a Zen therapist who wrote the great little book Constructive Living. What's he tell us? The SAME THING.    The question he gives us is as powerful as it is simple.   Here it is: “Now what needs to be done?”   Life feel overwhelming?    Perfect.   “Now what needs to be done?”   Still feel a little wobbly?   Perfect.   “Now what needs to be done?”   Navy SEAL sage Mark Divine echoes this wisdom. The metaphor he uses comes from the battlefield of war. When chaos shines its dark light on our world, he tells us that we need to SIMPLIFY THE BATTLEFIELD and create FRONT-SIGHT FOCUS.   In other words, what's THE next most important thing you need to do?   DO THAT.   Repeat.   Over and over and over again.   Peak performance coaches say the same thing. They tell us that elite performers maintain a “task focus” in the midst of extreme pressure. They don't think about everything that could go wrong (or right), they think about…   WHAT NEEDS TO GET DONE RIGHT NOW.   Over and over and over again.   So, yah. Even without thinking about who you are your best in your Energy, Work and Love, you can always win the ultimate game of life by doing one simple thing: Whatever that moment demands of you.   btw: We can simplify ALL THAT wisdom even further.   How about we distill ALL THE GREAT WISDOM across ALL THE GREAT WISDOM TRADITIONS into one simple word?   I tattooed it on my right arm.   ARETE.   Close the gap between who you're capable of being and who you're actually being.    Not someday.    TODAY.   Not some moment.    RIGHT NOW.   +1. +1. +1.   All day. Every day.    Especially TODAY.   Bonus points: Do it with a smile!    + + + 

In his popular book Constructive Living, David Reynolds teaches us an important lesson that will literally allow us to flip a switch in our lives in order to do the things that we often put off on doing.    He teaches that we've had it wrong for many years when it comes to believing that the way that we feel is what makes us do or don't do things in our lives.    Tune in as Coach Ashlie Walton and Detective Walton discuss how action and motivation equal feelings and not the other way around.    ⩥ PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL ⩤ https://bi3xbvVont.ly/   CLICK HERE for our best-selling products: https://amzn.to/3xaG3xw and https://rdbl.co/3DIQVUC   CLICK HERE to join our free Police, Fire, Military and Families Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/38w2e7r   Check out our website and learn more about how you can work with LEO Warriors by going to: https://www.leowarriors.com/   Like what you hear?

This deep dialogue uncovers many spiritual laws in everyday life. Millman gives us a taste of the four mentors who guided him on his spiritual quest. He calls these teachers The Professor, The Guru, The Warrior-Priest, and The Sage. They transmitted practical wisdom and spiritual laws for living wisely and well. These laws are immutable as gravity. Dan Millman is a lifelong student and longtime teacher of practical wisdom devoting his life to mastery, first in sports and then in everyday life. He is a former World trampoline champion, Stanford gymnastics coach, and Oberlin College professor. He teaches The Peaceful Warrior's Way and is the author of 18 books published in 29 languages including Way Of the Peaceful Warrior (adapted to a 2006 feature film.)

Σε αυτό το 33ο επεισόδιο συναντάμε τον David K. Reynolds στο μικρό αλλά θαυμαστό Constructive Living και μαθαίνουμε τις πέντε αρχές αυτού του τρόπου ζωής.

The second episode is an interview with David K. Reynolds.  David, is the creator of Constructive Living.  Constructive Living is based on Morita Therapy and the Naikan mindfulness practice both of which originated in Japan.  PACT's emphasis on "outside focused attention" and doing what needs to be done to promote secure functioning come from Constructive Living.  In the expert interview, David explains Constructive Living and how he has dedicated his adult life to translating Naikan and Morita for a western audience.  He is an amazing example of someone who embodies their practice and was the perfect person to talk to for the first podcast interview.  0:00-28:45- Interview with Stan Tatkin about Constructive Living28:45-1:20:45- Interview with David K. Reynolds about Constructive LivingHere are some of the links mentioned in the episode:Constructive Living Website:https://constructiveliving2.weebly.com/Playing Ball on Running Water:https://www.amazon.com/Playing-Ball-Running-Water-Japanese/dp/0688039138David's Audio Book:https://www.audible.com/pd/Constructive-Living-Audiobook/B017HQBNMS  

My guest this week is Gregg Krech, who specializes in Japanese psychology. We focused on the principles of Morita therapy, which emphasizes taking action that brings meaning to one's life. This approach contrasts with our tendency to dwell on how we feel and what we feel like doing, and to get lost in self-focused attention. By asking instead, "What needs to be done?" we can build a life defined by meaning and usefulness. Topics we discussed in this episode include: Valuing action over words, and purpose over feelings The distinctions between Morita therapy and action-oriented Western therapies like CBT The power in realizing we can accomplish things that are important to us even if we’re feeling anxious, down, or other uncomfortable feeling states Overlap between Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Morita therapy Feeling better as a “fringe benefit” of Morita therapy Co-existing with one’s feeling state while doing what one wants to do The suffering that comes from self-focused attention The benefits of shifting our attention from our internal experiences to the world around us How to know which action is the right one to take at a given time The contemplative Japanese practice of Naikan Figuring out what to do by starting with action The problem with trying to figure out life in your mind The crucial role of momentum to combat paralysis The effects of technology on our attention span, and our experience of life The joy and pleasure we can find by being in the present moment of our lives The compatibility of fun with Morita therapy Feelings as one actor or actress, and not the director of the play Acceptance as a common precursor to action The Rule of 3 for setting priorities The power of helping others to put our own problems in perspective The history and mission of the Tōdō Institute in Monkton, Vermont The concept of having, on average, 30,000 days in a lifetime Early in the episode I mentioned the book that introduced me to Morita therapy, Constructive Living by David Reynolds, who offered Gregg his first introduction to Japanese psychology. (A percentage of each purchase made through this affiliate link will be used to support the podcast, at no additional cost to you.) Here's the fascinating book Gregg mentioned called The Un-TV and the 10 mph Car. We focused our discussion around concepts from Gregg's book The Art of Taking Action: Lessons from Japanese Psychology. Some of Gregg's other books include (these are affiliate links): A Natural Approach to Mental Wellness: Japanese Psychology and the Skills We Need for Psychological and Spiritual Health Naikan: Gratitude, Grace, and the Japanese Art of Self-Reflection Question Your Life: Naikan Self-Reflection and the Transformation of our Stories Tunneling for Sunlight: Twenty-One Maxims of Living Wisdom from Buddhism and Japanese Psychology to Cope with Difficult Times Gregg Krech is an author, poet, and one of the leading authorities on Japanese psychology in North America. His work has been featured in The Sun magazine, Tricycle, SELF, Utne Reader, Counseling Today, Cosmopolitan, and Experience Life. Gregg and his wife, Linda Anderson Krech, founded the TōDō Institute, a non-profit center in Vermont that uses Japanese psychology as an alternative to traditional Western approaches to psychology. Over the past 25 years, Gregg has introduced Japanese Psychology—particularly Naikan Therapy, Morita Therapy, and Kaizen—to thousands of people through his books, workshops, retreats, and online courses. His work supports a blend of the psychological, the spiritual and the practical, and helps individuals to clarify purpose, cultivate gratitude, develop compassion and engage in meaningful action. Gregg is a member of the North American Naikan Counsel and Editor-in-Chief for the quarterly journal Thirty Thousand Days: A Journal for Purposeful Living.

In our last +1, we talked about our new Optimus launch code: "5… 4… 3… 2… 1… Now what needs to be done?”    Although I didn’t make the second part of the little launch mantra explicit, we connected Mel Robbins’s brilliant 5 Second Rule with David Reynold’s Constructive Living Rule.   It’s always awesome to see teachers from such different backgrounds say basically exactly the same thing.   As you may recall, Reynolds is a Zen therapist who wrote a great little book called Constructive Living.    He tells us: “Our behavior is controllable in a way that our feelings are not. There is a very special satisfaction for the Artist of Living who works within life’s limits to produce a fine self-portrait. The more control we develop over our actions, the more chance we have of producing a self we can be proud of.”   His mantra?    “Now what needs to be done?”   (We have a +1 on this already but it’s worth a replay.)   Don’t feel like doing something you know you need to do? No problem.    “Now what needs to be done?”   Happen again? Fantastic.   “Now what needs to be done?”   (Laughing.)   Repeat. All day. Every day.   And, if you’re feeling it, rock the 5 Second Rule with it as well.   "5… 4… 3… 2… 1… Now what needs to be done?”    That’s Today’s +1.   One more time:   "5… 4… 3… 2… 1… Now what needs to be done?”    Step forward into growth. Flip the switch.    Close the gap between who you’re CAPABLE of being and who you’re ACTUALLY being.   Again and again and again.   5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BLASTOFF!
