  • The simple things we do each day don’t require much mental energy, and so, when we are doing them, we send our minds on to other things; mostly worry. We send them anywhere but where we are, this moment. Guess what happens then? You know. So how about giving our attention to the easy tasks, and in doing so, become calmer, mindful. Let’s talk about it.

  • Much of the world is on auto-pilot; just reacting to whatever shows up in the day. They don’t plan or contemplate, they just impulsively act on whatever feeling they have at the moment. There is another way, and it isn’t specifically about mapping out every part of your life. It’s as simple as setting intentions each day. Let’s talk about it.

  • You guessed it; I’m going to throw a little shade on society today…one thought in particular. It has to do with busyness. Specifically the misperception that the fuller your schedule is, the more value you have. I hate to say it (I really don’t), but that is a huge misbelief that is sapping your calm. Let’s talk about it.

  • I have talked about the people that may sap our level of calm, but there are many other things that can derail our peace as well. And it will be in our best interest to see what and where those things are; so we can find more serene alternatives. Let's talk about some of them today.

  • Some idioms or phrases have been around for decades for a good reason; as trite as they may sound, they are accurate. They resonate with us. The very title of this episode was a suggestion by my guide Bart…in those very words. I stopped and laughed when he first mentioned it…” You’re telling me to literally stop and smell the flowers?”…and the answer came back just like above. Cliche or not, it’s sound advice. I also have more. Come listen.

  • What would you do if, by some means, every time you said a word it would be the equivalent of 5 minutes exposed to radiation. Yeah, I know that is a weird scenario, but hear me out. You wouldn’t use that word right? Well, it may not be radiation, but some words do have the ability to cause stress, anxiety and even sickness. Let’s talk about it.

  • I know from personal experience, that sometimes when i am feeling anger it is because I am frustrated or displeased with something I have done. To that point, as I will talk about today, we will become calmer when we find out the real reason we are out of sorts, and stop projecting our ire onto other people or other things.

  • One of the benefits of being a meditator is spontaneously falling into moments of connection with the world around you. Such a moment happened to me when I was in Boston at the symphony. Today I talk about how the connection I experienced can be cultivated by anyone. And in the process, you not only become calmer, but infinitely more aware of love.

  • For me, I do equate silence with calm. But I do know that not everyone is the same. The important thing is to be thoughtful in choosing whichever suits you best. In order to experience calm, we have to be intentional in our decisions, and that includes welcoming silence or not. Let's talk about it.

  • I'm not a huge sports guy, but when I was younger, trying to figure out if I was, I heard many a coach say.."get your head in the game" (not just to me). Basically, it was a sterner directive to "be here now". Today, why don't we take that advice. Be in this moment and watch the world become visible.

  • I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again at some point in the future. The beauty of the world is invisible to us when our thoughts are so focused on the future, whether that’s worry or not. That goes for the past as well. When We slow down and bring ourselves to this moment we see the gifts that abound.

  • We all grow up with certain beliefs, and as we get older we see if those thoughts still have resonance for us. Today I talk about the themes that have existed throughout your life. To the point of calm, are they themes that create peace or challenges. Let’s talk about it.
