Between remote work, quiet hiring, quiet firing, forced back into office, gig work, A.I., automation, and so much more, the workforce is in a challenging position today. Workers are sandwiched between anxiety towards an unsure future and strict performance reviews saying ‘do better!' of the past. Sadly, what workers lack support in, is focusing on the present. Luckily, Tom Sterner is here to change that. Tom Sterner is the Founder and CEO of the Practicing Mind Institute, and author of books “The Practicing Mind: The Practicing Mind,” “It's Just a Thought: Emotional Freedom Through Deliberate Thinking,” and “Fully Engaged: Using the Practicing Mind in Daily Life.” Tom is a leading expert in the field of Present Moment Functioning and coaches some of the world's top business leaders, organizations, athletes, and performers in this technique he's dedicated the past few decades of his life studying. Rooted in millennia old philosophy and backed by decades of neuroscientific research, Tom's work in the field of Present Moment Functioning is critical for leaders to understand. At a time when the workforce is particularly vulnerable, leaders need to understand how to support their workers, in order to get them performing at their best. This is another podcast you're definitely not going to want to miss, so with that…let's bring it in!

Good people, In today's episode, I'm joined by the CEO and founder of The Practicing Mind Institute, author, podcaster, and mindset maven, Thomas Sterner. As a teenager, Thomas was very creative. Yet, he lacked discipline, so once the initial enthusiasm for starting something new dissipated, he would look for something else, leaving that initial project unfinished. It took him some time, but he realized he was reacting to behaviors installed in his subconscious mind.Thomas' truth was to realize he was the producer of his thoughts, not his thoughts. This revelation, rarely seen in teenagers, helped Thomas become an observer of his thoughts and gave him an advantage in his personal and professional life. Eventually, he became an expert in Present Moment Functioning, which allowed him to bring clarity to thousands of people, including CEOs, elite athletes, and high-performing individuals.Throughout our conversation, Thomas shares how his early awakening helped him become an observer of his thoughts and his experiences sharing this knowledge with teenagers and peers. You'll also hear about the heart and mind connection, how meditation can help you become aware of your thoughts, why Thomas believes we can find many answers in the quantum theory, and more.In This Episode, You Will Learn:A bit about Thomas' background and his truth (2:43)How Thomas' life changed when he became aware he and his thoughts are two separate things (6:08)Thomas talks about his inspiration for writing his books (9:13)"It's just a thought."

We will learn: Why we find it so much easier to focus on some thing we consider play rather than something we consider work.  Why it doesn't work when we try to enjoy something.  4 techniques he calls the “S Words” that help you to develop control over your practicing mind.  When was the last time you practiced something in order to get better at it?  If you're into sports or musical instruments you probably have a leg up on most adults, but even then, a lot of people just lean into the skills they already have rather than picking up new ones. The thing about practicing, or practicing well I should say, is that it's a total present moment activity. Our guest is Thomas M. Sterner. He is the founder and CEO of The Practicing Mind Institute. He is considered an expert in Present Moment Functioning or PMF.

The concept of process not product. What does that mean? In episode 2 of The Practicing Mind Podcast, I discuss how when you are "process oriented" your attention is absorbed in the experience of achieving your goal and its not attached to the moment that the goal is achieved.  I will also be discussing Present Moment Functioning the two reasons why it's difficult to practice Present Moment Functioning in our current society. Like any skill, if you repeat the correct mechanics, you master it and it becomes more your natural way of approaching any task.  One of the things that present moment function or PMF does for you is it gives you an escape from stress. So if you find yourself feeling stressed out often, be sure to listen to this full episode to learn how to give yourself permission to be right where you are in this moment. It will give you the feeling of being complete, of being productive and of being in control!

We really have a problem with something that is We have so much on our plate and so many things going that we want closure. We want the report done. We want the kids picked up. We want the house cleaned.Whatever it is we want it done because that way we can take it off our plate and we'll have one last thing we have to contend with. That's why something like meditation is difficult for people because they feel like “when will I get done with this, when am I good at it?” When you say “it's just something you do forever, that's a very difficult concept and it's an uncomfortable concept until you begin to see the benefits of it. When you begin to see the benefits of it and how it impacts your life and your self power, then that starts to dissolve and you start say “I get this. I want to participate in this forever because I want this ability to continue to expand – Tom SternerTom Sterner is the founder and CEO of the Practicing Mind Institute.
