Podcasts about tators

If you've been with me this week you've met the Tator family: the father, Dick Tator, his wife, Emmy Tator, their daughter Hessie, and their son, Aggie Tator. We can learn a lot from the Tator family. There's one more member of this unique family that I'd like you to get to know. It's Grandpa Spec Tator. Now, everybody loves Grandpa Spec; he's a comfortable, likeable person. But all his life he's been one of those people who watches what everyone else is doing, criticizes them when they make a mistake, comments freely on their performance, but never ever gets involved. Spec Tator is always on the sidelines, telling everybody else how it ought to be done, but never doing it. Someone has said the church today is much like a football game. The majority of the people are watching a small minority perform. And those watching desperately need exercise, while those performing desperately need rest. You know, there are an awful lot of people like Grandpa Spec Tator around today. They stay in the bleachers, yelling at everyone else, but never getting involved in the fight. The 80/20 factor is a well-known measure in the business world. We usually get 80% of our business from 20% of our customers and 80% of our problems from 20% of our customers. Unfortunately, so often the body of Christ has that same problem. So much of the work is done by so few. How wonderful it would be if the Spec Tators of the world would join in and pull their share of the weight. I've noticed the Spec Tators are the first to criticize, the first to find fault. A person who is involved in the performing and doing is much more understanding and tolerant than those who simply stand on the sidelines and watch. Well, they're quite a family, this Tator family: Dick, Emmy, Hessie, Aggie and Spec Tator. If you run into them somewhere along the way, perhaps you'll remember what I've said about them. Or maybe it'll cause you to ask yourself if any of these Tators has gotten into your family—into your life.

This week I'm introducing you—again—to the Tator family. If you've never met them before, you'll want to get to know them. Most of us can learn a lot from the Tators. Yesterday, we met the father of this family, Dick Tator. Today I'd like to introduce you to the mother of the Tator family, Emmy Tator. Now, Emmy is a nice lady, but to tell you the truth, she spends most of her time worrying about what other people think of her, trying to be like everyone else, trying to find acceptance by going along with the crowd. Have you ever met Emmy? Emmy Tator is sometimes obsessed and addicted to her need for people's approval. She is often unhappy with herself and appears to be very frustrated at times. That's because she's trying to please everyone else and be like everyone else. Now, I certainly wouldn't want Emmy to purposely set out to be different just for the sake of being different. But it's really important for her to realize there's no way in this world she'll ever please everybody. That's been a tough lesson for me to learn. I seem to think if I just try hard enough, surely everybody will like me and approve of me. But it never works. You truly cannot please all people. Emmy Tator needs to realize she is an original, created by God to be unique, and she doesn't need to pattern herself after others. Emmy needs to be reminded when she compares herself to others and tries to be like them, she is in effect saying God has made a mistake in the way he made her, and she could have done a better job than God in his design. Instead of accepting who she is in Christ, she keeps trying to be someone else. Poor Emmy Tator. That's a frustrating way to live.

We live in a society where social media is steering our subconscious. Driving us towards what we think we should be doing, and often that has nothing to do with what we want to be doing. Everyone on Instagram is playing at the beach because the thermometer has barely hit 65 (although it's only the beginning of March, and it should be snowing. You think, oh my god, I better get outside and enjoy this magnificent weather because, well, it may never come again. But in reality, you had a hectic week, you are exhausted, and you were looking forward to a fireplace and a book. So, turn up the air-conditioning, light a fire and get your darn book. Last I checked, you are in charge of your life. In this episode, I am going to shed some light on the art and glory of saying no. Why does this have anything to do with meditation, you ask? Well, thanks for asking because it has heaps to do with it. And the answer comes from deep inside the most incredible work of art, which is you. However, this beautiful place seems to get often smothered underneath perhaps: lack of confidence, a desire to please, a fear of being judged, a need to be appreciated, a "Fear of Missing Out" (FOMO).  By the end of this brief episode, you are going to want to run out the door and say no to everything that does not fit the blueprint of the life you want to create. And this my friend creates, JOMO. The "Joy of Missing Out." ___________________________________ Hey there, Alexa Z here, and thank you for saying yes to listening to this podcast when you easily could have said no. And since it was easy, I ask that that you quickly hit subscribe to this to keep me going. Then at that time, a podcast drops; you will know about it and can easily say yes or no to listening! It's all up to you. No guilt! How many times have you said yes to something and then lamented over why you said yes? So much so that you find yourself making up lies to get out of whatever you answered yes to and then living with the guilt of the lie. And 99% of the time, no one would care if you said no.  Just as fears are something we learn, saying yes to everything can become a learned habit. We are programmed starting from when we are very young that NO is an inappropriate or rude answer. Eat your broccoli, NO, share your toys, NO. It just isn't the right answer. But saying yes to things when you wanted to say no can cause so much angst. Why bother? Think of a time you said yes instead of no and asked yourself why? Then ask it a few more times. For example, my friends want to go to a concert in NYC, and I said yes, but I wish I said no.  Why? Because I don't have enough money. But you really don't want them to know that. Why? Because I don't make as much money as they do. I don't want to be judged regarding my career choice. Why? Because I love my career, but they don't understand? Why? Because I feel like they will judge me. Why? Because all my life I have been judged, my mother always said I wasn't good enough.  Do you see where I am going with this? There are things deep inside us that keep us from listening to what sometimes can be a straightforward question. My executive coach taught me this "Yum or Yuck?" Sometimes it is that easy, and here is where meditation can help.  Here is a true story:  Wanting to be more vulnerable. Talk about the guy who didn't want to go on the golf trip. Meditation made him feel, clear, confident, and nonreactive, and he said NO and was so happy.  What about people who have restricted diets or maybe are on a diet?  Did you ever hear the comedian John Mulaney do the bit on canceling plans? It goes something like this: "It's so much easier not to do things than to do things. It's 100% easier not to do things and so much fun not to do things, especially when you were supposed to do them.  In terms of instant relief canceling plans is like heroin - instant joy.  Kids don't like that - they say awwwwww we didn't do anything all day.  Did you ever as an adult what they did over the weekend, and they said they didn't do anything, and their face lights up!" Although funny, this is pretty spot on. But it's hard. Meditation and mindfulness give us space to build our inner voice, our inner courage because it helps us be more comfortable being ourselves. For example, in a self-inquiry meditation, we ask ourselves a question such as "who am I" and be comfortable just sitting with the question without even answering it." We are building courage through listening to our inner wisdom and intuition.  There is nothing more satisfying then saying exactly what we want to say without question and without worrying about the outcome.  The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz Be impeccable with your word. Don't take anything personally. Don't make assumptions. Always do your best. If you haven't read it or you haven't read it in years, please do!    My personal meditation addition goes like this: Be impeccable with your word. Be true to yourself; you are worth it. Don't take anything personally. Do not judge or be judged Don't make assumptions. Be mindful that we are all humans with our own stories. Own yours, but don't makeup someone else's.  Always do your best. Start with this one, and the rest will follow. Use mindful actions to remind yourself always to do your best.   Use your daily practice to nourish yourself and be the very best you can be. A truthful, courageous and confident human. Homework: Say no once and see how it feels.  Yum or Yuck? Give it a try.  Slow down before you speak, listen to your inner wisdom.  Ask yourself why you are saying yes and then ask again and maybe a third or fourth time. With all the craziness in the world, especially now with the Corona Virus, remember to take time to care for yourself. Meditation helps increase your immune system and calm the nervous system.  If you haven't started, why not join my next group of Tators in the class beginning on April 19th. And it's all done online, so no need to worry about infection. It's going to be fun, easy, and useful.  Join me next week for another week of March Un-madness Peace out tators

In today's episode, we will explore Mindful Sleep. As we age, our sleep patterns change, and those changes can be downright unpleasant. Even if you're a young buck who sleeps poorly, this episode is for you too! There are a few ways to look at these exhausting annoyances and some mindful methods to improve them. We know meditation can improve sleep, but what happens as we age and how can our meditation practice can help us at 2 am when we were staring at the ceiling trying to solve world peace and figure out if the light really does go out in our refrigerator when we close the door. Sleep is a critical part of our health. Please don't say, "oh well, I am just getting older. I will just nap more." NO, NO, NO, life is too short to sleep through, and during those waking hours, you want to feel like a spring chicken. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey There, Alexa Z here, and it is week 2 of March Un-Madness!  Please remember, as we talk about how fantastic meditation and mindfulness is, if you need help learning and sticking to these practices, I am always here to help. I have a class launching in April. If you are interested, go to www.alexazmeditates.com/help, and I will let you know all about it. Now, let's dig right into the topic of sleep. I will split into three pieces. What meditation does for sleep. What happens to our sleep as we age? What can you do to set yourself up for a better night's rest before, during, and after sleep? Yes, this means you need to listen until the end to get the tips to use tonight. Sorry, but we must go through one and two to understand three.  Don't worry; the podcast is short. Meditation and Sleep In episode 6, I talked about all the reasons why sleep is essential and how sleep is the number one way to reduce stress (go ahead back and give it a listen if you missed it). As a quick review, sleep is fantastic, but no one seems to get the right amount and quality of sleep to wash out all the stress, then stress begins to build up. Exercise is fantastic, but it only gets rid of current stress, it tends not to attack all of the past stresses. Meditation, on the other hand, does two amazing things (well many but here are the top ones for today,) it helps get rid of current AND past stress and the practice builds your sleep muscles. In the perfect world, we would glide through non REM, and REM brain wave sleep like this: Beta – awake and aware, Alpha – gentle bridge to sleep, Theta going deeper into dreamy land and Delta the most restorative waves of all. We need that gentle cycle about every 90 minutes, but that isn't always the case, hence why sometimes you sleep eight hours and wake up still tired! The Alpha waves are very low in today's crazy world, and meditation helps to strengthen them!  Meditation mimics good sleep. We meditate our way through Beta, Alpha, and Theta, and if that isn't cool enough, try Yoga Nidra and get down into those Delta waves (listen to episode 8 on Nidra or go to my website and try the free one on the home page.) What Happens as We Age? Ok, I am the queen of simple, so let's see if I can stay the queen. What most of us find is that as we get older: Sleep patterns change. It is harder to fall asleep. You have to pee more. Your joints hurt. Caffeine can have more of an effect on you. Sleep Apnea Restless Leg Syndrome Reflux And other body issues or illnesses. You wake up more often because you spend less time in a deep sleep. Your neurological receptors begin to weaken These receptors connect with your sleep chemicals, making it harder for your brain to figure out when you are tired and when you are supposed to be awake. Now at this point, you are probably getting depressed and tired and want to take a nap. But wait, even naps don't feel as good anymore. Plus, the more you nap, the harder it is to get to sleep at night. It becomes a vicious circle. Another reminder: Meditation helps your health, your brain waves, your pain tolerance, your immune system, your circadian rhythms, etc. Using Mindfulness to Get You to Sleep (or perhaps back to sleep!) As you continue your Meditation practice and keep building those strong brain muscles, shifting around grey and white matter in your brain, lowering your stress levels, etc.  What kind of mindfulness can you practice starting tonight at two or three am? First, start with a better pre-sleep routine. From figuring out your natural sleep cycle to uncluttering your bedroom, to changing up your activities and screen time. You can get a list from my sleep episode freebie at www.alexazmeditates.com/sleep which also includes a meditation to help you get to sleep Before bed, take a moment to close the day down with an evening ritual – write everything down you want to do the next day and put it away! Get in bed and be mindful of yourself and your bed. Use all of your senses, the feel of the sheets against your skin, the pillow under your head, the smells of the room, the little sounds near and far that are just part of the environment, the sensations of the body from the inside out. Lie in stillness and gratitude and leave the thinking mind and enter the feeling mind. Move to the attention of your breath. Maybe the belly is ever so slightly moving the covers. Or perhaps a hand or small pillow on your stomach can help you feel the movement. Instead of counting sheep, gently count your breath. Body Scan your way from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. Every so slowly, no labeling, just noticing. As thoughts drift in, we know they will, observe them without labeling them and gently return to your breath. Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night, I return to a childhood prayer, and I say it silently and ever so slowly to myself a few words at a time. Say two to three words, then stop and take a breath, now the next words and so forth. Use your mindfulness to notice how human you are, how caught up you can become, then without judgment permit yourself to think about it later. Have compassion for yourself, know that you are reasonable, and the more you leave the stress of being awake behind, the more you are offering yourself rest even if you are not sound asleep. So many ways to be mindful. My kindness to myself is to turn on a Nidra first thing in the morning. It helps give me more rest and goes back to helping my brain waves. If this is all fun and exciting, but you need some help learning meditation and mindful practices, you need a bit of personal handholding, maybe some group coaching and a dose of accountability, then go to alexazmeditates.com/help. The next class begins in April. Now go forth and approach tonight's sleep with a mindful attitude. Go gently and with compassion for yourself. Our age is not a detriment, we earned these years, and we can make them the best they can be. Still, first, we need to be present enough to notice things that are off and then do our best to insert nourishing practices into our life like meditation, proper nutrition, exercise, and surround ourselves with loving people. We are all in this crazy world together. Let's take it in stride. Less napping more meditation! Peace out Tators. Next week let's talk about mindfully saying NO and loving the outcome.

Intro In today's episode, I am going to shed a little light on emotional intelligence.  You might think you don't need to listen to this episode because you know all about it, you might have even read Daniel Goleman's book, Emotional Intelligence.  Hold tight! I am here to talk about how meditation can improve your emotional intelligence, why we should always enhance emotional intelligence, and how it can make you a better person and a better leader. Increasing your emotional intelligence is just one more magical gift that meditation can offer.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey there, Alexa Z here!  Before we jump into the topic of mindfulness, meditation, and emotional intelligence, I would like you to take a moment and check-in with yourself.  Ask yourself, what are my emotions and feelings right now.  When I work with children, I ask, "What's the weather today?" For example, sometimes, I feel stormy and sunny at the same time, as though my weather is a bit oxymoronic.  Hold on to your thoughts on what your emotions are right now, and I will talk about them again a little bit later.  If you have read Daniel Goleman's book on emotional intelligence, you may have some knowledge about this topic.  I personally like to keep it simple.  There are excellent reasons why we need emotional intelligence.  Usually, you hear about emotional intelligence with leadership.  Everyone should be a good leader, whether you are a leader in a company or your family, or merely making your way through life.  Imagine if you could not perceive that an employee or a family member, or your friend, is frustrated or upset.  Imagine if you could not tune in to what others are feeling, and you are unable to connect with them.  Research calls tuning in to another's emotions as emotional intelligence.  Research also indicates that emotional intelligence is what differentiates great leaders from average leaders.  In Daniel Goleman's book, he includes a study that involved approximately 200 executives.  The study found that their emotional intelligence, also known as EQ or emotional quotient, was twice as relevant to performance compared to their IQ. and their technical abilities.  Approximately 70% of the time, people with high emotional intelligence can outperform and attain superior leadership positions at a faster pace than those who have a high IQ and technical abilities.  I have always been fascinated by emotional intelligence.  I am relatively smart, but I do not have a stellar IQ.  There are some aspects I can't change about myself. But, I can improve my emotional intelligence.  Not only can I develop my emotional intelligence, but I must continuously work on it.  Your IQ stays the same, the way you learned in the past is the same way you learn today; it does not change.  Your personality doesn't really change.  I always say that I am an introvert hiding in an extroverts body. That won't change. Emotional intelligence continually comes up when I teach meditation.  One of the first things I ask is, what are your desires to meditate, and what was one thing that brought you here to learn how to meditate?  Very often, the response I hear is to stop being so emotional and to stop being reactive.  I also understand their to desire to balance their emotions, logic, and reasoning.  At the beginning of this episode, I asked how you were feeling.  You likely had to pause for a minute and think about it.  It's not easy to tune into your own emotions.  Those who can tune in to their feelings are excellent leaders because they also can easily tune into the feelings of those around them.  For example, if I am in tune with my emotions and feelings, I can easily tune in to the emotions and feelings of perhaps an employee I am meeting.  I can use what I have learned about my employee's feelings and emotions to determine my actions; I want my actions to have the most significant outcome and success for myself and my employees.  The act of properly using your emotional brain isn't only applicable to your employees; it applies to your family, your friends, and everyone you come in contact with.  Tuning in to your feelings and those around isn't as easy as it sounds.  Our emotions are coming at us so fast that it seems that they do not travel through our brain in a logical order. We can fix this! What are emotions? Emotions are a neurological response to very strong stimuli. Your rational brain needs to catch up to your feelings.  As your emotions are coming through your brainstem and entering your brain, we need to differentiate and discriminate amongst those feelings before they get to our executive prefrontal cortex, before we react.  In meditation, we are helping our brain to become more aware of our feelings and emotions; and also our bodies.  The more we meditate, the better we are at discriminating and tuning in to our own and others' emotions resulting in more rational thinking and decision making.  There will be fewer days where you say to yourself, "I wish I didn't make that decision based on my crappy mood."  You will have more control over your reactions when your employee or your spouse is upset.  You will be able to identify that your emotions are high because their emotions are high, which will lead to better decisions and successful outcomes. Years ago, I was teaching a woman who had a 5-year-old child.  This woman just wanted to be able to deal with her 5-year-old.  In her words, her child was cute, adorable, but crazy.  She likely would have preferred for me to teach meditation to her child instead, but I believe mom must learn how to meditate first.  I taught her about body scanning, and how our bodies are brilliantly intuned with our emotions.  If we are in tune with our bodies, we will be in tune with our feelings.  The woman began to notice, in real-time, that when she was feeling wound up, her child would also become wound up.  The calmer she grew, her child began to respond and become calm.  Simple but profound. When you are meditating, you are training yourself to be more aware of sensations.  Noticing when things change, noticing what our triggers are.  Emotional intelligence requires clear communication between the rational part of your brain and the emotional center.  Think of a seesaw.  You have a brain on one side and a heart on the other.  You might know someone so smart, but you want to smack them because everything they say comes from a high intellectual level but is missing any trace of emotion.  Often, they make decisions based on their highly logical brain but fail because no emotions were considered.   Logic, reason, and emotion, how do we get all these parts of the brain working together?  Meditation helps you become in touch with your self-awareness in real-time.  Self-awareness in real-time and emotional awareness helps your brain get one more second to catch up.  In that one second, magic can happen.  Your anterior cingulate, the part that helps balance your brain; it lights up when you are meditating.  The practice and training are helping balance your brain.  In 2017, Daniel Goleman wrote a subsequent book called Altered Traits - Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain, and Body. Worth reading! While you are meditating, I would like you to notice sensations.  I always say, "get out of the thinking mind and enter the feeling mind" and "be a human being and not a human doing."  Start your meditation with a body scan, and think to yourself, "How am I feeling right now?", "What am I feeling?" and "Where am I feeling it?" You might start to think about how long have you felt this way; you might even want to name that emotion.  Then think, how is this emotion affecting me right now in my performance in my life, home or work. Devote your meditation to getting in touch with the feeling part of you.  Sometimes, suddenly that action of I know what to do comes up.  In that action, there is action, not reaction.  To summarize; you can change your emotional intelligence, and you can be as great as you want to be.  I know you want to be great because I know you want to be in a world where you can perceive your emotions and those around you.  You don't live under a rock, we have people around us all the time, and I know that you are a caring and compassionate person.  If you only take one thing away from this episode it is that meditation does a lot of great stuff, including helping your emotional intelligence.  Try some of this stuff in your meditation.  See how it feels.  Shoot me a text, DM, email, or a smoke signal, tell me how it's going.  That's it for today, Tators!   Alexa Z Meditates Website

In this heavy hitter the guys decide once and for all who wins the Dictator Olympics, then take a trip to the Koreas, the Congo and several of the "-istan" countries for a world tour of big dick dictators and the gruesome ways they've terrorized their citizens throughout history. Talk about a good time!

In this episode, the guys bring some of the world's most evil dictators to the table for a gold-silver-bronze battle royale to the death. Who slaughtered more members of the village people? Who stretched out the highest number of assholes? Which dictator will ultimately rule the world as the biggest dick of all???

It is easy to start analyzing ourselves and others in our groups and organizations and to take what happens personally. A better way to look at what goes on is to understand that people grow into certain roles or styles and are usually just being whomever they are out of habit or just because that is the way their personalities are. They are just being TATORS. If we are able to understand this and accept them for the TATOR they are, we will be a lot more comfortable. Which tator are you? 1. Agitator: Ajy likes to keep things stirred up, find fault, criticize, and make things seem worse than they really are. 2. Anitator: Anny likes to have the last word, always “gets his/her two cents worth in,” and always has an opinion on everything and likes to show others that he/she knows more than everyone else. 3. Commentator: Common likes to be sure that everyone knows everything that is going on, is in charge of gossip and “tattling,” and seems to talk all the time even if no one wants to listen or if everyone already knew about what is being said. 4. Dictator: Dick likes to take charge, boss everyone around, be the one who makes all the decisions, and generally be in charge of everything whether or not it is his/her business or responsibility. 5. Gravitator: Gravi is pretty much of a “couch potato,” always hanging around and there when others want a little privacy, and always seems to be too tired to help out, do things, or get out of the way. 6. Hesitator: Hezy can never decide, always waits to see what someone else's opinion is and then uses that one, is very unsure of himself/herself, goes out of the way not to offend anyone or get anyone upset, and thinks that if he/she can please everyone all the time things will be okay. 7. Levitator: Leva thinks he/she is just a little better than everyone else, is sort of above it all most of the time, seems like he/she is looking down the nose at others, and feels pretty much superior to everyone else. 8. Meditator: Meda seems to take forever to do things because he/she has to think everything over very carefully before doing something, never wants to do anything quickly or on the spur of the moment because anything worth doing is worth thinking through carefully, and is usually hard to talk with because everything has to be analyzed and discussed in great detail. 9. Militator: Milla is always on guard and ready to go to war, will argue with anyone about anything anytime, never gives an inch, and is ready to stand his/her ground with anyone who tries to take advantage or confront him/her. 10. Precipitator: Precipi is one of those TATORS that is able to get other people into arguments and then walk away, say or do things that get others upset and then pretend like he/she is totally innocent, and seems to get things messed up or stirred up without seeming to have started it or without seeming to have been involved. 11. Spectator: Spec likes to stay on the sidelines and not really get involved, simply watch or listen without really participating, and just stays to himself/herself because that seems like the safest way of just getting by without getting involved. 12. Facilitator: Facili does not mind being out of alphabetical order because his/her job is to be helpful, to do things for other people, to be there when others need him/her, and to stay away from things that have to do with accepting responsibility, showing leadership, or running the risk of being blamed for what is done or how things turn out. 13. Baby Sweetator: Baby Sweet is the kind of TATOR that is always happy and cheerful no matter what, is too nice for anyone to get upset with even if he/she does something that they should get upset about, cries or has his/her feelings hurt very easily, and tries to get special treatment just because he/she is so sweet, innocent, and not really responsible for anything that happens that is bad or causes problems for others.

It is easy to start analyzing ourselves and others in our groups and organizations and to take what happens personally. A better way to look at what goes on is to understand that people grow into certain roles or styles and are usually just being whomever they are out of habit or just because that is the way their personalities are. They are just being TATORS. If we are able to understand this and accept them for the TATOR they are, we will be a lot more comfortable. Which tator are you? 1. Agitator: Ajy likes to keep things stirred up, find fault, criticize, and make things seem worse than they really are. 2. Anitator: Anny likes to have the last word, always “gets his/her two cents worth in,” and always has an opinion on everything and likes to show others that he/she knows more than everyone else. 3. Commentator: Common likes to be sure that everyone knows everything that is going on, is in charge of gossip and “tattling,” and seems to talk all the time even if no one wants to listen or if everyone already knew about what is being said. 4. Dictator: Dick likes to take charge, boss everyone around, be the one who makes all the decisions, and generally be in charge of everything whether or not it is his/her business or responsibility. 5. Gravitator: Gravi is pretty much of a “couch potato,” always hanging around and there when others want a little privacy, and always seems to be too tired to help out, do things, or get out of the way. 6. Hesitator: Hezy can never decide, always waits to see what someone else's opinion is and then uses that one, is very unsure of himself/herself, goes out of the way not to offend anyone or get anyone upset, and thinks that if he/she can please everyone all the time things will be okay. 7. Levitator: Leva thinks he/she is just a little better than everyone else, is sort of above it all most of the time, seems like he/she is looking down the nose at others, and feels pretty much superior to everyone else. 8.

As you watch the video, please consider how Agi, can destroy the church (and how it is portrayed in the video). Have you seen it happen in real life? What can we do to eliminate this problem in God's Family? Don't be a Tator!
