Taking Time Off: The Key to Realigning Life and Leadership | Multifamily Collective Hey everyone, welcome back to the Multifamily Collective! I'm fresh off a two-week break in Ireland, and this is the first episode I'm recording since returning. While I was away, it struck me just how essential it is to truly unplug—something I neglected for over 20 years. For anyone running full throttle without stopping, I can tell you firsthand: breaks matter. Whether it's a digital detox, time with loved ones, or simply connecting with nature, these pauses scrub the barnacles from your soul and let you re-engage with life more meaningfully. My good friend Dr. James Rouse often says it best—show up and be a beneficial presence for yourself and others. But to do that, you need self-care. As we approach the fourth quarter of 2024, I challenge you—when will you take the time to reset? Don't wait 25 years to realize what you've missed. Take the time now to be the best version of yourself for your family, your community, and your higher purpose.

The redevelopment of Harborplace downtown continues to be at the center of debate and speculation. The masterplan for this site's redevelopment will go before the city's planning commission this Thursday. Harborplace was sold to the private Baltimore developer MCB Real Estate in 2023. MCB unveiled new designs for the site which require a change in usage to allow two additional residential towers. City voters will be asked on Nov. 5 to consider a referendum question to allow that change on, what for decades has been considered, public parkland. The Inner Harbor Coalition is a group of residents, architects, stakeholders and others who are vocally against the referendum. Two members of the coalition join Midday to share their perspectives: Ted Rouse, local developer and son of Harborplace visionary James Rouse. Michael Brassert, Director/Producer at Houpla, Inc. and Federal Hill resident. We invited MCB officials yesterday to participate in this discussion, but they did not respond. P. David Bramble of MCB Real Estate joined Midday in May of last year to discuss his ideas for Harborplace.

Epigenetics, the study of how our behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way our genes work, offers a promising path to living long, strong, and vital lives. Unlike genetic changes, epigenetic changes are reversible and do not alter the DNA sequence. Instead, they affect how cells "read" genes. By understanding and harnessing epigenetic mechanisms, we can potentially turn off harmful genes inherited from our family and prevent them from manifesting in our lives. This can be achieved through lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, stress management, and exposure to toxins, which all influence epigenetic marks that control gene expression. To improve our epigenetics, we can adopt several strategies. A nutrient-rich diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats provides essential compounds that can modify epigenetic marks. Regular physical activity has been shown to induce positive epigenetic changes that support overall health and longevity. Additionally, managing stress through practices like meditation, yoga, and mindfulness can reduce harmful epigenetic effects caused by chronic stress. Avoiding exposure to environmental toxins by choosing clean, organic foods and using natural products also helps maintain a healthy epigenetic profile. By integrating these practices into our daily lives, we can actively shape our genetic destiny towards better health and well-being.

When we contemplate change, the amygdala—the brain's fear center—often activates, fueled by memories of past failures and negative experiences. This activation can paralyze us with fear, overshadowing our thoughts with doubts about potential outcomes. However, once we take the initial steps toward change, these fear centers begin to dim. By actively moving forward and facing our fears, we can clear the path for our brains to overcome these anxieties. This shift not only diminishes the power of fear but also empowers us to embrace new challenges with a clearer, more confident mindset.

The Bhagavad Gita teaches us that the greatest work of our lives is not just about what we do, but how we do it. It's about performing our duties with devotion and without attachment to the outcomes. Imagine engaging in every task with full presence, love, and a spirit of service. At the heart of the Gita's teachings is Karma Yoga, the yoga of action. This path encourages us to perform our duties with devotion and without attachment to the outcomes. Imagine undertaking every task with full presence, love, and a spirit of service. The Gita teaches that when our actions align with our inner truth and we dedicate our efforts to something greater than ourselves, we find true fulfillment.

What are you going to do today to be a change agent? Every one of us has been subject to rules over our lifetime. Today is the perfect day to question everything. If it makes you feel more alive, more hopeful, more purposeful, then you are playing at the right level. Don't dim your light. Don't conform to dark times. Rise into the vision that you hold when you are feeling most alive.

A life under the influence of peace would be marked by a profound respect for all life, a commitment to justice and equity, and an enduring pursuit of harmony in all relationships—personal, communal, and global. It would be a world where the well-being of the individual is intrinsically linked to the well-being of the whole, creating a sustainable and thriving planet for all. The peace prayer, attributed to (but likely not written by) St. Francis of Assisi, goes like this: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

Embracing the trees, we stand at the precipice of profound social activism, a movement not just for the health of our planet, but for the very essence of our collective soul. I invite you, with every step you take into the heart of the forest, to see it as an act of radical love—a love that transcends mere appreciation for nature's beauty and ventures into the realm of stewardship and advocacy. Forest bathing, or Shinrin-yoku, a practice originating from Japan, offers a unique and natural remedy for the prevention of burnout. By immersing oneself in the serene ambiance of a forest, individuals engage in a mindful experience that promotes mental and physical well-being. This practice has been scientifically linked to reducing stress levels, enhancing mood, boosting the immune system, and improving overall cardiovascular and metabolic health. The tranquility of the forest environment also encourages a deep connection with nature, fostering relaxation and rejuvenation. Through the simple act of being present in a forest, individuals can significantly mitigate the symptoms of burnout, leading to a more balanced and harmonious state of mind.

Think about the way you want to go out in the world today. Your kindness has a profound and far-reaching impact on the world. Every act of kindness, whether big or small, creates a ripple effect that touches the lives of countless individuals. When you extend a helping hand or offer a compassionate word, you not only brighten someone's day but also inspire them to pay it forward. Your kindness can break down barriers, bridge divides, and promote unity among diverse communities. It can provide hope in times of despair, comfort in times of sorrow, and strength in times of adversity. Ultimately, your kindness contributes to the collective betterment of humanity, creating a world where compassion, empathy, and understanding are the driving forces behind positive change.

This is the number one month of list-making. Are you a list-maker? This is also a time when, for many of us, our self-care falls to the bottom of the list. When we write something down, we increase our chance of that happening by about 85%. Are you on your list - the top of your list? It's easy to displace ourselves this time of year in relation to things that seem to be more important. But I am urging you today, put yourself at the top of your list.

When you are finally ready to overcome all the limiting and false ideas of who used to think you are and truly becoming all you came here to be.

What is Hell? Getting to the end of your life and meeting the version of you that you could have been.

Great change, growth, and transformation often require us to take action even when the timing may not be perfect. It's during these moments of uncertainty that we discover our true resilience and adaptability. Embracing the journey of personal and professional development, regardless of external circumstances, can lead to remarkable breakthroughs and a life filled with purpose and fulfillment. Step into that 51%.

Building a predictable path of peace via willpower is a profound challenge, one that Kelly McGonigal, a renowned psychologist and author, has illuminated through her research and insights. McGonigal's work emphasizes the transformative potential of willpower, drawing from the realms of spirituality and even the influence of blood sugar levels on decision-making. She highlights the role of self-control and inner strength, often associated with practices like meditation and prayer, in redirecting our impulses towards peaceful endeavors, even in the face of adversity. By tapping into our spiritual resources and maintaining stable blood sugar levels through mindful practices, we can enhance our capacity to make peace-driven choices and prioritize diplomacy over conflict. McGonigal's teachings encourage us to cultivate a deeper connection with our inner selves, fostering empathy, resilience, and determination. In doing so, we collectively strengthen our willpower, providing a more predictable route towards global peace, guided by the wisdom of spirituality and the science of self-control.

We are coming into this time of year where a lot can come up. The holidays tend to do that. Well today I want to talk about activating certain genes that are going to help support us, support our self-care, during the winter holidays, which can be challenging.

If you would love not to forget who you truly want to be, I've got a practice for you. The practice is simple. We do best under the influence of love and the world needs to see more of it, starting with us.

Whenever I truly connect with my self-love practice, I am better at leading others to love. There is a beautiful altruism that emerges under the influence of self-love. 

Life can throw some pretty tough challenges our way, but remember this: We are stronger than we think, and we can handle whatever comes our way. Discomfort makes us stronger. Whether it's tackling a difficult project, facing personal struggles, or simply navigating the ups and downs of everyday life, we have the power to overcome and thrive. Let's embrace the challenges that come our way as opportunities for growth and resilience. Let's support each other in our journeys, because together, we can do hard things and emerge even stronger!      

This is all about gene activity. This is all about what we can do today to uplevel our lives and our longevity. We know that our genes take cues from our lifestyle habits. Today I'm going to remind you of ten practices that will bring forth your best self. Our genes are not static entities but are influenced by our lifestyle habits in a phenomenon known as epigenetics. Epigenetics refers to changes in gene expression that occur without altering the underlying DNA sequence. Lifestyle habits such as diet, exercise, and stress management can all play a significant role in shaping our epigenetic profile.

Self-talk is a powerful tool that can either support or hinder your journey toward becoming the person you want to be. By cultivating positive and constructive self-talk habits, you can influence your beliefs, behaviors, and self-perception in ways that align with your aspirations and values.

Looking at research on resilience and mental health - finding things that we love and putting them in our day and following through and celebrating our good - this is key for predictable peace. 

Self-mastery is an ongoing process that requires dedication, practice, and self-reflection. It is about becoming the best version of yourself and consistently striving for personal growth and excellence, regardless of the external circumstances that may arise. It allows individuals to navigate life's ups and downs with grace and purpose, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Spending time in nature offers a multitude of benefits for both our physical and mental well-being. The natural world provides a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, allowing us to recharge and reduce stress. Breathing in fresh air and basking in natural sunlight can boost our mood and energy levels while promoting better sleep patterns. Outdoor activities like hiking, biking, or simply strolling through a park encourage physical fitness and can enhance our overall health. Nature's beauty inspires creativity and mindfulness, fostering a sense of awe and connection to the world around us. Ultimately, immersing oneself in nature provides a holistic approach to wellness, nurturing the body, mind, and spirit.

Self-recognition, often associated with self-awareness, brings numerous advantages to individuals. It enables them to gain insight into their strengths and weaknesses, fostering personal growth and development. Much like how mitochondria serve as the powerhouse of cells, providing energy for various cellular processes, self-recognition can be seen as the powerhouse of personal growth. It energizes individuals to explore their potential and overcome challenges, much as mitochondria fuel the body's activities. Moreover, self-recognition plays a vital role in building emotional resilience. Understanding one's emotions, triggers, and responses is akin to strengthening the body's immune system. Just as a robust immune system helps the body withstand external threats, emotional resilience equips individuals to cope effectively with life's ups and downs. This resilience allows people to bounce back from adversity, adapt to change, and maintain psychological well-being. Self-recognition fosters this resilience by helping individuals identify and manage their emotions, ultimately contributing to healthier relationships and a more fulfilling life. Overall, self-recognition, much like mitochondria within cells, serves as a cornerstone of emotional intelligence, personal well-being, and emotional resilience.

We know what makes us come alive when we slow down enough to allow the feeling to sink in. The more we allow ourselves to be in the currency of noticing and allowing, we start to come home again.

Today I am sharing five things that will help bring light into the darkness and help give us courage to love ourselves. Be compassionate with yourself. Be a witness for not abandoning yourself in spite of any pain. Feel it. Get outside in nature. 

Deep and Personal Significance happens when we have positive change and growth in our lives. We want to become ever better versions of ourselves. The vast majority of humanity wants to make a positive difference in the world. 

We all have different times in our lives when we are called to step up, to move forward, to hold the high water - to be a hero. There is no greater loss than not answering the call to step into our hero's journey. We are all heroes.

It's a spiritual practice to love ourselves very well. Is there room inside yourself to love yourself more? Are you open to it? Are you sensing there is room for growth there?

“In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few” ― Shunryu Suzuki The more curious we are and the more open we are to experiencing new things, the longer we may live. Having a sense of curiosity is actually linked to lower incidences of inflammation and greater longevity. 

Exercise the power of intention. It's how we identify our core characteristics that will help us overcome our adversity. This is also about having a cause that is greater than ourselves that puts us into motion.

Are you living in the valley of average? Choosing mediocrity? Take a look at your life right now and see how/where you may be settling. Don't settle for mediocrity. Climb that mountain and reach for the stars!

When I do these three things, I anchor how I want to show up in the world. Raise the condition of possibility. Empower yourself through the healthy self-care choices that you are making.

Success is no longer based on a person's IQ. It has much more to do with Emotional Intelligence (EQ). In fact having a high EQ is equivalent to greater success overall.

When we are pursuing our purpose and our virtues, we increase longevity on average 7 to 10 years. Friends pursuing the same happiness goals, similar purposes, increase our happiness and longevity.

What do you do to put your life in the world? And how do you keep the light on? Start with loving yourself. Put clean and healthy food into your body, spend time in nature, and move and stretch your body. Use your self-care as your primary activism. 

When our mitochondria are working and being augmented through our healthy lifestyle, all kinds of benefits come into play. I use four supplements religiously to help build my resilience and my mitochondria: Acetyl-l-carnitine, Mag threonate, CoQ10, PQQ - and I'm going to talk about them today. 

There's something hopeful about community coming together. Today I want to share a story that happened recently and really connected to my heart. It's about oneness and connection and I hope it hits you in a way that you want to outlove the hate, outshine the darkness.

When we decide we will love powerfully, not worry about being right or being accepted, we choose an emphatic yes because we are here to love. When all is said and done the only thing that matters is how well did we love while we were here? How well did we forgive? Our love is the most powerful energy that we will have the opportunity to know and express.

Consider your relationship with discipline. Discipline is freedom. Discipline keeps us holding the high watch, allowing us to become the greatest version of ourselves.

If you want to increase your emotional resilience, feelings of worthiness, spread good vibes, and increase your focus and self-discipline, here is a simple practice. Recognize the good that you do, the good that you are. It's that simple.
