        • Mindset & Mindfulness
          Mindset in layman's terms simply means, the way you think and how those thoughts steer the decisions you make.
          The phrase, "Stop and smell the roses", is a common way to describe mindfulness.
          A healthier approach to life is to combine these methods to bring about balance, and structure.
          In the premier episode of season 4, I sit down with Sam. A driven and gifted wife/student/athlete, on a mission to bring about more balance in her life. She struggles with being in the moment. My goal, as her coach, was to not only improve some of her impediments she'd accrued through many years of sport activities; but to also promote the addition of more mindfulness in her daily life.
          As she concludes her MBA program at William & Mary, she agreed to share some of her thoughts and reactions to mindfulness and mindset.
          I hope you enjoy episode 1, and thank you all for listening.
          As always, share your thoughts through the Cat's Corner podcast IG.

        • Mindfulness v/s Mindset
          Mindfulness and mindset are two distinct concepts, although they can complement each other in personal development and well-being practices. Here's an overview of their differences:
          Mindfulness:
          Mindfulness refers to a state of intentional and non-judgmental awareness of the present moment. It involves paying attention to one's thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and the surrounding environment without getting caught up in judgment or attachment. Mindfulness emphasizes acceptance, non-reactivity, and observing experiences with curiosity and openness. It is often cultivated through meditation and can be practiced in daily activities.
          Key aspects of mindfulness include:
          Being fully present in the moment
          Observing thoughts and emotions without judgment
          Cultivating awareness of bodily sensations
          Fostering acceptance and non-reactivity
          Cultivating compassion and kindness towards oneself and others
          The practice of mindfulness has been associated with numerous benefits, including stress reduction, improved emotional well-being, increased focus and attention, and enhanced self-awareness.
          Mindset:
          Mindset refers to a set of beliefs, attitudes, and assumptions that shape one's perception, interpretation, and response to situations, challenges, and opportunities. It represents the underlying framework through which individuals view themselves, others, and the world around them. A mindset can be either fixed or growth-oriented.
          Fixed mindset: In a fixed mindset, individuals believe that their abilities, intelligence, and qualities are fixed traits that cannot significantly change. They may perceive failure as a reflection of their inherent limitations and tend to avoid challenges or take risks to protect their self-image.
          Growth mindset: In a growth mindset, individuals believe that their abilities and qualities can be developed through effort, learning, and perseverance. They embrace challenges, view failures as opportunities for growth, and actively seek ways to improve and expand their skills and knowledge.
          Mindset plays a crucial role in personal and professional development, influencing motivation, resilience, problem-solving, and achievement. It can be cultivated and shifted through self-reflection, learning, and adopting new perspectives.
          In summary, while mindfulness focuses on present-moment awareness and non-judgmental observation of experiences, mindset pertains to the underlying beliefs and attitudes that shape one's approach to challenges and personal growth. Mindfulness enhances self-awareness and acceptance, while mindset influences one's perspective on abilities, learning, and development. Both mindfulness and mindset can contribute to personal well-being and positive behavioral changes.

        • Ep. 4 What's What With Linda Finley
          Linda Finley is the owner and operator of Body Fat Test. A growing line of body composition testing trucks bringing hydrostatic weighing to the general public. Hydrostatic weighing is considered the “Gold Standard” in body composition analysis, and I 100% agree. In this episode I had the pleasure of chatting with Linda about the origin of hydrostatic weighing and its necessity in every fitness plan regardless of age, gender and race.
          The is the episode that can unlock the answers to every choice you make when it comes down to what you eat, how you train your body in the gym and even the choices you make at times of extreme stress and depression.
          The latter is the most relevant to the state of our nation today. Pandemic fatigue is real. I believe the first step to taking advantage of a bit more time on your hands now, is to, once and for all, put a better effort in understanding the scientific side of our minds and bodies; as it relates to our future function.
          I hope you enjoy this as much as I did, so without further ado… Here’s, What’s What With Linda Finley.
