The living God“I am your only God, the living God. Wasn't I the one who broke strongholds over you and raised you up out of bondage?

A prayer for YOU and the Ephesians:“I ask—ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory—to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers, oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him—endless energy, boundless strength!”Ephesians 1:18-19 (MSG)Here is my declaration over you:The God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory—makes you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes are focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, you grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers, oh, the utter extravagance of his work in you who trust him—endless energy, boundless strength.Here is a declaration that you can declare over yourself as often as you like:God of my Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory—makes me intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, my eyes are focused and clear, so that I can see exactly what it is he is calling me to do, I grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for me his follower, his work in me is utterly extravagant because I trust him—endless energy, boundless strength.Daily Email Sign UP https://kingdomhappyhour.com

Meditating on the character of God usually falls into particular grooves. We think about his love, how he shelters us under the shadow of his wings, how he walks up and down the vine—pruning branches here, grafting branches in there, providing support in one area, and providing cover to protect against frost. We think about his grace, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor so that you, by his poverty, might become rich. We think about his mercy, how our debt piled high. Our balance sheet was covered in red. And yet he zeroes it out, hands it back to us and says, “Now you go practice this same forgiveness.” We think about his goodness. And doing that, generally leads to pondering our own badness. That God would save a wretch like me? We ponder about his glory. What does the Father look like? My mind goes to a pure unadulterated light. A light that emanates so purely from his visage, that seeing through it, to the true form from which the light transmits is impossible. We think about his peace, and we imagine tranquil scenes of still waters, slight breezes, and a warm sun. We find ourselves at ease despite living in a world that's falling down around us. He prepares a table for us in the presence of our enemies. His great patience comes to mind. How can he see the evil in this world and not stamp it out right now? Because The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 

Come to me and drink!“On the most important day of the feast, the last day, Jesus stood and shouted out to the crowds—“All you thirsty ones, come to me! Come to me and drink! Believe in me so that rivers of living water will burst out from within you, flowing from your innermost being, just like the Scripture says!”John 7:37-38 (TPT)Here is my declaration over you:You realize that on the most important day of the feast, the last day, when Jesus stood and shouted out to the crowds, he was speaking to you as You are the thirsty one, and you come to Jesus and drink!

CLICK HERE to download the free episode guide for THIS episode! What happens when our preference doesn't line up with God's preference? How can we even know God's desires? I've asked these questions since I was introduced to Rachel Morley's song "Preference." Join me as we explore a time when God's servants did something they 100% thought was right but did not line up with God's preference. In this episode, I discuss the following: Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture – this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Read in context Read and keep on reading Ask questions Follow the cross-references Meditate on God's Word Read in different translations Refer to an overview of the book you're studying Remember the people were REAL Repetition Consult an outside resource Episode Guide Download How God challenged me with my own thoughts An overview of Chronicles - The Bible Project on YouTube Reading the genealogies and making notes along the way Meditating on the details of 1 Chronicles 13 Learning more about the Ark of God Exodus 25 Numbers 4 Leviticus 16 Pondering the unique details of the narrative Discovering the previously abandoned plan to move the ark fulfilled in 1 Chronicles 15 Considering how David and the people should have known how to fulfill God's preference Finding time to build a life of knowing God and His ways   We won't get a pass, because we SHOULD have known His preferences — God provided a way for us to know and we leave it sitting on our shelves or unopened on our phones. Additional Resources Lyrics to "Preference" by Rachel Morley - NewReleaseToday.com Guide to the Book of Chronicles - Bible Project My favorite Bible Study Software - Logos Bible Software Affiliate Link This Week's Challenge Pull out 1 Chronicles and start reading. In the genealogies, make note of anything that jumps out at you. Ask God to show you what is important in the text. When you get to 1 Chronicles 13, meditate on the details. Follow cross-references to Exodus 25, Numbers 4, and Leviticus 16, among others. Then move on until you reach 1 Chronicles 15, where you see them successfully bring the ark of God to the City of David. What did David learn? What did you learn? Meditate on an area of your life where you are angry with God because His ways don't match what seems right to you. Surrender your preferences to Him.

You know that meditation is great for your mind, body and soul—but fitting it into your life can be easier said than done. If you find it hard to sit for 30 minutes with your legs crossed, trying to suppress your thoughts, you're not alone. For me it's nearly impossible. But my guest on this episode—award-winning author, broadcaster, speaker and meditation expert Lori Saitz—says it's OK. There is more than one way to meditate, and you can find a method that works for you. No matter how much stress you're dealing with or what the universe throws in your path, Lori says, a regular practice can change your life in so many positive ways. In this episode Lori and I talk about: How meditation helps to rewire your brain and positively impact your life in both immediate and long-term ways, such as reducing stress, boosting creativity, improving your relationships, and even helping you sleep better Why almost everyone's midlife experience has an undercurrent of “suck” and why that needs to be acknowledged before you can get to a better place How women were conditioned to bury our feelings and rationalize away our dissatisfaction (“I should be happy because I have X, Y or Z”), and how meditation can help if you're losing your zest for life or feel that something is just off How you know when your soul is calling for growth—and find the courage to respond to that call Steps you can take to discover your personal meditation “style” and make it work with your lifestyle How to use meditation on the spot in stressful moments, to calm yourself where you're at When it might be a good idea to consider a midlife sabbatical Lori also explains why she thinks big transitions in midlife should not be dubbed a crisis, but rather a re-evaluation or reawakening. And she talks about the hardest thing she's ever done—leaving her 22-year marriage, which she describes as “fine”—and why she had to do it. This episode will change your mind forever about meditation! Full show notes available at Morebeautifulproject.com.

Now, I think I first met you in 2006 at Blog World. Peter Shankman [00:02:26]: Yeah, it's been a while. We've known each other for quite some time. It's great to have you here. It's great to finally have you on the podcast. Give us 30 seconds about you. And I know that you have a bunch of stories you want to share with us. Brett [00:02:37]: Sure. Add first, real quick shout out to Skylight. My brother and I got that for our parents a few years ago and great gift for parents and other people who love to see the family photos and get excited when you load them in there. Peter Shankman [00:02:54]: That was their original product. The Skylight frame was the original product. The calendar www.skylightcal.com came next, which does mostly the same thing. Peter Shankman [00:03:00]: You still show the photos, but it also has a calendar on it. And I love that one for my daughter. Brett [00:03:03]: Cool  Peter Shankman [00:03:04]: Awesome. Brett [00:03:05]: Yeah. ADHD so I'll try to make it short. I guess the thing I would share about my story is I didn't get diagnosed until a few years ago, but about 20 years ago had a nephew on Ritalin and his mom's a psychologist and she said, hey, you might want to try this. And I did. And I didn't want to be on meds my whole life, so I didn't do much about it. But when I took it, I took it on a Sunday and in 4 hours got more done than I got done in a week. And I was like, oh my gosh. People's brains like, do this. And I know you've heard this story of your time. I've known for a long time. But then there was a point where I needed to get diagnosed, which a lot of folks part of it was to stay married and to figure out everything else than wasn't working. ADHD diagnosis and understanding that really helped to understand where things were so that we had a new place to create agreements together and build relationship, which is what I've now been working with people with for their careers as well as their personal lives. My life was all over the place and not planned and just a lot of luck and weird things. I became a DJ at college radio station 17. Then I was a music director and the program director started. I was a club DJ and had a mobile DJ company in college, all of that. One thing ADHD wise, that's weird about that is in high school I got asked by someone I'd known for a while, like, hey, do you want to be a cheerleader? And this other guy in the class the asked too. And I was like, oh, I don't know. But the teacher doing it had been one of my favorite teachers. I'm like, okay, these guys from the college are showing a team now since we get it. So I was a DJ at the punk rock radio station while I was a cheerleader at the high school, and then I was the vice president of a fraternity while I was the program director of the punk rock radio station, which made no sense to other people. But I just did what felt good and what seemed interesting and than just led me into a career in the music industry that I didn't plan. And that was great. So I was in the music industry. Peter Shankman [00:05:18]: That's classic ADHD. I mean you realize that's classic ADHD I'm going to do what feels good and all of a sudden have a career. Brett [00:05:25]: Yeah. And felt weird and it didn't make sense. And the whole time I had anxiety during the career because in hindsight, with the diagnosis, I can realize, oh, this is another reason why I gave up a natural position for a regional. And I moved from La. To Boulder, Colorado, because I could have bosses in La. And New York, and I was on planes all the time, which now I know. ADHD we love to be in motion. And you, with your books and other people know we think better. We get centered when we're in motion. And I wasn't having to go into an office every day and feel awkward and weird and trying to navigate the politics and the things that I couldn't scan because our brains are more empathetic and we're not really into those things. I'm ADHD I'm dumping all over the place with this. So career in the music industry when I left that realized it wasn't the ladder that I wanted to be on started a digital marketing company in the early 2000s was Blogging when that first came out. That's how I ended up meeting you at Blog World. Just got into social media early which was the main reason why I built community. In hindsight I realized I'm a community builder and I did it with music, I did it online. Then when I moved to Seattle ten years ago, I ended up doing it with the tech community and I realized that I'm a connector. I like to help people. It's one thing that made me resonate with you when I first met you and other weird thing when I was in Boulder, I left school for the record industry went back and finished my degree while I was doing 14 state territory and realized I could keep going. So I went continued with my master's degree. It wasn't actually at Cu, it was at Europa University which was founded by a Tibetan Buddhist. Just happened to be there. Somebody asked me to be on student council. And the one six month term I did happened to be when they had, after 15 years, gotten the Dalai Lama to come to Denver and the did a big thing at the Pepsi Center, but he came to the school. So I actually had a private audience with the Dalai Lama. Again, all this is like luck. And following ADHD and even speaking at the White House, I sat in the audience of New Tech Boulder for six years with 400 people a month. And when I moved to Seattle, I couldn't believe nobody had done it. The formula started after 911 in New York with the founders of Meetup.com had created New York Tech Meetup, which is still going strong and people new York, right? So people are there and then they go other places. So somebody had left in Boulder and I had already been in San Francisco for twelve years. I couldn't believe nobody had done this in Seattle. So I'm like, oh, I don't want to just have a job or do something, I want to connect with community. So I started it and it was just great timing. And two years later happened to be when the founder Meetup.com did the first and so far only tech Meetup at the White House because he had known the first female CTO at Google and she was the first CTO of US government under Obama. And they reached out and they asked like 50 Meetup organizers to come speak. And again, not totally, I literally almost fell on my floor when I opened the email. How did this happen? This is just doing what I loved and good things coming so a little longer than I wanted to go. But I realized that a lot of stuff. And ADHD. Peter Shankman [00:09:04]: It's okay though, I like that, I like that. Tell us about a lot of good stuff, right? You took these risks, they paid off. You're doing what you love to do. But it's not all sunshine and roses. It never is. No, talk about some of the negatives. Brett [00:09:17]: The negative was not knowing I had ADHD and having anxiety all the time and always feeling wrong. In hindsight, I can see most of us go through what seems like and possibly is like daily emotional poking from the outside, which gives us great radar. But also in my case I realized I also learned after I found out ADHD, and I know you've heard this a lot of times, then I discovered rejection, sense of Dysphoria, and for me I was like, oh my gosh, that's the deal. Like as much as I thought ADHD changed my entire understanding of myself and put me on a healing path around it. RSD just deepened my empathy for everybody else going through it. Add I was like, oh my gosh, I'm glad I'm not alone. But I feel for all the other people that with rejecting sensitive Dysphoria, being so outer oriented, which I think the positive of that is, makes me a great community organizer. The weird thing is, pre COVID, I was producing 52 events a year, getting on stage three or four times a month in front of hundreds of people. And I did it because I loved the connection with the people. Add, I was scared shitless every time. And still now I've been doing this ten years, and I get the fulfillment, because people come up and say, oh, I met a great business partner, I got a job, I met this wonderful person, I got this great idea from the presenters. And so I get the fulfillment from the community telling me that what I'm doing is valuable for them, and the saying, thank you so much for doing this, that this exists for us to find each other. But I get on stage and freak out every time. And when I had jobs, in hindsight I realized it wasn't just that I was a horrible employee, it was because this is actually something I talked to some of my clients about because especially in tech they go through this a lot. I'm not going to throw a blanket statement, but I'll say in general it seems that most companies are based on neurotypical systems. They're hierarchical and they're generally based on how do you get more money? How do you get more power? How do you get a better title? Most of the neurodivergent folks than I've met and work with, we are wired because of those things I was talking about in early life I think to be pretty empathetic. We have huge bullshit detectors and we don't work well in those systems. And so we want to go to work, do a great job. Our brains see all these problems people don't see, make all these great connections, create solutions that gives us dopamine it's awesome. Want to do that great job, be acknowledged for it, move up the ladder at work from doing a great job, go home and have a nice life. Then we don't understand why the guy who does half the work but has radar to find the right people to get his power and money higher is great at sniffing those people out, giving those people what they need. They sniff out the folks who do really hard work, usually a lot of neurodiversity folks who aren't necessarily or not self promoters generally and out our great work and they get to be the face of the work. They can go up the ladder and go, hey, see what our team is doing even though they're not doing the work. And you watch those people move up the ladder. And I don't say it seems like most situations are than way. I've talked to over 200 tech professionals that are neurodivergent in the last two years and I'd say almost all of them have experience of this, of like, why can't I just go do my great job, have a good career, have a good life? Because we're not wired to play those games and we hate the politics and we hate the nonsense. Peter Shankman [00:13:04]: Yeah, 100%. It's very accurate. That's very accurate. I think that one of the interesting things is that when that happens, instead of fighting it, we internalize it and that doesn't help us at all. It makes it even worse. Brett [00:13:20]: Yeah. And that's actually another thing with coaching that I work with people around is in coaching they talk about that little voice as the saboteur or the wounded child and your more positive self, the leader within the wise adult is really connected to your successes, your wins, and truly who the light you really are. But for ADHD I call it the YAB but full, because it seems like we could work 40 years on cancer and we could cure cancer, but as soon as we get at the top of that mountain, we're never looking back. And we don't acknowledge all the work that went into that and everything we did, because we're in the moment, we're getting the dopamine while we're hyper focused building it. We get to the top of the mountain, we cured cancer, and for 30 seconds it's awesome. And then we look around at the horizon and see all the other mountains and that little yeah, but Fro goes, yeah, but multiple sclerosis, what are you doing with that? And we're like, oh yeah, I'm a piece of crap, I need to go work on that. Peter Shankman [00:14:21]: No, it's so totally true. So totally true. Brett, I want to keep it at 15 minutes like we always do, but we'll definitely have you back.  14:26 - How can people find you? Socials: Yes. LinkedIn @ BrettGreene  Web:  newtechnorthwest.com add epsiloncoaching.com.  Brett: Can I just say one more?  Go for it.  I know you try to keep it tight. Yeah. One thing we talked about real quick on here than I think just because it helps people a lot is understanding neurodivergent more as an operating system that's different, like Apple versus Android. And when you understand that it's low executive function, low working memory, low dopamine, low serotonin, you can explain that to people, then you can create a new understanding and context with each other to move forward in a more positive and helpful way. So a quick example is if two people go to lunch, one person orders mayonnaise with their fries, the American goes, that's weird, and feels like it's really awkward. Add strange and why would a person do that? And then the other person says, oh, I'm Canadian, that's what we do. And immediately it just melts. It's like, oh, you're Canadian, right? What they do. The truth is we haven't been educated as a society. We're not educated on neurodivergent. Unfortunately. It's up to us to educate the folks around us. And actually I'm working on a book now on communication specifically to help neurodivergent people easily in like a 20 minutes conversation be able to explain what a neurodivergent brain is. So that now the understandings of like, well, why didn't you do that thing you said you were going to do? Why do you forget this now you're not going to get labeled as lazy and negative and these things because from a neurotypical perspective that stuff could be true. Bu once they understand a neurodivergent brain and go like, oh, well, you don't have the parts in your brain for that. You're at 20% executive function versus 100, and by eleven or 12:11 A.m. Or twelve you're spent for the day. Whereas I started with ten gallons of fuel I ended up with four and I'm tired. You started with two and you're at zero and we're acting like it's the same thing because we don't have the language to explain. Peter Shankman [00:16:24]: No. Excellent, excellent. Great answer. [00:16:27]: So thank you for letting me do that and thank you for allowing me to be on here. I really appreciate peter, glad to have you, Brett. Peter Shankman [00:16:33]: Definitely.

After a month or two of absence, the podcast returns for a new season, beginning with an unexpectedly wide ranging conversation with Dr. Richard Dixey. Richard holds a Ph.D. from London University, an M.A. with distinction in the history and philosophy of science from London University, and a B.A. Hons from Oxford. He has been a student of Buddhism since 1972 and has travelled extensively in the Himalayas, India and South East Asia. He is currently an advisor to the Khyentse Foundation, runs the Light of Buddhadharma Foundation and is a senior faculty member at Dharma College in Berkeley. We discuss two of his works, Searcher Reaches Land's Limits (Dharma, 2020), which is a commentary text on Tarthang Tulku's Revelations of Mind: A book that engages the reader in an open, non-dogmatic inquiry that has practical, philosophical, scientific, and meditative dimensions. The second is his most recent, Three Minutes a Day: A Fourteen-Week Course to Learn Meditation and Transform Your Life (New World Library, 2023), which makes a bold claim that we explore in our conversation. We also discuss epistemology, personal experience as all we have; we also touch on A.I. and the history and philosophy of science, and the current state of Buddhism in America. The introduction mentions a recent text called "An Antidote to Stupidity," written by the host, which is up at the non-Buddhism site, which listeners can read here.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Mindfulness teaches us to sit with “not knowing” as a way to be more open and alive to the present moment. We can't possibly know what's going to happen in the next moment so we can make our lives a lot more enjoyable if we can embrace the unknown.  Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Well hello there, I am so glad to have you tuning in today, listening. Welcome, welcome to the Empowering Working Moms podcast.   Recently, one of my clients was actually telling me that she was able to find her voice, she really felt like she was unheard. And through our work, she learned to find her voice, speak up for herself and basically get the job schedule and timing that she wanted, cutting back to part time work instead of I believe maybe she went from point eight to point six. But regardless, she is now creating more space, more time, more joy in her life, and she has learned to create small ways to connect with her kids that are not overwhelming. She feels like she's a better mother and a better spouse. S   o the work we are really doing here inside my coaching program, it's so remarkable and really not time intensive. I've created these streamline processes like my  3N method to help clients like this one, like Nidhi, get out of burnout and it is possible for you too. To learn more join my free on demand masterclass to end burnout and exhaustion and get your peace of mind back.   So I want to talk about mindfulness and practicing it without having to meditate and really what is a larger mission of mine. So my mission is to spread a modern fun, fresh spin on mindfulness for women like myself, professional moms, doctors, lawyers, executives, pharmaceutical execs, other kinds of doctors like veterinarians, chiropractors, you name it, who are exhausted because they've worked so hard, and they really deserve to enjoy their lives. And mindfulness is such a key component of this, and you don't have to meditate for hours and hours. And I'm going to talk about that today.   And why is this so important, my mission? Because mindfulness truly changed my life. Like literally, I feel like I'm a different person. It helped me to manage my anxiety, my stress, negative thoughts and emotions, and all these things that used to ruin my life, they used to make me so miserable, the stress, the anxiety, the negativity, now they no longer have a power over me. And in fact, I have power over them. So this needs to be shared. And that's when I realized that I want to spread this concept of mindfulness can be fun, mindfulness can change your life, and you don't have to meditate and sit for hours and hours, to have that beautiful positive impact on your life.   And I realized through working with clients, and even talking to my friends as well, that no one wants to sit and meditate. And this is really what led me to come up with my own easy, streamlined processes that are implementable step by step, quick to do. It takes a matter of seconds to help deal with any and all negative emotions, stress, anxiety, and all that stuff that is so prevalent in our lives, like my three N method. And you know, what's awesome about this, my life is not only less stressful, and less exhausting, and of course, no more exhaustion and burnout.   But the best part of all this is I am having fun every single day. And for me, that's really what my life is about. It's about my purpose, raising my beautiful little humans and of course, positively impacting the world. And that is why I became a physician. But I've actually found through life coaching, I have the privilege of working with moms like myself and having this impact on them. And then that, of course, has a ripple effect on their friends, their families, their children, their spouses, at their jobs. And that, to me is the greatest, most powerful work I can do.   So how did I get here? How did I find this powerful work? Well, basically, when I became a mother, my life completely changed. And what I found was with my older child, I was working full time, I think all of my colleagues were male, and a lot of them actually had wives who either were stay at home moms or their jobs weren't like high power professional jobs. So basically, I was kind of alone in my being a mom working in a high power job with a spouse who also worked in a high powered job, and I found myself feeling so anxious postpartum. At a certain point, it became crippling when I went back to work and I knew that I had to make a serious change. Otherwise, I was going to have to quit my job and I wasn't going to be able to function anymore.   So at that time, I would do these desperate Google searches in the middle of the night and that led me to find a group therapy that was specifically for professionals with anxiety. And one of the prerequisites of this group was meditation. And funnily enough, I will say that group was mainly men as well, which is also what made me realize women need a place to go. And that's why I've created my own group coaching program. I digress. So back to the group. So meditation was one of the prerequisites of being a part of the group and I had tried in the past, but I could never really stick to it.   Now, of course, when I joined this group, I am a good student and committed. So because it was something that the head therapist of this group required, I began to actually practice meditation and committed myself to doing it regularly. And also actually around that time, I needed to manage my stress better. So I began to exercise too, when I had hated exercise my whole life. And I started doing that when my son was a newborn.   And at the time that seemed to solve everything for me until it didn't. And that's how I dove even deeper into this work that I do. And that's a story for another time. But through regular meditation practice, I learned the tools of mindfulness. And what this did for me was help me to get distance from my thoughts and my feelings. And then I saw how powerful it was how maybe the emotions, the thoughts, the feelings, especially the negative ones, they weren't really serving me, even though I grew up in a home where emotions ran high. And feeling itself was a good thing, which it is, but maybe it was too much.   And I began to really evaluate what my thoughts and my feelings were doing in my life. And I got to choose to have the distance from the thoughts and the feelings. And that distance, I began to cultivate through my mindfulness practice, which is what I ended up learning after sitting for hours and hours of meditation. But what I carry from that, which I realized I could help other people do, because nobody wants to sit for hours and hours, nobody has the time, or they don't want to make the time, right. It's not practical to meditate constantly.   So I realized that you don't have to sit for hours and hours to find peace. And actually, you can do it in a matter of seconds. And that is how I created my own processes. My own modern mindfulness, fun processes inside my coaching program, including my 3N method. And these mindfulness practices really have two benefits. One is that you no longer have to be owned by your thoughts and your feelings. And that is so powerful. You actually have the power, you can own your thoughts and feelings, as long as you practice a little bit of mindfulness. And you can know that bad stuff will pass, that this too shall pass.   And number two, when you're practicing mindfulness, and maybe I didn't really define mindfulness, but being mindful is being in the present moment, being aware of your thoughts and your feelings and noticing, it's really just being aware and noticing. So when you can be mindful, that's how you become an observer of your thoughts and feelings, you're no longer one with them, you get to have distance from them. And that's how you empower yourself to not let them own you, if that makes sense. And if you have any questions about this, feel free to email me at prianca@stresscleansemd.com and I'd be happy to elaborate further.   Okay, so back to the two benefits of mindfulness, the second benefit of mindfulness is really being able to be present, and especially being present for all of the good times. And there is so much beauty that life has to offer. And this can be anything from a small thing like a hug, or a major life event. And I will say that before being mindful, I really let my life pass me by. And there's nothing I can do about that now, right? And I never really soaked in those moments. But now post this work, post having mindfulness in my life, my life is so much richer, and I literally get chills when I'm talking about this because I get to really feel moved by the powerful moments in my life.   And most recently, celebrating my 40th birthday with friends was the most meaningful, it just, I'm like getting choked up thinking about it, but people showing up for me and celebrating with me in such an important time in my life. And I'm so grateful to them. And they've also seen me through the darker times too, but just the consistency of the same people who have loved and cared about me for like 20 years and plus.   So anyway, the point is I'm sitting here, crying about that, and I'm not going to edit this. This is real, and this is raw. But the point of telling that is that I got to experience, for example, that beauty in all of its splendor, and really be present for it. And I have memories of celebrating my birthday that will stay with me for a lifetime. A shout out to my friends who were there for that, so thank you so much.   So with mindfulness, we get to cultivate peace of mind at any given moment, because we get distance from our thoughts and our feelings. But we can also be present and not be distracted, not scrolling on our phone, we can focus on our breath, let's say and really be where we are, and have that memory and just enjoy while we're there.   So meditating, I realized that mindfulness is really something that anyone can implement. So you get to be having fun and enjoy things and be present. And you have that easy awareness that you can sit with the negativity, let's say and notice it and not go down the negative spiral or the rabbit hole, and really just hone in on your mind body connection. And what I really did is, as you can imagine, I'm a physician, I have my master's in neuroscience. And I say all this because I clearly have the scientific background. And also, I obviously am diligent, I'm a hard worker.   So what I did was I put this science and I put this hard work, and I applied it to living my life. And that is why this coaching has been so powerful for me and it is for my clients too. And I get to reap the benefits of my streamlined processes that are easy to do to really enjoy life. And I teach my clients to do the same.   My client Lena who is a pharma exec, and she has two young kids, she really after working with me has been enjoying her life doing what she wants to do, what she sees as fun. She has her weekend time back, she's no longer overfilling it, she takes walks. She's gotten into guitar practice again. And she was even considering becoming a volunteer firefighter, which is so cool. But when she started with me, she was dreading the day and now she's actually really enjoying her life and creating everything she wants.   And she had asked me, it was music to my ears, she asked me where do I go from here when we were wrapping up and I said, Well, you know, shits gonna come up and you have the tools and you will use them. So that's what we do inside overcome burnout for good, inside my life coaching program, we've got these easy implementable tools that really not only get women out of burnout, out of exhaustion, out of dreading the day but really they get to create their best life. They get to enjoy their lives and it's just like a little bit of sprinkling of magic into it truly and you will find yourself having fun because that is what this is about.   Life is too short to not enjoy it. If you want to have a streamlined process to be out of burnout, out of exhaustion and truly enjoying your life again book a call with me and get started on this work. It's gonna work faster than therapy, yoga, or self help books, or whatever Google searches and articles you might be wasting your time reading because yeah, those are helpful but you really need an organized research based streamlined process that works.
