Josh’s philosophy is the simplest terms is, “Seek the good.” We go in depth about what this means and how to apply this philosophy to every day life. Josh walks us through the “Spin the Clouds” meditation, which is a powerful way to soothe oneself and to ease emotions before they overwhelm us. If you or someone you know is facing challenging times, tune in to learn ways to ease emotions and shift to a perspective that will make life easier! What you’ll learn: - Seeking the good means looking at any situation and looking for the good even if it’s some tiny little thing, for the solution, for the way through. - How to do the “Spin the Clouds” meditation, a powerful way to calm your emotions. - By paying attention to an emotion as it surfaces, you may be able to soothe yourself before it escalates using the Spin the Clouds meditation. You can adjust your perspective and ease your emotional response. - Your amygdala (reptilian brain) operates in on/off. It does not reason. In any situation, when you feel your stomach clench (or other physical response), you have the ability to provide yourself with context, which can turn the amygdala off, so that your body will relax instead of going into fight/flight response. - You can take the third person approach with yourself…provide yourself with context and tell yourself that it will be OK because in most situations, it will be! - How a change of scenery can help quiet your mind and soothe you. - And so much more!

14 AUG 2023 · Have you created and do you live by your own definition of success? When Executive Coach Becca Pearce was a prominent CEO, she experienced a very public failure. Incredibly, this was soon followed by discovering she had a massive brain tumor, thankfully benign. In both situations, Becca worked hard to get back to being in charge, to getting back on the “success train” she had always been on. But after getting back to work, she was miserable. Becca recognized that it was time to create her own definition of success and to live by it. We talk about the lessons Becca learned and how she worked to redefine her life and to silence the mindcluck that had held her back. Are you feeling stuck right now? Do not miss this episode! What you’ll learn: - When you fail at something or make a mistake, the people who love you, will love you no matter what. They do not love you because of what you achieve, they love you because of who you are. Read that again. - You can write your own definition of success and live by it no matter what path you’re currently on. - Letting your emotions flow and then asking yourself why you feel angry, sad, frustrated, etc. gives you the opportunity to understand yourself better and to identify limiting beliefs which you have the ability to change. - When mindcluck gets loud…What is your mind telling you? Do you know the part of you that is offering this mindcluck? Did you know you can “retire” that part of you? - Pay attention to the voices in your mind when you are happy! How do they differ from mindcluck voices? By focusing on them, you can strengthen them. Neurons that fire together, wire together. - The next time you feel tense/stressed/stomach clench, pause, and tune in to ask yourself where is that coming from? - And so much more!

7 AUG 2023 · What do you believe about yourself? Join me for an inspiring conversation with Executive Coach, Brooke Dukes. A life-changing experience drove Brooke to recognize that her actions--putting her energy towards her work as a high level executive--were in direct contradiction to what she told herself she valued. Brooke shares her powerful approach of aligning your values, your behaviors and your plans to silence your mindcluck, add value in any situation, and create win-wins. We talk about the power that comes from being proactively vulnerable (telling someone how you feel, that you are hurt, tell them what you want). Learn how to shift from reacting in challenging situations to remaining calm and centered, and so much more! What you’ll learn: - When someone is coming at you with high emotions (anger, sadness, frustration, etc.), don’t answer in the same way—with reactivity. Do your best to answer with curiosity or if you are able to, with love. - In any situation, take a moment to reflect and align your focus, your self-talk and your physiology to empower yourself. - Discover/create your own mantra and use it to interrupt your mindcluck and to redirect your mind to an empowering thought. - Discover/create power moves…one you can do on your own and one you can do in the presence of other people (in other words, a more subtle move that no one is likely to notice). When you do this move, it re-centers you and connects you to your power (and will help calm reactivity you may feel). - In any situation, use the perspective of “How do I add value?” This will yield win-wins (as opposed to how do I get what I want). - Use curiosity (ask questions) which will give you additional insight and also give you a little time to pause and re-center yourself if needed. - And so much more!

31 JUL 2023 · Are you able to recognize the opportunities mindcluck offers? For a milestone birthday, life and weight coach, Lena Ehrenberg, booked a special hiking trip in France thinking this would be the perfect way to celebrate. Right off the bat, she was met with a huge challenge and found herself sobbing on a curb. Her mind was offering her serious mindcluck when some inner wisdom kicked in and gave her a choice she had to make in 10 seconds. Tune in to hear what happened! We talk about the power of recognizing mindcluck as a signal that there’s something to pay attention to, often something much deeper, that will ultimately lead to to opportunities for both personal growth and greater fulfillment. Join us and start using your mindcluck to empower yourself! What you’ll learn: - You can think whatever you want. Read that sentence again! - When you feel stuck, and mindcluck is holding you back, consider all of your options—there will always be many options. - Manifesting is not believing in something and then waiting for it to come to you, manifesting is opening mind and watching for opportunities you can take action on to create the results you desire. - Every time you push yourself, even if it’s only a tiny bit, if you can push through the mindcluck, you will reap the rewards of personal growth. - Recognizing and then questioning your mindcluck gives you the opportunity to approach any situation in an empowering way. - Mindcluck comes from the beliefs we have about ourselves. Mindcluck is just something you tell yourself. It is not fact. When you understand the belief (sometimes a deep-seated belief) behind the mindcluck, you have the ability to change it to one that serves you well. - And so much more!

24 JUL 2023 · Are you ready to foster lasting feelings of happiness? Join me for an inspiring conversation with Rob Dubin, an expert in happiness! Rob, his wife and some friends got caught in one of the worst blizzards in Colorado history and had been given up for dead—this was a major news story. They survived! They survived through their optimism and resilience. By focusing on solutions rather than focusing on the dangers, discomfort, etc., they kept their eyes on their number one goal…surviving! Rob and I talk about how to apply this perspective to the everyday kinds of challenges we all face to build both optimism and resilience. “The experience of our lives isn’t what happens to us, it’s how we think about what happens to us. Happy people think differently.” Finding meaning and purpose in your life in as many ways as possible will enhance your feelings of happiness. Join us and learn ways to focus your mind to foster lasting feelings of happiness. What you’ll learn: - When faced with a challenge in life, recognize the problem, but devote most of your time to thinking about solutions. - The more times you solve a problem in your life, the more your mind will know that you CAN solve whatever problem is before you. This cultivates both optimism and resilience. - One kind of happiness is in the moment, so to feel happiness, you need to be present in the moment and absorb that happiness while it’s there. The more you do this, the happier you will feel. - Do your best to suspend judgment of other people, which will help you get better at suspending judgment of yourself, and contribute to feeling happier. - You can use curiosity to help you suspend judgment…instead of judging, engage in wonder…I wonder why… this opens your mind to other perspectives about other people and about yourself. - Lasting happiness (eudaimonic happiness) comes from finding purpose and meaning in your life. There are many ways you can foster this lasting happiness in your day to day life! - And so much more!

26 JUN 2023 · Are you ready to learn practical ways to reduce your stress level? Paul Thornton, an expert in leadership, management and managing stress, shares his simple formula for effectively managing stress… If your Demands are greater than your Coping Skills, you get a Stress Reaction. D > CS = SR To reduce your stress, you can reduce your demands or increase your coping skills or both. We go into detail about the elements of the formula…demands (work, personal, etc.), coping skills (meditation, exercise, sleep, etc.), and stress reactions (insomnia, anxiety, physical symptoms, etc.)…as well as how this approach can be used by leaders/managers to help their teams. When feeling overwhelmed you may think you don’t have enough time to meditate, exercise, take a break, take a nap, etc., so instead of increasing time you put into a coping skill, you reduce it. That actually works against you! When you feel stressed, it is a signal that it’s time to increase your coping skills (and reduce your demands) so you decrease stress. Join us and start lowering your stress! What you’ll learn: - Noticing and identifying the demands on you will enable you to more effectively reduce them. Make a list and decide what can you cut out? - Figuring out the coping skills that work best for you to help you relax, and re-center is key. - By developing and regularly practicing your coping skills, you start with a mind that is more centered, and you will be able to handle more demands. - When super stressed, it is easy to think that you don’t have time to meditate, exercise, take a nap, do a relaxing activity, but that’s actually when you should do MORE of these things (increase your coping skills!). - Spending more time on coping skills will INCREASE your productivity. When you’re more productive, you knock out demands more easily (reduce demands and thereby reduce your stress). - Coping skills do not have to take a lot of time…a short meditation, a quick walk around the block or around your office or house, a quick fun conversation, a quick look through photos of people, pets and places you love, all of those will shift your mindset (and in the context of the formula, increase your coping skills). - And so much more!
