Right Here! Right Now!
RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW! is a brand new podcast where we remind you that being present and mindful in each of our moments is the only way to truly be able to learn. And from LEARNING comes GROWTH! A true transformation into our most authentic selves. The mindset is that we must be present and looking for the lesson in what we are experiencing - day to day; moment to moment. And one of the primary purposes of learning and growth is to take us to places we did not think were possible and to prepare us for a challenge that will make us better human beings; or the lives of our families better; even to help our colleagues and those in our charge better. Sometimes the challenges are known - so many times the challenges are a bit of a surprise. As long as we see the challenge as an opportunity, we will learn from them and carry on to better places down a path lined with lessons and teachings. We recognize in this philosophy that we have the capacity - even the responsibility - to begin again - and your NEW beginning starts RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW!

The Science of Mindfulness - Right Here! Right Now!
Today we are talking about Mindfulness and the science that lets us know how it works and how we can understand it better so that it may work better for us. I will be sharing what I learned from Dr. Amishi Jha's new book - “Peak Mind - Find Your Focus - Own Your Attention - Invest 12 Minutes a Day”.
Amishi says in her book that “Mindfulness is the capacity to be PRESENT: to take in an experience without elaboration, judgment, or reactivity allowing us to absorb, learn and discern so much more clearly and effectively than we would otherwise.” This masterful definition set the stage for what compelled me to dive deep into this topic and to begin a practice of mindfulness to sharpen my mind.
And the mindfulness practice - being present in the moment - allows us to give each experience the attention it deserves. And when we do this we can live with a “Peak Mind” as Amishi puts it. The peak mind allows us to live fully in the face of all of our ups and downs, the joys and the sorrows, the pleasure and the pain. This mindset allows us to be more resilient - more adaptable.
