This podcast series is less about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or BJJ, and more about learning something new, getting miles outside of my comfort zone, and the willingness to totally suck at something. BJJ is the lens through which this experience is being shared.

Episode Description

Mindfulness and meditation can be used as tools in both our personal and professional lives helping us show up in the world as our best selves, remain present and focused in the moment, and most importantly, find some peace of mind in a chaotic world.

Guest series host Amy Woodall is the Executive Vice President of Sandler Training, Trustpointe, a performance improvement company.

We kick off this seven part series talking about the ways mindfulness and meditation empower us to show up in the world as our best selves, and bust some myths and misconceptions around the practices.

Mindfulness Minders

* Meditation and mindfulness help us become better communicators * The power to run your day is in your hands * Don’t put yourself in the position to have to defend your intentions * When you “don’t have time” is when you need the practice most

Recommended Practice

Get started Sit quietly for 5 minutes or find a guided meditation Notice your judgements, thoughts, and fears
