• Feel your feelings, but I am much quicker to regulate. So if I do get emotional, I do cry, but because of mindfulness, I'm actually able to identify why I'm feeling that way and how I want to feel and take the next step that way. And so it may take you days to counteract that in the beginning, but now I can do it within an hour or less. Self-Care

• The book BREATH will teach you a lot about how we have not been taking care of ourselves and using this amazing tool we have, which is our breath.

• Focusing on what you need and what will help you be the best version of yourself, whether that is, I need to go to the gym more and get physically fit, or I need to take a walk. Maybe I need to do something that I enjoy like watching a movie or building a lego set, or traveling. It's focusing on what you need and that will help you be more successful.

• I can now realize when I am in a state of stress or anxiety. That is when I can do what I need to do to get out of that. I don't necessarily use breathing techniques. I just realize what anxiety or stress looks like for me and then I do things to delete the stress.

• Mindfulness has dramatically helped me to deal with my emotions. I am to give numerology turns on my 11 life path, which is emotional energy. I get extremely emotional about things, and one way I help to control those emotions is the gym. Another way is I learned to think about my thinking. As long as I can think about my thinking and talk to myself, I can keep it under great control.

• If you look at the word spirit, it actually comes from the Greek word spirit a, which means the breath. So that's our energy. God breathed the spirit into us, so not only is breathing important, but you want really good diaphragmatic breathing, with big inhales. It is also important to learn to strengthen your breathing. A lot of times, I'll just lay on the floor, I'll put a kettlebell on my belly button, and breathe. I want to be able to breathe really well because that's the most important thing when it comes to helping top-tier clients. So

• I've been bullied all the way up until the end of high school. That's when I got muscle. But in a way, growing up in the inner cities, and tough, rough neighborhoods, I dealt with bullies because a lot of times, it got physical. But I will say this, I've always had the gift of being mindful and present, even when I was a child. And so there's been plenty of times where I've gotten into situations where I realized that I need to let something go, or I need to just walk away, or I need to finesse my way out of there. That saved my life and kept me from getting hurt.  So

Move On Using Faith and Healing; David McClam

Tom Cronin, founder of the Stillness Project, talks about his thoughts on enlightenment, the success of his film and book, “The Portal”, and his plans for future retreats. Tom shares his perspective on enlightenment, emphasizing the importance of exploring the embodiment of spirituality and

enlightenment. He also discusses the changes in his life since his last appearance on the podcast back in 2021, including his focus on mentoring and coaching conscious leaders and training meditation teachers.

We also talked about microdosing and plant medicines. Tom explained that in Australia, they are still illegal and have class A drug status, which is interesting considering their potential role in supporting human experience. While Tom does not personally use plant medicines, he acknowledges their powerful and significant role in spiritual exploration.

Tom shared that he loves teaching meditation, running retreats, speaking, and mentoring people to help them solve problems and progress forward in their lives. He explained that he simplified his business model by focusing on what he loves and is good at, rather than what advisors and mentors told him to do.

• On the fourth of July, we were in Florida, where my father-in-law lives. We went out on his boat and there were a bunch of boats right on the beach. My wife is Puerto Rican and there was music and six boats. There were all these Puerto Ricans singing and dancing and having a great time. All of a sudden I began to recognize that emotionally, I was really beginning to miss Gabriel. That's when mindfulness kicked in.

• There's a neuroscientist that I'm listening to, that actually has an episode that just came out this last week, and it's like a two-and-a-half-hour episode on breathing. I'm certainly no expert, although I've been aware for some time that the way we breathe is incredibly critical.

• I never got bullied myself but I do have a recollection of times where I bullied others. Back in those days, it wasn't this thing where I honed in on one person and bullied them every single day for months or years. It wasn't that, but also I don't want to belittle it. Even one time could have been enough to impact that person's life forever.

• Mindfulness gives you a place to channel your emotions. Like if you're agitated or something's going on in your life, you just sit down. And it's almost like you're channeling your energy into that page into the materials, and you let it. When I was doing a lot of mixed media art journaling I found it helpful.

• I was not bullied, I was too tough. I was not the kind of kid that anyone was gonna start off. But I wasn't a bully either. I was a nice kid but I think that people that are bullied and people that bully are coming from the same route. It's a lack of confidence. It's a lack of feeling good about themselves.

• By being able to write, my emotions are important. Before, I didn't think It was important, but taking time out of your day adds you to your priority list. And hopefully, you get higher and higher throughout the day. So

• Breathing makes everything better, especially in stressful moments. Breathing makes people understand there is a huge connection between the mind and the body. And once you take a minute out of your day to do breathing exercises, you will be surprised how relaxed and how focused you become. So

• Mindfulness helps me acknowledge that my emotions are true and they are not separate. They're not difficult. They are not foreign. They're part of me and valid.
