(Group Learning Program) - Chapter 8 - Transforming the Three Poisons: Craving, Anger, and Ignorance Gotama Buddha's Teachings to eliminate craving, anger, and ignorance are known, for good reason, as The Three Poisons, The Three Unwholesome Roots, and The Three Fires. Also known as (greed, hatred, and delusion) or (desire, ill will, and confusion). These are The Three Poisons that exist and are present in the mind as part of rebirth into the human realm. It is our goal, through these Teachings, to eliminate these three poisons through practice of non-craving or generosity, non-anger or loving-kindness, and non-ignorance or wisdom. To attain Enlightenment, one would need to completely eliminate The Three Poisons. In this Podcast, David will help you understand The Three Poisons, how they cause you problems in life, and how to eliminate them from the mind. ——- Daily Wisdom - Walking The Path with The Buddha Dedicated to the education of Gotama Buddha's teachings to attain Enlightenment. https://www.BuddhaDailyWisdom.com (See our website for online learning, courses, and retreats.)

This is a special channeled guidance message for someone who needs to hear this. It's ok to be afraid, it's ok to feel, it's ok for your body to protect you from feelings, but it is time to speak your heart's truth, your heart's voice, the love you hold for yourself, the world and your life. Your body is always protecting you, that's why it's so important to learn about your nervous system's different states: sympathetic (mobilized, fight - flight, angry, anxious, hyperarousal) dorsal vagal (collapsed, immobilized, eject, freeze, flop and drop, hypoarousal), ventral vagal (connect, safe and social). I share with you some Reiki at the end of the short and lots of love, light, support. Learning about your safety behaviors with the nervous system in the forefront is helpful, while using breath (the life you are through breath) to navigate emotions in the moment and more. The IHP community is here for you. Love, Maria --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/maria-florio/support

Within the vast realm of health, let alone the vast realm of fitness, there are SO many different modalities one can employ to ensure they are staying healthy, fit & mobile as they age. A common misnomer that I see society moving out of in the present day in a big way is the misnomer that the body “breaks down” as we age. In my experience, I have found that the famous saying “move it or lose it” is one of the best philosophies to embody if we wish to be active & mobile throughout the course of our lives & allow our lives to be ones which are thriving in nature, rather than ones in which we merely survive. This being said, with more information than ever currently available to us, what are some of the best ways to stay active, mobile & in that state of thriving? In my personal fitness & health journey, one of my best kept secrets is that of the company Stick Mobility, which focuses on the trifecta of strength, mobility & coordination all in one system & todays guest on the show is not only a stick mobility coach, a CHEK trained practitioner & a chiropractic assistant, but he is also someone who has gone through his fair share of challenges within these realms in order to come out the other side with invaluable information for each person listening on how easy it can be to supercharge your health, fitness & mobility in order to live the version of your life that is the greatest & grandest in nature. This week, on Episode 112 of The Highly Optimized Podcast, we talk with personal trainer, stick mobility coach, CHEK Practitioner, and Chiropractic Therapy Assistant Cameron Angus about:  (9:49) The Way of the Superior Man & not fitting into the corporate lifestyle.(20:05) Stick Mobility.(28:11) Learning new skills to fuel your passions.(37:52) Gym Mentality.(57:02) Knowing your “Why”.(1:07:22) Outro & One last question!Connect with Cameron on IG: @camangus68Thank you to our podcast sponsors!Freedom Builderz - https://www.freedombuilderz.com/Building profitable online programs FOR coaches using Kajabi so they can smoothly hit 10k months!https://www.highlyoptimized.me This episode was produced by Mazel Tov Media in Quincy, Massachusetts.https://www.mazeltm.com/highlyoptimized

Anxiety, fear, stress (and other negative emotions) are an unavoidable part of the entrepreneurial journey. It's how we handle them that matters. Our returning guest, Annie Hyman-Pratt, is an entrepreneur and author with a passion for psychology. During this episode, she explains why we need to embrace adversity to grow as a leader, why we should never make decisions when we are in an emotionally triggered state, and the power that lies in choosing compassion. About Annie Hyman-Pratt:After 10x'ing her family business in seven years, Annie is now the CEO of Leading Edge Teams, a business consulting firm that guides companies through every challenge imaginable. Annie believes that the success and sustainability of a business can largely be attributed to the people involved and she has recently released a book on this subject titled The People Part.Episode highlights: Entrepreneurship can be a lonely journey. Be sure to surround yourself with people who can support you during the tough times, and share the joys with you during the good times. (05:39) Learning how to control your emotions is a powerful skill for an entrepreneur because challenging, stressful situations are an inevitable part of the journey. Acknowledging your feelings and speaking about them are two of the most effective ways to manage them. (20:40) Welcome challenging situations into your life. Growth occurs through adversity. (25:45) Entrepreneurs know how to get results, but being too fixated on getting quick results will more often than not leave you feeling disappointed. Rather than focusing on the end result, enjoy the journey. (27:00) Fight, flight, freeze, please; these automatic responses don't work in business. Business problems can only be solved when we are thinking clearly and not being driven by our emotions. Don't make decisions when you are feeling triggered. Take a step back, get some perspective, and then act. (30:33) To release anxiety, embrace compassion. (40:00) Annie's best advice for entrepreneurs:“Our ability to grow is based on what challenges we can endure so that we can learn. If we can't endure it, we don't have any chance to learn from it.” (25:45) Our comfort zones are dangerous places because they hinder our ability to progress. Learn to appreciate the challenges that you encounter along your entrepreneurial journey. Connect with Annie: LinkedIn Twitter Website Resources Mentioned:The People Part by Annie Hyman-PrattFollow Beyond 8 Figures: LinkedIn Twitter Website

In This Episode: Throwback Wednesday Special, a brilliant conversation from last November 2021 I had with an interfaith minister where we talked about the fact that we are all human beings and no matter what religion we are no matter what position in life we are, color, race, creed that we all are part of this planet as a whole. With everything going on with Roe versus wade and some of the other Supreme Court decisions that may or may not be coming down the line I just wanted to remind everybody to take time to listen, to understand that we are all in this together, and that we need to not only love each other but to respect each other as individuals. I do not agree with the Supreme Court decisions made lately as I believe that they are more religious and right wing based than set in a legal precedent grounded in our personal freedom and privacies which is unfortunate. But we have an opportunity to take a positive out of this to fight for what is right and to work together as the human race and as Americans to be humane, compassionate, understanding and tolerant to make the changes needed. So please enjoy this Wednesday throwback episode as I feel that we could all benefit from the words of wisdom therein. In this episode we discuss and ask the question: what is interfaith ministry? Can interfaith ministries bring us together in a unique way to allow for us all to connect ourselves through the universe? Is it true that we are all connected to one another? Stay tuned because we're going to talk to an interfaith minister and discuss different world religions and what they each teach us about living our life to the fullest; the similarities and differences, as well as contemplate the key takeaways! My guest In This Episode Jerry Zehr he is an ordained minister and has been a leader in Interfaith ministries for over 35 years. He has helped create four interfaith organizations, including the Carmel Interfaith Alliance and the Indiana Multifaith Network. Jerry leads workshops, retreats, and speaks at events on different aspects of Walking the Enlightened Path, Developing Inner Peace, Learning to Forgive, and Building Understandings of Different Faith Traditions.

In this episode of the podcast, Sam Harris shares an audio essay exploring how psychedelics are, for many, the only way to glimpse "the vast firmament beyond the prison walls” of the “conceptual mind”—and often serve as the gateway to meditation. He also discusses how the very profundity of the psychedelic experience can distract us from the true purpose of mindfulness—the recognition that consciousness is always already free, in every moment.

At the recent Training Industry Conference & Expo (TICE) in Raleigh, N.C., more than 400 learning leaders reunited to talk about the state of the training industry and discuss best practices for L&D.  d'Vinci President Mason Scuderi was at the conference and shares his quick takeaways. Show Notes:Mason Scuderi provides insights from the conference keynotes and sessions including these key points.Out of 350 companies surveyed by Training Industry, a majority reported a plan to increase training budgets. Most companies shared that the biggest training priorities are around compliance, learning experience, DE&I, leadership effectiveness, and hybrid learning.While the need for C-Suite buy-in still remains, companies surveyed reported a shift in thinking as training has more of a seat at the table. Training and development can play a huge role in employee engagement, wellness, and retention, which in turn, helps offset the great need for talent recruitment. Coming up! We interviewed TICE attendees at the conference about the latest trends and challenges they're facing.

Fraud through the vendor file. Most business professionals never think the weak master vendor file practices can facilitate fraud and thus don't prevent it. Whether you call it the vendor file, the supplier file, the master vendor file or the vendor master file, the outcome is the same. #Fraud facilitated by poor practices related to the #mastervendorfile happens more frequently than you might imagine. These weak practices sometimes also enable duplicate #payments. The issue of Fraud in the Vendor File and How to Prevent It is one that is frequently overlooked and thus Vendor file fraud is allowed to flourish. Frauds in the Vendor File happen everywhere if you don't know how to Prevent Them. Learning how to detect vendor fraud is not difficult, especially with common vendor fraud schemes that are not overly sophisticated. Usually, fraud facilitated by weak master vendor file practices is a type of occupational fraud. Link to Fraud Protection Roundtable Discussion https://youtu.be/CqEPqoO-n_I Link to Password Stupidity https://youtu.be/ChiqWwJ-DIo Master vendor file and fraud and be prevented by using master vendor file best practices and regularly reviewing changes made to the vendor file. The master vendor file function is often not given the attention it deserves, making the vendor master file prone to the mal  intentions of fraudsters. The supplier file is used for making payments. Ideally, the master vendor file and separation of duties are strong. Changes to the master vendor file should be verified to prevent accounts payable fraud. The techniques used to prevent vendor file fraud will also put a damper on duplicate payments. Host: Mary Schaeffer (www.ap-now.com)

"It seems irresponsible to me to downplay the possible consequences of climate change. It seems irresponsible to assume that we're going to fix it. And so I think it's absolutely a responsibility for the people who are talking about it and thinking about it, to look at the worst-case scenario and to look at the current trajectories, absent technologies for carbon scrubbers, to look at where we're actually headed, the worst-case scenarios, and address that and bring that to each other and to our children and to our students. When you really look at the situation, it's scary and terrifying, and it upends everything that we've been told to make sense of life... The second part of what I think being a mentor or being a parent or being an adult or a teacher with regard to climate change means helping younger people sit with the terror, sit with the grief, the sense of unknown, and not push it away and not repress it and not try to find a way to just move past it without dealing with it, but to really inhabit that space of unknowing and fear and grief because that's the reality that we live in.”Roy Scranton, is the award-winning author of five books, including Learning to Die in the Anthropocene: Reflections on the End of a Civilization, Total Mobilization: World War II and American Literature, and We're Doomed.

This makes total sense from a practical standpoint; it'll be impossible to concentrate on an email we must send if we think of the temperature, the light, the clothes touching our body, or counting every time we blink.Although our mind's auto-mode was designed to make our lives easier, an imbalance in this default setting can be detrimental to our mental health, causing anxiety or depression. Our guest, Dr. Paul Jenkins, developed a model designed to see, understand, and modify our automatic responses to reality, liberating ourselves from anxiety and depression and creating genuine positivity in our lives.Dr. Paul Jenkins is a Positivity Psychologist, Author, Speaker, and Positive Parenting Crusader. Dr. Paul is also the host of the successful podcast Live on Purpose Radio and the Live on Purpose TV YouTube channel, with over 360,000 subscribers.In this episode, Dr. Paul teaches us how paying attention to some of the obvious things our mind does by default can help us change our reality and reach a positive state of mind. We better understand the root cause of anxiety and depression and learn how to create hope and gratitude -- their antidotes. We also discuss the benefits of practicing metacognition, mental hacks for anxiety and depression, and more.Tune in to Episode 334 and learn how taking a moment to think about your thoughts can help you make your own life easier.Some Questions I Ask: What exactly is positivity from a psychological perspective?

Yesterday we talked about recognizing “regular” anxiety in your life. This is anxiety in many forms, triggered by external influences, that all humans experience from time to time. Learning to identify regular anxiety when you feel it can help you in your recovery journey.But for so many members of our community, this is is a difficult task simply because regular anxiety almost automatically spins out of control, goes off the rails, and becomes the disordered anxious response that is the hallmark of issues like panic disorder, OCD, or agoraphobia.What is the difference? What is disordered anxiety? Well for our purposes we will define disordered anxiety as anxiety that originates internally with bodily sensations or thoughts that you have learned to interpret as threats over time. This is important. Disordered anxiety is based on interpreting your own body and mind as sources of danger or threat. Why is this so important?Because when humans experience life stress, we respond physically and mentally to that stress. Sometimes that response is what we might call regular anxiety. Other responses might be anger, despair, disappointment, or fear. In all of those cases, those responses will likely trigger physical responses in our bodies. This is normal and to be expected. Some extra thinking is also bound to happen when under stress, so that is also normal and to be expected.But when we’ve become conditioned to be on alert for threats originating in our bodies and minds, sensations and thoughts - even those that are normal and expected - can quickly trigger an exaggerated threat response. We get “regular” anxious because of life, then we roll into disordered anxiety territory when that regular anxiety itself becomes a threat that we’ve decided we must respond to .When this happens, it’s common to misinterpret things by concluding that your nasty co-worker makes you panic. In reality, your nasty co-worker triggers a normal anxiety or anger response in you, which in turn gets interpreted as a threat worthy of panic. I know it might seem like this doesn’t matter, but it does. When we incorrectly declare that the entire world is direct panic trigger, we more readily engage in avoidance and retreat rituals. We see our ourselves as unable to handle any stimulation, sensation, or emotion, and will declare even normal, healthy human reactions to life as strictly off-limits.This is why understanding this process, and working on recognizing regular anxiety, can be a huge help. We can reframe our situation within this more accurate context, which gives us some room to work in. If you can see your normal responses and understand how they morph into disordered responses, you can work on putting some space between those two things rather than trying to avoid the universe at large because you think it is full of “triggers”.I’m not implying that this knowledge or understanding will wipe away your anxiety disorder, but it always helps to have a grasp on the principles and mechanics of the process rather than simply being reactive and hoping for specific instructions on how to overcome every specific sensation, thought, fear, and situation.I just finished reading “Digital Minimalism” by Cal Newport. I’ve been working for quite a while on being more intentional with my use of social media and electronic devices in general so this book was right up my alley. I found it both theoretically and practically interesting.Every Tuesday I’ll let you know what I’m currently reading. I read quite a bit on psychology and philosophy, but really you never know what I’ll have in my Kindle or Audible libraries! If you’re on Goodreads and into books, you can follow/friend me over there. Here’s a link to my “currently reading” shelf. I’d love to see what you’re reading and what you recommend.

Sometimes It's Hard Being Me Even if you're having times when you feel “meh,” or you're having fears, anxiety, imposter syndrome, or you're not feeling confident, you can still show up and do what's in front of you. It's ok to struggle and have hard times, but what you tell yourself about these times is crucial. I share about some current struggles, and I talk about specific tools you can use when you're struggling. It's not about waiting until you feel motivated or confident; it's about showing up when things are hard.  PODCAST HOST Patricia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Coach.  She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive to help other HSPs know that they aren't alone, and that being an HSP has amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for HSPs that focus on understanding what it means to be an HSP, self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors us  LINKS HSP Online Course--https://unapologeticallysensitive.com/hsp-online-groups/ Online HSP Course Materials (no group included) https://patriciayounglcsw.com/product-category/hsp-classes/  Receive the top 10 most downloaded episodes of the podcast-- https://www.subscribepage.com/e6z6e6  Sign up for the Newsletter-- https://www.subscribepage.com/y0l7d4  To write a review in itunes:  click on this link https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-sensitive/id1440433481?mt=2  select “listen on Apple Podcasts” chose “open in itunes” choose “ratings and reviews” click to rate the number of starts click “write a review” Website--www.unapologeticallysensitive.com Facebook-- https://www.facebook.com/Unapologetically-Sensitive-2296688923985657/ Closed/Private Facebook group Unapologetically Sensitive-- https://www.facebook.com/groups/2099705880047619/ Instagram-- https://www.instagram.com/unapologeticallysensitive/ Youtube-- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOE6fodj7RBdO3Iw0NrAllg/videos?view_as=subscriber Tik Tok-- https://www.tiktok.com/@hsppodcast e-mail-- unapologeticallysensitive@gmail.com Show hashtag--#unapologeticallysensitive  Music-- Gravel Dance by Andy Robinson www.andyrobinson.com

Kelda started her sporting career playing netball at a national level as a teenager. Sport very quickly became the thing that defined who she was and the person she wanted to be. Her real passion lay with horses and her ultimate goal was to ride for her country and represent Great Britain at the Olympics.  Unfortunately, after a serious leg injury in 2002, Kelda's hopes of competing at an international level seemed to have disappeared. The leg injury had a huge impact on her life, leaving her no longer able to run or play many of the sports that meant so much to her. This had a huge impact on her confidence and self-belief, and she spent nearly 10years fighting to accept who she was.  In 2002 she decided to climb Kilimanjaro, and this proved to be the start of a new direction in life. She returned and began retraining as an outdoor instructor. As a result of the dramatic effect the outdoors had on her own mental and physical recovery, Kelda decided she wanted to help others facing similar challenges to herself, and this led her to set up the charity Climbing Out.   Kelda went on to represent Great Britain in Paracanoe and competed at the 2015 World Cup and the 2016 World Championships. The ultimate goal was the Rio Paralympics.   Unfortunately she just missed out on selection for Rio, but she went on to join an Adaptive Team attempting to climb Aconcagua, the highest mountain in South America at 7,000m.    On the 19th January 2017 she became the first recorded adaptive female to summit the mountain.   In summiting, Kelda found many of the answers she'd been searching for since her injury and this inspired her to attempt a solo row of the Atlantic. After 76 days unsupported at sea, Kelda became the first adaptive person to ever solo row any ocean.   But the challenges didn't stop there. 12 months ago Kelda was diagnosed with breast cancer. She decided to set herself the goal of completing a triathlon as motivation to push through her recovery.    She completed her first triathlon just 4 months post mastectomy and went on to complete 2 further triathlons last year, including the Snowman Triathlon, known for being the toughest triathlon in the country. She now has her sights set on completing a half ironman in 2022.   New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday at 7am UK time - Subscribe so you don't miss out.    To help increase the amount of female role models in the media.

Richard Blank is the founder, CEO, and head bilingual trainer at Costa Rica's Call Center, a business process outsourcing (BPO) telemarketing company. They offer outbound and inbound telemarketing solutions of the highest quality. Tom Fox welcomes him to this week's show to talk about Costa Rica's Call Center, how they help their clients, why he opened a call center in Costa Rica, and how to lead a successful call center in a foreign country.  The Core of Costa Rica's Call Center Tom asks Richard why he decided to open a call center in Costa Rica and how the term “Learning through the Proletariat” influenced his business model. Richard explains that as a CEO who works among people, you learn the importance of training and keeping your employees and customers. “One thing that I heard most sitting amongst people that are in a call center industry is that they feel expendable,” he tells Tom. To counteract this, he invests in his employees' careers by promoting them and teaching them English so that they have pride and security in their job. Additionally, he has several retro arcade game machines that allow the employees to meet colleagues from other departments, and to relax, “or even hang out with el jefe”. He explains that this creates a safe, enjoyable workplace culture and an atmosphere of trust and institutional fairness. BPO Telemarketing Outsource Company Tom asks Richard to define a BPO telemarketing outsourcing company. BPO stands for business process outsourcing, and it is done in several parts of the world, including the Philippines where it is known as offshore. However, since Costa Rica is so close to the United States, it is considered a near-shore outsourcing company. “[That] could be either a blended or mixed center where they work on multiple accounts; usually it's for overflowing and answering service,” he explains. Every one of Costa Rica's Call Center's agents is assigned to and works specifically for a client. He explains why having a brick-and-mortar call center is more beneficial for them versus being completely remote: problems like Internet redundancy and electricity failure plague remote workers, while at the in-person center, there are multiple tools and resources to hedge technical difficulties. Nearshoring and Outsourcing Tom asks why Richard chose Costa Rica for a BPO center and what's the difference in having a company in essentially the same time zone as the US. Richard describes Costa Rica's ideal location, and that it's a democratic society with no standing army. In addition, the country's literacy rate is 95%, and it has the best infrastructure in Central America. They also have highly skilled and experienced workers, some of whom have lived in the US and have dual citizenship. Furthermore, clients like the fact that agents are attuned to the North American market. It is also a safe place to visit for tourism.

Dorie Clark is a consultant and keynote speaker who teaches executive education at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business and Columbia University's Graduate School of Business. She has been named one of the top fifty business thinkers in the world by Thinkers50 and the #1 Communication Coach in the world by the Marshall Goldsmith Leading Global Coaches Awards. Clark is a frequent contributor to Harvard Business Review and is the author of Entrepreneurial You, Reinventing You, and Stand Out. Her books have been translated into eleven languages.  Highlights: “Really what I focus my work on is helping people and helping companies, figure out in the very crowded marketplace, how they can get their best ideas heard.” [7:20] Dorie Clark introduces the inspiration behind her work and her book, The Long Game. “During COVID, it's almost like forget the long term game, everybody's all of a sudden in reactionary mode. How do we pivot!?” [10:05] Marcel comments on the broad shift in short term versus long term thinking due to COVID-19 and changes necessary from the pandemic shutdown. “We're forced into doing long term thinking, if there are specific goals we want to attain.” [14:10] Why is long term thinking so hard? Dorie shares a quote she included in her book as she explains the motivation and pain points surrounding long term thinking.  “Why is it that we can't stop this relentless, short term, crazy busy, ‘FOMO'. ‘I can't measure myself up to the standards of these celebrities' that causes a lot of anxiety for me, and unrealistic expectations. We just get busier, and busier, and busier. So how do we stop this pursuit?” [16:00] Marcel questions why we as a culture feel the need to be unrealistically busy. “I threw myself into work, as a way of just distracting myself. The way that I think about it is like how they put patients into a medically induced coma so that their body can heal, because if they were awake they just couldn't take it. So work can be like your medically induced coma.” [21:12] Dorie shares a personal experience in her reasoning for throwing herself into work and staying busy. Making the comparison to overworking as a “medically induced coma”. “All the forces are going to be mitigating against it. Because it's always more convenient for other people if you say yes to them. So nobody is going to help you with this.” [23:48] It's easy and sometimes the right thing to say yes often when you're early on in your career. But Dorie stresses that at a pivotal point in your business you have to start farming the things that are already working and no longer hoping that every small opportunity might turn into something.  “So one of the ways that we can really focus on the long term, is having a clear, defining...North Star.” [26:51] Marcel asks Dorie to elaborate on what it means to find your North Star, the idea of reinventing yourself or instead remaining stagnant. “The strength that we have as professionals, and the thing that actually makes us valuable, is understanding that different things, different skills, are called for at different times. And you have to be smart enough to understand when and how to apply those skills. ”[31:20] Dorie explains the 4 career waves in her book: Learning, Creating, Connecting and Reaping.

Rachel provided the message this Sunday drawn from the story of Elijah in 2 Kings 2:1-2, 6-14. It is a strange irony that Elijah, who lived in the shadow of the forces of death for the entirety of his ministry, narrowly avoiding dying of starvation, thirst, violence, depression, should meet the end of his own earthly life, in the way that he did. We can't learn from him how to suffer patiently, or how to stubbornly stare down death in the face and tell it that it does not have the last word. Yet we can learn from him how to let go, how to trust that our gifts will multiply after we are gone. How to trust that others will keep watering the seeds that we have planted. We can learn from him how to receive the gift of the presence of others even when our own feelings are too much to bear. We can learn from him how to let go of our idol of control. Rachel closed out the message with the congregation listening to the Mountain Goats singing their song, Elijah.
