Learner's Mindset - Right Here! Right Now!

And so today as promised, we will take a deeper dive into the masterpiece - “Think Again - The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know” by the insightful thought leader Adam Grant.
Today’s principles really lay the foundation of how our minds will tackle with new information - new thoughts - opposing ideas even. We will talk a bit about how our hearts play into the learning and unlearning processes.
We will outline what Adam presents as our "Re-Thinking Cycle" (Good) and our "Overconfidence Cycle" (Not So Good). We can help understand how to break the not so good cycle of overconfidence and reinforce the elements of the rethinking cycle.
Come on this journey - learning and growing - rethinking and unlearning...Right Here! Right Now!

Our Mind's Continuum of Mindfulness - Right Here! Right Now!

Here it is - The final episode of Season 1 of Right Here! Right Now! I am so excited and honored to have been able to share this practice and various insights of mindfulness with each of you.

Creating and contemplating this final episode has helped me grapple with the "Mindfulness Mindset" and how we can see how it can fit into our lives in a more practical way without getting too caught up in the constraints it may put on us - especially if we put too much pressure on ourselves.

A focus on healthy "mental time travel" and how we can better ourselves by not ruminating over the past or worrying about the future. I discuss a profound concept where we can practice being more mindful of our mindfulness - where we learn to notice how it becomes increasingly difficult to notice you are no longer in the present moment when you spend more time away from it; and when you are further in time from it.
Join us on this finale of the inaugural season of Right Here! Right Now!
