This week my guest is biomechanist Katy Bowman, author of twelve–count ‘em, twelve–books that explore how to improve health and boost well-being through movement, including the best-selling “Move Your DNA,” as well as her newest, “I Know I Should Exercise, But….” Her back catalog includes “My Perfect Movement Plan,” “Rethink Your Position,” “Movement Matters,” “Dynamic Aging,” “Grow Wild,” “Simple Steps to Foot Pain Relief,” “Diastasis Recti,” “Don't Just Sit There,” “Whole Body Barefoot,” and “Alignment Matters.” In fact, Katy has published so many books that she founded her own independent press, Uphill Books.

Raised by a shaman and surrounded by death, Biet Simkin shares her personal journey of overcoming the death of both of her parents, her infant daughter and transforming her life through breathwork, yoga, and meditation. Biet teaches that everyone has the ability to live an expansive and fulfilling life, and she offers practical tools and practices to help individuals tap into their own power and connect with the divine.

This episode of the Language of Love is a special one! I'm thrilled to share with you the beautiful talk Biet Simkin gave at our Good Grief Day event. Biet is a spiritual teacher and musician whose life story is a profound testament to the resilience of the human spirit. She shares her journey of healing and takes us through her powerful breathwork practice (make sure you aren't driving or operating heavy machinery when you do it!).  Biet opens her heart to us, sharing her personal narrative of navigating through the darkest valleys of loss and emerging into the light of purpose and spiritual awakening. She speaks candidly about her descent into depression and self-destructive behavior, a tumultuous period exacerbated by the vibrant yet chaotic New York City art scene. The story takes a heartbreaking turn when she recounts the unimaginable loss of her infant daughter to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). That tragedy was only compounded by the subsequent deaths of her father and the loss of her home. It's at her breaking point that Biet surrenders to a higher power, marking the beginning of her transformation. She leads us in a grief meditation and discusses her unique breathwork technique. I have personally experienced the benefits of breathwork and can't wait for you to try it. You will learn: Biet's personal story of loss; her struggles with depression, substance abuse, and grief, and how it transformed her Biet's insights on grief and leading the audience through a grief meditation exercise Recommendations for practicing breathwork at home Personal stories of loss and healing shared by the audience I invite you to join us on this journey. Whether you're seeking solace, understanding, or a new perspective on your own path of healing, this episode is for you. Don't forget to visit my website for my grief course.

Award-winning author Jessie Kanzer's UNLOCKING YOUR INNER ZELENSKY: Lessons We Can All Learn from an Unexpected Leader , draws on Volodymyr Zelensky's words and actions to show how to improve how we lead, and how we live.   Early praise and more info are below, and a list of possible interview/discussion questions is attached. Jessie Kanzer, a half-Ukrainian child of the USSR who had a small part in Zelensky's first major film, sees Zelensky as "a spiritual leader for our times."  As a native Russian speaker (like Zelensky himself), she picks up on the deep philosophical ramifications behind his words. Rich and yet easy-to-read, the life lessons in UNLOCKING YOUR INNER ZELENSKY are accessible and wise, and are more about starting where you are than about war. Each chapter begins with a key piece of wisdom drawn from Zelensky's words, along with advice for implementing it in our own life. Readers will see how Zelensky handled his much-criticized background as a comedian when he came into elective office.  Topics include: Speak Truth to Everything Unstick Yourself Decide with Courage Use Your Energy Wisely Tips include spreading graciousness, and acknowledging that it's not "all about you" to erase differences in backgrounds. Kanzer is a self-described "spiritual nerd" who followed Zelensky long before he stood before a blue and yellow backdrop on the national stage. She writes, "What is so incredible about our man Volodymyr is that his belief in himself stems not from seeing himself as special, but from seeing himself as ordinary and from knowing there is great power in this ordinariness."   About the Author JESSIE ASYA KANZER is the award-winning author of Don't Just Sit There, DO NOTHING and Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky. She was born in the Soviet Union and left at age eight. A former reporter and actress, she once found herself on the set of a Zelensky film and has been following his story ever since. Kanzer's writing has appeared in The New York Times, USA Today, the Washington Post, and many other publications. She's been interviewed on podcasts and TV programs across the country. She lives with her husband, two daughters, and two cats in Dobbs Ferry, NY. For more on the book click HERE --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steve-richards/support

Jessie Asya Kanzer is the award-winning author of Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky and Don't Just Sit There, Do Nothing. She was born in the Soviet Union and left at age eight. Jessie shares that ‘what is so incredible about our man Volodymyr is that his belief in himself stems not from seeing himself as special, but from seeing himself as ordinary and from knowing there is great power in this ordinariness. His belief, in other words, is in the abilities of each ordinary individual.' Jessie Kanzer is a former reporter and actress. She once found herself on the set of a Zelensky film and has followed his story ever since. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, USA Today, the Washington Post, and many other publications. She's been interviewed on podcasts and TV programs across the country.

Listen & Subscribe on: iTunes / Stitcher / Podbean / Overcast / Spotify Contact Info Website: www.JessieKanzer.com Book: Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky by Jessie Kanzer The Movie I was in a movie with Zelensky. He was one of three main characters. The movie was either called “Love in the Big City” or “No Love in the City,” depending on the translation. I had a small part in the movie. At one time, I struggled and eventually gave up on acting, moved on with life, had kids, and started writing. I've had moments where people I worked with in movies or TV shows became successful, but nobody became a president before. Zelensky sent me the link to the movie in 2019, even though this movie was made back in 2009. It was a unique experience to see someone I knew from the entertainment world become a president. My Zelensky The book I wrote about the Tao Te Ching that I talked to you about last year had a chapter about Zelensky in it. The chapter was called My Zelensky and it was the Taoist principle I was talking about. The chapter talked about the Taoist principle of using whatever life gives, regardless of what circumstances you're given. It says do not waste anything. And so I had Zelensky as an example then, and he had been born into the Soviet Union as I had. I left, but he had an immigration of sorts of his own where that tyrannical rule fell. The country was trying to break through and be free. He was a person who actually was able to really enact change. What is Different About Zelensky? Zelensky has changed the history of his nation, his people, and millions of people. I think he changed the trajectory for Europe, maybe for the world. And so I started following him out of that intuition that something is different about this person. When he emerged on the world stages as he is now, I started to see why I was pulled towards studying him. He always said I'm just an ordinary person. He said. I'm not a politician. When he was first elected, he said, I'm just a simple person who has come to break down the system. Suggested Resources Book: Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky: Lessons We Can All Learn From An Unexpected Leader by Jessie Kanzer Book: Don't Just Sit There, DO NOTHING: Healing, Chilling, and Living with the Tao Te Ching by Jessie Kanzer App: n/a Lessons To Learn The subtitle of the book is, ‘Lessons We Can All Learn From An Unexpected Leader'. One of the lessons is about his PR skills. It was his job to really get other parts of the world to understand the importance and value of Ukraine. This includes Europe, neighbors of Europe, and especially North America. Ukraine is the producer of a lot of food, and specifically a lot of bread. I learned significant PR skills from Zelensky including public relations skills and the ability to communicate. I'm still learning. Thus the reason for the title, Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky.

Jessie Asya Kanzer is the Author of the book, Don't Just Sit There, Do Nothing: Healing, Chilling, & Living with the Tao Te Ching. She is a descendant of Holocaust survivors. Her family sought asylum in the U.S. and eventually they made it to Brooklyn, NY. Her passion was acting, and she was in a movie with the now Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Jessie only spoke Russian when she came to America and pursued her American dream of acting but fell short. She then discovered Tao Te Ching (“the way”). Jessie learned about the power of stillness through Tao teachings, and it magnificently changed her life. She learned about the unique journey we are on to become authentic, powerful, and unique beings in the world. Lessons from the East have awakened a higher consciousness in Jessie that she's helped to awaken in others through her book and teachings.

Jessie Kanzer, author of 'Don't Just Sit There, DO NOTHING' and the newly released 'Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky', was born in the Soviet Union as Asya Bronfman, a descendant of Holocaust survivors. As an 8-year-old refugee in the USA who only spoke Russian, Jessie (or “Asya” then) yearned to fit in, changing her name and much about herself. Experiencing depression and an eating disorder, Jessie pursued Hollywood fame, men, and the American Dream but always fell short. We discuss her refugee experience and her latest book on Volodymyr Zelensky. Kanzer's writing has appeared in The New York Times, USA Today, and the Washington Post.   LINKS   Books on Amazon Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky: Lessons We Can All Learn from an Unexpected Leader Don't Just Sit There, DO NOTHING: Healing, Chilling, and Living with the Tao Te Ching   The Mojo Sessions website www.themojosessions.com   The Mojo Sessions on Patreon www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon.   The Mojo Sessions on Facebook www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions   Gary on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle   Gary on Twitter www.twitter.com/GaryBertwistle   The Mojo Sessions on Instagram www.instagram.com/themojosessions   If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Happy listening!   © 2023 Gary Bertwistle.  All Rights Reserved.

Are You Walking Wrong  – The MOVEMENT Movement with Steven Sashen Episode 180 with Katy Bowman Bestselling author, speaker, and a leader in the Movement movement, biomechanist Katy Bowman is changing the way we move and think about our need for movement. Bowman teaches movement globally and speaks about sedentarism and movement ecology to academic and scientific audiences. Her work has been featured in diverse media including The Today Show, CBC Radio One, The Seattle Times, and Good Housekeeping. One of Maria Shriver's “Architects of Change” and an America Walks “Woman of the Walking Movement,” Bowman has worked with companies like Patagonia, Nike and Google as well as a wide range of non-profits and other communities, sharing her “move more, move more body parts, move more for what you need” message. Her movement education company, Nutritious Movement, is based in Washington State, where she lives with her family. Her book, the bestselling Move Your DNA, highlighted the importance of distinguishing between movement and exercise and has revolutionized the way movement is now being discussed. This book along with her others—Movement Matters, Dynamic Aging, Grow Wild, Simple Steps to Foot Pain Relief, Diastasis Recti, Don't Just Sit There, Whole Body Barefoot, and Alignment Matters—has been critically acclaimed and translated worldwide. Listen to this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement with Katy Bowman about the importance of moving correctly. Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week's show: - How there is a difference between exercise, physical activity, and movement, and why those must be delineated well. - Why people should learn how to carry their weight correctly throughout their body. - How coming from an exercise-centric understanding of movement can be limiting. - Why moving with other people keeps you committed to your movement journey. - How most people are not being taught to see their own shape when they are moving and why that is problematic.

I am so pleased to welcome my old friend and repeat podcast guest Katy Bowman back to the show! Katy is the queen of nutritious movement (check out her website here to connect with her and get a more movement-oriented lifestyle). Katy joins us to talk about her new book, Rethink Your Position, which deals with the many options we have as we move our bodies throughout everyday life and why “Maximalism of the body helps you achieve minimalism in life.” Aside from workouts, we also have an obligation to optimize movement in everyday life and I love Katy's work on the goal of creating a dynamic workplace environment (you can enroll in her digital course, Don't Just Sit There, by clicking here). Katy shares some interesting specifics in this show, like head ramping (a drill you can do to get your head aligned with your shoulders), the benefits of spending more time sitting and interacting with the ground, and her minimalist sleeping experience (including how she has gradually moved away from using even a pillow!).    TIMESTAMPS: Katy Bowman is an expert on movement and posture. [00:47] If exercisers take a lot of downtime, sedentary time, it's important to do it right. [06:03] Specialization is necessary for competition, but it's not great for longevity. [10:35] Our generation is not moving their body the way they used to years ago. One study says we spend 86% of our time inside and 7% in a vehicle. [23:46] Our relationship with nature and our relationship with movement can't really be separated. [26:32] Supplementing in many areas is not really meeting our needs. [28:33] You might have a physical malady and go for treatment, but you also need to look at fixing how you got the injury.  [31:40] In her new book, Katy has short essays divided by body parts so if you are focusing on the knees, for example, you go right to that chapter. [35:03] Flexible seating in classrooms, workstations and even around the home is a low-cost way to keep in shape. [39:08] Being seated on the ground is using different muscles in the body for support from those used when sitting in a chair. We are not very fluent in our physicality. [42:23] So often when we are working on screens or reading, we position our head forward, in front of our ears, thus throwing our spines out. By learning the head ramps described by Katy, you will be in a better position. [51:09] It is hard to separate age from length of habit. Forget about aging. Look at length of habit. [57:13] Minimalist bedding experience includes no pillow.  How does that work? [58:32] How does Katy produce so much as a writer?

Joining me is the author of “Don't Just Sit There, Do Nothing”, Jessie Asya Kanzer. Jessie was born in the Soviet Union as Asya Bronfman, a descendant of Holocaust survivors living in a communal apartment with four households, one toilet, and a rickety old bathtub in the middle of the kitchen. Her family sought asylum in the U.S., and after awaiting their fate in Austria and Italy, they finally made it to Brooklyn in 1989. As an 8-year-old refugee who only spoke Russian, Jessie (or “Asya” then) yearned to fit in. She changed her name and much about herself. Later though, she experienced depression, an eating disorder, and all sorts of existential problems. She pursued Hollywood fame, men, and the American Dream, but always fell short. Until she stopped. With the help of the Tao Te Ching she rediscovered herself and her innate power, and she learned to chill. Her book, Don't Just Sit There, DO NOTHING, will help others do the same. Jessie lives with her husband and daughters in Dobbs Ferry, NY. She considers herself an expert in Doing Nothing.PLEASE HELP THE CHANNEL GROW • SUBSCRIBE, like, comment, and click the Notification Bell so you don't miss a show! https://www.youtube.com/mysticloungeAlien Coffee Bean 20% discount code: MYSTERY20https://aliencoffeebean.comLINK TREE: https://linktr.ee/CoffeeandUFOsHALF LIGHT documentary: https://youtu.be/ib7r2M_ntBkPlease consider supporting the channel by becoming a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/mysticloungeHumanitarian Aid for Ukraine:https://www.npr.org/2022/02/25/1082992947/ukraine-support-helpThank you.Check out other fantastic Un-X shows at https://www.unxnetwork.com/shows#spirituality #metaphysical #emotionalhealing

Today on Sense of Soul we have, Jessie Asya Kanzer, she is a speaker, writer, former reporter and actress. Jessie was born in the Soviet Union and at the age of eight, she emigrated with her family to NY where she lives today with her two daughters and husband.  Jessie joined us to tell us all about her new book “Don't Just Sit There, DO NOTHING, Healing, Chilling and Living with the Tao Te Ching.” For years, Jessie felt like a failure, unable to hustle hard enough to “make it,” either as an actress or in the rat race. Her childhood as a Russian immigrant in post-Cold War America heightened her insecurity and threatened her identity, desperate as she was to fit into a culture that was alien at best and hostile at worst. This loss and eventual reclamation of her sense of self sent her on a spiritual journey during which she discovered the Tao Te Ching, which changed everything for her.  Jessie continues to write and is currently working on her next book on Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, who she had the honor of being in a film with years ago.  Follow her on Instagram at @jessiekanzer https://jessiekanzer.com https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv6tqyjT0w8 Visit Sense of Soul at www.mysenseofsoul.com Do you want Ad Free episodes?

HOW TO DO NOTHING with JESSIE KANZER     “The Tao is simple… It is our human nature, I think, to complicate things where they need not be complicated.” – Jessie Kanzer       Episode Summary:   Does life seem more hectic than it was even before the pandemic?   Today we talk with Jessie Asya Kanzer, whose story begins as an child refugee from the Soviet Union seeking asylum in the US with her family. A descendant of Holocaust survivors living in a communal apartment with four households, one toilet, and a rickety old bathtub in the middle of the kitchen -- her family finally made it to Brooklyn in 1989.    As an 8-year-old refugee who only spoke Russian, Jessie (or “Asya” then) yearned to fit in. She changed her name and much about herself. She experienced depression, bulimia, anxiety and lost herself pursuing the American Dream.   Until she stopped.    In Tao Te Ching she rediscovered herself, found her innate power, and she learned to chill.

About Jessie Kanzer: Jessie Asya Kanzer is the author of Don't Just Sit There, DO NOTHING: Healing, Chilling, and Living with the Tao Te Ching — a book that combines ancient philosophy to help us live in the midst of current chaos. Born as Asya Bronfman in the Soviet Union, Jessie emigrated to the U.S. at age eight after surviving a holocaust. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, New York Daily News, Wall Street Journal, The Independent, Los Angeles Times, Huffington Post, Ravishly, and Romper.She lives in Dobbs Ferry, New York, with her two daughters and husband. She considers herself an expert in Doing Nothing. In this episode, Adam and Jessie discuss:Expressing your emotionsDon't just sit there, do nothingReinventing your identityFly your freak flagPeace begins with you. Key Takeaways:Journaling, or doing whatever comes naturally to you in terms of expressing your emotions, is a crucial part of getting through your difficulties.Stillness, or just a moment of getting quiet while deep breathing and connecting to the present moment is the key to healing and transformation.There's nothing wrong with creating a new identity or reinventing yourself. Everyone has their own issues and labels that they wish to unlearn from the world, and if changing their identity or unlearning all they believe they know is how they deal, then let them.Allow yourself to not be ashamed of your own wicked personality and stop attempting to conceal some aspects of yourself or your past. People will undoubtedly judge you, but keep in mind that we aren't designed to fit into some preconceived idea of normalcy.If you want peace in the world, start with yourself. Be the change you want to see in the world. Change is inevitable, but taking steps in improving yourself to rise to the occasion and grow as a person will help to spread peace. "Life is always a moving journey, you're not actually done. So just have a good time along the way. Don't stress too much, just chill out more. Don't just sit there, do nothing more." - Jessie Kanzer Connect with Jessie KanzerWebsite: https://jessiekanzer.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jessiekanzer/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JessieAsya/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daily_taoTwitter: https://twitter.com/jessiekanzerBook: https://jessiekanzer.com/#pre-order Connect With Adam Weber:Website: https://meditationnotmedicine.com/about/Email: adam@meditationnotmedicine.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/easytomeditate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meditationnotmedicine/  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPnbji9rDrCfxhY0W8sHL9ABook: Meditation Not Medicine Show notes by Podcastologist: Angelica Rayco.Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Find full show notes and links at: https://camphacker.tv/podcast/2022/05/sending-campers-home-intentionIt may not happen often, but when you, unfortunately, have to send a camper home, you need to get it right.One of the unfortunate realities of being a camp professional is that it's likely that eventually, a camper is going to have to go home early.Whether it's because of a medical reason, or a behavioural one, a camper going home is never easy. It can send shockwaves not only to them and their parents/caregivers but to your entire camp community.That's why it's important that you don't leave the “going home” process to chance and instincts.It's a good thing that Kate Taylor has dropped in to share her stories and best practices with Travis, Joe and Chris!

Jessie Asya Kanzer was born in the Soviet Union. At the age of eight, she emigrated with her family to Brooklyn, New York. She is a writer, former reporter and actress. Her work has appeared in the Washington Post, New York Daily News, Wall Street Journal, The Independent, the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and more. After extensive study of the Tao Te Ching, Jessie experienced a shift in mindset that allowed her to fully trust her inner voice and to create a satisfying life. She also attributes Taoist philosophy to helping her stay centered as a parent, navigate challenges, and hold space for others.

Effect on Emotions Mindfulness taught me that there's more than one of me. There's the one that feels the emotions that react and the observer part of myself. Because I'm able to observe myself and watch myself, I've become much less reactive. That doesn't mean I judge my emotion, or I hate my emotion or anything like that. But I'm able to come back to the center much quicker because I see it. I feel it. I work through it if I need to work through it, but I don't react to it anymore. I mean, I should say most of the time. Thoughts on Breathing I love breathwork. I don't do it daily; sometimes I do breathwork instead of meditation. I am amazed at how breathing in certain ways can help you enter almost a different dimension. That is why for me, breathing really gets me out of my monkey mind. Suggested Resources Book:Don't Just Sit There, DO NOTHING: Healing, Chilling, and Living with the Tao Te Ching Book: The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment App: Calm Bullying Story I think if I'd had mindfulness training when I was a child when I was bullied, it would have made a huge difference for me. I was not very welcomed when I came to America as a kid, because I came here in 1989 and that was right on the heels of the Cold War. By the way, I'm not even Russian. I'm a Jew from Latvia. The Soviet Union divided people very weirdly, like on their passports. On my passport, it just used to say, Jew. That sounds crazy to people when I say that, but that's what it said. And then my family; half of them from Latvia, half from Ukraine. But our language was Russian because often these geopolitical shifts are affected, individual people. And I was one of those people.  Therefore, I came from this war-torn family that suffered a lot under Stalin under the Nazis, and finally made it to America, the land of the free, but unfortunately, mindfulness was not taught, at least not the way it is now. A lot of kids were pretty mean when they heard my Russian accent. First, the Russian language, because they had watched movies like for instance, Rocky Five, these movies where the Russians were always the evil people. So there was a lot of making fun of, and you know, I remember I'd be stopped, in the middle of the stairway,  they would laugh and say, Where Are you Russian, Russian. As a result, all of these things I internalized because I was a very sensitive child. Bullying did not exist in the Soviet Union. The socialistic ideas that formed this country, a lot of them did not work clearly. But this kind of unity, versus individualism in the classroom, made everyone be really nice to each other.

Throughout the month of March, we're celebrating the International Day of Happiness and a whole month of Happy Acts. And, as part of this year's celebration, we're looking at the theme of unity. This week, host Paula Felps is joined by Jessie Kanzer, author of Don't Just Sit There, Do Nothing: Healing, Chilling & Living with the Tao Te Ching. Jessie talks about social media and how we can use it to become less divided. In this episode, you'll learn: Why social media is so addictive. How to become more mindful about what you're posting — and what you're consuming. Tips for creating healthier relationships on social media.

Can wisdom from the past still ring true today? Do you sometimes need help returning to your center when life gets busy? Do you know how to properly “do nothing”? MEET JESSIE KANZERAs an 8-year-old refugee who only spoke Russian, Jessie (or “Asya” then) yearned to fit in. Having arrived in America, she changed her name and much about herself. Later though, she experienced depression, an eating disorder, and all sorts of existential problems. She pursued Hollywood fame, men, and the American Dream, but always fell short - until she stopped.  With the help of the Tao Te Ching she rediscovered herself and her innate power, and she learned to chill. Her book, https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Just-Sit-There-NOTHING/dp/1642970352/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= (Don't Just Sit There, DO NOTHING), will help others do the same.  Visit https://jessiekanzer.com/ (Jessie Kanzer's website) and connect with her on https://web.facebook.com/JessieAsya/?_rdc=1&_rdr (Facebook), https://www.instagram.com/jessiekanzer/?hl=en (Instagram), and https://twitter.com/JessieKanzer (Twitter). FREEBIE: https://jessiekanzer.com/free-for-you (Read the first two chapters) of Jessie's book for free! IN THIS PODCAST:About the Tao Te Ching How to be an expert in doing nothing Let go of the “all or nothing” mentality About the Tao Te ChingThe Tao was written in the 6th century BC. It is amazing to me how human nature has changed very little. Our surroundings may have changed but our needs [are very much the same]. (Jessie Kanzer) Human beings at their core have been much the same throughout human history. People throughout centuries have struggled with: Comparing themselves to others Searching for external validation Following outside messaging for fear of stepping into who they are And so the Tao always brings us back to our center … brings us back to quietude, and encourages us to connect with our inner selves. (Jessie Kanzer) How to be an expert in doing nothingHave an activity that you do that centers on stillness: this can be meditation, yoga, meditative running, walking, breathwork, spending time in nature, and so forth. Seek stillness physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. Focus on building the connection to your inner voice. Schedule time into your calendar: write “DO NOTHING” for 1, 2, 5, or 10 minutes in your daily activities. Enter your flow state: try activities once a day or week that help you to enter your flow state where you forget about time passing, and focus wholly on one thing. Let go of the “all or nothing” mentalitySometimes you need to be honest and real with yourself and push yourself to do the things that you have been avoiding getting to. However, when it comes to practicing stillness, you cannot beat yourself up about struggling because the struggle is a part of the process. Each time it does not go well, try again. I always tell people, and I say this in the book, do what you can. Do what you can for yourself … you start with little moments of stillness. (Jessie Kanzer) Consistent small actions that grow over time are far more sustainable than forcing yourself to try something completely new and then beating yourself up if you fail.
