Podcasts about spending

How much time do you spend out in nature?When I started spending more time in nature, I noticed a huge improvement in how I felt and now it's something that I prioritize all year round. For me, it usually looks like taking my dog for a walk around the neighborhood or at the park, but for you it might look like eating your lunch on the patio, spending time by the lake or the ocean, taking a quick walk on your lunch break, or something else entirely! Often we forget to reverse-engineer what we're doing when we feel great so that we can remember how to recreate it when we don't feel so good. Spending time in nature is one of those things for me, and I hope it will be for you too. In this episode of Weight Loss for Busy Physicians, I'm sharing the benefits of spending time in nature and some ideas to help get you outside even if it's tricky with your schedule. Topics covered in this episode include:The benefits of spending more time in nature How to find time to get outside Ways to spend more time in nature without going for a walk If you're looking for ways to boost your mood and feel better in your body, I think you'll find some inspiration in this episode.

Today's word of the day is ‘insurmountable' as in the Miami Heat took a 3-0 lead over the Boston Celtics last night as in the Denver Nuggets took a 3-0 lead over the Los Angeles Lakers.

The war in Ukraine is well into its second year, and the United States is insistent on pumping billions more into the quagmire that has already seen thousands of lives lost and millions displaced.The U.S. has already approved more than $113 billion in aid to Ukraine, most of which is weaponry. This year, President Biden has earmarked a record-breaking $842 billion on the military. Yet much of this is not even directed towards Europe but at China. Seemingly not content with turning Europe into a war zone, Washington now has its sights set on Asia. Joining MintCast hosts Mnar Adley and Alan MacLeod to discuss Washington's permanent drive to war is author and Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Chris Hedges. “[War with China] is a serious threat given the mindset of the warmongers who dominate the Washington establishment,” Hedges says before naming and shaming many of the most callous hawks in the nation. “They never go away; it doesn't matter how wrong they are. They were, of course, all cheerleaders for the war in Iraq. But they represent those interests, and they are creations of the Washington establishment. They don't actually know war or geopolitics,” he added.Hedges spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent across the world, including in Central America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. In 2002, he was part of a New York Times team that won a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of the global war on terror. After publicly denouncing the Iraq War, however, he was forced out of his job. Since then, he has worked in independent media. A prolific and best-selling author, his latest book, “The Greatest Evil is War” was published last year. You can find his work at ChrisHedges.substack.com/. America is “clearly on the decline,” Hedges told Adley and MacLeod, suggesting that:Anyone who drives through large swathes of the United States will tell you, it is one decayed city after another. All the mechanisms of repression that were tested largely on people of color (the way the Israelis do on Gaza) have migrated back to the homeland. Militarized drones, wholesale surveillance, militarized police, we have the largest prison system in the world; [the U.S. has almost] 25% of the world's prisoners even though we are less than 5% of the world's population. So we are dying the same way any empire dies.” Support the showMintPress News is a fiercely independent.

Hey, what's up, can't-believers and high performers! Welcome to another episode of the Can't Believe I Made It podcast. Today we're diving into our new Friday's Rituals for Resilience series. In this series, we'll spend 10 to 12 minutes exploring three powerful strategies to optimize your performance in various areas of life. In today's episode, we're uncovering the secret strategies used by high-level athletes and talented entrepreneurs. You know, success leaves clues, and there's a lot we can learn from those we admire. So let's jump right into it. First up, we'll discuss the importance of sleep hygiene. One strategy that stands out is sleep tracking, and one app I highly recommend is Sleep Cycle. This user-friendly app not only tracks your sleep stages but also provides valuable insights for improvement. I often have my clients take screenshots of their data and implement sleep tactics based on the app's recommendations. It's an absolute game-changer for optimizing physical, mental, and emotional performance. Next, we'll explore the power of gratitude practice. Practicing gratitude has been scientifically proven to enhance overall well-being. One tool I swear by is the Five-Minute Journal. It's a simple and effective way to engage in goal-setting and self-reflection, helping you cultivate a positive mindset and improve your self-esteem. The benefits extend to your emotional regulation and relationships with others. The Five-Minute Journal is an incredible tool that I highly recommend incorporating into your daily routine. Finally, we'll delve into the world of breathwork. Just like meditation apps such as Headspace, the Breathwork app offers guided tools and techniques to reduce stress and promote relaxation. With various classes and a la carte options, it caters to different needs and situations. The app teaches breathing techniques that increase oxygen levels and optimize CO2 levels, leading to improved cognitive functions, attentiveness, and decision-making abilities. Remember, you don't have to implement all three strategies at once. Start with the one that resonates with you the most and build from there. Spending just five to seven minutes on each practice can make a significant difference in your overall well-being and performance. These tools are designed for self-starters like you, empowering you to make positive changes and adapt to new circumstances. I hope you found these strategies valuable and actionable. Join me next time for another empowering episode.

New data from the American Gaming Association show that revenues for the legal gambling industry totaled almost $17 billion in just the first three months of the year. Plus, a major opioid crisis settlement between the city of San Francisco and Walgreens. The city’s attorney says it's the biggest award to a municipality in a case involving opioids. And, public spending on preschool has stagnated for two decades when you adjust for inflation, according to a new report. A big part of increasing public support for early education is finding more teachers.

Spending money to try new things and experience new places is priceless. But people won't do it. They get stuck on the number in their bank account, which causes them to miss out on a lot of life. While excessive or frivolous purchases can be regrettable, a lot of the time you will regret not spending money on stuff.

You've probably heard the buzz about intermittent fasting (IF). Maybe a friend has raved about their weight loss success, or you've read about celebrities who swear by it. I fell into an intermittent fasting 16/8 pattern myself, many years ago. But what is "Intermittent Fasting 16/8" really about? Is it just another diet fad, or is there real science to support it? Beyond weight loss, what other health benefits should you expect if you follow such a diet pattern? Are there some people who should not follow such a diet pattern? I'll address these questions and more in this Ultimate Guide to Intermittent Fasting 16/8. What is Intermittent Fasting 16/8? Intermittent fasting is not a diet, but a pattern of eating. It doesn't tell you what to eat, but when to eat. Sounds simple, right? It is, and that's part of its appeal. Fasting is as old as time. It's only been in recent history that we've had food readily available at all times of the day. Easy access to food is part of why we're so sick and overweight today and one of the reasons I'm so adamant that we should eat meals, not snacks. Intermittent fasting takes the concept of eating less often to another level by limiting the timeframe in which you can eat. Spending more of your 24-hour cycle in a day without food allows your metabolism to function better and tap into stored body fat more easily, making weight loss fairly simple for most people. The 16/8 method is one of the most popular ways to do intermittent fasting, and it's as straightforward as it sounds. You eat all your daily meals within an 8-hour window and then fast for the remaining 16 hours of the day. That's it. No complicated meal plans, no counting calories - just a simple shift in when you eat. The Science Behind Intermittent Fasting 16/8 Intermittent fasting (IF) is not about losing weight; it's about improving metabolic health. Or, you could say that intermittent fasting helps your body work the way it's supposed to because your eating pattern aligns better with the way your metabolism works best. The secondary benefit of a healthier metabolism is you'll more easily maintain your weight. This is an important principle to understand. You follow this pattern of eating to improve your health and metabolic function, which results in weight loss. That's different from just following a low-calorie diet to lose weight as the primary goal. It's also a lot better for your body. When you eat, your body breaks down the food with enzymes in your gut, which eventually ends up as molecules in your bloodstream. Carbohydrates, particularly sugars and refined grains, are quickly broken down into sugar, which our cells use for energy. Insulin, a hormone made in the pancreas, brings this sugar into the muscle and liver cells if there is room. When there isn't room, the sugar stays in your blood and wreaks havoc on your body. It also keeps insulin elevated, signaling your fat cells to store more fat and preventing them from releasing stored fat for energy. When you don't snack between meals, blood sugar drops, and your insulin levels go down, and your fat cells can release their stored fat to be used as energy. IF is based on this concept, allowing insulin levels to go down far enough and for long enough that you burn off excess fat​. During your fasting window, your body also benefits in other ways, which I'll explain next. Health Benefits of Intermittent Fasting 16/8 Remember, the 16/8 method of intermittent fasting (like all of my nutrition recommendations) is intended to improve your health first. That means that almost anyone can benefit, even if weight loss is not your goal. As you'll see, there are a lot of other health benefits, not to mention the mental benefits of thinking about making meals less often each day. Weight Loss and Body Fat Reduction: As I mentioned earlier, one of the reasons intermittent fasting has become so popular is that it usually results i...

Time is the universal uniter amongst everything in existence. It's our most precious resource and yet our most undervalued resource. Spending leisure time wisely is the hardest thing to do, Bruce Lee said that. How many times have you woken up planning to achieve and accomplish all these amazing things, only to find that you haven't got any time left in the day? If you're one of those people that says I just wish I had another day in the week or I wish the day was 25 hours long, then this episode is going to speak volumes to you. Did you ever notice that the biggest thing that people query when anyone achieves great things is “How do they have the time?” Time seems to evade some people, while others of us seem to have too much of it. There's a bizarre paradox that happens when we have too much time - all our tasks swell to fill the allotted time. The truth is you have all the time in the world. Lets talk about how to gain control of time instead of letting time control us. 

There is a difference between spending time and investing time. Spending time refers to activities that bring immediate results without any future time-saving benefit. On the other hand, investing time implies engaging in tasks that might not have an instantaneous effect but lay the foundation for future time savings. Striking the right balance between spending and investing time is the key to achieving productivity and preventing exhaustion. In this episode, I emphasize the importance of identifying whether your daily activities are centered around spending or investing time. I urge you to start by analyzing your day for both types of activities to ensure long-term productivity and maintain a sense of purpose.In this episode, you will be able to:1. Master the art of striking a balance between spending and investing time for enhanced productivity.2. Discover the secret to identifying time investment activities that will pay off in the long run.3. Learn how to maintain harmony in your life by dodging overwhelm and exhaustion.4. Uncover planning techniques designed for effective time management and organization.5. Realize the power of intentionality in daily time usage and the benefits it brings.Like what you heard here?

In today's episode, our guest is Eric Zimmer. He is a behavior coach, certified interfaith spiritual director, podcast host, and writer endlessly inspired by the quest for a greater understanding of how our minds work and how to create the lives we want to live intentionally. Eric has worked as a behavior coach for the past 20 years, coaching hundreds of people from around the world on how to make significant life changes and create habits that serve them well in achieving the goals they've set for themselves. He currently hosts the award-winning podcast, The One You Feed, based on an old parable about two wolves at battle within us.  [2:58] Why should I listen to you?  My expertise in everything I discuss, share, and teach comes from being in the trenches. I have personally coached and worked with over 500 individuals from various parts of the world. Additionally, I have interviewed over 500 intelligent individuals on these topics. I believe my knowledge and experience in these areas are based on these three key factors: my personal experience, my desire to assist others, and my constant pursuit of knowledge from the brightest minds in the field.  [3:50] Can you share a little bit of your background?  Although I grew up in a stable, middle-class suburban environment, there were still some gaps in my upbringing that influenced who I am today. However, I can't solely blame my circumstances for the choices I made. By the age of 24, I had hit rock bottom - I was a homeless heroin addict weighing only 100 pounds, with Hepatitis C and several felony charges looming over me. But despite all that, I was able to rebuild my life into something fulfilling and rewarding. The lessons I learned from my experiences can apply not only to those in similarly dire situations but to anyone struggling to live a life aligned with their values, cope with difficult thoughts and emotions, and manage their challenges. These are all universal struggles that we all face to varying degrees.  [5:35] What got you here?  It's difficult to pinpoint one specific cause for addiction or mental health issues. There are often multiple factors at play, and it can be a combination of genetics, environment, upbringing, and personal choices. In my case, I had parents who were struggling with their mental health issues, and I was a sensitive child who turned to stealing, drugs, and alcohol as a way to cope with my emotions. But ultimately, I believe that it's important to focus on the present moment and how to move forward, rather than getting stuck in the past and trying to assign blame or find a single cause for our struggles. [17:10] How did you approach moments that feel like you don't know what you're doing?  It's interesting because there are both catalyst moments and thousands of small decisions that follow. For instance, deciding to become an NFL player may be a catalyst moment, but it's the countless grueling workouts and dedication that follow that ultimately lead to success. Recovery and sobriety are similar in this way. There may be epiphany moments where you realize you need help, but it's the ongoing commitment to making the right decisions that lead to long-term recovery. In my own experience, the catalytic moment was when I realized I needed long-term treatment while living in the back of a van. From there, it was a series of small decisions like going to meetings, working with a sponsor, and going to the gym that led to true hope and belief that I could change. Consequences are important, but they're not enough. We need both a true desire to change and a belief that change is possible to achieve long-term recovery. [22:14] What are some of the lessons that you learned during these moments? Living according to our values sounds great, but it's difficult to do and often leads to an unpleasant reflection. In my coaching programs, we do a deep dive into values, which can be challenging for people as it brings them face-to-face with areas they're falling short in. However, I believe it's helpful to reframe this by recognizing that we'll always veer off course, just like a plane constantly needs to refocus on its destination. Life is full of demands and distractions, so it's natural to get off track. The key is to minimize emotional drama and get back on course as soon as we realize we're off. By doing this more often without beating ourselves up, we'll be more willing to course-correct. On the other hand, if we spiral into self-criticism every time we slip up, we're less likely to get back on track. I always remind my coaching clients that getting off track is inevitable, but the important skill is learning to get back on track quickly.  [25:47] What are some of the behaviors people may not be doing and are not aware of the dire consequences?  In my experience coaching many people, I've noticed that certain behaviors can be problematic in the long run, even if the individual is not aware of their negative impact. However, it's important to note that what may be problematic for one person might not be an issue for another, depending on their values and circumstances. For instance, if someone has children and spends several hours a day playing video games, it could be problematic as it takes away from quality time with their kids. On the other hand, if someone is a bachelor and enjoys playing video games, it may not be an issue. One behavior that tends to have long-term effects is diet, which can have compounding consequences for better or worse. [30:36) What are some of the behaviors you put into place that helped you?  I have struggled with depression for much of my adult life, which may or may not be linked to my addiction. Therefore, I prioritize my physical and mental health, including exercise, healthy eating, and sufficient sleep. While these behaviors are important for long-term health, they are crucial for my emotional and mental well-being in the present moment. Recognizing that these health practices make me happier and more fulfilled was a significant shift for me. Another crucial behavior is meditation, as I find contemplative practices and time spent in silence to be valuable. Additionally, I frequently ask myself if my actions align with my values and goals, as it is easy to fall into autopilot and live a life that doesn't reflect who we want to be. By reflecting on what matters to me and regularly adjusting my behavior accordingly, I am more likely to live a fulfilling life aligned with my values.  [37:00] Sometimes, our journey is full of ups and downs like a roller coaster. What do you have to say about that?  I believe that accepting the uncertainty and doubt that comes with any creative endeavor or building a new business is essential. For instance, my current project is writing a book, and it's natural to experience self-doubt and uncertainty. However, what has helped me is learning from other successful authors by having them on my show and hearing about their struggles. Even the most accomplished individuals go through similar challenges, but they have learned to manage and navigate them skillfully. Monitoring my progress and adjusting accordingly has been crucial in recognizing and handling any uncertainty that arises. Creating something new inherently involves fear and doubt, and these feelings are not a sign of inadequacy, but instead, they are part of the process. Building a new business is no different, and moments of uncertainty and doubt are common. It is essential to understand that these challenges are normal and not to let them discourage you. It's a misconception that successful individuals have it easy, but the reality is that everyone struggles with self-doubt and uncertainty at some point in their journey.  [41:45] Do you mind sharing with us what the parable in your podcast means?  My podcast always starts with a parable, the origins of which are unknown, but many of you may have heard it. It speaks of two wolves that reside within us - one representing kindness, bravery, and love, and the other representing greed, hatred, and fear. The question is, which wolf will win? The answer is the one that you feed. I love this parable because it's a reminder that we have a choice in our actions and that we all have both good and bad within us. It's natural to have doubts, fears, and uncertainties, but it's how we respond to them that matters. The first step to responding to our negative thoughts is recognizing them and understanding why we want to change. Awareness is key to any kind of change. We should not be attached to our thoughts, as they may not always be true or accurate. They are simply the result of various causes and conditions that have accumulated over time, along with chemical processes in our minds. Some thoughts are closer to reality than others, and we need to learn to work with them more skillfully and smartly. Studies show that about 85% of our thoughts are negative and 95% of them are repetitive. It's important to take inventory of our thoughts and analyze them so that they don't run rampant. [47:45] What promise did God make to the world when he created you?  There is hope.  Key Quotes [32:40-32:44] Spending some amount of time in silence and reflection on things is valuable.  [40:48-40:51] Little by little, a little becomes a lot.  How to connect with Eric Zimmer  Instagram: https://instagram.com/one_you_feed   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1ufeed Twitter: https://twitter.com/oneyoufeed

When you are creating stories, create stories that work for you. Many times our stories have been reinforced externally and have come as a part of our conditioning. Understand where you pull those narratives from so you can separate those narratives from the story you want to carry forward. Intersectionality is a term coined by Dr. Kimberle' Crenshaw. "Intersectionality is a lens through which we can see where power comes and collides, where it locks and intersects. It's the acknowledgment that everyone has their own unique experiences of discrimination and of privilege." Feeling guilt about the privilege you have isn't helpful, so there is an invitation to leverage your privilege to create changes. When thinking about changing the status quo, it can be helpful to think of moving slowly. Thinking about plants. If you have a dried out plant, when you water it, the water comes out because the plant isn't able to take it all in. But if you move slowly, pouring little bits of water in at a time, the plant can absorb it. This idea can be applied to our work in diversity, equity, and inclusion as well. The reckoning of our time isn't a switch, it's tiny actions toward the creation of something new. That's the wisdom of trying to create solutions from a place of understanding. Your ability to create a space of belonging (or co-create) for others is dependent on your ability to create that space within yourself. That can mean that generative practices, energy work, gratitude moments or whatever it looks like for you to look within and generate self-love and self-acceptance are of critical importance as you begin the work of creating spaces for others. As you come into balance with yourself, your space will be more balanced. Values are verbs or phrases in action. Shared by all and followed by all is critical for the success of being values-driven. It doesn't matter what the value is, when it's ultra-clear it's like rocket fuel for you. When you live with integrity to what you value, everything goes smoother. Spending time determining what you value can be very supportive, especially when you ask yourself "why" you value what you do. Many times the symptoms of "this isn't working" is an indication there is a misalignment between the action and the value. Assimilation mode is when someone tries to embody the dominant culture's ideals, customs, and traditions to try to mitigate discrimination as much as they can to be accepted. Code-switching is changing the way you speak, dress or appear in order to be more accepted, and it can be exhausting.

For six years Ashley and I coordinated the meeting of a group of young men who met weekly during the school year.  Some weeks there were four, and others there were sixteen.  All between 15 and 18 years of age and all at different stages of maturity.   We walked these young men through a variety of discussions, situations, and scenarios and even adapted a five stage growth pyramid for each to understand where they were at in their level of maturity.   For these young men we relayed the identification of those stages as  Boy Adolescent Man Mentor Patriarch Upon introduction many of the young men in our group presumed that age was the entry point to each stage.  Turn 13 and you become an adolescent.  Turn 18 and you become a man. One astute young man asked a resonating question around our communal fire pit, “at what age do you become a mentor?” It was akin to asking, “at what year do you become an expert in your field?” In 1964 US Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart was providing an opinion on the use of obscenity in the public square  in the State of Ohio's  case vs. Jacobellis who had been reprimanded for showing what was considered by some to be an obscene movie.   Justice Stewart explains, “I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography"], and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it…” We will certainly do our best to layout helpful marks of maturity within a civil society, and yet maturity can be validated in part under the mantra of “I know it when I see it.” My response to the young man asking at what age you scale the stages of manhood?  I asked, “have you ever seen a 19 year old boy walking around in a 54 year old body?” He understood a primary principle of maturity: Maturity equals maturity. Age equals age. You can have age without maturity. You can have some maturity without age. You cannot have full maturity without the combination of age and wisdom. Wisdom is a cocktail of time, understanding, trial, error, learning, teaching, consideration and circumspect, humility, confidence, and curiosity. Wisdom gone right is shrewd and helpful. Wisdom corrupted is deception and gaslighting. The secret to wisdom is this…GO PURSUE WISDOM! How do we know what to pursue, or what a wise person, a mature person even looks like? Here are NINE marks of maturation that we can pursue ourselves and begin looking for in others.  These marks do not prove full maturity, but simply a pursuit of maturity at some particular mile marker on the highway.   First, a maturing person is someone who has written and defined principles (mission, values) for their life. We all like to think that writing things down and defining “purpose” in our lives is good for the self-help section at Barnes and Noble, but in real life we can never find time for that. The maturing person makes time to articulate the things that drive them and the things they value.  Our family has a drive to create space and be a light through adventure, wisdom, and time around the table. One of the more sacred spots in our day to day is any table we find ourselves at together whether it be our dinner table in Bluffton, a bleacher seat in Winston-Salem, a tray table in row 31 seat C, D, and E somewhere over the Atlantic, or a restaurant table in Cinque Terre.  The table is an indicator for us to limit distractions, share peaks and pits, discuss a wide range of recent events and future plans, and to play 3 rounds of a twitchy card game. It's written, we talk about it, and it has become a habit at this point. If you don't write them down, they do not exist.  Second, the maturing person invests a bulk of time into a recurring “thing” (Reps):  Distraction has become chaos' tool of choice in our modern battle to fight.  Desire is rarely the enemy that keeps us from progressing to expert status.  We have a desire to fly planes, learn a language, love yoga, travel to Siberia, or hike the Cascades.   Distraction then hijacks desire in mid-flight rendering us aloof and frustrated not being able to achieve that thing we know would satisfy and re-energize.   While at the Chick Fil A mothership in Peachtree City, GA we heard a recurring idiom that for a while felt like classic corporate goofiness and then over time was sobered up to a well trained conviction; “Full Time…Best Effort”.   It's one thing to “be at work” all day vs. “working all day”.   While we are at work all day, distraction begins hovering like sand gnats on a warm May afternoon at a southern coastal ball field.  It nips, bites, frustrates, until we either leave, or take measures to battle against.   Three hours at work is not the same as working for three straight hours.  One gives the allusion of maturity.  The other implements boundaries which lead to maturity and exponential value to you and the people you impact. When you mature to give your full time…best effort, choosing not to work in a short series of fits and starts, you are setting the stage for a mass accrual of reps in a given task or skillset providing you a valuable path to expertise and value. Immaturity always welcomes distraction.   The third mark of a maturing person reveals a sober judgment and intuition spending time looking at a “thing” from multiple angles.   For most of my life I didn't “get” art.  People would sit and look, observe, think, contemplate, review, change angles and keep looking. “What are they looking at?”, I would think with disdain and arrogance. Perspective is a hallmark in appreciating great art.  Today I would accept an invitation into just about any display of artistic creation.  One of my favorite art displays is the small, dark Museo Leonardo Da Vinci.  A two minute walk from the infamous Duomo in Florence is a unique museum displaying recreations of da Vinci's drawings.   Da Vinci was a prolific illustrator drawing fine details of human anatomy, mechanical machinery, and novel tools.  Many of these drawings were never manufactured into tangible instruments.  The da Vinci museum displays actual (in some cases life size) creations of da Vinci's drawings like a tank, a flying machine and others.  These tools in essence jump off the page into real life and the museum gives you a unique opportunity to look at aa Vinci's mind and work from multiple angles and perspectives.  What might have seemed hideous or impractical on paper is now meaningful and unique when built in real life.   Maturity is making the time to walk around and see the various angles of a thing not in hopes of proving your opinion, but instead to reformulate your convictions with great understanding.   The fourth mark of a maturing person is situational awareness; the ability to “read the room” knowing who is in the room, when to act and how to act. Walk down a terminal in most major airports and he will be nearby, the guy with the bluetooth headset talking as if Nine Inch Nails are playing a live set at the next gate down and he's got to make sure the person on the other end can hear everything he has to say. Your response, “READ THE ROOM”. Solitude is helpful, isolation less so.  We (yes, even introverts) live in a communal society with shared spaces.  It serves us well to read the room and respond in kind to the dynamics of that room.   If people are tired, frustrated, jet lagged, in a hurry, delayed, short-fused and in need of space and peace, probably best not to add volume to that chaos.  Read the room. If people are energized, fired up, ready to storm the hill and score the winning touchdown, probably best not to reveal your inner Eeyore.  Read the room. There is a time and place for everything and the maturing person is willing to reveal their “true self” in moments where their true self will be invited and welcomed.   Read the room. A hallmark of situational awareness is the ALL important SELF-awareness.  Spending time discovering the inner workings of yourself will open up a world of insight and aha's as to why you are the way you are, do the things you do, and act the way you act. Maturity in self-awareness never uses what you have discovered as a crutch to excuse preference.  “Well, I'm an ‘S' on the DISC so you shouldn't ask me to do that.”  Or, “I have no Tenacity on the Working Genius so you can't expect me to have that done so quickly.” Profiles and enneagram numbers are helpful; these are third party tools that give us objective insight into the intangible parts of our personality.  As you learn, the mature person asks, “what are the things that I naturally love to contribute, and what are the things that I need to be aware that I am not as prone to so I can push through those areas when needed?” Maturing people realize that Jim Rohn was right, “you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”  In fact, you are likely the average of the five books you read, the five foods you eat, the five songs you listen to, and the five things you spend your money on. A new rhetorical question that we are going to begin adding to our hiring process is this, “if I asked you to setup a dinner with the five people you spend the most time with, would you be excited for me to meet with them?” Life and business necessarily intersect.  Who you are out there, is who you will be in here.   Run with chaos out there, and you will want to burn the building down here.  Run with wisdom out there, and you will want to build up the culture in here.   Who are the five people you spend the most time with?  Would I enjoy dinner with them? The sixth element of a maturing person is they feel compelled by gratitude to reinvest the wisdom they have received into others.  This reinvestment is less about waiting until you have hit a threshold of wisdom to start giving that wisdom away, and more about immediately teaching the wisdom you have to the people you interact with immediately. Did you learn something today?  Use it today and teach it today. Seneca, the Roman Philosopher said, “while we teach, we learn”.   Benjamin Franklin said, “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” In just a few minutes, I will involve you in an exercise that will help teach the things I'm learning so that we can all grow and perpetuate the wisdom to our co-workers, partners, families, and friends.   The maturing person is always teaching out of the gratitude they have for being taught.  The seventh mark of a maturing person are the stress-tests they've endured.   Our family loves to hike, to walk along trails in the woods with no distractions and to simply look around and take it all in…to see what is out there and allow our minds to voyage into peaceful places.   My son has a bazaar tradition when we are hiking in the woods, if he sees a tree he thinks is dead or dying he will work to “truck the tree”.  He'll give it a few pushes casually to see if the tree is vulnerable and off balance; to see if it has some “give”. After a few pushes he then makes a highly scientific judgment call to determine that tree's “truckability”.  Can he make that tree fall if he were to deliver a linebacker like form tackle to its trunk?  Mis-judge the tree and the tree wins whilst you get an Uber ride to the Orthopaedics office.  Judge correctly and you feel like a dominant predator of the woods knocking down trees with your bare shoulders.   The maturing person has been pushed, pressed, and had tested through a variety of trials and tests both personally and professionally.  It is unreasonable and naive to think that you will live life on Lake Placid, where your waters will always be smooth and your skies will always be blue. That testing is a gift because it breeds and develops endurance.  Endurance then works itself into hope, into a light at the end of a tunnel that is opportunity, life, conviction, belief, and satisfaction.  It is said that having hope will never disappoint.   The maturing person will be aware of their response when they are rejected, or when they win. Notice the maturing person may or may not respond perfectly to rejection or to winning, but they are aware of their response and the impact that response has on themselves and on others around them. Rejection is fertile ground for shame.  Brene Brown has been studying shame for decades and describes shame as an “intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging.” Each of us has unique shame triggers, events that happen that open the door for that intensely painful feeling because our flaws have been revealed. You could have just received a stern response, a cross glance, a critique on your work, a roll of the eyes in response to your contribution, or a harsh pushback from a client.   Maybe your Dad only calls when he needs something or your Mom still treats you like you were 8 years old. Maturity is not never feeling rejection.  Maturity is being aware of how you feel when you are rejected and then intentionally using emotional tools to grow from that rejection instead of self-medicating with rage, anger, return shame, substances, or loneliness.  Victory and winning are equally as important.  When you win, how do you win?  Maturity will always lead with humility, joy, satisfaction, and gratitude.  Maturity will never thrive in an environment of arrogance, stand alone pride, gaslighting, and trash talking. Humility is the currency of the wise.  On par with self-awareness, Shakespeare “A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.” We are told it is the “foolish things of the world that are used to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world to shame the strong.” A ninth mark of a maturing person is how they respond to authority, to coaching, and to the less fortunate. The coaches you remember are the coaches that were hard, the ones who demanded more, and who were convinced that you had more to give. Dr. David Crutchley was a professor of mine in graduate school.  I studied more for his classes than I did anyone else's in the history of my education.  I never scored above a B minus on any exam or paper I turned into him. Frustrated I tried to reason with him as to why I earned higher grades.  His response echoed, “I would rather you get a C in my class and walk away having truly learned, than for you to ace my class and to learn nothing.” A life of 5.0's and 10 out of 10's on everything is a life that is ultimately not helpful towards resilience.   Karen Arnold, a researcher who followed 81 High School Valedictorians came to an eye-opening conclusion: “Even though most (valedictorians) are strong occupational achievers, the great majority of former high school valedictorians do not appear headed for the very top of adult achievement arenas….Valedictorians aren't likely to be the future's visionaries . . . they typically settle into the system instead of shaking it up.” This is not license to not work hard, to not grow in diligence, and to not give great effort.  This is motivation to seek and appreciate hard coaching, serious feedback, and honest insight.   Remember, the launching point into a life of wisdom is to simply GO LOOKING FOR IT.  If you find someone willing to do the hard, emotionally taxing work of giving you honest feedback, GO SIT WITH THEM and go get wisdom.   Wisdom will be the road sign to maturity.  

One of the pesukim in this week's parasha, Emor, gives us the commandment to give certain gifts to the poor from our land. Rashi brings from Chazal that the Torah gives this commandment right in the middle of discussing all the holidays to teach us, whoever gives these gifts to the poor will be considered as if he built the Beit HaMikdash and brought korbanot in it. Throughout the generation for nearly 2000 years, all of the tzaddikei hador have been yearning for the Beit HaMikdash, and here, when a Jew gives portions of his crops to the poor, Hashem considers it like he built it and served Him in it. This is how valuable helping the poor is. In general, the rule is the harder something is to do, the more value it has. And so, giving charity the right way must not be that easy and could always use chizuk. The Gemara says towards the end of Masechet Sotah that after the Beit HaMikdash was destroyed, פסקו אנשי אמנה - the Jewish People lost what it means to be a person with emunah. Rashi writes, this refers to people who have no worry whatsoever that they are losing when they do good deeds. Rashi later explains further that these are people who are willing to spend their money on whatever it takes to do mitzvot the most beautiful way or to give tzedaka or to spend on Shabbat and Yom Tov, relying on the fact that they have Hashem to take care of them, and He has unlimited funds. There is something unique about these three things that Rashi mentions. The Gemana in Masechet Baba Kama says, a major portion of the money that we spend on beautifying the mitzvot does not come out of the money that Hashem allotted for us, but rather He pays for it. The Gemara in Masechet Shabbat says the money we spend on Shabbat and Yom Tov as well does not come out of our accounts. Anything we spend on them, Hashem reimburses us for. The Gemara says giving tzedaka is a segula to preserve one's money and always have what one needs. We still have people today with emunah, but what the Gemara means is that we lost the people with complete emunah, that is, people who can go to the grocery store and shop for Shabbat and feel like they have the company credit card and the boss happily told them to charge whatever they want to his account. And the same when beautifying mitzvot and giving tzedaka, not feeling at all that they are actually spending or giving up anything for them. The more a person develops this emunah, the easier time he will have parting with his money to do the will of Hashem. The Mashgiach of the Kaminetz Yeshiva Rav Moshe Aharon Stern, zatzal , used to rebuke the young rabbinical students in his yeshiva who had very little income. They used to go to their parents house's on Shabbat for the meals so they could save their money to buy food during the week. He used to tell them, this is what the Gemara means when it says פסקו אנשי אמנה . It used to be that people would buy their food all week long for Shabbat in order to include it in the free gift from Hashem, then they would eat from the leftovers all week long for their weekday meals. Cooking in abundance for Shabbat is also kavod Shabbat, and therefore is also included in Hashem's guarantee. The Imrei Emet said this was the intention of Shamai who used to buy food lichvod Shabbat all week long, starting from Sunday. Since all the purchases were made for Shabbat, they were made on Hashem's account. And the Rabbi concluded regarding his student, now the opposite is being done, they were saving their money to buy food for the week and not spending anything for Shabbat. Parting with money is not easy, especially when a person works hard to earn it. This is why giving tzedaka and spending on mitzvot is so valuable. We must always take to heart, the money is Hashem's and when we do with it what He wants He provides more. Our goal is not just to give tzedaka, or just to spend money on Shabbat and hidur mitzvah, it's to do it with joy, to feel that its Hashem's money that He gave us to spend on these things and we are doing exactly what He wants.
