Mindfulness extends beyond being a buzzword into a practical, accessible tool for navigating life's challenges with greater ease and presence.
Alan Carroll, a public speaking coach with 50 years of spiritual practice, shares how creating space between thoughts transforms our relationship with emotions and enhances our ability to respond rather than react.
• Mindfulness lives in present time, while the ego lives in the past and future
• Creating space between thoughts allows us to observe rather than identify with our emotions
• The parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) counterbalances the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight)
• A simple breathing technique can interrupt anger patterns in just 10-12 seconds
• Daily practice of just five minutes with no expectations can begin transforming your relationship with thoughts
• Mindfulness doesn't negate human emotions but provides tools to experience them without drowning in them
• The "fifth element" of space is available to everyone, regardless of age or background
• Learning to "play the note of silence" alongside sound transforms communication
