• How awareness leads you to the lessons you are meant to learn

• How to ensure your peace of mind
• Why awareness isn't simply about you
• How to bring yourself to this moment
• The relationship between awareness and gratitude

We go through life with blinders on, complete tunnel vision, only experiencing what is important to us.  Perhaps that's a big generalization but I think in many cases it is true.  The majority of people go throughout their days mindlessly, not understanding that they are part of a collective.  Without this understanding they miss a multitude of opportunities to become more calm, more purposeful.

Today I talk about becoming aware of the people around you, how they were brought to you and why it's important to connect with them.

• Why you need to interact with all people
• How judgment stops the process of connecting
• How people are gravitated to us
• How to see the lessons that are carried in each person you meet

Each of us at one time or another (some people consistently) have eaten impulsively.  Not only have they simply grabbed whatever was in front of them at the time but then they eat so quickly that they don't even taste the food.

Mindful eating is a solution to that problem.  With mindful eating you become aware of when to eat, what to eat and why you are eating it.  Today I talk about the benefits of mindful eating as well as how to perform it.

• The definition of mindless eating
• The benefits of mindless eating
• The process of how to eat mindfully

The very nature of mindfulness is awareness.  While that is a simple statement to make, it is not a simple practice.  The majority of people are unaware of their surroundings, the thoughts and energies of others, as well their own bodies.  For the remainder of this week I want to help you understand the best way to cultivate awareness for all the things I just mentioned.

• How to scan your body
• The importance of your physical awareness
• How awareness of your body leads to calm
