When I sit down and I meditate or pray, I am struggling for the most part. When I take the time to sit down, close my eyes and pray, that's where I feel my stress alleviated and I can start getting everything under control. Thoughts On Breathing Getting into the cold shower is still uncomfortable, but I'm a little bit more used to it now. When I first got in, with the cold in the dead of winter here in Utah, the water was really cold. It was long, deep breaths, very frantic at the beginning. I recognized that I was getting better. Those frantic breaths gradually became a little bit slower, slower, slower. Bullying Story I was blessed growing up. I got along with pretty much everyone as a kid, didn't matter your race, your religion, or your orientation. I can get along with pretty much anyone. I do want to share a story with someone I call my brother these days. His name is Dawson. We went to middle school together. I met him in my 6th-grade year. Dawson was a weird kid. His dad was a lot older than the rest of our parents. Dawson grew up just like his dad. He grew up fishing and going boating, doing outdoorsy activities. I like all those things, but he took them to an extreme. That's all he could talk about. He would run around during recess and act like he was driving a boat. Dawson was an interesting guy. Dawson was the odd one out. He sometimes felt like he didn't have anyone to turn to. At the time, in Middle School, you do not want to be best friends with the guy everyone thinks is weird. I was always nice to him. But I was never, like Dawson eat lunch with us or hang out with us. Then one day I saw Dawson and his dad sitting right behind me at my church. Today he's one of my best friends. He lives in Idaho now, but I talk to him every single week.     Suggested Resources Book: Living With A Seal by Jesse Itzler Book: All the David Goggins books Podcast: Get Over Yourself App: Sanvello App Related Episodes Build Your Relationships; Jonathan Pritchard Mindful Money Abundance with Morgana Rae Mindfulness Insight From Successful Entrepreneur, Johnathan Grzybowski Seeking relief from stress and anxiety?

I was then able to work through them and not run away. One of the hardest emotions to feel is shame. I've carried my own shame and it's by being able to descend mindfully with presence into the dark that we are able to discover our sacred spark. Mindfulness is really the ability to go In and be open and be curious to these negative emotions. Thoughts On Breathing Breathing is one of the important things that help us connect to our life force. We feel our life force in two physiological ways. One is breath, and the other one is the heartbeat. If you look at many meditative practices, it's following the breath. It's calming and centering. There is an underlying principle: what is spirit? The word spirit in Latin comes from the root, the animating breath of Life. Bullying Story Regarding bullying, there are both sides. There is the bully, and then there is the victim of the bully. The bully is probably bullying because they don't know how to be skillful in order to get what they need. They also have a sense of shame or weakness underneath them that they are trying to cover. If they were more mindful, knew what was really motivating them, and addressed this inherent weakness that they're trying to cover up by being overly aggressive, then that would prevent them from bullying.

We all have ebbs and flows. I definitely have my highs and lows still. I think mindfulness has made me more aware of when I'm having a low or when I'm having overwhelming thoughts or even depression. My mindfulness practice has helped me recognize that and get me into a better mindset more quickly instead of dwelling on it for days and weeks. Thoughts On Breathing I really enjoy box breathing. I almost modified it to be more of a triangle breathing. The idea is that I will breathe in for a count of 4, hold it for a count of 4, and exhale for a count of 4. Just doing that for a repetition of 20 times can be a form of meditation. Bullying Story Bullying is a huge problem in schools, and it always has been, probably even back when I was a kid. I think mindfulness can help with bullying. I can't speak out of experience, but I think it can help with emotional regulation. If you get bullied, you may have a fight-or-flight reactive response. However, how you react could make the situation better or worse through emotional regulation. With mindfulness you also are a little bit more self-regulated. You're more aware of your surroundings and aware of your situations. This situational awareness can keep you out of situations where you could get bullied.

Thoughts On Breathing Your breath never leaves you. As a result, we always forget to access it because it's always in the now. So anchor into the breath. Bullying Story I was called Natalie Bedard, retard. So you can imagine how that shaped my identity. I'm biracial, also. I grew up in the northern part of Ontario, in Sudbury. So, going to school, my father wasn't around. I was not able to identify with my black side. Going into a school system and having trauma, my self-worth wasn't there. At school, they couldn't understand why my IQ was so high, but my grades and tests were not. I looked at my biology, and I internalized it. But not so much that it limited me from moving forward. It was almost as though I had some mindfulness. I was still really attached to my. curiosity and intuition. Suggested Resources Book: The Untethered Soul by Michael A.

It's like if there's a storm occurring on the top of an ocean, but 20 feet down, things are calm. I can get mad as heck and still know that there's a place inside me just watching my anger. Thoughts On Breathing The student comes to the master and says breathing, breathing, breathing. Why are you always talking about breathing? So the master grabs his head and sticks it underneath the water in the fountain and holds it there for a while. Then he releases it and says to the student. Any questions?   Breathing is just a point of attention, but since you carry it with you wherever you are, it's not like a candle. You always have your breath. Immediately bring your attention to your breath and because you are already conditioned that that is your meditative state, it results in a feeling of calm. Bullying Story I was bullied as a child. I'm 60% Hungarian, and we go back to the Huns and the Mongolians. So you can imagine that my people are the ones playing goal hockey with a Lamb's head. I've always been big. When I was in elementary school, all the girls used to call me cooties. My mindfulness and meditation practice have allowed me to get to the point where I have some insight as to what might have been going on with them and the peer pressure that they had. Subsequently, mindfulness has helped me to have a certain forgiveness. If I had been more mindful, I might not have been as traumatized by it.

I don't really get angry that much. Being in the moment with mindfulness can really help you regulate your emotions just by being calm. Thoughts On Breathing I know that there are many breathing techniques, but the one I like the most is one that isn't talked about much. For me, I like to listen to music. Music comes to me in regular patterns, and it is built around a structure. When you listen to it, you start to breathe in the cadence of the music. This can help you take your mind off of the issue and start to incorporate your mind into the song. You will start to calm down and start breathing into the music, into the phrases. That really helps me. Bullying Story I don't really remember being bullied as a kid. That was pretty much because I didn't notice anybody around me when I was younger. I think in any case, with bullying, mindfulness can help a person by helping them realize what is important in the moment. Bullies really have a hard time. They are trying to transfer their hard time onto somebody else. Knowing that, we can have a little bit more compassion towards that person.

Ian Clark teaches how to unlock ultimate health by focusing on wellness and fitness. At the age of 46, Ian found himself bankrupt and facing a dire prognosis of only 1000 days left to live.

Within just two years, his business reached hundreds of thousands of individuals. Now 65, Ian Clark is the owner and Chief Executive Officer of Activation Products (Can) Inc.

Emotion is actually energy. In your body there are streams of data coming from your brain which is monitoring everything. That is energy in motion, and when you get plugged up you have low energy. When your energy is good, it drives very good feelings. When you feel great, you become really great. Thoughts On Breathing A lot of people talk about breathing techniques. It is way simpler than all this complicated stuff. There's a thing called box breathing. It's something you should do every day for around 5 minutes. Box breathing means you will breathe in through your nose to the count of five and out through your mouth to the count of six. Be very smooth, very gentle, and not forced. When you do that, your autonomic nervous system immediately, within 30 seconds, goes into parasympathetic mode. That means you're resting, digesting, and calm. Then, you can handle the situations. It takes you out of sympathetic stress. Bullying Story The thing that I experienced is that as soon as the company got to be about 10 million in sales a year, all of a sudden, people were coming out of the woodwork to our company offering their services. I then learned about a term called gang stalking. That means that people are thinking about how to find out what they are doing and how to copy what they are doing. They are also trying to figure out how they could potentially come in and buy the company. They may even want to cause problems for the company so the company will lose its value and maybe even go bankrupt. We had this happen on three different occasions until I finally caught on. If someone was not successful in causing damage, then they would later say we caused the problem.

Seclusion for wellbeing is today’s topic. Lately, I’ve been spending a lot more time alone. I’ve been working on a project where I’ve been away from home for 5 or 6 days at a time. My wife enjoys her own space and is fine with more time alone. This extra seclusion has been happening for a couple of months now. This experience has left me feeling a new sense of gratitude and I feel refreshed. Listen & Subscribe on: iTunes / Stitcher / Podbean / Overcast / Spotify Contact Info Website: www.MindfulnessMode.com While seclusion may not be universally beneficial for everyone, some people may find certain advantages in taking time for seclusion and solitude to become more centered, focused, grounded, and happy. Here are five potential benefits: 1/ Reflection and Introspection Seclusion provides an opportunity for deep reflection and introspection without distractions, allowing individuals to delve into the thoughts, emotions, and inner workings of their minds. This can lead to greater self-awareness, clarity, and understanding of oneself, contributing to a sense of centeredness and emotional stability. 2/ Stress Reduction Being alone in a quiet, secluded environment can help reduce stress levels by providing a break from external stimuli and demands. This can promote relaxation, calmness, and a sense of inner peace, fostering emotional equilibrium and overall well-being. 3/ Enhanced Focus and Concentration Seclusion allows individuals to eliminate distractions and focus their attention on specific tasks, goals, or activities without interruption. This can lead to improved concentration, productivity, and performance, ultimately fostering a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. 4/ Connection with Nature Secluding oneself in natural surroundings, such as a quiet forest or secluded beach, can facilitate a deeper connection with nature. Spending time outdoors, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, can promote feelings of awe, gratitude, and interconnectedness with the natural world, which are associated with increased happiness and well-being. 5/ Personal Growth and Renewal Seclusion provides an opportunity for personal growth, renewal, and recharge. It allows individuals to disconnect from routine responsibilities and pressures, enabling them to rest, recharge, and rejuvenate both mentally and physically. This can lead to increased resilience, creativity, and a renewed sense of purpose and fulfillment in life.
