  • Pain is inevitable, and temporary, but suffering is optional. From time to time we are going to experience some form of pain, either in the form of mental, physical of spiritual. But it is only temporary, unless we choose to focus on it. Focusing solely on pain can lead to suffering.   Day 60 of 77-Day Mindfulness Journey    #77DaysofMindfulness  #mindfulness #choosejoy #succesfulmind

  • Being in the NOW avoids ANXIETY. Anxiety is the gap between the NOW and the THEN. If you are in the NOW, you can not be anxious, because your excitement flows immediately into present activity, which can lead to spontaneous and productive activity. Your brain cannot feel pleasure and pain at the same time. This is one of the main reasons to remain present and in the now. To help avoid anxiety.

  • Forgiveness can be a tricky word. Does forgiveness mean letting things and people off the hook and forgetting, or does it mean accepting and moving on, or does it mean letting go? To be mindful means understanding situations, thoughts and feelings, and finding ways to accept, validate and move forward. Our brains tend to get stuck in a negative mode of playing what-if games, and forgiveness can help set us free from this game.   But, starting with forgiving yourself is a first key. For example. Yesterday (Fourth of July) would have been my official 59th day of my 77-day mindfulness journey. Instead of creating my daily post, I spent the day cooking with my kids, and enjoying dinner with very special family members. An old version of myself would have looked at this oversight to my daily post as a complete failure, as if my entire 58 days prior meant nothing. But in reflecting, my choice was simple. I was present and enjoying my time with the people I love and care about. I forgave myself for my oversight. This is a simple example, yes, but one that could otherwise cause me to think negative thoughts and have me give up completely on my 77 day commitment. Instead, I accept, adapt and move forward.  Day 59 of 77-Day Mindfulness Journey #77DaysofMindfulness #mindfulness #forgiveness #success #moveforward #successfulmind #brainhealth #joy #wellbeing

  • Adaptability is Wisdom When I think of adapting, I think of how many remain rigid and stand firm in a view or position without relenting. Change is scary and hard, no doubt about that. But what good comes from being rigid?  When I think of the wisdom it takes to be adaptable, I think of a quote by Bruce Lee: Wisdom does not consist in trying to force the good from the evil but in learning to “ride” them as a cork adapts itself to the crest and troughs of a wave.   Day 57 of 77-Day Mindfulness Journey #77DaysofMindfulness #thinkingforsuccess #neurotip #mindfulness #successfulmind #compassionateleadership #compassion #successfulteams #growth #success #adapt #resilience #mindfulnessleadership #searchingforpeace #clarity #wisdom #leadership

  • So often ‘compassion’ is thought to be sweeping things under the rug, or letting people off the hook. Being HONEST is part of compassion and compassionate leadership. But that also means that honesty with compassion.  How? By asking the right questions and helping someone else explore a situation in an honest and caring way. Many times by asking questions and shedding light on a situation from different angles can help change the tone of a conversation, or help all parties understand better perspectives. Kind of like a flood light that shines in different angles.   Honesty is also part of compassionate leadership becuase it means you can about other people enought to tell them the truth.  Day 56 of 77-Day Mindfulness Journey #77DaysofMindfulness #thinkingforsuccess #neurotip #mindfulness #successfulmind #compassionateleadership #compassion #successfulteams #growth #success
