YOU WERE BORN TO THRIVE - PAIN AND PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS SOLVED

POD – EVERY DAY STRESS MANAGEMENT RIDING THE WAVES

Has life knocked you down? A huge every day benefit of a mindfulness practice is gaining the tools and techniques that will allow you to stop fighting against the waves of life that are knocking you down and learn to ride them with style and grace. In this video post I share how my POD has helped me and can help you to gain the ability to be resilient in the face of life’s tough times.

1
00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:02,000
Mindfulness practice of the day.

2
00:00:02,000 –> 00:00:04,000
Stress management, riding the waves.

3
00:00:04,000 –> 00:00:06,000

4
00:00:06,000 –> 00:00:08,000
One of the biggest fallacies that

5
00:00:08,000 –> 00:00:10,000
I had to overcome was

6
00:00:10,000 –> 00:00:12,000
this notion that my

7
00:00:12,000 –> 00:00:14,000
daily practice, my meditation and my mindfulness

8
00:00:14,000 –> 00:00:16,000
training and all of this other stuff

9
00:00:16,000 –> 00:00:18,000
was going to somehow make all my problems

10
00:00:18,000 –> 00:00:20,000
go away. And that’s just not

11
00:00:20,000 –> 00:00:22,000
the case. What my daily practice is

12
00:00:22,000 –> 00:00:24,000
done, it taught me how

13
00:00:24,000 –> 00:00:26,000
to ride the waves.

14
00:00:26,000 –> 00:00:28,000

15
00:00:28,000 –> 00:00:30,000
You know, life…life has happening. It’s going to come at us

16
00:00:30,000 –> 00:00:32,000
and there are so many things that are

17
00:00:32,000 –> 00:00:34,000
beyond our control.

18
00:00:34,000 –> 00:00:36,000
And you know, a lot of times what happens is…

19
00:00:36,000 –> 00:00:38,000
the analogy I like to use, you know is

20
00:00:38,000 –> 00:00:40,000
we’re out there walking on the beach and we’re not

21
00:00:40,000 –> 00:00:42,000
particularly paying attention. And then all of a sudden

22
00:00:42,000 –> 00:00:44,000
you know, big riptide comes and grabs us

23
00:00:44,000 –> 00:00:46,000
and takes us out to sea

24
00:00:46,000 –> 00:00:48,000
we’re sitting their gasping for breath and

25
00:00:48,000 –> 00:00:50,000
trying to figure it out. You know then we

26
00:00:50,000 –> 00:00:52,000
somehow fight, we’re struggling and maybe

27
00:00:52,000 –> 00:00:54,000
find our ways back in only to stand up

28
00:00:54,000 –> 00:00:56,000
and BOOM get hit with the big wave

29
00:00:56,000 –> 00:00:58,000
and the whole process starts over.

30
00:00:58,000 –> 00:01:00,000
And that’s life. You know,

31
00:01:00,000 –> 00:01:02,000
life is going to throw thing at us.

32
00:01:02,000 –> 00:01:04,000
And it’s

33
00:01:04,000 –> 00:01:06,000
not a matter if it’s a matter of when.

34
00:01:06,000 –> 00:01:08,000

35
00:01:08,000 –> 00:01:10,000
And my practice doesn’t make those

36
00:01:10,000 –> 00:01:12,000
waves, those riptides go away.

37
00:01:12,000 –> 00:01:14,000
But it’s giving me tools

38
00:01:14,000 –> 00:01:16,000
that allow me not to

39
00:01:16,000 –> 00:01:18,000
struggle.

40
00:01:18,000 –> 00:01:20,000
So now instead of

41
00:01:20,000 –> 00:01:22,000
fighting that riptide or fighting those

42
00:01:22,000 –> 00:01:24,000
big waves, I’ve got tools and

43
00:01:24,000 –> 00:01:26,000
techniques that allow me to cruise on

44
00:01:26,000 –> 00:01:28,000
out with that riptide

45
00:01:28,000 –> 00:01:30,000
and gain my baring and it catch

46
00:01:30,000 –> 00:01:32,000
the wave back in and ride

47
00:01:32,000 –> 00:01:34,000
that wave. And it’s not

48
00:01:34,000 –> 00:01:36,000
always an enjoyable process, I mean it

49
00:01:36,000 –> 00:01:38,000
takes effort, but I’m no longer fighting.

50
00:01:38,000 –> 00:01:40,000
It doesn’t change

51
00:01:40,000 –> 00:01:42,000
your circumstances, you’re still not in a place you

52
00:01:42,000 –> 00:01:44,000
want to be and it’s still

53
00:01:44,000 –> 00:01:46,000
painful at times.

54
00:01:46,000 –> 00:01:48,000
But there is a big difference

55
00:01:48,000 –> 00:01:50,000
between being in the middle of that

56
00:01:50,000 –> 00:01:52,000
crazy moment with a sense

57
00:01:52,000 –> 00:01:54,000
of control,

58
00:01:54,000 –> 00:01:56,000
with a sense of

59
00:01:56,000 –> 00:01:58,000
being able to not necessarily

60
00:01:58,000 –> 00:02:00,000
dictate what’s going to happen next,

61
00:02:00,000 –> 00:02:02,000
but to recognize

62
00:02:02,000 –> 00:02:04,000
you’re on top of it all.

63
00:02:04,000 –> 00:02:05,000

64
00:02:05,000 –> 00:02:07,000
And that not necessarily get beat up.

65
00:02:07,000 –> 00:02:09,000

66
00:02:09,000 –> 00:02:11,000

67
00:02:11,000 –> 00:02:13,000
