#90: [Inside the Mind] Dr. Rick Sessinghaus: Resilience, Flow, Fear, and Harnessing the Dark Side In this powerful episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Rick Sessinghaus—longtime mental coach to Collin Morikawa and one of the leading experts in golf psychology and flow state training.  We explore the often-overlooked layers of resilience, how to avoid complacency after success, and the tools to shift from fear to flow under pressure. Rick shares actionable strategies, cutting-edge technology insights, and practical routines you can apply both on and off the course to perform your best when it matters most. In this episode, you'll learn: Why resilience is just as important after success as it is after setbacks. The subtle difference between mental toughness and resilience—and why it matters. How to shift from a fear state to a flow state under pressure. The role of curiosity in replacing judgment and accelerating learning. How sensory triggers and breath work can prime you for peak performance. The measurable impact of technology on training focus and emotional regulation. Why outcome goals and process goals can—and should—work together. Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here.

Mental toughness is overrated. Emotional regulation, self-awareness, and curiosity are more sustainable mental skills. Flow happens when your perceived skill matches the challenge. Fear arises when you perceive the challenge as greater than your ability—even when it's not. You can train flow state through breathwork, anchoring routines, and sensory cues like music, temperature, or feel. Reflection—done without judgment—is essential. Curiosity > criticism. Technology like FocusCalm and Mendi can now measure brainwave activity and train real-time focus. Cold plunges and challenges off the course build resilience you can bring onto the course. It's okay to care about outcome—but learn to measure success through your process. You're good enough. That self-belief is the filter that colors every golf shot. Key Quotes: Resilience isn't just about bouncing back—it's about staying focused when things go well too. Curiosity over critical—that's our mantra for post-shot routines. Flow follows focus. You must train your attention to stay present. You're already good enough. Most golfers don't need more skill—they need more belief. Cold plunges aren't about golf—but they teach you how to do hard things. That transfers. Don't just do a routine because your coach told you to—make sure it gets you calm, confident, and committed.

In this episode, we'll embark on a 12-minute guided meditation designed to cultivate peace, ease, and refuge in the present moment. This builds reslience.Our focus today is creating a sanctuary within ourselves. In a world filled with challenges—wars, layoffs, and economic uncertainty—we'll establish an inner refuge where we can temporarily set aside our concerns and simply be.We'll begin by consciously releasing our worries as we tune into our body, mind, and heart, acknowledging our current state without judgment.After resting in this space of refuge, we'll transition to practices of loving-kindness and compassion—first directed inward toward ourselves, then extending outward to all beings.May this practice bring you a sense of peace and renewal.PS: Introducing the…

Hello to you Byron and Mariah Edgington listening in Gainesville, Florida!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.My friend Byron Edgington wrote: “Isn't it fascinating how we humans revert to past events, as if we could/can change what happened there?”Yes. We humans can be a silly species failing to acknowledge the past as the past. The past is like the wake behind a boat - the series of waves that trails behind a moving boat. But the wake doesn't drive the boat; however, awareness of and learning from the past is what allows us to drive the boat of our present into a better future.  The phrase "the wake doesn't drive the boat" (a metaphor attributed to Alan Watts) means that your past or wake of your life boat doesn't determine your future. Yes, learning from our past influences our present actions; but the future is determined by how we drive our boat now, not by the path we've already traveled.Question: How have you learned to drive your boat forward based on choices arising from past lessons?Click HERE to listen to Alan Watts talk about the boat analogy and how it applies to the present moment.Thank you for listening and steady as she goes!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Our life can carry us away when we aren't looking. The mindfulness we get from practicing meditation can very easily point us back in the direction of the present moment that we can loose sight of so easily. The breath is our compass. In and out. In and out. One breath at a time.

In this week's episode, 215 - Tips for Worry and Overwhelm, I'm sharing one of my favorite mindset tools to help missionaries—and all of us—navigate those heavy moments when the future feels too big or uncertain. Whether you're preparing to leave, currently serving, home from your mission, or parenting a missionary, this episode is for you. We're talking about how to “zoom in” and “zoom out”—and how both are powerful tools when used on purpose. I'll walk you through a story from one of my clients, break down how our brains react to unknowns, and offer super practical ways to bring your focus back to the present moment. This simple shift can bring so much peace, clarity, and confidence. If your thoughts ever spin into worst-case scenarios or you feel stuck in the unknowns, this episode will give you a helpful reframe and a sense of direction. Can't wait for you to listen! As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

Morning Mantra: "Don't be absent from your own life."I wish I could tell my 20-year-old self what I now believe is the most important thing in life. I would tell her, with all my heart, just to be present and open to the moment that is unfolding before you.Because ultimately, your life is made up of moments. So don't miss them by being lost in the past or anticipating the future.I didn't fully embrace this before because I was young, willful and very driven.  I was always thinking of what I could do next.  Or worse, what I could have done differently. How many amazing moments did I miss because of this way of living?The present moment is not found by trying to escape it.  It is found by being here now.  The here and now is all we have, and if you are present for it, it's all you ever need.#BeHereNow #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #HorseHippieBoutique #InspirationalQuotes #Inspire #QuotesToMakeYouFeelGood #QuotesFromTheHeart #MorningMantrasQuote: Jessica Lange

Could anxiety just be energy misinterpreted? Kate Mason sits down with clinical hypnotherapist and bestselling author Jake Yanitz Rubin to explore a radically new understanding of anxiety—not as a mental illness, but as a misunderstood part of the human experience. They dive deep into how reframing anxiety as energy can unlock personal growth, self-awareness, and even spiritual awakening.

The constant buzz of notifications has become the soundtrack to our lives. That little device in your pocket connects you to everything and everyone—except perhaps what's directly in front of you. For motorcyclists, this digital tether creates an ironic disconnect from the very experience we seek.Remember when communication required intention? When a pager meant someone truly needed to reach you, and finding a payphone was part of the adventure? Today's always-on culture has its conveniences, but while riding, your attention is your most precious resource. The dance between rider, machine, and landscape demands complete presence—something increasingly rare in our notification-saturated world.The magic happens when you deliberately unplug. Tucked away in my saddlebag, silenced and forgotten, my phone no longer competes for attention with the journey itself. What emerges is nothing short of transformative: heightened awareness of sunlight filtering through trees, the changing colors of passing fields, the rich tapestry of scents from pine forests to approaching rain. The soundtrack shifts from notification pings to the harmonious blend of engine hum, rushing wind, and nature's chorus.Beyond these sensory delights lies something even more valuable—a mental settling, a focused calm that comes when your mind isn't pulled in countless digital directions. This state of flow becomes a moving meditation, a genuine antidote to modern stress. The ride transforms from mere transportation to a profound reconnection with life itself.I challenge you to try it on your next ride. Leave your phone out of reach. The initial discomfort of disconnection quickly gives way to something richer and more satisfying—a journey experienced fully, with all your senses engaged. Because motorcycling isn't just about covering miles; it's about being fully present for every one of them. Sometimes the simplest step—unplugging—opens the door to the biggest adventures.

In this episode of Moon to Moon, I reflect on the compass of the present moment and what it means to live in self-trust, intuition, and connection with the mystery. I speak from within the energy of the hermitage—this sacred space of turning inward—and share how Emergence Astrology Year One supports you in building a relationship with your own inner voice, your own timing, and your own path.  I talk about the ways guidance arrives through both the seen and unseen worlds, how we unshame ourselves in order to become more available to life, and why the hermitage is not about withdrawal, but deep restoration and clarity. I also share what to expect from this container and what might be calling you in, especially if you're still circling the threshold.

In this episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee explores the concept of moving at your own pace through a reflective narrative inspired by a walk with his dog. As Baylor shares his experience of learning patience and presence from his Australian Shepherd, the episode delves into the pressures and constructs of societal timelines and the importance of defining personal success. Through compelling storytelling, Baylor encourages listeners to reconsider the habitual race to the next milestone and focus instead on savoring the present moment. Baylor argues that modern society often pressures individuals to meet arbitrary success benchmarks, leading to feelings of inadequacy when these aren't achieved. With keywords like "personal fulfillment," "social pressure," and "defining success," he emphasizes the need to ignore societal pressures and embrace one's own definition of success. By citing personal anecdotes and expert opinions, Baylor inspires listeners to break away from toxic influences and enjoy the journey of life at their own speed. This episode not only challenges conventional success paradigms but also provides actionable insights for finding happiness and contentment in everyday life. Key Takeaways: Embrace the present moment and resist societal pressure to chase future milestones. Define your own success by determining what truly brings you peace and happiness. Avoid comparisons with others as they can lead to feelings of inadequacy and failure. Break away from toxic influences that lead you off your desired life path. Understand the importance of pacing yourself based on your own goals and values. Notable Quotes: "We have these fictitious timelines of all the things that we need to happen in our life by a certain date." "What if instead of just hurrying on to the next thing, we just worked on being where we're at?" "The happiest people I've met are those that determine what success means to them." "You have to start breaking the chains of people trying to pull you where they want you to go." "Once you realize how many people don't care about how fast you're moving, life gets easier."

Many years ago, at the gates of the nursery that both Ruth and Tim attended, we enjoyed many precious moments of fellowship with a special group of parents. (We are still in touch with them all!) Amongst them was Sue Harris, who I was delighted to invite to record this poem-prayer that celebrates the "sacrament of the present moment": a lovely concept which Jean Pierre Caussade coined as a phrase three hundred years ago. Sue loves the Lord Jesus dearly, and we have paired her heart-felt recording with the music of one of Bach's most beautiful Andantes, which Fontane Liang and Julia Herzog played for us on the harp and recorder. The music feels somewhat delicate and slightly fragile, like a bluebell just lifting its head, and inspires us to dwell on the tenderness of the Lord's moment-by-moment love for us – and to remind ourselves that no lack of faithfulness on our part, or 'road block' that we face along life's way can ultimately keep us from His unconditional love, if we will but resolve to reach out to Him. May this be a piece to which you often find yourself returning, and find in it fresh succour and sweetness in the Lord. It is beautiful.

Last time, we talked about how we've become tired and wired, constantly "on" with too many mental tabs open. Today, we're diving deeper into the critical question: why does losing our brain's on-off switch matter so much? The answer is simple: it's costing us – in our potential, our satisfaction, and our ability to truly rest.First, we'll explore how the inability to focus hinders our potential. Imagine trying to hit a game-winning shot while distracted by a dozen other things. We've lost the crucial art of dropping everything else to focus on one thing, whether it's a critical work project, quality time with our kids, or even navigating the road safely. When you can't be present, you can't truly excel.Next, we reveal how this constant "on" state sabotages our satisfaction. The male brain, in particular, thrives on making steady progress towards a goal. But when our minds are constantly bombarded by distractions – akin to someone trying to sell you dessert during an intense football practice – we lose the profound satisfaction that comes from focused effort and achievement. This constant mental chatter prevents us from savoring our accomplishments and enjoying the journey.Finally, we'll uncover how losing our on-off switch ruins our rest. We were designed for a natural rhythm of work and rest, reflected in days, weeks, and even seasons. However, modern life has eroded these vital barriers. Our homes have become extensions of our workplaces, and our minds struggle to unplug, leading to a lingering voice of doubt that hinders true mental relaxation. When all parts of life are blended together, nothing has its own distinct time and place, leaving us with a "blended" and often unsatisfying experience.Join us at ThrivingMan.com, where we're dedicated to helping you conquer everyday chaos and build a life you can be proud of. In our next episode, we'll uncover why we find ourselves in this perpetual "on" state and explore the ongoing war on our attention and peace.On-Off Switch, Brain Health, Focus, Attention, Distraction, Productivity, Potential, Satisfaction, Rest, Work-Life Balance, Mental Fatigue, Burnout, Digital Overload, Information Overload, Mental Chatter, Present Moment, Deep Work, ThrivingMan, Men's Health, Personal Development, Self-Improvement, Conquer Chaos, Build a Thriving Life, Cognitive Function, Mental Clarity, Quality of Life, Boundaries, Digital Boundaries, Stress Management, Unplugging, Mental Rest, True Rest, Constant Connection, Mind Management.

This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with Gary Waldron, an author and speaker who has truly mastered the art of reinvention. With a fascinating career trajectory that spans 44 jobs, including being a school teacher, consultant, and even a topless waiter, Gary shares his profound insights on adapting to change and the necessity of reinvention in today’s volatile world. We had violent agreement on so many topics that it's like Gary is 'a brother from another mother'. We explored topics surrounding his book, "Mastering the Art of Reinvention," and delved into the mindset shifts required to view life’s challenges as growth opportunities. Gary also discusses how to harness AI's power effectively in one’s career for those looking to reinvent themselves, allowing for growth without traditional boundaries. What You'll Learn: The Concept of Reinvention: Understand why reinvention is not solely the end goal but a continual process of adapting to new opportunities. The Role of Genetics in Change: Discover the link between the dopamine receptor gene and novelty-seeking behaviour, explaining why some are more inclined to embrace change. Understanding and Leveraging AI: Learn how AI can propel personal and professional growth by providing democratised access to information and creative exploration. Coping with Life Changes: Gain insights into handling significant life transitions, such as career shifts or personal upheavals, through Gary's personal experiences. Creating a Growth Mindset: Develop a mindset that views challenges as experiments, encouraging proactive action rather than fear-induced paralysis. Key Takeaways: Embrace Change: Accept that change is constant and inevitable; the more you practice adaptation, the easier it becomes. Mindset Matters: How you perceive challenges—as either threats or opportunities—significantly influences your ability to navigate them. Quality Prompts Make a Difference: In the age of AI, the quality of the questions you ask can dictate the usefulness of the solutions you receive. Authenticity and Values: Aligning your actions with your core values such as authenticity can guide you successfully through transformations. Living Fully in the Present: While planning for the future is crucial, excessive focus on it or dwelling in the past can detract from present contentment.

It's so easy to get caught up in our thoughts and miss the present moment. The process of thinking is of course part of our present moment experience, but today, we're going to open ourselves up to our whole experience.And if you're enjoying these weekly mindful moments, you should really check out my weekly mindfulness group, Mindful Creators. I guide two mindfulness practices for the group, and then email out the recordings of those practices if you can't make it live. And it's all free! Truly a great deal if you want to experience more mindfulness in your life.Audio TranscriptionWelcome to your mindful moment.Go ahead and settle your body somewhere comfortable.Start to tune into your breath and just notice what it's doing right now in this moment.Feeling the delicious inhales as they come.Feeling the relieving exhales as those happen.Just mindfully noticing the experience of the breath, however it exists in this present moment.And now bringing mindful awareness to your body and the experience of your body in this moment.And if you notice any areas of tension or dis-ease, go ahead and lovingly send your breath to those areas with the intention of allowing those areas to further release and relax.And as you continue to breathe and experience your breath and experience your continually relaxing body, see what's present in your mind today.Is your mind very active, full of thoughts? That's okay, and for now, you can choose to gently release those thoughts.Let go of your awareness and focus intently on those thoughts. Let go of that.And choose to bring your awareness and your focus fully to your breath and your experience of the present moment.And truthfully, any activity in your mind is just part of your present moment experience.But I think we tend to hold so much focus and awareness on our thoughts that we lose out on the rest of our present moment experience.And so for now, let's just practice letting that mind stuff be with us, be a part of our experience, but not our whole experience.Your breath is part of your present moment experience.Your body is part of your present moment experience.So just lovingly observe your present moment experience.I'm going to bring this mindful moment to a close, but feel free to remain in mindful meditation, focusing on your breath, enjoying your experience, observing your experience for as long as you like.Have a great day.I'm Amy Schloerb, The Aligned Actor

Awakening Through the Present Moment: Reflections on Eckhart Tolle, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and Sally KemptonIn this episode we reflect on three foundational spiritual books—The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, Meditation for the Love of It by Sally Kempton, and Full Catastrophe Living by Jon Kabat-Zinn. These works have played a significant role in shaping contemporary approaches to mindfulness, meditation, and spiritual awakening.We explore how each book met us at different points on the path and how their teachings continue to inform a life of presence and inner clarity. With a focus on daily practice, self-inquiry, and emotional resilience, this conversation offers insight into how spiritual texts can become living guides over time.Intended as a resource for those seeking practical tools for personal growth and spiritual evolution, this episode invites listeners to return to the present moment—not as an idea, but as an ongoing experience.

Today's episode is your divine invitation back to the only place your transformation can truly begin: the present moment. If you've been feeling disconnected, waiting for something to click, or wondering how to speed up your manifestations — this conversation is the reset your soul has been craving. Inside this sacred transmission, Talia Joy guides you into a deeper understanding of what it means to be fully present—not just conceptually, but embodied, activated, and open to receiving everything that is already here for you. This is more than a reminder. This is a spiritual key. And when you integrate it, your path becomes clearer, your nervous system calms, and your manifestations begin to accelerate with ease. In this episode, we talk about... ✨ Why the present moment is the only portal to the Divine, intuition, and manifestation ✨ How the quantum field responds to your energy in the now (not the future) ✨ The spiritual assignment behind every desire: can you find it within before it arrives? ✨ A powerful nervous system reframe that brings you into calm and groundedness ✨ How presence magnetizes abundance, health, love, and peace—without chasing ✨ A gentle five senses practice to help you anchor into the now and regulate your energy

One of the most thrilling things about doing a podcast is the fact that it is like a blank canvas — it can be anything I or you want. That's why on today's episode, I include something slightly different: an exercise that helps me level up my day and calm my nervous system down.Let's also talk about "hell yes" decision-making and why sometimes we can get confused and talk ourselves into or out of something that initially felt like a clear and calm decision.Connect with me:Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/annamaluskitzmann/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sing up for a The Healer Is In You newsletter:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://gem.godaddy.com/signups/3e4d761650fb4eccb0bd1b27391b397b/join⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Energy Healing session with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/thiiy/pranic_healing_session?month=2023-09 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Breathwork session with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/thiiy/breathwork-session-1?month=2023-09⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support small sustainable business:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodgoodsstore.co/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This podcast is intended to inspire, and support you on your journey towards inner peace, healing and growth.

#358 In this episode, Guy interviewed Adam Butler about his transformative journey with dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and other psychedelics. Adam shared his story of hitting rock bottom, battling alcoholism, and experiencing an awakening that transformed his life. They discussed the misconceptions about happiness being tied to external factors and how psychedelics helped Adam explore and confront his inner demons. Adam explained the unique aspects of DMT, its profound impact on mental health, and how it's different from other psychedelics. He also talked about his book, which serves as a guide to understanding and using DMT for personal growth and healing. The conversation delves into the broader implications of psychedelics for consciousness, mental health, and spiritual awakening, emphasizing the power of self-exploration and inner work. About Adam: Adam Butler is a psychedelic philosopher and passionate DMT psychonaut focusing on mental health, neuroplasticity, self-exploration, and the extreme limits of human potential and ability. Combining an academically trained intellect, empathetic heart, and life-hardening experiences, Adam has found his niche in helping others overcome the fear associated with PTSD, depression, sexual repression, and addiction. By incorporating psychedelic compounds with deep meditation, lucid dreaming, and tantric practices he has changed from being an over worked, over-weight, stressed-out alcoholic asshole into a balanced, healthy, and sober friend and mentor to many.

I have to do what feels right.” “There's magic and transformation when you bring like-minded, passionate people together.” “When you try to appeal to everybody, you actually end up appealing to nobody.” “All those no's I got—some people say rejected—I just say redirected. I always thought, ‘Well, that's okay, that's one more no to get me closer to that yes.'” “What's meant for us will always come to us.” “Why would I get a job making minimum wage like my friends, when I can literally make $600 in a day doing my own business?” “Create a life that you don't want to escape from.” “No is actually one of the best things you can hear—and that is counterintuitive. The more no's you get, the closer you get to the right yeses—the people you need to be investing in and spending time with. What you don't want is that kind of half-hearted ‘Yeah, okay' from someone, and you end up investing a lot of time, and it ends up being a waste for you.” “Being resilient is definitely not bouncing back. It's choosing to move forward with courage so you can have a life filled with laughter and love and joy. And it's getting up again and being unstoppable.” “When you shift your mindset with gratitude, it is alchemy. It really gets you focused on what you can do instead of what you can't do. And it allows you to be in acceptance of where you are, who you are, and where you are on your journey.” “Grit when you're working hard is good, but grit without connection is resistance. It's clawing your way to the top. It's hitting roadblocks, or it's burnout. But grit with connection—that's where we really find resilience.” “When you have a why, you can get through any how.” “I focused on the fact that they said I had a chance. There's a 1% chance to save my leg. And so that's what I'm going to focus on.” “A good leader is a good listener. They have compassion. They're willing to share their struggles. They're willing to walk alongside their team.” BOOKS MENTIONED: The One Truth: Elevate Your Mind, Unlock Your Power, Heal Your Soul by Jon Gordon (https://a.co/d/5twkXz7) The Happy Hustle Version 2.0 by Cary Jack (https://a.co/d/3wgkRcw) The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Don Miguel Ruiz & Janet Mills (https://a.co/d/3fk3uHM) USEFUL RESOURCES: https://amberlylago.com/ https://amberlylago.com/podcast/ https://www.instagram.com/amberlylagomotivation https://www.linkedin.com/in/amberlylago/ https://www.facebook.com/amberly.lago/ https://x.com/AmberlyLago https://www.youtube.com/@AmberlyLagoMotivation The Pace of Pain - TEDxBerkeley (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3gEfdAcO_8) True Grit and Grace: Turning Tragedy into Triumph (https://a.co/d/gKdsjVp) Joy Through the Journey: Shift Your Mindset, Embrace the Present Moment, and Cultivate Resilience Through Life's Ups and Downs (https://a.co/d/gOiq4Sj) CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://iamjohnhulen.com    Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen    Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen    X - https://x.com/johnhulen    LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen    YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA    EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

You don't need to scale a mountain or surf a 100-foot wave to hit your peak. In fact, unlocking your full potential might be a lot simpler, and a lot more boring, than you think. In this episode, I unpack the science behind “flow,” that elusive state where time vanishes, focus sharpens, and we perform at our absolute best. Inspired by the work of author and journalist Steven Kotler, I dive into how elite athletes, creatives, and everyday people are using flow to redefine what's possible.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room). And/or…Unlock practical and tactical insights on how to master your mindset and optimize your happiness directly to your inbox.If you're a glutton for punishment and want more swift kicks in the mind follow me on social:InstagramYouTubeLeave a review and tell me how I suck so I can stop doing that or you can also tell me about things you like.
