Podcasts about mindfulness training

Ethan discusses a classic Buddhist concept, sīla (or shila), through the lens of knowing where to place our attention and action, knowing "what to cultivate and what to reject." Choices shift energy and energy can build power, and that power can be the difference between awakening and confusion. Ethan also argues, using the five precepts (or five mindfulness trainings) as a guide, that this might be the key to building new powerful systems in the world. He also examines a rule for social change involving only 3.5% of us making different, more awakened choices. Imagine if only a few percent of us shifted our energy from harmful systems into something healthier. Check out all the cool offerings at our sponsor Dharma Moon, including the Yearlong Buddhist Studies program (The first 6-Week module, Entering The Path, is open to all) and  Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training, starting March 21.

Welcome to the 11th EPISODE of the BSCOS Paediatric Orthopaedic Digest (POD)cast & our 3rd festive episode we have invited more orthopaedic royalty: Professor Tim Theologis! Although recently retired from the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford, he continues to be heavily involved in academic research especially in children with cerebral palsy. He is principal investigator for a number of multi-centre randomised control trials including CPinBOSS, PICBONE, SPELL, ROBUST and is working on developing outcome measures for elective lower limb surgery in children. As past president of BSCOS we all learnt so much from his wisdom, his drive to continue understanding in our field, and supporting the next generation of surgeons.

It's not very often you hear that being fired was the best thing to happen to someone–but for Paul MacCormack, it was the turning point that changed everything. Paul is a 23-year veteran of the golf industry and is currently the Superintendent/GM at Fox Meadow Golf Course in Prince Edward Island, Canada. He's also an author, speaker and certified mindfulness meditation teacher.  After recovering from an episode of burnout, Paul founded Mindful Island Consulting, a leadership and mindfulness training company that helps workplaces improve their employment culture, retention, and overall well-being. The Turning Point For the first half of Paul's career, he had the pedal to the floor. He sacrificed his health and time with his family to work his way up to superintendent. But once he got there, he was too burnt out to enjoy the dream job.  Being fired from his position turned out to be a blessing in disguise. By then, Paul knew something needed to change, and when his wife handed him a book on mindfulness, he found the answer.  Mindfulness allowed Paul to get to know himself on a deeper level. He realized he'd been setting an impossibly high bar for himself and that his self-worth relied on hard work. And it wasn't just him–this was a pattern he saw reflected in other superintendents too.  Adding Quiet to Your Day If you recognize yourself in Paul's story, there are a few steps you can take to find balance. Mindfulness doesn't have to look like sitting in silent meditation (although it can). You can also try journaling, going for walks, or just sitting in quiet after the day is done. The important thing is to carve out space for yourself each day. The more mindful you become, the more you'll start to recognize patterns in your life. You'll notice idiosyncrasies in yourself and better emphasize with others. You'll also get to know where your limits are, so you know when to push and when to pull back. The Impact of Mindfulness on Your Work Paul jokes that, in the second half of his career, he's able to get twice as much work done in half the time–all because he allows himself proper rest. He no longers wastes time at working when he's being unproductive. Taking time off allows for greater creativity and problem-solving. One of Paul's other takeaways from his brush with burnout is to trust his team. Even as the superintendent, you don't have to do it all. Your job is to make sure it gets done, but that could mean hiring, training, and supporting others on your team.  Not only has Paul found this new approach more efficient, but it's also more fun. It's brought joy back to the game and to his career. Enjoy this episode with Paul MacCormack… Quotes “For the first half of my career, I did everything I thought I needed to do. But the problem was there wasn't much rest involved and the gas pedal was only to the floor. There was no pumping of the break at all.”  “Self-inquiry and self-reflection are the most powerful tools one can use to build your leadership style.” “It's really hard to lead others when you can't lead yourself and you don't know who you are.” “I work half as much and get twice as much done because I don't waste time at work getting nothing done.” “I don't have to be the beginning and the end of it all. I don't have to be the one who knows and I don't have to be the one that does it all. It's my job to make sure it gets done. And for me, that means training, hiring, trusting, and enabling the people that work with me to do the job.”   “Expectations in our industry can be ruinous. They can really eat you away both externally and internally because we succumb to completely unrealistic expectations.” “Golf is a game. It's meant to be fun and to be enjoyed by people.”  “You can have the greatest job at the greatest golf course in the world, but if you're burnt out and you're not living a life, what's the point?” Links mentioned in this episode: Mindful Island Consulting: https://www.mindfulisle.com/   Connect with Paul on LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/paul-maccormack-02749bb1

You hear all this talk about how the market is slowing down, and that's true, but only for those who don't know how to shift to the new market. Today we are talking about your mindset, it needs to shift, like the market. ResourceCheck Out Aaron's WebsiteReal Estate Marketing DudeThe Listing Advocate (Earn more listings!)REMD on YouTubeREMD on InstagramTranscript:What's up? Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our episode of the Real Estate Marketing Dude Podcast, folks, is a lot of people struggling right now, and I want to get right to it. You're struggling for a multitude of reasons. However, what it comes down to is getting what you really want, right? And why do you know? As much as the market has taken a a shift?00:02:36:17 - 00:02:58:10UnknownI'll give you an example. My one of the age used to work for me is way more successful than I ever was. She literally just sold a $7.5 million house in Naperville and set the world record for the most expensive piece of real estate ever sold in neighbor of Illinois. And I'm watching her, like on her business, and she's just crushing it.00:02:58:10 - 00:03:14:15UnknownI'm like, where's the slowdown? Where's the slowdown? Where's the slowdown? But it's not just, Lauren, that I see that with I see that with other agents out there. And I'm always like, okay, guys, I get it. The market has shifted. The markets change, not as many transactions, but the people that are literally running a business and they're actually like literally running a business.00:03:14:15 - 00:03:32:22UnknownI'm not talking to all you salespeople chasing the next paycheck breathing commission, breath setting the world on fire. What I'm talking about are people who are actually looking at their business, running it like a business and don't view themselves as a real estate agent, but more of an entrepreneur. And they're all doing fine. Literally, all of them are doing just fine.00:03:32:24 - 00:03:56:01UnknownAnd what is the difference between them and you right now if in fact you are struggling? And I think what you're going to get out of this episode is a lot of experience because we brought on Mr. Aaron Hendon and he's been doing this for quite a while. This is he knows he gets it. And the topic of today's show is very simple How can you get what you want despite what the hell is going on today?00:03:56:03 - 00:04:13:19UnknownWhy is it that some people are getting there and some aren't? What's changed? Because nothing's changed for them. I believe it's a lot of mindset, but that's what we're going to discover today. So without further ado is going to introduce our guest, Mr. Aaron Hinden. How you doing, buddy? Mike I'm doing great. I so appreciate the opportunity to be here and very excited.00:04:13:19 - 00:04:32:04UnknownIt's great. It's great to be here with all your welcome to the show. Aaron actually told me. Yeah, he remembered me from like eight years ago, like this podcast is now in ten years. But I've been pretty, I've been slacking the last 12 months on it. I haven't been as consistent. I haven't been much into it, to be honest with you.00:04:32:06 - 00:04:55:23UnknownI don't have anything. I'm in the middle of launching a new software and all that stuff, and I'm breaking my own rules that I've set and I've set the show with. Right. And I'm very embarrassed about that. So I'll be the first to admit that I'm not doing what I should be doing and I think that comes down to what stops people from getting what they want, because we I think we all know what we want.00:04:55:23 - 00:05:11:12UnknownWe know how to get there. But a smaller percentage of people actually get there. What's what gives there and what am I fucking up on right now? What am I doing wrong? Why can I do this? I love it. I love the way you even framed it. Couldn't be a better frame for what? For what happens for us.00:05:11:12 - 00:05:39:16UnknownBecause I'm not immune to this, okay? I come to this as I'm a old Jewish man from New York, so I'm guilt and shame and, you know, things are never so bad. They can't get worse was my family motto. So I'm all up in that as a default. And just the way you said what you said is perfect, because, look, there's no arguing that if you don't do the work, you're not going to get the results.00:05:39:17 - 00:06:07:13UnknownSo, you know, you're breaking your own rules. Right. And like you said, if you don't make the calls and talk to the people or put out the videos or the work that you know to do that produces the results, if you don't do that, you won't get the results. So we're not, but we're talking about what comes before that or what's this, the ground upon which that work is done or even what's the what?00:06:07:16 - 00:06:36:04UnknownHow does the work occur so that you'd do it? You know, when you said what you said about why I'm starting some new software and I've got other things on my plate, you didn't have the things. Just a bunch of excuses. Yeah, well, okay, so hang on before you get to that part. There's it. The work occurs, like, less important than the work around the software.00:06:36:06 - 00:06:59:16UnknownOkay? It's just there is a bigger opportunity with the software and that's what you're going to do. And so it's you're always going to do work that's consistent with you're always going to work on what occurs there. To work on occurs like there is to work on. So if you wanted to do other work, you'd have to shift the way it occurs to you.00:06:59:16 - 00:07:23:16UnknownThis podcast would you'd have to deal with this podcast is important, it's foundational, it builds the base upon which you could build that software and it would very little time. You could get to the value of doing this, but you'd have to do that work. First of all, does that make sense that you're always working on? You walk on the floor because the floor looks like something you could walk on.00:07:23:16 - 00:07:47:05UnknownI don't know if you've ever seen those. I had this little picture on my desktop of a floor of a carpet in Germany at a hotel in Germany, and it's one of these. And okay, I could share my screen, but I'll send it to you so people could see it on the website or the show notes. It looks like the carpet is got holes in it.00:07:47:07 - 00:08:14:19UnknownYou know, the way the lines in the carpet are drawn, it creates an optical illusion that the carpet is bumpy holes and dives and like that. And it really looks that way. You will see you look at it, you're like, wow, that's the way that looks like you would never run on that carpet. And that's why they installed it, because the people were running in that hallway and they installed it and people stopped running in that hallway because it doesn't occur.00:08:14:19 - 00:08:44:03UnknownIt occurs unsafe to run on. It's not it's the exact same scenario. It's literally the same floor. But it occurs differently. So for you with the podcast, there's it didn't occur as important. It occurred as something I could move off my plate. Same thing there. Does it make sense? Yeah. Fair. I mean, I'm like and then I'm like, but I got soccer practice like today.00:08:44:03 - 00:09:15:13UnknownI got football practice. I got to go cause I have tick tock that I'm from my bed so I'm not getting out of bed. Go, You know, I can't work out anymore. Even that it occurs like this, it this is it's not that it necessarily occurs is important. It occurs is an opportunity and lying in bed scrolling tick tock which is, you know, three rungs down from getting my kids to soccer practice in the world with excuses like value.00:09:15:15 - 00:09:40:06UnknownIt's still I don't know anyone who doesn't do, you know, without an immense amount of discipline doesn't succumb to an extra video or to those, those devices are built really well to capture your attention, you know. yeah, they're right. And very well like, like designed by the smartest people in the world. Brain science is like literally hijacking your brain.00:09:40:07 - 00:10:08:12UnknownYeah. Into just one more video, and then an hour later, you're like, I can't work out now because. Right. And your stuck time we can. Yeah, we can talk about that. You said something a word. Discipline. Yeah. And discipline is tough because discipline takes time. Are the results of discipline take time, I guess, Right? It sounds like you want to work out like, Hey, I want to go about.00:10:08:12 - 00:10:26:13UnknownLook, we're talking about how you cannot get to what you want to. Let's just take an example. I would relate to you want to lose £10? Who doesn't wanna lose £10? Right? Everybody. But why wouldn't I go out there and do it? Because it's going to take me three months. Yeah. And then I got to start somewhere and I'm starting that one thing is like, Damn.00:10:26:15 - 00:10:54:12UnknownYeah. Well, you know, Simon Sinek talks about and a lot of people talk about this, but, you know, when the why is big enough, the how becomes obvious that you're access to losing weight. Is having a Y big enough to do it? Is is there is there some future that you've created that's important enough for you, what that would call you to do?00:10:54:12 - 00:11:19:17UnknownThe things that would have the things that you don't want to do occur is opportunity is if you can get your focus on to the future you're creating. And rather than whatever this immediate muscle should rally. Yeah, ice cream, you know, like, okay, I want the ice cream. And it's not about not wanting the ice cream. I don't know that there's anything in the world is going to get I'm on a mission.00:11:19:18 - 00:12:02:06UnknownYou funny you mentioned losing weight, right? I started at to 20:06 a.m. at 206 now. And I have a mission to get under 200 because my wife promised me some really great starts. At first I get under 200 and I was like, okay, right. And she's not thrilled how close I'm getting it. She promised a whole bunch of stuff, but it's a future that inspired me, that moves me, that if I keep that future alive, I'm like, okay, I will eat one meal a day and I will up my protein and I'll find a substitute for ice cream, buy her up and you know, it's funny that you mentioned discipline and frustration and all that00:12:02:06 - 00:12:43:18Unknownstuff because I've been stuck like you at this. outside range, really close. But I've been stuck. I'm like, And I am so close to fuck it. I'm not doing it. Yeah, it's not worth it. This is too much. I'm going to give up. And why I'm so interested in mindfulness. We haven't brought up mindfulness yet, but by I've become so sort of fascinated with mindfulness is the ability to train the mind to choose what it focuses on.00:12:43:20 - 00:13:11:23UnknownBecause I could focus on that medicine, but it doesn't take me in the effort to focus on the focus and the muscle. It's automatic. The focus of the tick tock video is automatic. Focus on anything is automatic. You know, whatever pops up is automatic. It's Can I acknowledge the presence of that? I want that muscle. And what else is going on?00:13:12:00 - 00:13:40:22UnknownI could focus on the future that I want. because just because the want popped up first doesn't mean it's real. It doesn't mean there's any more real than the future that I'm creating. And that separation right there, that moment of choice where you can separate the immediate bond from the future. Your creed. If you can get that gap to be a little bit bigger, just a little bit longer, you have some access to power, too.00:13:40:24 - 00:14:12:22UnknownIt makes it takes a domain of discipline and puts it in the domain of choice. And it's radical. I want to go back to something else you said, Mike, because it really struck me, and this is a really good opportunity to distinguish choice and occurring and that whole world of empowerment that that we started with because you were like, that's about how you said it exactly.00:14:12:24 - 00:14:35:02UnknownBut you were like, I break my own rules. I'm not doing what I know to do. And you didn't you didn't call yourself an asshole, but you were being that this was the wrong way to be. I mean, I don't know if you talk to yourself about that obvious. I'm hard on myself. I have to be. Yes.00:14:35:04 - 00:15:18:03UnknownYes. Hard on ourselves. And I have gotten myself pretty convinced in my own experience. And this is from personal discovery, not I'm not asking you to believe me. I'm just asking you to try it on and see. But that first moment, if you could get okay, I'm now making myself the asshole. Am I more effective when I relate to myself as an asshole, or am I less effective and more effective when I relate to myself as an asshole or I am more effective when I relate to myself as an entrepreneur.00:15:18:05 - 00:15:48:06UnknownIs been podcasting for ten years? Who's got a following of 40,000 people or whatever you got? I don't know how to limit that. You may have bigger than that. That started multiple software companies. Am I more effective when I'm relating to myself as that person or as an asshole? Interesting. And then you just get into, okay, now could I relate to myself as an asshole?00:15:48:06 - 00:16:15:15UnknownI could. Could I relate to myself as a world class entrepreneur? I could. Now which one of mine choose? And the more we for me, I don't know. I think it's sort of a dumb question know, it's sort of like when I say it that way. Which one? Like which one is it? I don't know. It's a good question.00:16:15:17 - 00:16:34:13UnknownI'm more humbled to look at myself through the lens of an asshole, but who I am at the end of it, that's what humbles me in being like, shit, I have to look back. So you got to step outside your own shoes. Yeah. And, and like, see yourself like, I don't know, The analogy that comes to mind is like, when someone passes and they see themselves, like, slain in the hospital bed and they're like a ghost of themselves, right?00:16:34:15 - 00:16:54:19UnknownIt's like, see yourself in that in that position. For me, I have to do that. A lot of step outside and what's the word? Vulnerability, Not vulnerability. It's humility. Look, realize what what it is you do wrong. And you're right like you have to like because right now a lot of agents are like, Fuck what I do. This was working last year, but now it's not working right now.00:16:54:21 - 00:17:16:18Unknownwell, the first thing that comes to mind is like failure. I feel like a failure. Yeah. And then that when that happens, it's very hard to that overcome because no matter what, if you if you approach it from that way, it's very hard to, like, overcome anything. You know, there was a time my life like I would say three, this is like seven years ago, for three years in a row, I felt like a complete failure.00:17:16:20 - 00:17:35:21UnknownYeah. And it was rough to go out and get it, but I kept on going and like what you said earlier, the back your backs against a wall. You just figure it out like a squirrel learns how to hunt no matter what. And when winter comes and it just. It just happens. It's just who whom you are. Survival of the fittest, right?00:17:35:22 - 00:18:02:19UnknownBut a squirrel doesn't talk to itself about being a failure there. And they just being a human being. Only human beings fail. Squirrels don't fail. Squirrels may be hungry, but they don't need a support group. If they don't have enough nuts, they go do what they needs to do. And it's the conversation that I'm a failure that then who's going to do the work is someone who's a failure versus I'm a world class entrepreneur.00:18:02:20 - 00:18:22:17UnknownI'm going to get it. Why? I'm not going to get it because I'm afraid that I'm look like an asshole. I'm not going to get it because I'm I'm I'm good at this and I've done this before. You know, it just we just got a book. We have a book club and my team and we just got done reading ten X is easier than two X And have you ever heard of that?00:18:22:19 - 00:18:49:06UnknownFirst time I heard of it, I never you know, and one of the takeaways in that was if you're always looking at the horizon to measure your success, measure your growth, you're going to have the experience in the present moment of being a failure because the horizon always gets further away. Very well point, right? You got to look at how much I've grown and I think if you look behind you, yeah, you could get.00:18:49:06 - 00:19:10:23UnknownThat's right. It really doesn't work for you to have not done the podcast with the integrity with which you talk to people about it. It's not, doesn't work. It doesn't have workability to it, but it doesn't mean you're an asshole and it doesn't mean you're a failure. It means you chose a couple of things that you didn't choose, you know, that you could have chose differently.00:19:10:23 - 00:19:40:20UnknownAnd it'll give you a different relationship moving forward because what will be in the present is the experience that you're looking for out of the success. I mean, we've all seen this. I used to be with Kate, Bob and I've done the forum and done other programs. And this isn't the, you know, this beard you have right from I mean, if you did bold anyone who's ever done bold saw this.00:19:40:20 - 00:20:03:13UnknownIf you've done the form, you've done seen this. And it's if you want to be a success, you start with over here with who you're being, and then you do the things successful people do and you wind up having the thing successful people have. You don't start with the Lamborghini and then you, you know, you do that real estate, though, you know?00:20:03:14 - 00:20:41:08UnknownYeah, well, I wish I have a podcast. My friend Chris, but I try and manage my own contempt. I have a lot of contempt and I find it not useful, but automatic nonetheless. And I have a lot of contempt for Lamborghini, meaning a lot of like, Hey, look at me, here's my let's go away. But at the same time, you know, you starting your day from being a successful entrepreneur, software builder, creator, content creator guy who's literally helped tens of thousands of agents.00:20:41:08 - 00:21:09:01UnknownMike, you have helped. You've helped me, you've helped tens of thousands of agents get us to get off this night and start doing great work. That's you. And you start your day from there as a great husband. Dad. Yes. Now, how do you. Yeah. BOTH How do you train your mind? Because what we're talking about here, guys, is just I guess my personal experience is very similar.00:21:09:01 - 00:21:25:18UnknownWhat most of you are going through right now as well. And even in this in this episode, and I want to I want to unpack a couple of things he said, because like, I see how we're taking this experience, even just of this podcast, right. And relaying it to like what an agent saying, isn't it? Because you're early on, early on, like no one was listening to the show.00:21:25:18 - 00:21:41:00UnknownI wouldn't miss a week. And I did that for seven years straight now because I saw I'm going to build and actually I saw that software company built and I said by the time the software come, you have to have an audience of people. So sales aren't too difficult. So that was the vision that I had back then, you know, ten years ago.00:21:41:04 - 00:21:58:00UnknownBut then now that it's here and I have the audience and I have the 1.7 million downloads that at 1.8 or nine or two, but where the fuck it is right now, who cares? But now I'm lazy because I became complacent in the podcast on what I should be doing is having the same fuel of fire that I had in year one.00:21:58:02 - 00:22:16:12UnknownBecause the reality is, is that if I do put some more umph behind the show, if I, if I wanted to, I could accelerate results. So does that apply to you guys in this day and age right now, like with what is going on in the market, like there's no transactions are down. Okay, So now what are we.00:22:16:12 - 00:22:37:12UnknownYeah, right. They're down. Great. There are 40% less deals getting done than there were last year. And that's not unwinding anytime soon. And how many less agents are now in the business because of that, though? It's it's going to wind up being 40% less agents because that's because not everyone's going to do the work to get to capture the business.00:22:37:12 - 00:23:07:16UnknownIt's there. And what we keep telling our team is you just got to find a way to stick around long enough because the market will turn and, you know, you got you want to be able to be the go to guy. But go back to your question, Mike, which is, you know, one of a I just saw why you're doing it your you for sale the future you were out it's on sale no doubt right.00:23:07:16 - 00:23:23:19UnknownYou got the you did you work you put your head down seven years. You built the audience. Then you built a software that worked that was like exactly how you I mean, it may not have been exactly the way you planned it, but it did still, the future you were out. You never the way you plan it. Right.00:23:23:19 - 00:23:46:16UnknownBut you did fulfill that future. Yeah. And I guess in hindsight, you're right. And have you taken the time to create for yourselves a new horizon and a new future? Have you said, okay, I'm taking this 1.7 and I'm doing this and I'm doing that, and the next ten years, here's what's going to be there. Have you created some sort of.00:23:46:16 - 00:24:08:14UnknownNot to that I would say extent, maybe I haven't. I think that's part of my problems, like a therapy session. There is a stat empowering people to get what they want and if they don't have a future to live into that inspires them the best they can do is get motivated and disciplined, which is not going to last.00:24:08:16 - 00:24:33:11UnknownThere's a stat I just I'm trying to full x. I was going to do a video on it anyways. It said something along the lines of so you just had 40% less transactions this year. And then this one said something like only 49%. So 40% less transactions. Right. And then how many agents do you think we're going to 40% less agency think that's the final number, 30, 20, whatever the number is, it's going to be 60.00:24:33:13 - 00:24:52:03UnknownIt's going to be less. So. But then it also said only 49% of age are 49%. Agents only sell one or two houses in the last half months. Well, I was like, dude, if that's not even new, that's the way it's always been. And if you add up, the number of transactions are still a boatload of business out there.00:24:52:05 - 00:25:18:00UnknownItaly, there's more than enough business. I am always so amazed at how much business there really is, you know, And I'm but but even if 40% less, you know, I see I see agents getting I can't find it. So I you know, there's I can't believe there's enough business to keep anything in business, frankly. You know, there's 11 billion whatever Facebook.00:25:18:01 - 00:25:40:09UnknownWhere are these people? Where are all the people? But they're out there. There's enough this is there's there is an abundance of business to be had. And you could focus on those. They're harder to get or you could focus on, okay, where am I coming from? What value am I going to add to the marketplace? What am I going to do?00:25:40:09 - 00:26:08:08UnknownAnd and what's the future that I'm out to fulfill that will have the actions in the present occur like an opportunity versus if you don't create a future, if you look, 95% of our thoughts are negative thoughts. That's just the way the brain is work. Every social science, every psychological thing, you have 60,000 thoughts a day, 95% of them are there's something wrong.00:26:08:10 - 00:26:36:11UnknownAnd I don't know what percentage of those there's something wrong winds up being. There's something wrong with me. But I would think more than half sure there's something wrong with me. So you're if you're not intentional about creating your mindset, you're going to wind up living a life where you're constantly overcoming there's something wrong with you. And that's not necessary.00:26:36:12 - 00:26:56:19UnknownIt might be automatic, but you know what? You you, your dad, you know, you trained your kid and you used to wet the bed. Yep. Right. And you train. And that's the most natural thing in the world for a human being to do. I mean, you know, you train your baby and baby and you take them somewhere on a road trip and they would just pay you.00:26:56:19 - 00:27:14:24UnknownThey come out of that, you put on a new diaper and they would just be you'd be changing the diaper and they'd be peeing on you. It just wasn't a thing until you train them to not do what comes automatically. And now, Mike, I don't care how cold it is, how tired you are, within reason, how drunk you are.00:27:15:01 - 00:27:49:16UnknownYou're not wetting the bed because you trained yourself to not do what comes automatic. You can do that with your brain. You can train and you call this mindfulness training. Yeah, mindfulness. The ability to be present to what's happening in the current reality without judgment, just noticing it. And if you do that for enough time practice and I don't mean I don't you don't have to go sit like a monk for hours at a time.00:27:49:18 - 00:28:15:14UnknownI mean, practicing 10 minutes of mindfulness a day. Consistency is more important than the quantity, but the consistency every day, Yeah, you will begin to increase that space of choice and you'll see it in places where it didn't show up before. You know, like when my wife just walked in and could before we started the list was done.00:28:15:17 - 00:28:35:08UnknownBut my wife's I had to help her get on a Zoom call. My reaction I promised you my action a year ago would have been, What the fuck do you want? A monologue guest on? Yeah, about to get on the show. Yeah. Are you can't figure out you right? Some real shitty response which doesn't give me the life I want.00:28:35:13 - 00:29:04:00UnknownIt's not consistent with who I think I am as a husband. It's inconsistent with everything I pretend I like to pretend I am. And because I can and I can separate myself from the sphere, you want to separate yourself and commission breath right When you want to get in front of a client and no longer be talking to them about afraid I need this commission versus how am I going to help this person achieve what they're out to achieve.00:29:04:02 - 00:29:23:24UnknownYeah, versus already seeing the check in your your versus their end result or, or or or or fearing the check isn't going to be there. Right. You know all that I have found and my team has found it is available through practicing mindfulness on a regular consistent. So walk me through something like how do I get into that state of mind?00:29:23:24 - 00:29:43:24UnknownAnd I did. I agree with all of this. In hindsight, I'm sort of seen myself doing some of these things, like mentally, yeah, but like, how does someone right now, like there's agents out there like you guys need to do? Let me just tell you guys straight up and toughen up. I mean, this is just what it is.00:29:44:01 - 00:30:04:17UnknownIt's time, you know, You got to toughen up. This is this isn't going to be easy, right? Right. Well, what do I do? How do I get in this habit, though? It's like it's hard getting started, but it's not hard staying there because you got to. But because it's it goes back to, like, that whole working out thing or like when I said I start this podcast, but that's a long road that nobody wants to travel, a yellow brick road.00:30:04:17 - 00:30:29:04UnknownEveryone wants to already be at the end of it. And you know what I mean? Like, so like, what is the how do I get started in something like this? Because you're right. Everything I think everything is mindset set. It's it's why so many people have accomplished but people the 95% negative thoughts it's pretty obvious and how whatever you see in social media, whether it's spiritual warfare, negativity, whatever the hell you want to call it nowadays, it it's it's real, man.00:30:29:04 - 00:30:48:01UnknownAnd yeah, it hurts people and I see it out there. But how do I overcome that? What am I doing daily to, like, get that shit out of my head and be like, Fuck this, I can do this. I can do this because it is mindset. I don't do it well, okay, so first of all, you know, that's Lao Tzu.00:30:48:03 - 00:31:13:06UnknownThe journey of a thousand Miles starts with a single step. So it's it's a step. It's the next step. You don't worry about getting there. You just get the next step. Same, same thing with the podcast. And you were built. You were brick by breaking it because without your attending you could again, you could have your attention how hard this is you can have your attention on, okay, today I'm going to do 10 minutes of mindfulness.00:31:13:08 - 00:31:42:04UnknownThere's a million mindfulness. There's an app called the Insight Timer. They have I have an app and you can get the real sausage edge, and I have mindfulness meditation on that every day on Zoom. Sorry, on Facebook, I actually lead a ten minute gratitude meditation on a Facebook Live. So you can do that. But there's my point is there are a million, ten minute mindfulness guided meditations you can get on any platform YouTube, TikTok, whatever, right?00:31:42:06 - 00:32:13:15UnknownAnd you make a commitment to do 10 minutes, just 10 minutes of a guided meditation, of a guided mindfulness meditation. It's not a huge commitment in time. It's immensely this morning, late afternoon is every quarter different. Whenever whenever you can get 10 minutes, I find that I find if I wait, I don't get the 10 minutes. But I also do find from time to time that doing 10 minutes around two or three in the afternoon gives me a little boost because I'm a little tired.00:32:13:17 - 00:32:37:08UnknownThere's a lot of practice. So that's just the most basic practice. Actually, I have a cheat sheet of 13 different ways you can practice mindfulness. It's anyone that can grab it on my website. But that 10 minutes is really sort of a foundational piece. If you what your it's important to keep in mind what you're training yourselves to do here is just be present.00:32:37:08 - 00:33:01:19UnknownAnd one of the things that comes up for people most frequently in the beginning is, am I doing this right? Because I have all these other thoughts. People think, first of all, mindfulness is not just meditation. You can do that 10 minutes of meditation. But mindfulness is also try putting your phone down when you eat next time you want to do the advanced level, right, the down and dirty level.00:33:01:19 - 00:33:25:03UnknownMike, don't take your phone into the bathroom with you next and you take a dump and just sit. I mean, but just wait. You're just practicing, experiencing your experience and and that is it. And that is like, insane to talk about because it's like, well, that's anyway, so I'll do that like 20 years ago. Exactly like you do, right?00:33:25:05 - 00:34:00:07UnknownThere's a guy you take that or whatever Instagram that does that bit about how you know before you steps TVs in the cars. When we were sitting in the backseat just watching the traffic go by. Yeah. It's also different than being lost in thought. It's also not just being lost in thought. It's about actually noticing the current reality so that the temperature of the air on your skin and the way your chest feels as you breathe and you begin to separate yourself from your mind, you get that you're not your mind.00:34:00:07 - 00:34:26:22UnknownYou're the person you are, the observer of your mind. And the moment you get that and you can separate yourself from your thoughts, you then begin to have something, because then you could have the thought, because then you begin to have thoughts like, okay, one more real who's saying one more real? Is that the person that's building this business or is that the person?00:34:26:24 - 00:34:55:00UnknownIs that just my automatic am I peed on myself now I'm at you. But you got to get that first separation between you and your thoughts and not having not doing anything when you eat is one way, one way, not doing anything. When you not doing anything, when you jog or when you walk, or just taking 10 minutes to notice your breath again at you.00:34:55:02 - 00:35:21:15UnknownGoogle mindful meditations, guided meditations, and there'll be a million of them. And that begins. That's so how that's how you that's what there is to start. How you start is the way you start. Anything like you start is this is like this sort of apply to alcoholism. People are alcoholics who are drug addicts when it I don't know.00:35:21:19 - 00:35:52:06UnknownI am not like in that field and I just don't know enough about it to talk about it. Yeah, I wouldn't compare it to substance abuse just because I am not sure. But I mean, like if you're going to overcome something like you got to go back to the basics and this is like, yeah, if you're going to look at the, the scrolling of the tick tock as a, as an addiction, like it kicks off a chemical and they've designed to kick off chemicals in your brain that keep you down.00:35:52:08 - 00:36:33:08UnknownSo that is an addictive property. And it does take but it takes an acknowledgment of it like, look, yeah, this is me. I see your behavior. I am I. And unlike a substance abuse phenomena, there's no outward chemical to that. You could go take uses just literally you breaking that habit of doing that and I find that having a future that I'm out to fulfill that is important to me is a big enough is what's required.00:36:33:08 - 00:36:56:18UnknownAnd because otherwise discipline just is like yeah you have to have the lie like it's your family, it's your, you know, the little kids you see, you know, it's your what exactly? It's why it's what you do. And if you can focus your attention on that, then you will. Do you need motivation or inspiration? It may not even be fun working out.00:36:56:18 - 00:37:19:02UnknownI ever wanted to go to the gym before I went to the sub. I ever wanted to go to the gym before I went to the gym, even though I had this great future about it, I'm like, I still want to go. We go for the unresolved. You said, Yeah, that one. The two times I take my shirt off a year at the beach, it is worth like 2 to 3 months of just sweat and just misery.00:37:19:02 - 00:37:38:16UnknownRight? Just because you got to have that one thought. And then the funny part is that when you do want to go, it gets rained out. One of those two days I, I hear there's this a requirement for your guys is like teams now when you guys bring on ages of everyone in their team and I'm curious to know what the production level of your average agent cause this feels like this part of your guys's culture.00:37:38:18 - 00:38:08:07UnknownYeah, we we don't actually. It's interesting because it's part of the culture in general and we've started I ran a 90 day training program where we started with the meditation and creating a future and doing all that work and people basically did two X more deals than they were doing out of doing that. And that was the data.00:38:08:07 - 00:38:34:11UnknownI'd be super rich and how long have you been tossing that? And really just the last running of it was the first time where we really I had a I'm really interested in running it one more time because we got to something new about it that I think would just crack the code on the whole thing. So yeah, we should have you back in getting into trial of a new 90 day one, which includes the meditation.00:38:34:11 - 00:38:52:01UnknownI don't have enough data on it to really talk about. Yeah, this is for sure impactful, but I do think we've cracked the code out of the last one and the next one rerun. If people are interested, they should definitely hit me up on my website and I will get them in for free and will run test on them.00:38:52:03 - 00:39:20:22UnknownBut it can't hurt. It's certainly not. Yeah, I like it. Yeah. Why don't you tell them where that website is again. It's Aaron account. It's and you can, you know, there's a little lead magnet form on there where you can get the cheat sheet for mindful practices and that'll put you on my mailing list and I will spam you to death so that you hate me and unsubscribe because I have to make the say I'm no, I will.00:39:20:24 - 00:39:43:23UnknownEvery other week we send out valuable sort of here here's an opportunity here or something in the works like that. And when we run the next realtors you'll be informed. And I really I'm trying to sell that cohort now, get ten or 15 people that want to test it with me. I like it.

In this podcast, Pernilla and Louise discuss the concepts of awareness and presence. They start by reflecting on the experience of swimming in cold water and how it forces us to be present. They explore the difference between awareness and presence, with Pernilla describing presence as a feeling of being aligned with the flow of the universe and awareness as a knowing that comes from a larger perspective. They share a meditation exercise to help cultivate awareness and discuss the importance of asking questions to increase awareness in daily life. The conversation concludes with a discussion on remembering the past-present moment. In this conversation, Louise and Pernilla discuss the challenges of remembering details and staying present in conversations. The conversation then examines the question of whether fully enlightened beings remember and how being distracted by daily life affects memory. The conversation concludes with final thoughts on the topic and the importance of awareness.

This week's show brought to you by: LMNT Winter Did you know that you're likely to sweat as much, if not more, in the winter than in the summer? That's because we often wear such warm clothes to start our runs, which leads to more sweating towards the end. Plus, the sweat gets absorbed by our clothes, so it's harder to notice. Now, you already know that when you sweat, you lose electrolytes, which are essential for your body's best performance. But you've also been told that too much salt is bad for you, so it can get confusing to know what to do. The truth is that athletes, healthy eaters, and heavy sweaters all need more sodium and just about everyone needs more potassium in their diet and we don't need a bunch of sugar and artificial junk along the way.  Element is the hydration solution designed with athletes and everyone who sweats in mind. Element comes in lots of salty flavors that even the saltiest sweaters will love, such as citrus, raspberry, and orange.  It even comes unflavored for those who prefer the clean, salty taste. That's why we recommend all runners check out Element this winter. It's loaded with everything you need to replenish your electrolyte balance with 1000mg of sodium, 200mg of potassium, and 60mg of magnesium, and doesn't include anything you don't need like extra sugar or anything artificial. Even better, they are currently running a special deal where you can get a free LMNT Sample Pack with any order. So, order your favorite flavor and get a free sample pack to try out new flavors or share with your running friends. To claim this exclusive deal you must go to drinkLMNT.com/runnersconnect.  Lagoon Lagoon specializes in making pillows designed specifically for runners and athletes to help them optimize their sleep and recovery.

In this episode of Voices with Vervaeke, Dr. John Vervaeke and guest Alexander Beiner, a leading voice in the world of psychedelics, discuss psychedelics' role in contemporary society. They tackle complex topics like the dangers and potentials of mixing politics with psychedelics, the mechanics of mystical experiences, and the modern meaning crisis. The duo also delves into the risks and rewards of commodifying psychedelic experiences. They explore the latest scientific studies, personal accounts, and anecdotal evidence, weaving them into an intricate narrative that invites listeners to consider psychedelics beyond recreational use. From trials at Imperial College London to DMT injections and the exploration of meta-cognitive skills, this episode serves as a comprehensive guide for anyone interested in the intricacies of the human mind, altered states, and the possibility of a collective conscious awakening.   Alexander Beiner (@AlexanderBeiner) is an author, journalist, and facilitator who is dedicated to bringing countercultural perspectives into mainstream conversation. With an approach that blends writing and experiential transformation, he's committed to helping us navigate the complex era we find ourselves. Alexander is the author of 'The Bigger Picture: How Psychedelics Can Help Us Make Sense of the World'' and also pens a popular Substack with the same name. He serves as an executive director for Breaking Convention, Europe's seminal conference on psychedelic medicine and culture. Additionally, he co-created and co-facilitates Regenerative Stewardship, a legal psilocybin retreat. A pioneer in alternative media, he was one of the founders of Rebel Wisdom, a platform that delved into the realms of systems change and cultural sensemaking.   Resources: Alexander Beiner: Website | Substack | X John Vervaeke: Website | Facebook | X   The Vervaeke Foundation   Rebel Wisdom — YouTube: Psychedelic Capitalism and The Sacred   John Vervaeke — YouTube: John Vervaeke: Artificial Intelligence, The Meaning Crisis, & The Future of Humanity Conversation with John Vervaeke - AI edition - Jordan Hall   Regenerative Stewardship Breaking Convention Challenging Psychedelic Experiences Project ‘I took part in a radical psychedelic clinical trial and it changed my life forever' 'Why Socrates was a Monster' with John Vervaeke We Will Call It Pala   Books: The Bigger Picture: How Psychedelics Can Help Us Make Sense of the World - Alexander Beiner How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence - Michael Pollan Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge - Jeremy Narby The Razor's Edge - W.

Bruce Willis, the Actor, has a quote, ‘You Can't Undo The Past, But You Can Certainly Not Repeat It'. Many people residing behind the wall have experienced disciplinary issues in the past. A mindfulness program developed at the Hampden County Sheriff's Office, by program manager Dan Cavanaugh, in 2019, is experiencing dramatic results for those participants who are currently incarcerated. The program, aptly named, S.A.V.R., Stress, Anger, Violence Reduction, not only teaches meditation and mindful behavior but addresses topics like anger management, cognitive-behavioral therapy skills, parenting, and domestic violence.

Are you struggling to find moments of stillness and clarity in your busy life? Practicing mindfulness can help you cultivate a deeper sense of awareness and presence. In this video, we'll share four simple steps to start practicing mindfulness today, no matter where you are or what you're doing. Step one: Be aware. Take in everything around you and focus on the present moment. Pay attention to what you're doing, feeling, and the environment you're in. Step two: Don't multitask. Studies show that focusing on one task at a time actually increases productivity and reduces stress levels. Resist the urge to juggle too many balls at once. Step three: Be intentional with mundane tasks. Instead of rushing through chores, focus on each step and the sensations involved. You may be surprised at how much more enjoyable even the most mundane tasks can be. Step four: Listen actively when others are talking. Give them your full attention instead of planning what to say next or worrying about your to-do list. By following these four steps, you can start practicing mindfulness today and find a greater sense of peace and clarity in your daily life. So, focus on one task at a time and be present in the moment, even in the midst of a busy schedule.

Anxiety has a lot of bad connotations. While it can be a crippling force, when combined with mindfulness training and focus, anxiety can become a motivating force that pushes you forward. In this episode of the Super Entrepreneurs Podcast, Joe Ochal talks about how his anxiety pushed him forward and allowed him to reach where he is.   Who Is Joe Ochal?   Joe Ochal is a chimney scientist. If you don't know what that means, listen to this episode and hear it directly from one of the most reliable sources in North America when it comes to chimneys. Founder of the Chimney Scientists, Joe Ochal succeeded in becoming one of the leading businesses in his domain before turning 34. His story is such an inspiration for all young entrepreneurs who feel stuck.     How is Joe Ochal Super?   JoeOchal's greatest power is his anxiety. However, that doesn't mean he lets anxiety take a hold over him. Joe Ochal explains in this episode how mindfulness training, when combined with a healthy dose of anxiety, can be quite motivating.   Shahid Durrani's Key Insight: Shahid Durrani's key takeaway from this episode is to learn the power of branding and use anxiety to your advantage.

In this episode I review George Mumford's book the Mindful Athlete. After experiencing a variety of hardships through the early part of his life Mumford found mindfulness and eventually became a mindfulness expert earning his Masters degree in the field. Mumford went on to help thousands of inmates as well as practice in his preferred clients professional athletes including the Chicago Bulls under Phil Jackson and the Michael Jordan era. Over time Mumford developed the concept of the five superpowers:- mindfulness-concentration-insight-right effort-trustThese superpowers are interconnected and work togetherIf your mind is filled with distracting emotions you lose your flow. You're no longer in the present moment. If you're thinking about that comment or argument from yesterday, you've lost the current moment.Purchase your copy of The Mindful Athlete from AmazonUse the coupon code Goals to get my ebook Ingrained, 3 Steps to Achieve Any Goal for $1.

That's what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential. There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” - Dr. Erik Korem   "Stress is your brain and body preparing you to do something effortful." Dr. Alex Auerbach “I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you're leading, you're a leader. If you're swimming, you're a swimmer, if you're driving, you're a driver. If you're leading, you're by definition, a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to decide or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it's your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce "Attention is the currency of performance." - Dr. Peter Haberl “That's what I've discovered in the lives of brilliant, prolific, healthy creatives, is that they have networks of people they leverage in the course of their work. That they learn from, that they were challenged by, that they gave great insight and purview into their own life and work, in such a way that they were able to receive feedback that helped them get better at what they do.” - Todd Henry "Restful and fulfilling sleep enables you to grow, adapt, and thrive. It creates the conditions for adaptation, so you can pursue audacious goals and thrive in uncertainty." - Dr. Erik Korem "Most exercise programs fail, not because the reps and sets are poorly designed, but because the program doesn't adjust for how much stress your body can adapt to that day! That's why Dr. Chris Morris' research and practical application of fluid periodization is the key for unlocking your performance potential." - Dr. Erik KoremSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Siegel writes, "We have the possibility of creating a world of compassion and well-being and we have the capacity for mindless violence and destruction." By practicing mindfulness and strengthening our brain's connections through neural integration, we can gain more control over the impact our thoughts have on ourselves and others. We can become more attuned to one another, empathize quicker, create acceptance, and connect with more than just ourselves. In the second half of this episode, we welcome our first guest, Emily, to participate in some mindfulness strategies that we hope will give you insight into how mindfulness works, but also recognize that it isn't always easy... and that's okay. Most findings in this episode come from Dan Siegel's The Mindful Brain, as he's spent decades studying this topic and founded the Mindfulness Awareness Research Center at UCLA.

*Join Jordan at this science-backed training on Sept 6th "Compassion-Based Boundaries: An Introduction with Jordan Quaglia, PhD" (https://www.naropa.edu/event/compassion-based-boundaries-an-introduction-with-jordan-quaglia-phd/) *"In this workshop, Director of Naropa's Cognitive and Affective Science Lab, Jordan Quaglia, PhD, offers an introduction to what he calls compassion-based boundaries, a science-backed framework that provides practical skills for navigating complex interpersonal situations." "But if someone has trained their attention in a particular way to be more open and receptive, there might be even a different felt sense to someone listening to you from that perspective. So, I think that's not a bad sort of just little example of thinking how it is that training our own mind, training our own attention and intention and awareness can have ramifications for others in our life as well. And it offers us the potential I think, to be generous with our minds. And you could say generous with our hearts. If we have more attention available in the sense that we've grown this capacity to pay attention, then we can be more generous with our attention without it feeling like we're depleting ourselves."

Mindfulness–is just an overused buzzword, or could it be the key to mastering our brains and living a more connected and fulfilling life? As told by Dan Siegel, “Mindfulness in its most general sense is about waking up from a life on automatic and being sensitive to the novelty in our everyday experiences.” On a neuroscience level, mindfulness is so much more. In fact, Laine and I were so in awe of how intentional thoughts can not only strengthen our brains but also encourage empathy and connection with others, we couldn't help but make this a two-part episode. Most findings in this episode come from Dan Siegel's The Mindful Brain, as he's spent decades studying this topic and founded the Mindfulness Awareness Research Center at UCLA. Additional resources can be found below. Knowing how practical this topic is as well, be sure to stay tuned for Part 2 next month where we'll walk you (and a special guest) through some mindfulness practices that you can incorporate into your daily life!

Hello to you Patrice Kealy listening in Montague, New Jersey! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.My teacher, the Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh lived deeply in each moment of daily life, a practice born of bearing the wounds of war and offering a lifetime of mindfulness training to lessen our suffering and restore our joy. His words sustain me in these times; they may do the same for you.This is what Thay taught: "Aware that life is available only in the present moment and that it is possible to live happily in the here and now, I am committed to training myself to live deeply each moment of daily life. I will try not to lose myself in dispersion or be carried away by regrets about the past, worries about the future, or craving, anger or jealousy in the present. I will practice mindful breathing to come back to what is happening in the present moment. I am determined to learn the art of mindful living by touching the wondrous, refreshing and healing elements that are inside and around me, and by nourishing seeds of joy, peace, love and understanding in myself, thus facilitating the work of transformation and healing in my consciousness."You're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!

Mindfulness, is the practice of training our minds to be, present, moment by moment. When we are, mindful, we are, conscious, of what is happening around us, our environment, our emotions, our reactions, etc. When we are fully, present, or practice, mindfulness, we listen rather than just hear, we perceive rather than just see. Mindfulness, affects everything we do, and impacts every interaction we have with others.In this episode of 5 mins with Coach Myrna, I teach on the topic of, Mindfulness. Mindfulness,  is the art of, being present. It is not as easy as it may seem to become, mindful.  As humans we are controlled by automatic programming for over 95% of the time, so remembering to stay in the space of, mindfulness, is also saying to become more, conscious.
