Is your world a little extra busy and loud and crazy these days?  Have you ever felt that you needed some more silence or calm tranquility in your hectic days?  Have you considered how we can employ a practice of stillness in our lives to catapult us into our next moments with more energy and a greater capacity for creative and effective work?We must understand that reaching a level of stillness that will serve us well will require many disciplined and active processes and an approach of self-awareness, mindfulness, and an appreciation of the importance of our ability to be in constant search of and recognize the virtue of attaining an actively sought after inner peace. Join us today as we endeavor to become more still - actively pursuing a stillness in our lives to better cope and to have greater resilience.  We dive into the works of Ryan Holiday as he brings us the ancient Stoic philosophy to aid us on our journey in life.  Be Present...Be Mindful...Right Here!

Healing is for the heroic spirit within each of us...Healing can be something we work on with a greater ability to smile and be immersed in some level of joy...“If you can recognize and accept your pain without running away from it, you will discover that although pain is there, joy can also be there at the same time.” Thich Nhat HanhCome on this journey of healing with me...Be Present ... Be Mindful ... and be open to the good parts of healing and the more difficult parts of healing... on this journey of healing as we go...Right Here! Right Now! 

One of my favorite subjects on today's episode - LEARNING! Open yourself up to the things that you do not know! Open your hearts up to that feeling of vulnerability when you must admit that you do not know - for it is the only path to truly be able to learn - and from learning is growth - and an evolution that allows us to be our most authentic versions of ourselves!And let's ponder this quote from Epictetus:"It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows."Turn the opportunity to learn into a possibility with being ok with not knowing!Be present and be mindful!Right Here! Right Now!

Today, we are reminded of what mindfulness means to each of us - to each of our moments in life.  We must be compassionate and kind to ourselves knowing that we will need to constantly put ourselves back on track.  I hope to invigorate a sense of how powerful and impactful the practice of mindfulness can be for each of us.  We go over some of the science behind mindfulness and we attempt to see the benefits of mindfulness in motion - meaning, how we can take the practice of sitting with our thoughts in a non-judgmental manner and how this can translate into a slower and more deliberate and calm apporach to life and the challenges that we know we will face.Be present and be mindful!Right Here!  Right Now! Music Credit:Intro music:STKA_Path To Chaos Strngs from the album STKA-Rock-Orchestral 1 by Strike Audio [Curtis Marolt, William Jay Stein, Michael A.

Today’s mindfulness intention builds upon the work from one of our more popular episodes…today we reflect and get a little closer to the concept of Amor Fati - The Love of your Fate.  This concept has become very powerful and quite meaningful for me - a practice and mindset we learned from from the Stoics - I have studied it and reflected upon this wisdom in my own life - especially most recently.Amor Fati encourages us to view adversity as a teacher. We must always ask ourselves, "What can I learn from this experience?" Be present and be mindful - Right Here! Right Now!Listen to the original Amor Fati Mindful Moment episode here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mindful-moment-amor-fati/id1616393846?i=1000619794080    Music Credit:Intro music:STKA_Path To Chaos Strngs from the album STKA-Rock-Orchestral 1 by Strike Audio [Curtis Marolt, William Jay Stein, Michael A.
