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!
Right Here! Right Now!
Attention! Attention! Primed to shape our reality and change our life
What if the way you experience the world isn’t determined by what happens to you — but by what your brain allows you to notice?
In this Season 5 premiere of Right Here, Right Now, we explore the Reticular Activating System (RAS) — the powerful attentional filter in the brain that shapes what reaches conscious awareness and what fades into the background.
By weaving together modern neuroscience, Viktor Frankl’s insight on the space between stimulus and response, and mindfulness practice, this episode reveals how attention is not just a mental habit — it is a force that shapes perception, identity, and freedom.
You’ll learn:
- How the RAS filters reality and influences what you notice
- Why repeated attention trains perception (for better or worse)
- How mindfulness helps tune the RAS toward what serves you
- How expanding the pause between stimulus and response gives you agency
- Practical ways to retrain attention and respond more intentionally
This episode is an invitation to slow down, tune your awareness, and recognize that where attention goes, life follows.
As we relaunch Right Here, Right Now for Season 5, this is our shared mission:
to tune our awareness, honor the pause, and respond with intention —
moment by moment.
Right here. Right now.
