Mindfulness. There are magazines, blogs, books, and hundreds of courses available on this topic. I have also recorded several podcasts about this, as well. Yet while I was in London at a conference, I had the opportunity to view mindfulness in a whole new light. I believe most people have the ability to be kind…

I think most people when faced with a situation that feels much larger than us, have felt, “What impact can I truly have?” So we go through life believing that our thoughts, our words, or our actions, have no consequence in the big picture. If that’s the case, then what is, collective consciousness? Here’s one…

I think it’s fair to say that most people would consider themselves being “present” whenever they are in a conversation with someone. They were there, they heard that the other person was talking, so they can check that box. However, there is a big difference between hearing someone and truly listening. In this episode “being…

Have you ever wondered how many times you “got it wrong?” This includes interpreting a text the wrong way, an email, or what someone said. And it doesn’t stop there. Once we assign meaning to that communication, we start passing judgement about the person who said it, and create a story or a “belief” around…

I believe most people have the ability to be kind and considerate when things are going well. It’s easy to be mindful of others, when there’s no consequence to us. But what happens when being mindful to someone else, has a perceived negative consequence to us? What if being mindful means giving up something that you think you deserve, in order to honor someone else, who is also just as deserving? Are we so ready to be mindful, in that moment?
This is the focus of today’s podcast. I don’t believe we can truly call ourselves mindful, when there’s a convenience requirement attached to it. With every situation, we have the opportunity to decide how we will show up. Making the decision to show up for the betterment of another, especially when it means stepping aside, is the goal of anyone dedicated to living mindfully. Be that example today, for someone else.
