028: Living As a Warrior Aug 16, 2017

Show notes

What comes to your mind when you hear the word ‘warrior’? What characteristics do you imagine a warrior embodies? Do you envision a buddhist monk, a samurai or something completely different? Do you view the term 'warrior' as an ego filled, muscled 'fixer' or a gentle savior? In this week’s episode, Host, Mike Domitrz welcomes CAST members Rick Clemons, Barry Moniak, and Darren Tipton to gain clarity on the multiple dimensions of being a warrior in today’s world. The quote that inspired this conversation is “To be a warrior is to learn to be genuine in every moment of your life. Realize that you do not possess basic goodness but that you are the basic goodness itself. Train yourself to be a warrior is learning to rest in basic goodness to rest in a complete state of simplicity. In the Buddhist tradition, that state of being is called egolessness.” — from the book by Chögyam Trungpa, Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior. Subscribe to the Everyday Mindfulness Show.

023: Good Enough Now with Jessica Pettitt Jul 12, 2017

Show notes

Have you ever made a judgment or an assumption about someone, and then beat yourself up about it because you held onto a belief that judging and assuming is wrong? Have you found yourself making up "stories" about people and situations that begin to frame your thoughts and your judgements? Judgments and assumptions are human processes with the purpose of making us feel safe and prepared. It is absurd to assume we are always correct about the stories we create. What if we gave ourselves a break and left room for edits in the story we wrote? How would that begin to build a truer story and a more human connection with others? How would our lives change if we recognized our judgments, and then left room for edits? In this special one-on-one interview, Mike speaks with keynote speaker and author of Good Enough Now, Jessica Pettitt, about how our actions can be mindful, if even messy, and how curiosity and generosity can edit the stories we make, making mindfulness part of the story we create. Subscribe to the Everyday Mindfulness Show. Key Takeaways: [1:17] Jessica shares her opinion about “mindfulness” and the concept of Good Enough Now. [6:18] Mike gets a lesson in mindfulness. [13:13] Recognizing our judgments and leaving room for edits. [19:30] How does mindfulness fit into our exclusions?
