In this episode we speak with Dr Antonio Ocana who is a senior mental health professional. Listen to him as he explains how Contemplation and the Adios principles impact various circuits in your brain. He also talks about how the brain has its own physiological definition of feeling peaceful, just like you focus on peace of mind as the final outcome in the Adios method.

While our eyes and ears point outward physiologically, our attention also tends to tag along and stay outside most of the time. It is critical to bring that attention back so we can periodically stay within and have a constant dialogue with ourselves. Getting lost in the outside world is quite easy. You need a strong internal foundation to stay on course. Listen to this episode to think about this in detail

In this episode, we will go through a couple of practical reasons why Meditation may not be working for you. The details of your day at home and work matter a lot in these matters. Sometimes, that gets ignored which results in suboptimal results.

In this episode, we discuss why it is important for you to choose work that is aligned with your personal values, what matters to you and what makes you more peaceful.
A large number of people today are busy doing what they are not meant to do or what they don’t like doing. They choose work based on what most others are doing, or what pays best, rather than what is best for them. They work for the pay check at the end of the month. Doing this makes your life stressful and less fulfilling and it also does not maximize your potential.
Please listen to the episode and complete the Contemplation exercise at the end of the episode. It might help you improve your clarity with respect to the kind of work you wish to do or the kind of organization you wish to work with.
To check how healthy your work is for you today, please take the assessment on www.adiosworld.com. Please sign up for the free introductory 15 day email Contemplation program here.

In this episode of the Contemplation podcast, we discuss how each one of us has multiple personalities, multiple voices inside our head. All of these voices can pull you in different directions sometimes, vying for control.
The key is this.
Choose the voice that makes you more peaceful and avoid the voice that makes you less peaceful. Choose the voice that reduces your restlessness and avoid the voice that increases it. All the best.

In this episode, we discuss why business leaders should not blindly focus on going, or growing, fast but it is strategically more advantageous to mix fast with slow. You might feel guilty if you are not working or going fast all the time, but that is an illusion. It does not help you and makes your thought process shallow. On the contrary, you should feel guilty if you are only going fast all the time. Only fast is the past. Fast + Slow is the way to go.

I explain how without spending any extra time, you can combine your mental fitness - Contemplation - practice with your physical fitness routine, whether it is walking, running or working out at the gym. The more you think deeply, the wiser you will become, the more insights you will find about your work and personal life and the clearer your mind will be. Decisions will be fast, and satisfying. No stress.

In this exercise, you will reflect on the Values, Vision and Culture (VVC) of your organization keeping in mind your own Values and Vision and the five-tier Adios Organizational Strategy framework that we discussed. Please sit alone for some time and then take a Contemplation walk as you think about these things. Do this a few times over the next few days. These are not things you want to finish quickly. Give them a few Contemplation cycles to do justice. Keep listening to this audio during your Contemplation walks as you think deeply. Have a cup of coffee all by yourself as you think about this. And remember, ADIOS is a personal dialogue between you and yourself. Do not rush to share your thoughts with others in person or online. Keep them to yourself and put them back into your next Contemplation session. Go deep. Keep digging. All the best.

In this episode, we discuss why you should not define organizational success to mean only financial success, or building a large organization or a market leader. I also introduce the ADIOS five-tier organizational strategy framework to help you build your organization on the foundation of Values and Vision.

In this Contemplation exercise, you will use the ADIOS principle of the Twin Voices to analyze a few critical situations or questions in your life. ADIOS stands for A Dialogue In Objective Silence - it is a dialogue that you have with yourself objectively in silence. It is a conversation between you and yourself. You must have this conversation regularly.

In this episode, we will discuss why Contemplation is important and how it can help you. If you live in an environment that is noisy and distracting, you might keep your attention mostly outside which can hamper your ability to make the right decisions. You might be unduly influenced by what others say, do or think. In this episode, we will define a cycle to attain improved clarity of thought and peace of mind. Whenever you think you are confused or losing your way, remember this cycle and practice it, and you should be able to regain your clarity and calmness again. The Contemplation framework that I have created is called ADIOS - A Dialogue In Objective Silence. It is a dialogue that you have with yourself, objectively, in silence. Just you and yourself.

As you go through life, you must make various decisions - about choosing a partner, maintaining a healthy relationship, choosing what to work on, thriving at your work, leading others, becoming a role model parent, supporting certain ideologies and causes, etc. If you wish to live a fulfilling, purposeful and peaceful life, you need to make the right decisions. To make the right decisions, you need two things - a deep connection with yourself and your personal system that helps you make the right decisions. You can't have those if you are living your life largely focused on the outside. A regular habit of Contemplation on the right principles helps you look inward, get deeply connected with yourself and enables you to make the right decisions, which leads to lower stress and a more fulfilling life.
