We're already well into 2024 and it's sad that people still have enough fuel to complain about various aspects of their engineering life. DORA seems to be turning into one of those problem areas.Not at every organization, but some places are turning it into a case of “hitting metrics” without caring for the underlying capabilities and conversations.Nathen Harvey is no stranger to this problem.He used to talk a lot about SRE at Google as a developer advocate. Then, he became the lead advocate for DORA when Google acquired it in 2018. His focus has been on questions like:How do we help teams get better at delivering and operating software? You and I can agree that this is an important question to ask. I'd listen to what he has to say about DORA because he's got a wealth of experience behind him, having also run community engineering at Chef Software.Before we continue, let's explore What is DORA? in Nathen's (paraphrased) words:DORA is a software research program that's been running since 2015.This research program looks to figure out:How do teams get good at delivering, operating, building, and running software? The researchers were able to draw out the concept of the metrics based on correlating teams that have good technology practices with highly robust software delivery outcomes.They found that this positively impacted organizational outcomes like profitability, revenue, and customer satisfaction.Essentially, all those things that matter to the business.One of the challenges the researchers found over the last decade was working out: how do you measure something like software delivery? It's not the same as a factory system where you can go and count the widgets that we're delivering necessarily.The unfortunate problem is that the factory mindset I think still leaks in. I've personally noted some silly metrics over the years like lines of code.Imagine being asked constantly: “How many lines of code did you write this week?”You might not have to imagine. It might be a reality for you. DORA's researchers agreed that the factory mode of metrics cannot determine whether or not you are a productive engineer. They settled on and validated 4 key measures for software delivery performance.Nathen elaborated that 2 of these measures look at throughput:[Those] two [that] look at throughput really ask two questions:* How long does it take for a change of any kind, whether it's a code change, configuration change, whatever, a change to go from the developer's workstation. right through to production?And then the second question on throughput is:* How frequently are you updating production?In plain English, these 2 metrics are:* Deployment Frequency. How often code is deployed to production? This metric reflects the team's ability to deliver new features or updates quickly.* Lead Time for Changes: Measures the time it takes from code being committed to being deployed to production. Nathen recounted his experience of working at organizations that differed in how often they update production from once every six months to multiple times a day. They're both very different types of organizations, so their perspective on throughput metrics will be wildly different. This has some implications for the speed of software delivery.Of course, everyone wants to move faster, but there's this other thing that comes in and that's stability.And so, the other two stability-oriented metrics look at:What happens when you do update production and... something's gone horribly wrong. “Yeah, we need to roll that back quickly or push a hot fix.” In plain English, they are:* Change Failure Rate: Measures the percentage of deployments that cause a failure in production (e.g., outages, bugs). * Failed Deployment Recovery Time: Measures how long it takes to recover from a failure in production. You might be thinking the same thing as me. These stability metrics might be a lot more interesting to reliability folks than the first 2 throughput metrics.But keep in mind, it's about balancing all 4 metrics. Nathen believes it's fair to say today that across many organizations, they look at these concepts of throughput and stability as tradeoffs of one another. We can either be fast or we can be stable. But the interesting thing that the DORA researchers have learned from their decade of collecting data is that throughput and stability aren't trade-offs of one another.They tend to move together. They've seen organizations of every shape and size, in every industry, doing well across all four of those metrics. They are the best performers. The interesting thing is that the size of your organization doesn't matter the industry that you're in.Whether you're working in a highly regulated or unregulated industry, it doesn't matter.The key insight that Nathen thinks we should be searching for is: how do you get there? To him, it's about shipping smaller changes. When you ship small changes, they're easier to move through your pipeline. They're easier to reason about. And when something goes wrong, they're easier to recover from and restore service.But along with those small changes, we need to think about those feedback cycles.Every line of code that we write is in reality a little bit of an experiment. We think it's going to do what we expect and it's going to help our users in some way, but we need to get feedback on that as quickly as possible.Underlying all of this, both small changes and getting fast feedback, is a real climate for learning. Nathen drew up a few thinking points from this:So what is the learning culture like within our organization? Is there a climate for learning? And are we using things like failures as opportunities to learn, so that we can ever be improving? I don't know if you're thinking the same as me already, but we're already learning that DORA is a lot more than just metrics. To Nathen (and me), the metrics should be one of the least interesting parts of DORA because it digs into useful capabilities, like small changes and fast feedback. That's what truly helps determine how well you're going to do against those performance metrics.Not saying “We are a low to medium performer. Now go and improve the metrics!”I think the issue is that a lot of organizations emphasize the metrics because it's something that can sit on an executive dashboard But the true reason we have metrics is to help drive conversations.Through those conversations, we drive improvement.That's important because currently an unfortunately noticeable amount of organizations are doing this according to Nathen:I've seen organizations [where it's like]: “Oh, we're going to do DORA. Here's my dashboard. Okay, we're done. We've done DORA. I can look at these metrics on a dashboard.” That doesn't change anything. We have to go the step further and put those metrics into action.We should be treating the metrics as a kind of compass on a map. You can use those metrics to help orient yourself and understand, “Where are we heading?”.But then you have to choose how are you going to make progress toward whatever your goal is.The capabilities enabled by the DORA framework should help answer questions like:* Where are our bottlenecks?* Where are our constraints?* Do we need to do some improvement work as a team?We also talked about the SPACE framework, which is a follow-on tool from DORA metrics. It is a framework for understanding developer productivity. It encourages teams or organizations to look at five dimensions when trying to measure something from a productivity perspective.It stands for:* S — satisfaction and well-being* P — performance* A — activity* C — communication and collaboration* E — efficiency and flowWhat the SPACE framework recommends is that youFirst, pick metrics from two to three of those five categories. (You don't need a metric from every one of those five but find something that works well for your team.)Then write down those metrics and start measuring them. Here's the interesting thing: DORA is an implementation of SPACE. You can correlate each metric with the SPACE acronym!* Lead time for changes is a measure of Efficiency and flow* Deployment frequency is an Activity* Change fail rate is about Performance.* Failed deployment recovery time is about Efficiency and flowKeep in mind that SPACE itself has no metrics. It is a framework for identifying metrics.Nathen reiterated that you can't use the space metrics because there is no such thing. I mentioned earlier how DORA is a means of identifying the capabilities that can improve the metrics.These can be technical practices like using continuous integration.But they can also be capabilities like collaboration and communication. As an example, you might look at what your change approval process looks like. You might look at how collaboration and communication have failed when you've had to send changes off to an external approval board like a CAB (change approval board).DORA's research backs the above up:What our research has shown through collecting data over the years, is that while they do exist on the whole, an external change approval body will slow you down.That's no surprise. So your change lead time is going to increase, your deployment frequency will decrease. But, at best, they have zero impact on your change fail rate. In most cases, they have a negative impact on your change fail rate. So you're failing more often.It goes back to the idea of smaller changes, faster feedback, and being able to validate that. Building in audit controls and so forth.This is something that reliability-focused engineers should be able to help with because one of the things Sebastian and I talk about a lot is embracing and managing risk effectively and not trying to mitigate it through stifling measures like CABs. In short, DORA and software reliability are not mutually exclusive concepts.They're certainly in the same universe.Nathen went as far as to say that some SRE practices necessarily get a little bit deeper than sort of the capability level that DORA has and provide even more sort of specific guidance on how to do things.He clarified a doubt I had because a lot of people have argued with me (mainly at conferences) that DORA is this thing that developers do, earlier in the SDLC.And then SRE is completely different because it focuses on the production side. The worst possible situation could be turning to developers and saying, “These 2 throughput metrics, they're yours. Make sure they go up no matter what,” and then turn to our SREs and say “Those stability metrics, they're yours. Make sure they stay good” All that does is put these false incentives in place and we're just fighting against each other.We talked a little more about the future of DORA in our podcast episode (player/link right at the top of this post) if you want to hear about that.Here are some useful links from Nathen for further research:DORA online community of practiceDORA homepage[Article] The SPACE of Developer ProductivityNathen Harvey's Linktree This is a public episode.

Do you find yourself wondering, “how can I get more out of my creative flow?” Our best ideas often come in flow-state- when we are calm and in ‘the zone.' My clients often share with me how they can capitalise on flow and maximise their ideas to the fullest potential. Most people go about this the wrong way. They take a ‘capitalist' approach. If you want to capitalise on flow, how you do it is (ironically) NOT by the traditional capitalism mindset which says: Preserve what you can Take more than you need Expand as much as possible Instead, it's about learning to “ride the flow wave.” It's about being in a specific state of mind. Too much structure and conditions will extinguish flow, so it's about working with the balance. That's why in this episode I'm teaching you: how to lean into the flow wave how to direct your focus efficiently the importance of releasing control how you can utilise systems to help you “catch” the flow wave when it comes Enjoy the episode!

In most markets, it's becoming increasingly difficult for companies to differentiate on features alone. And even if a business develops a unique feature that's important for its customers, you can bet that the competition will follow suit quickly. A more sustainable advantage is to build a unique position in your customer's mind, combining the features and benefits of your offering with psychology, creativity, logic and emotion into a brand story that makes your business stand out from the crowd. Yet all too often, marketing teams just accept the bland, undifferentiated position they're in, and try to outdo the competition by spending more on ads, exhibiting on bigger trade show stands and sending ever more emails. In this episode of the Marketing Freed podcast, marketing and advertising expert, Jim O'Connor joins me to share the logical, systematic and simple process that any business can follow to uncover their brand story that sells.In this episode, we discuss:What is a brand storyThe sequence of steps to follow to uncover a brand story for your businessThe one thing that every great proposition should haveWhy talking to people you dislike can help your creativityTechniques for switching off your logical mind, and letting your creative subconscious flowWhat to do when you don't have anything remarkable in your productCONNECTJim O'Connor on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-o-connor-64ba2a1/ or https://storiesthatsell.co.uk/ David Richter on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-richter-clickpop/ or https://www.clickpop.co.uk/Jim's book The Authority Guide to Creating Brand Stories That Sell: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Authority-Guide-Creating-Brand-Stories-ebook/dp/B0756M8QLZ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/2rZo9Z5laMfQ9OsY9OVyPq?si=652f6e969f9e42ecApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/marketing-freed/id1731359462YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@MarketingFreedPodcast

Jeff and Jon have an amazing story of breaking into wholesaling and growing their own real estate portfolio in a short period of time! Jeff was a full-time insurance broker and Jeff worked in logistics - but always had dreams of doing something more and creating financial and time freedom for themselves and their families. They founded Ortiz Property Solutions with the goal of being recognized as one of the leaders in off-market deals both for wholesaling and for flipping. Since then, they have ventured into buy and holds and quickly moved into the larger multi-family space, specifically through the Syndication model in the U.S.A. THIS podcast is for you if you have little experience with investing or want to learn more about wholesaling!WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:They started on their own with no knowledge or experienceHow hiring a coach fuelled their success quicklyHow wholesaling has a low barrier to entry for many investors, as you don't need to qualify for a mortgage or take on debtWhy they started wholesaling in the USWhy small multi family is a logical step for investors to ensure there is always cash flowWhat is syndication, and why are Jeff & Jon doing it in the USHow the Wealth Genius Network helped them and why Jeff is now coaching with themHow Canadians can invest in the United StatesWhy they left their 9-5 corporate jobs DURING the pandemicHow they completed 30 assignment deals last year, AND picked up 4 multi family unitsAnd MUCH more!BioJefferson & Jonathan Ortiz, Born and raised in Bogota, Colombia, migrated to Hamilton, Ontario Canada, at the age of 9 and 11. They grew up with single mom and 4 siblings and not a lot of money or wealth, always wanted to make an impact. Jeff went on to follow the conventional path and graduated from insurance program at mohawk college and had tremendous success in his corporate career where he grew an insurance portfolio to over 3 million in 4 years as sales insurance broker. Jon graduated with a Logistics diploma and explored a career as well. In early 2020, they stumbled upon wholesale real estate and quickly hired a coach who specialized in Wholesale and Flipping,Check out Jeff Ortiz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeff.ortiz_va/Check out Jeff Ortiz on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jeffersonortizva?lang=enCheck out Jeff and Jon on their website: https://www.opropertysolutions.com/Check out Jeff on Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/jefferson-ortiz-56573b139/?originalSubdomain=caEmail Address: ortiz.propertysolutions@gmail.comCheck out Jeff Ortiz on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jefferson.ortiz.773Check out Jon Ortiz on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jon.ortiz.94Check out Jon Ortiz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jon.ortiz_va/To reach out to Jose & Khadija, head over to:website: www.savvyrealestate.caInsta:...

Stress is a reality for so many people these days, and yet, the path forward through it can seem so complex, and sometimes even debilitating.  In this episode we talk about how we think stress is in our heads, but when we pay attention, we notice how it show up in the body.  The impact of stress can be profound – and often also shows up in the body. Susan vulnerably discusses how stress for her was internal first, then led to back problems, hair loss, and other embodied signs that she couldn't ignore any more.  For Susan the simple act of cutting her hair was a way to take her power back.   Many of us struggle with the dangerous desire to be perfect  believing it will create comfort.  We are led to believe that perfectionism and doing it all “just right” will create more control. This conversation  challenges that ideal with the power of surrender.     Surrendering to your life can be hard when you have been driven by the need for perfection – especially if you've been messaged that it is the only way to feel safe.  This episode invites you to lean into surrender as a way to manage  anticipatory anxiety – as a step to moving toward surrender, with a reminder that the idea of doing it is actually harder than the action. Surrendering is about accepting where you are RIGHT NOW. You can be here and now and be okay. You do not have to force things. We also discuss: -Being defined by your trauma - Surrender and anxiety -Flow -What you resist persists -Process is an ongoing practice -Being intentional The healing path is never over.  Showing up for yourself now is the first step, and as Susan reminds us, there is so much personal power that comes from “minding your own plate.” About the Guest: Susan is a Psychotherapist based in New York and the host of Dreams and Detours, the podcast.  Her deep desire to shift from surviving to thriving led her on a long journey to heal old trauma while seeding herself for self-love and compassion. Susan's strength, courage, and curiosity led her to become a Certified Holistic Health & Wellness Counselor in 2006, earn a Bachelors of Social Work in 2017, and Master of Clinical Social Work in 2021.  Always the cheerleader, Susan encourages others to be true to themselves, and to embrace their beauty and flaws. About the Host: Tanya is your no-bs friend, teacher, social worker, and life coach! Her life has been many wtf moment including becoming a widow, struggling with weight and body image issues, dating after loss, single parenting, remarriage, and blending families. She is joyfully married to her second soul mate, the parent of 4 incredible kids (one of whom is LGBTQ2S+), and the momma to a sheepadoodle named Walter. As a speaker, writer, and coach, Tanya steps into her life's purpose daily – to INSPIRE HOPE.

On this episode we explore the difference between shares and tokens.

eBay flipping isn't something new. You've probably bought something on eBay that was sold by a reseller. Maybe a type of makeup you liked got discontinued. Maybe your favorite pair of jeans from a nationwide chain suddenly disappeared. For eBay resellers like today's guest, Tom Brickman (The Frugal Gay), it's all about finding the products that people love but can't get a hold of anymore.Tom is a master of frugality. Raised by a real estate investor, he knew what cash flow could do to a nine-to-five worker's life. So, at age twenty-one, Tom cashed in some company stock to buy his first multifamily. He inadvertently house hacked and was living in his own place for a whopping $138 per month! From there, he moved from his native Ohio to Texas where he got a full-time job, built his eBay flipping business, and never stopped reinvesting into rentals.As a side-hustle addict, Tom shares numerous stories about how he made (and lost) large sums of money by reselling on eBay. He even bought an entire house on eBay at auction, which came with bullet holes included. Talk about a deal! Now, retired well before sixty-five, Tom lives a life he loves with his partner, thanks to financial frugality! In This Episode We CoverWhy frugality at a young age can compound into massive wealth-building benefits ESPP and reinvesting your paycheck so you can use investments to buy cash flowWhat makes a great eBay flipping product and how to find the best deals around Commercial real estate investing and rehabbing properties for enormous equity gains Buying homes at auction online and why you shouldn't solely trust the zip code a house is inPaying off credit card debt quickly through hard work and smart money management And So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Money Facebook GroupBiggerPockets ForumsFinance Review Guest OnboardingScott's InstagramMindy's TwitterApply to Be a Guest on The Money ShowPodcast Talent Search!5 Frugality Myths Americans Believe That Would Make Ben Franklin CryA Beginners Guide to Hack Your Housing and Live for FreeHow to Pay Down Bad Debt—Fast!Check the full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/money-291See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

From Isaiah 40:1-20, Tommy Waltz gives a sermon on idolatry's dysfunctionality when compared to the Real Thing  -> God!   The Sermon's Flow: What does idolatry produce? But there are those God has chosen. Who is God? How dysfunctional is idolatry? What idol has ever benefited anyone? They know they believe a lie. Principals of Gospel conversations.

off-sea·sonnoun1.     a time of year when a particular activity, typically a sport, is not engaged in."during baseball's winter off-season"   Objective:  The wait is the most frustrating moment for most of us. We aim high and we do our best to reach our goals but sometimes we're faced with a not yet. That waiting season for our turn to get a seat at the table, to get the opportunity of our lifetime that will greatly affect how our future is going to be. Now what do should we do in this off season is what this episode will be about!  Flow: What is off season for me? Is that time of waiting or that time of conditioning and preparing for game day in most sports. When I use it in the general sense of life it's that waiting season, that process that “We should trust”. It looks different for everyone, it could be you waiting for your results from a school you applied for, you waiting for your visa or just you waiting to graduate. It's that waiting period before you go on and get grinding.  The thing is I think when people think about this, they just ultimately wait for their time to come. While that is encouraged and patience indeed is a virtue, there are so many things we have yet to learn. We need to keep ourselves ready.  Just like any sports and anything we do in our lives we have to prepare we have to get ourselves ready for what is to come. Instead of just waiting patiently there are areas of our lives that need transforming or tending to.  So on my off season, in the moment of waiting I seek growth in various directions. It may bring me to realizations and opportunities I have yet to uncover and unravel.   How I work on myself on my off season.  ·    I recenter and dig deep to understand what do I want. o  Since there isn't much that I can do to rush things I want to understand what is it that I really want, is the person I am today aligned to the goals and dreams of my future. o  Am I missing out on some signs about the lessons I should be learning? Am I missing out on my present life with the anticipation of what is to come.  ·    I condition myself to the life I choose. Looking for the things that I need to learn and grow during this off season o  What are the things that the future me should have as I work my way up to the life I've been dreaming to live.o  What habits should I try to have, how can I live a life aligned to my dreams. o  What do I imagine my future life would look like, what does a day in that future life look like. (As a form of manifestation)  ·    I tend to my relationships and celebrate the growth of people around me. o  I know that the anticipation of the future may take my time away from the people I have with me now. Sometimes I look forward to what I want neglecting and taking for granted the people I have with me now .o  While I wait I make sure to strengthen the relationships I have to keep the fire burning so that when I move on to the next chapter of my life, those who wish to stay through the journey will feel the love you have for them. o  We also have to understand that we live on borrowed time and we don't know when our lives will end so this is an important time to ground yourself in the now while holding out for your future.  ·    Constantly making an effort to be happy about the little things to prepare myself to be happy for the greater things to come. o  Now one of things I live by is that if you can be trusted with a little thing or happy with the simple stuff you can be trusted and enjoy the grander stuff that life has to offer. o  Now these detours, the wait may be uncomfortable but it is essential. o  So while we wait, we are taught to make a constant effort to find happiness in the spot we're in, while we anticipate of the happiness that is to come we don't forget to live in our present. o  To say that we truly lived every moment, we often forget so many things so quickly with the amount of things that could happen in a day. Can you even say that you were present and consciously happy throughout the most of it? Did you make the most of that day in your life? That present the universe has provided you.  ★ Support this podcast ★

fear/ˈfir/ nounan unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat."he is prey to irrational fears"   Objective:  This episode will tackle all the ways we could use fear into our advantage. A more personal approach in acknowledging all our fears and allowing it to just pass us by. Fear is just our thoughts of how things could all go wrong and at different parts of our lives fear has also helped us to move forward and keep on surviving. So being honest and vulnerable about fear is one way I could share with you how I deal with them as well.      Flow:What is Fear? Why is fear important? ·    Fear is an emotion and that at various points in our lives it has helped us to survive. It tells our body on how to react to certain things and it helped us make decisions that saves our butts from further trouble. ·    When people think of Fear the first things that come up is the idea of being scared. Of being scared of certain things and situations. Which somehow leaves a bad notion that fear is negative. That we should not fear anything at all. That's a lie okay. ·    Fear is a part of our life and has always been an essential part of our survival. It has taught us to not repeat certain things we've done before, it has alerted us to stay away from people that may cause us harm. The right dose of fear will help keep us on our toes and live a life that's full.    What do I fear? Why do I need to know what I fear?  ·    My fears: o  Failing in lifeo  Not achieving my dreamso  Not being happy and fulfilledo  Lizardso  I'm not doing enougho  Death of loved ones o  The future ·    We need to understand what we fear to know how we could deal with it. To know where we could grasp the courage and the heart to face all these. ·    To ground ourselves and not let these fears take over and immobilize us and keep us stuck.     Let's welcome Fear: The benefits of fear  ·    Fear help keeps us alive. Fear in the right dose makes us feel most alive and excited. This is evident in extreme sports or moments where we overcome something we've always fear we couldn't. ·    Fear makes us work harder, because we fear failure, we fear humiliation and we fear not making it. ·    Fear makes us live in the moment, that at any given time we may not have what we have anymore, so it teaches to stay grounded and make the most of our NOW.  ·    Fear also allows us to become open and vulnerable to people. It allows us to seek help when needed and at the right moments.  ·    Fear also gives us clarity in life, when your dreams and big moves in life scares you it points a mirror to what really matters to you and how far are you willing to go for those things that matter.   Taking back our power ·    I will start with courage isn't the absence of fear but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. A quote by Franklin Roosevelt and was also explained in several movies like LOTR and Lion King and etc. ·    That the brave fears things but does it anyway. How do we get over the fear? Do we truly get over the fear? ·    The big fears are valid and we can use it to our advantage to avoid doing reckless things and take precautions that could help us avoid these life threatening fears. Like illnesses, accidents and the likes. Being vigilant enough to be cautious in these respective areas. ·    But those small doses and non-life threatening we should push ourselves and go above and beyond it. ·    To be brave we first have to admit that we fear something. Acknowledgement of what we fear is key. ·    Face those fears as much as you can and admit when you need help in dealing with these fears. ·    Dig deep and assess why these fears have much power on you and take action to train and empower yourself to keep moving forward.   ★ Support this podcast ★

suc·cess/səkˈses/ noun1.                  1. the accomplishment of an aim or purpose."there is a thin line between success and failure"  Objective:  This episode aims to break myths on success being a one shoe fits all and to talk about moments when we feel like giving up and how we could bounce back from it. How do we get out of that pit of self-doubt and feeling like we are not enough because we don't have the success that this world has taught us .            Flow: What were the reasons that made you want to give up the things you're doing?   ·    I felt like giving on everything that I do just because I don't see external changes that I expected to see. ·    I tried so hard to conform with what society deems as successful, this in turn put so much pressure on me and didn't get to enjoy the fullness of life around me.    What does it mean to be successful?    ·    Successful in its sense of the word finishing something you aimed for.·    It's not a one shoe fits all approach, but success if relative to the person defining it due to the differences in perspectives, opinions and values. You find someone successful if they are aligned with the values you deem that a successful person should have.  How do we push thru the idea of giving up?   ·    Think before giving up, see and assess yourself if this situation you're in is aligned with who YOU are and the life you choose to have. What will you do with immense success if it's not something you enjoy doing. That it causes you to question your very existence in this world. ·    Dig deeper are you giving up or feeling like you've lost the fight because of other people's definition of success. Have you always compared yourself to how other people expect you to become. Their opinions may sting but yours is the one that matters most. Look back and see how far you've come from 5 years or even 3 years ago, you'll be surprised at how much you've grown. That in itself is success. TO GROW AND STILL BE ALIVE TODAY. ·    Don't give up just because you're failing in the eyes of others. Besides when you admit that you can't handle things now doesn't mean you can't handle it next time. We never actually give up we just say not now and come better prepared the next.  It's okay to not be ready, it's okay to say not now.  ·    In our lives we will have countless moments where we'd feel overwhelmed and unprepared for situations and tasks. Not because we're weak but it's just not the time for us there yet. ·    The reason for that is because of our constant rushing of things, now when things get overwhelming you have the right to say I'm not in the right state of mind to deal with this. (Simone Biles Reference) ·    Not now doesn't mean you're giving up, you simply know your capacity. (Explain quitting your job) ★ Support this podcast ★

He thought of the different things he can do to kind of escape that reality and to get to live the life that he wants to live. That's why he started investing in real estate, buying some rental properties over in Florida. Then he started to flip some homes locally in the Bay Area.

How dancing introduced her to the practice of mindfulness Her new book! In the Flow: Passion, Purpose and the Power of Mindfulness How feeling safe opens your heart. The meaning of courage – keeping the heart open even when you’re afraid Intuition – taking yoru awareness into your body and seeing what you’re sensing there Embracing and accepting The Monkey Mind…our stream of consciousness…”The Voice Within” Carrying the momentum from mindfully meditating into your life Her study at Childrens’ Hospital in D.C. that used guided meditations to help children overcome trauma from entering the hospital and from medical treatments Bringing the practice of mindfulness into schools How to start meditating Quotes from Debbie: On mindfulness: “If everybody would do this, learn to meditate, the world would be such a beautiful place.” “Any exercise that connects you with this form of self-awareness, what we’re finding is it enhances not only self-awareness, but the capacity for self-regulation and self-control. And a lot of people shy at that word control, yet that is what we seek. I prefer to call it coordination, the ability to coordinate what we choose to do, how we choose to feel.” “Different things work for different people. The journey to well-being is not a single path. It’s different journeys for different people.” “To stay physically fit is not something that you just do occasionally.” “I think a lot of us feel like we’re seekers. We’re on this journey looking for the way to live right. What makes things tick…how do we keep setting ourselves upright, or as I say in the book, ‘back in the flow.’” Contact Debbie: The Mindfulness Center MInd Body JournalTwitter: @MindfulnessCntr Facebook: Facebook.com/TheMindfulnessCenter Debbie’s book: In the Flow: Passion, Purpose, and The Power of Mindfulness
