Self-compassion. This word has been materialized, unfortunately, giving off a certain unnecessary fluffiness to it, causing people to miss the point. We see it as an activity, or something only "weak-people" do. I give it some new thought this week for this week's self-leadership meditation, with the aim of helping people see it in a way that empowers them to take a new look at self-leading - and how to do this in a way that sparks rejuvenation and growth. #leadership #business #motivation #health #education #inspiration #training #coaching #wellness #mindset #mentalhealth #peace #meditation #inspirational #courage https://www.milestonemind.com/blog/january-14-2018-mondays-leadership-meditation

Fear. We hear this word SO much, and seem to think that it's what everyone is doing: trying to make us be afraid. Although, there is probably some truth in this, and they think they're in the driver's seat, they're not - you are. Come listen as I reflect in this week's self-leadership meditation. #leadership #meditation #reflection https://www.milestonemind.com/blog/january-7-2018-mondays-leadership-meditation

Ego. A lot of times we think, ‘if I’m not this ‘thing’ than what am I really?’ Or, ‘I didn’t work this hard to throw it all away.’ Or, ‘Isn’t that so bad, or isn’t that so good?’ It’s been such a challenge to get our minds wrapped around the fact that we are not these structures we build up around ourselves. We’re simply not. No one was born to be a leader, or be a business owner, or teacher. We were born to be human, and with that comes significant understandings, to be found through reflection and intuition, in order to live in alignment with these understandings to feel presence in our lives, none of which talk anything about accumulation or a separate ‘me’ as the path. Listen this week as I reflect on this idea for our weekly (self) leadership meditation. #leadership #motivation #health #education #inspiration #coaching #wellness #mindset #mentalhealth #business #mindfulness #meditation #courage #inspirational #determination #living #reflection https://www.milestonemind.com/blog/december-10-2018-mondays-leadership-meditation

Environment is a reflection of the 'invironment' - this goes for earth's environment, which we are inextricably tied to, and of our own personal natures. Often we hear about environments, but we never hear about what created the environment, and then why it's not changing. Personal growth is not about changing your environment, it's about allowing your 'invironment' to change, and then allow the new environments to take shape from there.

Courage, is it a capacity, or does it only spontaneously arise? Can we cultivate it, so when the time comes we can access it? What is courage anyways? Some questions I look at for this week's leadership meditation. #leadership #business #motivation #health #education #inspiration #coaching #wellness #mindset #mentalhealth https://www.milestonemind.com/blog/november-26-2018-mondays-leadership-meditation

Worthiness. This word gives me hives. It supposes one is more worthy than the other. Or that only based on one's actions or external approvals should they afford themselves the chance at worth, be it professional or personal. Self-worth is the most of fundamental human capacities, and is not owned by actions, or outcomes, more so, it is recognized in the absence of something that gets in the way of it, and it is not external to oneself. This relates greatly to leadership and self-leadership as it's not something that is granted, rather worth is your's always and your's realized. #leadership #business #motivation #health #education #inspiration #coaching #wellness #mindset #mentalhealth #grateful #science #mindfulness #courage #inspirational #determination #meditation #peace #living #reflection https://www.milestonemind.com/blog/november-19-2018-mondays-leadership-meditation

Heart. Science will show us that it has 5x the electromagnetic activity than the brain, and that from a motivational standpoint, heart is the power center to make meaningful goals come to life. But, let's go a little deeper, away from science for a minute, and more to the heart of the matter. Listen now as I reflect on heart for this week's leadership meditation. #leadership #business #motivation #health #education#inspiration #coaching #wellness #mindset #mentalhealth #mindfulness #inspiration #grateful #science #peace #meditation #courage #inspirational #determination https://www.milestonemind.com/blog/november-12-2018-mondays-leadership-meditation

Like for like. Does it ever work with negative emotions? But, thinking more deeply, even with seemingly good intention, does anger met with anger produce the outcome one's looking for? Thought patterns are riddled with paradoxes, and something I reflect on in this week's meditation. #leadership #leadership #business #motivation #health #education #inspiration #wellness #mindset #mentalhealth #grateful #mindfulness #meditation #peace #courage #inspirational #determination #running #reflection #outdoors https://www.milestonemind.com/blog/november-5-2018-mondays-leadership-meditation

Practice. When we read this, we may think 'work.' The interesting thing about practice, though, is that no matter what, you are practicing something, specifically, your habits. Practice is neutral, but remains central in all of our lives. Listen in as I reflect on this notion for this week's meditation. #leadership #business #motivation #health #education #inspiration #wellness #mindset #coaching #mentalhealth #mindfulness #meditation #inspirational #courage #determination #running #peace #grateful #outdoors #living #climbing #backpacking #guides #trails #specifications #centralization https://www.milestonemind.com/blog/october-29-2018-mondays-leadership-meditation

Happiness. Seems like a word people are sick of hearing these days. Why? It's not something to grow indifferent on, it's about making sure you are preserving and fostering it, but we can make a critical error in how to do this, and what I reflect on this week in the leadership meditation.
