Effect On Emotions

  • I am an enneagram 6. I am on my head, and emotions scare me to death. I have big ones because I'm also an empath.
  • I learned from a counselor that my emotions are like a screen door. Allow the wind to blow through, and don't try to close the door; just let it blow through. If you don't, the door will come off its hinges, and you will have problems.
  • I see my emotions as waves. Sometimes, the waves are big, but the easiest way to survive a big wave is to stand there and let it hit you and then come back up.

Thoughts On Breathing

  • Box breathing is very helpful. I also get heart palpitations. One of the first YouTube videos I put out there is about how to manage the anxiety that I've had for years.
  • I often lie down and breathe. Box breathing is helpful, but I can also hyperventilate easily.
  • So I lay down, breathe straight from my belly, think about it, and count my numbers. It is amazing how quickly that calms my nervous system.

Bullying Story

  • I was the chubby kid. I grew up overseas, and my parents were missionaries. So, I went to an international School in Seoul, Korea. In the 1970s, obesity was not what it is now. We didn't understand it or have as much of it. Being the chubby kid, I was always picked on.
  • I was not bullied the way we see it happen in severe cases. A kid came behind me in 5th grade and stomped his feet as if I was shaking the ground as I walked. He was much smaller than me, so I turned around and leveled him.
  • In a situation like that, it would have been nice to have had some mindfulness and to be able to say this is his issue, not mine. But at 10 years old, you don't have that.

Effect On Emotions

  • Since I've coached so many people, I feel like I've learned the skills to be able to automatically go there. Obviously, when it comes to personal relationships like marriage, everything's a little bit heightened. With friends, you can operate in one world. With parents, siblings, your wife, your husband, you're needing to set a different skill set and have boundaries. In business I can handle emotions very calmly.

Thoughts On Breathing

  • When I was teaching acting, breathing was definitely an element of it. Many times I will find myself not breathing enough. I will say to even clients when they're going in. Let's say they're auditioning for a big series when they're actors.
  • It is important that you actually shift the other person's breathing. I found that if you're intentional about going into any meeting, if you can shift the other person's breathing within the meeting, you've connected on a whole different level.

Bullying Story

  • I've seen a lot of kids that have been bullied in the process. I had one actor whose friends at school did not appreciate his acting and they would gang up on him and make fun of him because he was not playing sports.
  • We had to come up with a plan. He ultimately had to be removed from the school he was attending and move to another school where he could be in a creative arts program.

Drop Guilt?

Monday May 20, 2024

Monday May 20, 2024

Do you believe you need to drop guilt? Do you feel guilty often, and do you think those feelings of guilt might be holding you back? Let’s talk about guilt. Guilt is defined as feelings of deserving blame, especially for imagined offenses or from a sense of inadequacy: self-reproach. Guilt may also be a feeling of deserving blame for offenses. We can feel guilty for various reasons, including sleeping too much, not providing, not being successful enough, feeling inadequate, or not earning enough money. Stay tuned for a conversation about guilt.

Suggestions about how to deal with guilt are discussed in this episode. Do you feel your life would be better if you could drop guilt?

Do you find yourself feeling guilty much of the time? Could those feelings of guilt be holding you back? Let’s talk about guilt.

1/ A Genuine Mistake

  • When you've made a mistake, you may feel guilty.In this case, you have to think about what it means to be human. Do you expect yourself to be superhuman?
  • Do you believe when you make a mistake, it is not excusable? Thinking about it this way, you will realize that making mistakes is part of being human.
  • Consider how you can move forward and not make the same mistake again. Think briefly about what led to the mistake, but don’t overthink it.
  • When you have worked through the thought process, move on to the point where you can consciously decide to let go of the guilt and not entertain feelings of guilt about this issue anymore.

2/ When You've Done Nothing Wrong

  • If you determine that your guilt is unjustified, make a conscious, active effort to let go of it.
  • Avoid taking on other people’s guilt for them. It enables them to repeat their mistakes and causes you to suffer unnecessarily.
  • Conflict resolution skills can help you if you’re having trouble letting go. Keep listening to this episode, but remember to seek a knowledgeable conflict resolution coach. This can help you avoid internalizing guilt that isn’t yours.
  • When you meet with conflict, be more assertive and stand up for yourself. Don’t apologize when you don’t need to to end the conflict. Like I said earlier, make a conscious effort to let go of your guilt. Remember that letting go of the guilt is the way to move forward. In this episode, I will talk about the Sedona Method as a way to let go of the guilt if you’re having trouble.
  • Back in 2019, I interviewed Aaron Hunnel. The episode was about using mindfulness to let go of guilt and shame. You can listen by going to www.MindfulnessMode.com/191

3/ Guilt For Others

  • Some people feel guilty over the actions of others.
  • If you’ve figured out that your guilt is not justified, you can go ahead and do what you need to do to let go of that guilt.
  • Some people take on other people’s guilt. Doing this will keep you from feeling calm and relaxed because you have little or no control over other people's actions. Make up your mind to stop feeling guilty for others.
  • You're in the right place if you’re wondering exactly how to do that. You’ve identified this issue, so now you're much closer to letting it go.
  • Hold a pencil in your hand out in front of you. Look at the pencil. Decide to let it go. Decide to drop it. Then, drop it. Did the pencil fall, or are you still holding on to it? We can decide in an instant to drop the pencil. That is the same with guilt. You can decide to let go of it or to continue to grip onto it. That is the basis of the Sedona Method.

Summary

  • Today, I’ve touched on some aspects of guilt and how it can hold you back without realizing what’s happening. You can learn a lot more about how guilt holds you back. The best way to do this is to study your own thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes. As I mentioned, journaling is one way to do this. Meditation is another way.
  • I strongly recommend meditation if you don’t already have a meditation practice. Get started by making a commitment and spending just two minutes a day. I’ve devoted entire episodes to meditation so I won’t go into more detail here, but I can tell you this simple practice has helped many people. I’ve interviewed a lot who will tell you this very fact. I hope this insight into guilt has been meaningful for you

Emotions and Breathing

  • Mindfulness helps me remember to breathe. I breathe out all the bad stuff, squeeze it out of my lungs as if my lungs are a sponge. All the bad stuff like the grief, anger, frustration, and overwhelm.
  • I try to remember to do it now when I'm awake in the middle of the night and something's bothering me.
  • I try to inhale all the good stuff like joy, comfort, grace, and grit, if that's what's needed. I inhale determination, strength, and confidence. Then I breathe out again whatever bad stuff is there, like fear and insecurity. Get rid of it, get rid of it, get rid of it.

Mindfulness To Succeed

  •  You just have to take things one piece at a time. You need to break things down and say what needs to happen today.
  • If that's going to happen today, what's going to happen before lunch. And if that's going to happen before lunch, what do I need to be doing right now.
  • Pay attention to immediate details. A lot of fire fighting. Focus comes with the size of the fire, I guess.

  • My meditation teachers

Effect On Emotions

  • Being mindful of emotions is crucial—it's an inside-out process. Staying present is key; mindfulness helps me do that. Many people avoid emotions, but staying present lets me truly feel and understand them.
  • Mindfulness reveals nuances; what seemed like one emotion may be another. By leaning into emotions, I gain deeper self-awareness and empathy for others. It's about feeling and understanding, which mindfulness facilitates beautifully.

Thoughts On Breathing

  • Breathing is a powerful tool—it triggers the sympathetic nervous system, helping us calm down, a technique I often employ as a yoga instructor.
  • Lengthening the exhale is key; it shifts us into the calming parasympathetic system naturally. Breath work offers versatile solutions; a few deep breaths anywhere can work wonders unnoticed.
  • In tense situations, like confronting a bullying boss, breathing can center and calm us, improving our ability to handle adversity.
  • True peace isn't about a peaceful environment but finding calm within chaos. Even amidst turmoil, maintaining inner peace is possible through centeredness and groundedness, a skill accessible to all through mindful breathing techniques.
    Bullying Story
  • Growing up, I faced bullying from adults because of my intuitive nature. They accused me of plagiarism when I used my intuition to complete homework.
  • Despite doing my best, I was always in trouble at school. Over time, I realized that bullies were often in pain and disconnected from their true selves.
  • Mindfulness taught me to respond with compassion and transparency, guided by intuition. Remembering our divine essence makes it harder to be bullied or to bully others. Though it's not easy to turn the other cheek, mindfulness helps me refrain from reacting impulsively, denying bullies the reaction they seek.
  • It's about understanding my emotions and responses, even in the face of adversity.

  • Jesus The Christ

Effect On Emotions

  • Mindfulness has trained me to recognize that my emotions are just like clouds. I don't have to let them hook me. I don't have to let them pull me into the mire.
  • If I just watch them, they will pass. I don't allow them to take me under. They'll move. And that ability allows me to stay in that steady position of peace that's essential to the intuitive process. This skill helps me teach people how to be a visionary superpower.

Thoughts On Breathing

  • Breathing holds importance. We must actively engage in breathing. As a swimmer during my formative years, the ability to breathe was essential. Breathing in swimming is characterized by order and regulation. It's deep and deliberate.
  • I observe that when I'm mindful, my breathing follows a harmonic, coherent, and ordered pattern. Conversely, when I'm not mindful, I cease to breathe consciously.
  • Thus, I often find that to enhance my intuition, I must regulate my breathing. It resembles the rhythmic pattern of swimming: inhale, exhale. I visualize myself swimming, which aligns me with an ordered coherence, granting access to intuition.

    Bullying Story

  • Growing up, I faced bullying from adults because of my intuitive nature. They accused me of plagiarism when I used my intuition to complete homework.
  • Despite doing my best, I was always in trouble at school. Over time, I realized that bullies were often in pain and disconnected from their true selves.
  • Mindfulness taught me to respond with compassion and transparency, guided by intuition. Remembering our divine essence makes it harder to be bullied or to bully others.

Meditation Themes

  • In crafting my meditation podcasts, I often tailor themes to meet specific needs within my audience. Through careful observation of what resonates most, I've developed niche shows that cater to distinct groups.
  • One standout is “Meditation for Moms,” a collection designed to support mothers through the unique challenges they face.
  • I've also honed in on another vital area with “Panic Attack Meditations.” Recognizing the demand for guidance during moments of intense anxiety, I created a dedicated space for these meditations.
  • It's incredibly rewarding to hear from listeners who found solace and support precisely when they needed it most. These niche themes allow me to make a meaningful impact and connect with individuals on a deeply personal level.

What's Next?

  • As our established network celebrates its sixth year and 140 million downloads, I'm driven to expand our impact further. With gratitude for our 4 million monthly downloads, I'm committed to reaching even more women.
  • Marketing efforts continue to broaden our listenership, ensuring accessibility to our content.
  • I'm also deeply invested in a significant project: creating monthly physical journals. These journals will feature themed prompts and complement meditations and poetry, facilitating self-reflection and growth.
  • Meditation and journaling are equally powerful tools for self-awareness, and I'm excited to offer this resource to our audience. By empowering women to delve into self-inquiry, I aim to support them in crafting lives aligned with their true desires.

Words of Advice

  • My advice centers on mindfulness and self-awareness. When we truly listen to ourselves and honor our needs, the noise of expectations and opinions fades away. Embracing courageous action aligned with our true desires leads to fulfillment. Prioritizing mindfulness allows everything to fall into place. I'm grateful for the opportunity to share this wisdom, knowing it resonates with our shared passion for helping others become more mindful.

Effect On Emotions

  • Mindfulness is the starting point for emotional intelligence. Life is 10% about what happens and 90% about how you respond. Once you become aware of how you're feeling, you can control how you respond.

Thoughts On Breathing

  • Some of my favorite meditations are breathwork meditations. I feel like it's very calming and relaxing to do this breathwork.
  • It centers you and brings you back to the present moment. It's really a gift.
  • It makes me feel so grateful for this breath. I'm grateful for every single breath that I get to experience.

Bullying Story

  • In reference to bullying, kids can be very harsh and cut-throat. I was bullied quite a bit as a kid.
  • I think more education and awareness around the fact that we all struggle with feelings of worthiness is necessary.
  • A lot of times, bullying comes from the simple fact that we can tear someone else down to feel better about ourselves.

  • My Muslim friend Enis Oko

Effect On Emotions

  • My mindfulness practices have transformed my thoughts in my heart mind. That includes thoughts and emotions. This is the raging fire of love thing. I think we need to cultivate love for people who are different from us.
  • That means moving our emotions in a favorable way towards people who are different. And it means giving up our fear and learning to overcome our fear with love.

Thoughts On Breathing

  • I do not have any thoughts to share on breathing. I am too ADD. I have tried it. I know it's good for me, and I do it for a while, but then I'm off into something else.

Bullying Story

  • One of my first good friends in the Islamic community is a well-known philosopher who is on television a lot. In Turkey, religion gets on television a lot. It's involved in a lot of conversations that they have. Sometimes it's just religion, or sometimes it's on other topics, and they want a religious perspective on it. He has become a major media figure and has millions of followers.
  • I thought it was opportune for me to become acquainted with him as I was trying to build bridges between Muslims, Christians, and Jews.
  • Then I went to a conference one time. I flew a long way to get there to give a talk. He didn't come to my talk. He had given a talk the previous day and got mad at some people. He came at the end, and he gave a speech at the end that had nothing to do with my talk. He just denounced all the people he was mad at from the day before.
  • I turned to my best Muslim friend there and asked what he was doing. He said he was getting back at people from the day before then. I just looked around, and there were hundreds of people there. I was probably the only non-Muslim, the only non-Turk. There were hundreds of people there. I could see people rolling their eyes. I talked to a few more people, and I just figured out, because there were other clues, that he was a bully.

Effect On Emotions

  • My mindfulness goes back to prayer. When I sit down and I meditate or pray, I am struggling for the most part.
  • When I take the time to sit down, close my eyes and pray, that's where I feel my stress alleviated and I can start getting everything under control.

Thoughts On Breathing

  • Getting into the cold shower is still uncomfortable, but I'm a little bit more used to it now. When I first got in, with the cold in the dead of winter here in Utah, the water was really cold.
  • It was long, deep breaths, very frantic at the beginning. I recognized that I was getting better. Those frantic breaths gradually became a little bit slower, slower, slower.

Bullying Story

  • I was blessed growing up. I got along with pretty much everyone as a kid, didn't matter your race, your religion, or your orientation. I can get along with pretty much anyone.
  • I do want to share a story with someone I call my brother these days.
  • His name is Dawson. We went to middle school together. I met him in my 6th-grade year. Dawson was a weird kid. His dad was a lot older than the rest of our parents. Dawson grew up just like his dad. He grew up fishing and going boating, doing outdoorsy activities. I like all those things, but he took them to an extreme. That's all he could talk about.
  • He would run around during recess and act like he was driving a boat. Dawson was an interesting guy. Dawson was the odd one out. He sometimes felt like he didn't have anyone to turn to.
  • At the time, in Middle School, you do not want to be best friends with the guy everyone thinks is weird. I was always nice to him. But I was never, like Dawson eat lunch with us or hang out with us.
  • Then one day I saw Dawson and his dad sitting right behind me at my church. Today he's one of my best friends. He lives in Idaho now, but I talk to him every single week.
