Today I talk about how the practice of mindfulness will lead beyond emotional intelligence and into integrity.

In this episode I talk about how mindfulness can help us with the limiting language we use with ourselves and help us avoid triggering the stress response with our words.

It’s practice Wednesday! And this week I’m giving you a wonderful meditation that will help form the super valuable mental habits of 1. Seeing the goodness in others, 2. Giving Goodness to others, and 3. Realizing with confidence and optimism that you have the transformative power to add Goodness into the world around you. The results of these habits will be that people trust, admire, and respect you on a higher level. Enjoy!

In this episode I talk about the importance of new learning, especially through reading. Did you know that the average CEO in America reads up to 60 books per year? Reading, especially non-fiction, creates new synaptic connections in the brain and promotes neuroplasticity. And reading about mindfulness and emotional intelligence will give you a point of reference for the practices we talk about in this podcast. Here are links to the reading and watching lists I share with my clients. Click it and bookmark it so you can check back from time to time, as I update it as I read new books that are applicable to this subject: READING LIST: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZHSi5ntT-m0YVP9u0dPBbY0vg5Ftq2osv7JGfJEb5W8 CURATED VIDEOS: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TisWu8aUnTv7bfSOUCdBL3SyLJSHri5GWhjj9sSwbDw.

In this episode I talk about how we are motivated by the physical feelings our emotions create and how practicing non-judging, moment to moment awareness of the positive, negative, and neutral experiences in our lives we reclaim the power of this motivation.

In this episode I talk about approaching every situation with an attitude of curiosity and openness that will lead to resilience and happiness. It will also allow you to see obstacles and failure as opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed.

In this episode I talk about an amazing Nerve in our bodies called the Vagus Nerve and how it is central to many health benefits. And I give you a practice that will ultimately result in a higher vagal tone and improved health. I also mention this TED Talk: https://youtu.be/fHoEWUTYnSo Check it out!

This is a fantastic meditation to gain insight into where our emotions reside within our bodies. Don’t feel discouraged if it seems hard the first time you do this one! Please stick with it and try it a few times.

In this episode I give you a really cool and wonderfully effective practice that will integrate your brain AND develop your self awareness. Enjoy!
