Zenlarge Show

Studies have shown mindful meditation to alleviate pain, cancer, heart disease, depression, and anxiety. It is routinely one of the top remedies doctors prescribe to their patients to relieve stress. But who has time to meditate? Our lives are so jam packed, we can't afford to sit around and "do nothing," right?

In today's show, I discuss how you can get the benefits of meditation without sinking a a bunch of time. These meditation practices are measured not in hours. Heck, not even in minutes! They are measured in seconds. And they are highly effective.

Topics covered include:

• the difference between mindfulness and mediation
• step by step instructions on performing short meditations
• how to use short meditations
  • for stress reduction
  • for better communication skills
  • for improving personal and business relationships 
• Do one breath meditations really work?
• But isn't it preferable to mediate for a longer period?

Shit happens. Life throws curve balls at everyone. We often have little control over our circumstances. We do, however, have 100% control over how we *respond* to our circumstances!

Antony Sammeroff joins me for part five of a new series, where we review the lessons within his personal development course, Surviving to Thriving. In today's episode, we talk about:

• how to take responsibility for your life
• why it's toxic to blame others
• trying to help those who aren't interested in your help

What would you give for a great marriage and a happy home? How much is it worth to avoid divorce?

Some of the key points from today's show:

• the prevalence of psychologically wounded people who are in denial
• how to begin the healing process for these wounds
• how we're not taught to properly grieve
• how to find the right partner
• the lack of informed support
• how these hazards impare your ability to be an effective parent, despite your best intentions

We go over all of this and more. Click the purple play button above and listen to our discussion.

Is your brain working for you or against you?

Our brains are complex organs. Sadly, they often work against us. If you don't understand how and why your brain does what it does, chances are it's working against you.

In today's episode, I have a conversation with Mary Shores, entrepreneur and author of Conscious Communications, Your Step-by-Step Guide to Harnessing the Power of Your Words to Change Your Mind, Your Choices, and Your Life. Mary is a brain science junky. She's delved through the science and has unlocked strategies that harness the power of the brain. With Mary's help, you can get your brain working for you instead of against you.

Mary combines science backed understanding with practical strategies and a friendly demeanor. Our conversation is both fun and informative. Click the purple play button above and give it a listen.
