Podcasts about ultimate disc

You deeply love your sport and the community of those who play it. But your body, through pain and injury, is telling you it's time to move on.  At some point in our adult years, we all deal with this transition. And in this episode, our protagonist, Mark, still in his early thirties, talks about his own transition from high level Ultimate Frisbee player (aka Ultimate Mark) to lower risk recreational soccer goalie (aka post-Ultimate Mark) accelerated by the spinal fusion he had back in high school.   In our Season 1 episode, Ultimate Mark described the intensity he brought to the game of Ultimate disc. “I kind of just developed this persona as the person who will get hurt multiple times per game,” he told us. But, as Dr. Mohamad Bydon of the Mayo Clinic explains, the threat of adjacent segment disease made Ultimate an increasingly risky proposition for Mark.  Mark needed a change of sport but feared losing the friendship he'd made through Ultimate. “I dare you to find a better community of athletes anywhere in the world than the ultimate frisbee community,” Mark said.  Can Mark move beyond his Ultimate identity? How can he leave the community loves? Dr. Michele Kerulis of Northwestern University describes the deep emotional attachments we all form to the sports we play. While our other expert guest this episode, Esther Gokhale of the Gokhale Method, concurs that Mark's body will be at much less risk in the soccer goal than on the Ultimate Disc field.  Listen and learn about Post Ultimate Mark's transition back to soccer — his first sport, which he played as a teen before spinal fusion — and his evolving relationship to the ultimate community, his own body, his athletic identity, and one very “sick” tattoo he wears over that long spinal fusion scar.    My Body Odyssey is a Fluent Knowledge production.

Two and a half years after my very first post on “Being Present,” I've learned a few things. Practicing Presence is not yet something I've mastered, and based on what I see out there, we all need a refresher. So here are my takeaways.Three Insights on “Being Present”: Everyone's Present is unique. Without curiosity, you'll never get “there.”If being “present” doesn't produce kindness in you, then you're doing it wrong.So what should we do?Unique: One size doesn't fit all. Do your own work.  Curiosity: Get curious about you. When you don't like something, ask “why?” and wait…Kindness: It's the byproduct of presence. Become an Intentional Optimist!Newsletter:  Optimistic LivingDaily Sharecast (1 min videos):Intentional Optimism Sharecast on Marco PoloCollaborative Group Coaching Community: Launch From The BeachEmail me at andrea@theintentionaloptimist.comJoin me over in the Intentional Optimists Facebook GroupFollow on Instagram @theintentionaloptimistLinkedIn Andrea JohnsonGrab your FREEAndrea's Favorite Planning & Productivity tools“Ultimate DISC communication Cheat Sheet”Need some tools?Mini Course: “Uncovering Your Core Values” Try New Things - 30 Day ChallengeDISC Assessment, 10% discount (code "PODCAST") Noom: A Mindful Way to Eat Learn how to intentionally challenge your mindset in order to take control of your health.Skillshare: Spark your creativity.

Living with Intentional Optimism is not about always being sunny and happy. It's about embracing life with all its ups and downs.

Andrea & Kim have both lost their mothers to cancer, and this conversation is about the growing, the learning, and the legacy we can all leave behind.Topics discussed in this episode:  February = Focus on the Tenet Present.

Start small. Start asking yourself some honest questions: Do I seek to understand? Or do I only want to be understood?Is it my goal to understand the perspectives of those outside my “group?”Where do I go for information, when I want to understand a particular topic?What do I hope to gain from any new knowledge I discover in my search?Where is my north star? Is my boat headed in a direction that aligns with my values and beliefs? Do I need to adjust that by pursuing more understanding in certain areas?Next, if you're ready to work on it, here are the ways I pursue understanding… Look for the Spiritual in the Ordinary. Acknowledging we are human helps keep us humble.Get real - be willing to see the good AND the bad. Without that understanding, the true beauty and depth of our own existence never gets a chance to shine through.  Pursue a 360° view of life.
