Get the year off to the best of all possible starts with Shaun and Robin and the lovely lady with all the skills…
A few years ago, I read an article about the tradition of the prisoners' last meal. And then how it ended in many states. One of the stories involved a man requesting a single olive as his last meal. That is all that he wanted. He looked at it, held it and then consumed it. To me, that is an example of a mindfulness practice. In this episode, I'll define what it is and a few resources for you to check out. I may not be the best person to talk about mindfulness. I'm getting better at it. And I know it does work because better people than myself do it every single day.

On this episode of Exploring Mind and Body I have the opportunity to interview Donald Altman who is the author of Clearing Emotional Clutter. I feel like so many of us carry around our past, we're weighed down emotionally and haven't learned how to let go. I like the example Donald used in the interview as he talks about Hoarding. Many of us have watched the show hoarders, and many of us have thought, 'how could they live that way'. I'd imagine if you could look deep into our emotions, you'll find emotional hoarding in most of us. As a psychotherapist Donald has an interesting way of looking at the mind and helping us understand how to let go of mind clutter. He even discusses how we can retrain our brain and way of thinking so we can have more positive thoughts and emotions. Who is Donald Altman?
