Contemplation with Tarun Gulati

In this episode we speak with Luca Buchholz, who is passionate about community management, about how she uses Contemplation and the Adios principles to make her personal and professional decisions. Listen to her as she talks about the importance of picking the right time in life to do this program and realising that most answers are within herself which she can find using Contemplation without depending on anyone else.

In this episode we speak with Dr Antonio Ocana who is a senior mental health professional. Listen to him as he explains how Contemplation and the Adios principles impact various circuits in your brain. He also talks about how the brain has its own physiological definition of feeling peaceful, just like you focus on peace of mind as the final outcome in the Adios method.

In this episode, we speak with Pallavi Agarwal, cofounder of goSTOPS, about how she regularly uses Contemplation as a systematic tool to make her business decisions. Listen to her talk about how she went from being an immediate decision-maker to starting to go on regular Contemplation retreats to think deeply about her business decisions. 

In this episode, we talk to Elena, founder of SelfTalk, about how she uses Contemplation in her personal and professional life. She has interesting things to say about her old journaling habit and how the Adios program changed it and an incident when she met a friend of hers and realised what was going on in her own mind.

While our eyes and ears point outward physiologically, our attention also tends to tag along and stay outside most of the time. It is critical to bring that attention back so we can periodically stay within and have a constant dialogue with ourselves. Getting lost in the outside world is quite easy. You need a strong internal foundation to stay on course. Listen to this episode to think about this in detail

In this episode, we will go through a couple of practical reasons why Meditation may not be working for you. The details of your day at home and work matter a lot in these matters. Sometimes, that gets ignored which results in suboptimal results.

In this episode, we discuss why it is important for you to choose work that is aligned with your personal values, what matters to you and what makes you more peaceful.

A large number of people today are busy doing what they are not meant to do or what they don’t like doing. They choose work based on what most others are doing, or what pays best, rather than what is best for them. They work for the pay check at the end of the month. Doing this makes your life stressful and less fulfilling and it also does not maximize your potential.

Please listen to the episode and complete the Contemplation exercise at the end of the episode. It might help you improve your clarity with respect to the kind of work you wish to do or the kind of organization you wish to work with.

To check how healthy your work is for you today, please take the assessment on www.adiosworld.com. Please sign up for the free introductory 15 day email Contemplation program here.

In this episode of the Contemplation podcast, we discuss how each one of us has multiple personalities, multiple voices inside our head. All of these voices can pull you in different directions sometimes, vying for control.

The key is this.

Choose the voice that makes you more peaceful and avoid the voice that makes you less peaceful. Choose the voice that reduces your restlessness and avoid the voice that increases it. All the best.

In this episode, we discuss why business leaders should not blindly focus on going, or growing, fast but it is strategically more advantageous to mix fast with slow. You might feel guilty if you are not working or going fast all the time, but that is an illusion. It does not help you and makes your thought process shallow. On the contrary, you should feel guilty if you are only going fast all the time. Only fast is the past. Fast + Slow is the way to go.
