What you will learn in this episode:

• Why it's important to slow down, meditate, be mindful and grounded in our hearts and our bodies to deal with the intense stressors today and stay sane
• A simple meditation breathing exercise to get connected to a deeper wisdom, turning away from the world of appearances, and tuning in to the wisdom within us
• How to reconnect with your heart and nature by taking breaks, get back into a world of cooperation (not competition) by being in the now
• The importance of deep listening and appreciating the world right now in this moment, cutting out distractions from connected devices, and finding the time for busy people to "check back in."
• Simple examples of ways to take time for self-care (get a facial or massage, meditate, walk, yoga) to be able to give more to your friends and family from the overflow instead of the bottom of the barrel
• What Buddhist Monk Thich Nhat Hanh says in "The Miracle of Mindfulness" about being present and enjoying things like eating or doing the dishes
• Why it's important to stop the numbing and get human connection, one-ness, and wholeness back
• Reconnecting to our humanity to change what happens in our world around us, check back in, and treat ourselves differently
• How to stop chasing more desire, stimulation, addiction, and consumerism by living in your heart and not in your head

Quotes:

"We need to be able to tune into what's going on within us so that we know how to respond from a place of peace. We need to know how to respond, not react, to what's going on around us."

"We can choose to take time out, or the universe will give us those time outs if we don't choose them for ourselves."
