Reminder of our November Challenge - Compliment yourself daily, two minutes of gratitude daily, five minutes of goal focus daily, give someone a compliment or share your appreciation for them, celebrate yourself. Let's talk about checking our dashboards. Dashboards are all the rage in running business so that we can see what is going on. Of course, we are likely initially familiar with the term dashboard from driving a car. Have you ever been driving on the open road or perhaps taking commuter transport and you get lost in your thoughts. Before you know it you've passed your exit or stop. Or maybe you've missed the most convenient opportunity to fill up on gas or to stop off to get your morning coffee. Just like we try to maintain awareness when going from physical location to physical location, it's important for us to maintain awareness during our life journey. Sometimes, that might mean preparing for an opportunity, sometimes it means taking advantage of an opportunity, sometimes it may mean taking time to "fill-up" or "tune up" for the journey ahead. Sometimes we get warning lights and it's important we pay attention to those warnings so as not to cause undesired harm. In addition to helping us with warnings, dashboards also provide information about our experience. How many miles have we gone, what is our direction of travel, what is our rate of speed, where it the next rest point. There is a lot that can be gained by checking the dashboard if we know how to use it. So what are things in your life, you can use to check in, to take care of yourself. If we take care of ourselves, we will be prepared to make the journey. #DoYouHaveACoupleOfMinutes #Think #Learn #Grow #Fulfilled #Experience #Circumstances #Mentors #Confidence #Failure #Disappointments #Change #Redirection #Perspective #Dashboard #SelfCare #Direction

Check your mind what are you thinking about constantly... It's time to do a Mind Check.. 

Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve. A negative mind will never give you a positive life. So let's talk about a mind check.

Too often we get into our own heads and end up making a situation worse. It's time we realize that God wants us to relax and not panic about stuff. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/corey-bryant-lowe/support

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have the consummate balance of an entrepreneurially sharp yet resolutely calm mind? Well … mystery solved! Our intrepid host, Mirena Umizaj, invites mindfulness paladin, Attorney Joe DiNardo, an incredible source of inspiration and pillar of strength to many in the field of law. Revisiting his humble beginnings, Joe reminisces about the 1100 square feet home of his childhood. Not expecting to attend college, he almost serendipitously finds himself at Brockport State College and surprises himself as he turns into a mainstay in the dean's list. Enjoying his undergrad success, he transfers to the University of Buffalo, subsequently attending law school. With so much altruism in his cadence, he starts his career in a “lower economic and African-American part of the city,” teaching part-time at a GED and adult education center—all the while offering his services to an impoverished community who have no means of affording an attorney. Because of all the false arrests and destitute offenses he had to represent, his reputation as a defense attorney flourished. From one mountain to the next Everest, his 26-year career burgeons from personal injury work into the litigation funding company he founded in 2000, Counsel Financial. Meanwhile, sharing the same interests, Mirena and Joe deep-dives into the zen of mindfulness and spirituality.  He impresses us with his stalwart, 4 am meditation habit, and five decades of transcendentally centering oneself to bravely face the many pitfalls life throw his way. As a mindfulness expert, Joe expounds on the foundation, nuances, methods, and health benefits of “sitting” and intentionally drawing strength from a quiet mind. It's no wonder Joe knows how to find peace even from the tragedy of his wife's passing.  We hit a hard note as he shares Marcia DiNardo's bittersweet journey and her brave battle with cancer. Her undue demise in 2015 rocks his world in so many ways. As Joe engulfs us with their beautiful story—the tremendous love and family they shared and the best things he derived from knowing her—we see a successfully prolific yet humble man, seeing our dreary, cimmerian world through cloudless eyes of unabashed hope.

[01:27:28] “And that's what the Buddha said in the very first discourse he ever gave...the illness for all of mankind is craving. It's just wanting ... either to hang on to things or wanting to push away the uncomfortable things, it's all just one little thing- craving” [02:02:18] “As a caretaker, it's not our job to do what we think a sick person needs, it's our job to listen to what they think they need, and to comfort them as best we can.” ABOUT OUR GUEST: Joe DiNardo Founder of Counsel Financial, a commercial lender offering loans and credit lines to law firms.

This concept is based on imagination -- the ability to envision, see the potential, create with your mind what we cannot present see with our eyes.  Because what happens if you don't make a conscious to use your imagination and visualize who you are and what you want in life, then you empower other people and circumstances to shape you and your life by default.

The landscape of yoga studios is not what it once was. With some studios closed permanently and others open only temporarily or in limbo, practitioners who relied on guided classes may be more motivated than ever to develop a self-led practice.In order to have a regular self-led yoga asana practice, you need one thing: some form of inquiry practice. Whether it’s a regular mindfulness practice, a journaling practice, or another method of self-examination, you need to be able to assess your current state of being so that you can select methods that address your present needs. After all, what is a yoga practice if not the opportunity to attune and attend? In this episode, Jen and Sarah Jane introduce the body-heart-mind check-in, a three-part inquiry practice that allows a practitioners to investigate: How does my physical body feel today? What is present for me emotionally?Where is my mind and is my mental body cluttered, free, or something else?And once we know how we are, we can proceed from there. Jen and Sarah Jane share tips and examples from their own practices and teaching.
