Reclaim Your Brain: Release Stress with Mindful Meditation
Episode 28 – The Level Up Edition

In this episode of the Mind Game podcast, we explore the impacts of prolonged stress, why our body responds the way it does, and delve into into an example of a meditation practice. We begin with an evolutionary perspective on how stress helped early humans survive and its negative impacts on modern health. We consider how chronic stress causes mental, physical, and cognitive issues, and how meditation can help mitigate these effects. The host shares her personal journey with meditation, including challenges like the ‘meditation detox period’ and the benefits she has experienced. The episode includes insights from Emily Fletcher’s Ziva meditation techniques and encourages listeners to consider meditation as a tool to improve energy, sleep, and overall mental clarity.

I’m excited to introduce you to my friend, Charlene G. Chubbs.  Our paths crossed over a decade ago and I appreciate the inspiring energy she brings to life.  In this episode, we go behind the scenes as Charlene shares her journey of personal growth, balancing multiple roles and the habits that have helped her to level up her life.  Whether it’s pursuing a Master’s degree in leadership to teaching yoga, to challenging herself to run a marathon, Charlene shares her story of personal growth.

Episode Summary

Prioritizing what’s on the now list to what will happen when the time is right.  Charlene discusses her transition to an empty nest and balancing the many roles of life.  Whether it’s teaching a yoga class, leading a team or challenging herself to learn French, Charlene shares her experiences and lessons learned on the journey.  We delve into her longtime passion for yoga, which began during her university days, and touch on the importance of breathwork, the challenges of maintaining a fitness routine, and the mental strategies she uses to stay motivated.

Key Topics:
-Transitioning to an Empty Nest: Charlene shares her experience of adjusting to life without her children at home and how it has allowed her to focus on personal growth and revisit different things on her list.

– Balancing Multiple Roles: Insights into how Charlene manages her responsibilities at work and as a yoga teacher while pursuing further education and personal goals.

– Passion for Yoga: We explore the origin of Charlene’s interest in yoga, how it has been a constant in her life, and her journey to becoming a yoga teacher.  We also discuss why it’s called yoga “practice”.

– Fitness and Running: We discuss Charlene’s training strategies for a half marathon, as well as, the mental strategies she uses to push through challenging moments. Because we know there will be challenging moments.

– Continuous Learning: Charlene’s commitment to lifelong learning, including her pursuit of a master’s degree with a focus on leadership.

– Reframing and Resilience: We touch on reframing challenges and maintaining resilience in the face of adversity.

My favourite quotation in part 1:

“You can only breathe right now, in the present moment, you can’t breathe in the future, and you can’t breathe in the past, so if you bring your attention to your breath, you are bringing yourself back to the present moment.”

Be sure to tune into part 2 to continue the conversation with Charlene.

Slaying the Dragons Within with Guest Sid Clevinger (Episode 24 Part 2)

In this episode of the Mind Game podcast, we continue our conversation with Sid Clevinger, co-founder of the Cycle Breaker Society and the brand new Cycle Breaker Show podcast.  We go behind the scenes focusing on transformation and overcoming limiting beliefs, referred to as ‘dragons’. Sid speaks about the importance of recognizing and taming these inner dragons rather than attempting to ‘slay’ them outright, emphasizing skill development for managing challenges. The discussion delves into the significance of embracing life’s journey, appreciating the steps towards self-improvement, and breaking cycles of negative beliefs to level up one’s life.

Sid reflects on his personal journey of breaking stress addiction, as well as, his mental health struggles, highlighting the vital lessons learned.

Key topics include the distinction between knowledge and wisdom, the power of maintaining a sense of adventure, and the benefits of being present and grateful.

This episode also touches on the potential of mentorship and personal growth, offering insight into the Cycle Breaker Society’s methods for aiding individuals through the ‘Rapid Rewire System’ and the ‘Seven Day Nervous System Reset program.

Sid reminds us to reconnect with nature, embrace life’s experiences, and continue to build your tool box of strategies to tame our inner ‘dragons’ so we can move forward.

Remember, as Sid pointed out, the moment you realize you can walk into the world fully aware of the challenges that exist, yet stay focused on your mission because you know you’ve done the work to break the cycle of limiting beliefs – the dragons may come but they will not stop you. That is the moment you walk through the door and create the life of your dreams.
