  If your foundation isn't solid, your life will eventually come crashing down. In this episode, Daron Earlewine unpacks The Four Foundations—a framework for building a life that lasts, rooted in love, purpose, and spiritual truth. Key Takeaways: Building a meaningful life begins with love—not ambition—and love is built on four foundational needs. If we don't intentionally build on a solid foundation, everything in our lives—business, marriage, dreams—can come down with a great crash. Jesus doesn't say if the storm comes, but when. Your foundation determines what will stand. To love others well, we must first allow ourselves to be seen, known, affirmed, and blessed by God—and then offer that same foundation to others. You weren't created to be a human doer—you're a human being created to bless, not just build. Quotes: "The foundation of your life determines the future of your life." "Love is the only foundation strong enough to weather life's storms." "To be fully known and truly loved is a lot like being loved by God." – Tim Keller "You were created to bless, not just to build." "If you're not seen, known, affirmed, and blessed, you're not fully alive."

Karla Johnston shares about how Zen practice supports us in using "imperfections" as gateways to increased awareness. The Four Foundations of Mindfulness are expanded upon as tools for embracing an authentic life along with poetry, song and a brief guided "Imperfection" practice.

This week's episode is all about the four foundations of endo health. I'm super excited about the upcoming launch of the Endo Warrior Circle, a subscription-based program where everything is broken down into these four essential foundations. Today, I want to give you a sneak preview of the overarching topics we'll be covering, and help you figure out what you need to support right now.In today's episode, you'll hear:-The foundations are what you need to build a solid base to help you create a sustainable approach to managing endo. Focusing on one thing at a time will help you make progress with your endo symptoms and sustain that progress for the long term.  - 1.  Mindset and stress: Often overlooked, mindset and stress management are crucial. Believing that you can heal your body and improve your symptoms is the first step toward better health.-2.  Diet:  an essential part to manage endo symptoms, and the best diet to focus on is an anti inflammatory diet.  -3.  Sleep: Prioritizing sleep and having good sleep habits are crucial when managing endo symptoms. Sleep impacts your diet, stress, and mindset. -4.  Lifestyle: This includes movement, eating habits, creating space for healing, resting, and doing activities you love. A balanced lifestyle is key to managing endo and enhancing your overall quality of life.-While supplements can be helpful, a quality diet is more important. Additionally, seeking help from mental health professionals, functional practitioners, acupuncture, pelvic floor therapy, and other resources can be extremely beneficial in supporting these foundations.Making one positive change at a time creates a snowball effect, pushing your life in the direction you want. It's tempting to change everything at once, especially when in pain, but sustainable progress comes from focusing on one foundation at a time.  When you focus on one, the rest will improve because each foundation relies on the other.  Doors are open from June 24th-28th. After that, you can join the waitlist. In the Endo Warrior Circle, we'll dive deeper into these topics and more. I hope to see you there!Resources:Episode 34Episode 35 Subscribe to The Endo Belly Girl Podcast: Apple | SpotifyConnect w/ Alyssa: Instagram Website Work w/ Alyssa: Free Endo Diet Guide Work with me 1:1 Join Endo Warrior Circle waitlist Learn more about AlyssaDisclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only.

Today I'm sitting down with content creator Jon Sherman as we explore the intersection of golf, social media, and mental resilience.   Listen in as Jon and I discuss the importance of setting boundaries on social platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and how the digital world impacts not just our own lives but those of future generations. We share our thoughts on the Masters tournament, where we witnessed mental fortitude in action from the likes of Ludvig Åberg and Collin Morikawa. We delve into the emotional rollercoaster of competitive golf and how mindset alone can make or break your game. We talk about the highs and lows of tournament play, from winning medals to battling self-doubt, and the impact of living up to expectations in the spotlight. I open up about my own experiences on the course, revealing how vulnerability and personal growth play a crucial role in not just sports but life itself. Our dialogue shines a light on the idea that sometimes, stepping into the arena is a victory in its own right. Lastly, we talk about creating rich and authentic content that resonates with everyday golfers, highlighting Jon's relatable insights that speak to players at every level.

12/02/2023, Kyoshin Wendy Lewis, dharma talk at City Center. This talk from Beginner's Mind Temple addresses the aspect of philosophy in the practice and study of Buddhism, based on the fourth - contemplation of the dharmas - of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. One of the qualities of philosophy and practice not usually explicitly referred to is poignancy, which includes the pathos of human nature and a realization of the unresolvability of the human condition.

Talk 6 (of 12) from an in-person retreat at Birken Forest Monastery in May of 2023.

Three core elements of mindfulness is the topic of today's episode. At its simplest level, to be mindful is to pay attention on purpose. To be aware, to breathe, to be still, and to observe. Mindfulness is also to experience what is happening in this very moment in time. Mindfulness is to accept without judgment the thoughts and emotions you experience. Listen & Subscribe on: iTunes / Stitcher / Podbean / Overcast / Spotify 1/ Being Present Mindfulness is about being fully present and aware of what's happening right now. It's like focusing on the present moment on purpose. By doing this, you can learn more about yourself, your thoughts, and your biases. Instead of dwelling on the past or constantly thinking about the future, mindfulness helps us stay in the “now.” When you practice mindfulness, you pay attention to what you're doing or feeling at the moment. This can be as simple as focusing on your breathing. For example, you can say to yourself, “I am breathing in, I am breathing out” as you take slow breaths. By doing this, you become more aware of your thoughts and feelings without getting lost in worries or regrets. Mindfulness can help reduce stress and negative emotions like anxiety and sadness. It's like taking a break from our usual worries and being more present with ourselves and the world around us. You can practice mindfulness through meditation, yoga, or even by doing one thing at a time and giving it your full attention. For instance, right now, I'm writing this without any distractions, like meetings or emails. It's a simple idea, but it can make a big difference in how we feel and understand ourselves. So, focus on the present moment and give it your energy and attention because it's the only moment that truly matters. 2/ Acceptance Mindfulness means accepting things as they are and being open to whatever may come. It's not just about focusing on the present moment; there's also an attitude that goes along with it. This attitude is described as being open, accepting, and curious. To practice mindfulness, people learn to sit quietly and pay attention to what's happening inside them at any given moment. The goal is to let thoughts and emotions flow naturally without trying to control or judge everything that happens. This can be hard for beginners and even experienced practitioners can find it challenging to stay accepting and open for long periods. In our culture, we're often taught that some thoughts and emotions are better than others, and we should try to stop our thoughts or change our emotions. But mindfulness encourages acceptance and openness, which can lead to a sense of stillness. Just being still and observing without trying to change anything might feel strange or uncomfortable, but that's the idea – to simply “be” in the moment. When we're still, thoughts and emotions come and go quickly or slowly, and they can change without us trying to make them change. Becoming aware of these patterns inside us and being curious about them is an important first step in practicing mindfulness. In addition to being present and having the right attitude, there are three more elements of mindfulness that we'll be discussing in this book. These elements help capture the true spirit and essence of mindfulness, and they're important for applying mindfulness in sports and other areas of life. 3/ Being Non-Judgmental Mindfulness includes an important aspect called “Nonjudging,” which means not judging or labeling our thoughts and emotions. In many cognitive behavioral techniques, there is a tendency to judge and label our thoughts and feelings, but mindfulness encourages us to take a different approach. Imagine you're sitting by a river, and your thoughts and emotions are like things floating down the river. Instead of getting caught up in each thought or emotion, you can observe them from a distance. This helps us realize that not all our thoughts are rational, and some emotions aren't connected to what's happening right now. We don't have to believe everything our mind tells us. For example, if athletes often feel anxious about their performance, they might label themselves as “chokers” or “head cases.” Mindfulness can teach them to see that anxiety comes and goes, and it doesn't define who they are. It's the same with feelings like grief or depression; they are part of our experience but don't define us. Having a nonjudgmental attitude allows us to accept the present moment as it is, without categorizing everything as good or bad. It gives us the space to linger in the present and fully experience it without constantly judging and evaluating everything. In mindfulness, the first step is getting to the present moment, but the nonjudging attitude is what allows us to accept and appreciate it fully. By observing our thoughts and emotions from a safe distance, we can better understand our internal patterns and have a more meaningful experience in the present moment.

These days, the word mindfulness has become a buzz phrase but very often people don't know what the word actually means, much less how to practice it. One simple definition of mindfulness is the ability to see what's happening in your mind without getting carried away by it. The benefits of doing so are vast and profound— from decreased emotional reactivity to being more awake to what's actually happening in your life.Today's guest Joseph Goldstein talks about a classic Buddhist list called the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, which lays out various techniques for developing mindfulness within your practice.Goldstein is one of the premier western proponents of Mindfulness. He co-founded the legendary Insight Meditation Society alongside Sharon Salzberg and Jack Kornfield. He also wrote a book called Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening.In this episode we talk about:The historical context for the four foundations of mindfulness Why he thinks the Buddha loved listsWhy the Buddha placed mindfulness of the body first on the listThe steps to mastering mindfulness of the bodyThe meaning of the word embodied and how that's different from our usual mode of being in the worldHow and why to do walking meditationsWhat are feeling tones and why are they importantPractices for cultivating mindfulness of mindThe mantras that Joseph uses when teaching Full Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/tph/podcast-episode/joseph-goldstein-483-rerunSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“Mindfulness” has become a buzz phrase. There are books on mindful parenting, mindful lawyering, even mindful sex. But what does the word even mean? And how do you actually do it? In one of his most famous and foundational discourses, the Buddha was said to have laid out, in great detail, four ways to establish mindfulness. In today's episode we're going to walk through these four “foundations” of mindfulness with Sally Armstrong, who started practicing in 1981, began teaching 15 years later, and now leads retreats all over the world.We posted this episode a few years ago, but thought it might be a good time to drop a good, old-fashioned, meat and potatoes, stick to your ribs dharma episode to help us get back to basics. Because, like Sally says, Guru Google can only get us so far…In this episode we talk about:How Sally got started in meditation – including sitting and in person retreat with SN Goenka and living near the Dalai LamaUsing our meditation to align on intentions and values and seeing that we have a choice once we wake up.

How your sexuality goes in a particular day or week is pretty much a reflection of the rest of your heart, mind, spirit, and being. In that regard, it's just like meditation—you sit down, close your eyes, and you get to see what's there: frustration, anger, happiness, or love. Sexuality serves the same way, physically, but even more so emotionally." – Jack KornfieldIn this episode, Jack mindfully explores:The relationship between spirituality, sexuality, and our lives Why sexuality is such a major part of our culture Our underlying fear of true intimacy Suzuki Roshi's koan of "How do you realize Buddha while making love?" The Four Foundations of Mindfulness in relation to our sexuality Wounds, trauma, healing, and the body Using relationships in a skillful way to grow Tantra, breath, and going beyond ourselves"If you look at our culture, television and mass media, sex is such a big part of it. Why is it such a big thing in our culture and our lives? Because, in part, it's a vehicle to go beyond ourselves." – Jack KornfieldThis Dharna talk from 1987 at Spirit Rock Meditation Center was originally published on DharmaSeed.orgSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today, I'm joined by Jon Sherman, author of The Four Foundations of Golf, and creator of the Four Foundations Masterclass based on the book.  Jon shares a powerful story about playing golf with his father in Florida, which served as the catalyst for the four foundations concept and emphasizes the importance of aligning expectations with the reality of our abilities in the game.  The concept of managing expectations on the golf course is something that resonated deeply with both of us. Through our conversation, Jon and I explored the delicate balance between competition and enjoyment in golf, and how adjusting expectations can lead to a more satisfying experience on the course.  Jon and I delve into the crucial role that practice and feedback play in improving golf performance. Drawing from his own experiences and insights, Jon shared tips on how to strike the right balance between practice and play, and how to manage expectations with the two thirds rule and the PGA Tour Fallacy.  Sign up for The Four Foundations of Golf Masterclass at www.fourfoundationsofgolf.com/masterclass!  Key Highlights   Many players approach golf with an all-or-nothing mentality, basing their skill level on the success or failure they experience directly in front of them. Throw away this mindset. One of the greatest indicators of growth in the game of golf is incremental progress. Golf shots can be divided into three phases: tee shots, approach shots, and finesse shots. Virtually no golfer can nail all three shots above average in one game. Focus on getting at least one of these three shots right to take the pressure off of yourself and build your resolve. The PGA Tour Fallacy is when a golfer overestimates the ability of a PGA Tour player based on the highlight reel they see on TV. Temper your expectations for yourself by realizing that the best golfers in the world are nowhere near as flawless as the media makes them out to be. Find the right balance between practice and play for you. Think of playing as a form of practice, and that you can learn from the experience. Sometimes shooting your best score ever can be bittersweet. No matter how good you get at this game, there's a Jekyll and Hyde side to you, and the low-mid single-digit handicap is one of the most tortured golfers.    You can also watch the episode on YouTube HERE.  For more information on the Breaking Bogeys Coaching Membership, please visit: BreakingBogeys.com.
