Show Notes:
- When you make a mistake and shame yourself it shuts down the learning centers of your brain.
- You get stuck in the habit patterns you’re trying to change.
- Self-compassion releases dopamine which turns on the learning centers of the brain and activates motivation.
- It gives you the strength and courage to move forward.
- A failed habit is just learning ways that don’t work for you.
- Whatever you practice grows stronger.
- It is natural for your mind to wander.
- The key is discipline and compassion.
- They go hand in hand together.
- Mindfulness is a way of being present and focusing moment by moment.
- Mediation is the exercise or practice you do to train your mindfulness.
- Mindfulness has a lot of great benefits like reducing stress, strengthening your immune system, and improving your sleep quality.
- Mindfulness can decrease bias and increase decision-making and compassion.
- The first step to meditation practice is knowing your intention.
- Why are you doing it? Why is it important?
- The second thing is knowing when you are going to do it.
- She recommends doing it first thing in the morning or right before bed.
- The third thing is to set ridiculously unambitious goals.
- Start small and meditate for a minute or five. Then work up to more.
- Finally, be kind to yourself.
- Recognize that you can begin again in any moment.
- Adjust, pause, contact your body and mind, and begin again.
- Know that there is a science behind mindfulness.
- It’s never too late to change.
- Begin.
- Practice makes change.
Shauna Shapiro’s Recharge Round
- What habit do you think has led to success in your life? Shauna’s biggest habit is the ‘Good Morning, I Love You’ practice. She wakes up, puts her hand on her heart, and treats herself with kindness.
- If you had one do-over, what would it be? She would’ve stated how important it was to be on her own team and been a friend to herself sooner.
