What does leadership

have to do with innovation,

And why is it so important?

If you're a business leader,

and by business leader I

mean an entrepreneur,

a solopreneur,

a person just aspiring to be a business leader,

you might be the head of a department,

a manager,

a vice president, it doesn't matter,

Right? But if you are

somebody that's in a leadership position

or wanting to be in leadership position...

Innovation is

so important.

And the reason is because we live in a world

where everything is changing so fast

all the time and you know that already

I don't need to tell you that.

And if you can't figure out how

to manage innovation

or how to be the spark to

innovation,

then you are going to be

left behind as

a leader.

So, that's why the connection between

self-awareness, leadership,

and innovation is so important.

In this video I'm going to be

talking about that connection between self

awareness,

leadership, and innovation.

This is a part of a series

of videos that I'm doing on

all of these topics.

If you haven't watched the other ones go ahead

and do that and come back to this video.

I'm Nicole Wipp

and this is Healthy Success 101.

Where smart success is all about

avoiding burnout and overwhelm.

So, now I want to just really quickly

talk about how self-awareness connects

to innovation

and leadership, and this is just more

of a take away that I want all of you to really

think about this going forward.

So,

you know we are very

interested in diversity

in this room, right?

Anybody not interested in diversity?

Because if that's the case please leave.

We are all interested

in diversity. Diversity is

important to us,

fundamentally.

But there's many different types of diversity,

right?

Diversity comes in many different forms,

and one of the different forms

that it comes in is conative diversity.

What we see a lot of times,

especially in mature organizations,

I go and work

in health care organizations

or auto companies or things like that,

I see that a lot

of times what happens is people hire

people that are Conatively

similar to themselves, because

going back to that slide where I said the 25,

50, 25 percent... So,

if I am the kind of person

that loves ideas

and I really get excited about ideas,

and you're coming in and you're like,

"Yeah, but you can't do that because

dah dah dah,"

I feel that that's a conflict, and I also,

I don't feel like you get me

and I don't know if I like you that much.

So,

I might not be inclined to hire you.

Right?

And then I get somebody that's all on fire,

and I want to hire you.

Right? Or vice versa.

Right? So, you might be somebody that's

like, "OK, this is the way we

do things here," And then you have somebody

that comes in and says I have all these great

ideas about how things can change.

And you're like,

"Whoa!" You know?

So, what happens is we tend to hire people

that are conatively,

their instincts are similar to ours.

But when that happens,

and now we're trying to engage

in innovation, we're trying to engage

in ideas, and change things up...

We're getting ideas, methods, approaches,

and problem solving patterns that are

similar to the ones that we would be coming

up with.

How helpful is that?

We want to have conative

and affective synergy,

we want to have synergy of these things

so that we can have these

different ideas, methods, and problem solving

patterns, and approaches.

And this is where when everybody

has self-awareness around that,

everybody understands where their own conative energy lies,

and where those of the people that they work with lies, and where their role

is in this innovation process,

or how, what they bring to the table.

Now, when we work

with innovation teams we see a lot

less of this blocking

pattern that tends to occur in

innovation processes.

And so if you are the type of person

that wants to be seen as an innovative

leader,

or you are engaged in

creation of innovation,

just remember this,

that you have to have people around

you that are very, very different.

In fact,

every single time I do

a presentation I have a team member that is

conatively exactly the opposite

of me.

I make her go through it

and she tells me all the things that are

wrong with what I have to say,

and every single time I get mad at her,

but it's a fun

mad,

but I do it because

she's going to tell me what people in

the audience that are like her are going to hear,

and how they're going to hear it, not in the way that I was intending.

That's hugely important to me as somebody that wants to

deliver value to you.

Morning Conversations with Jim Self and Roxane Burnett - Me And We Bubbles - Duration: 9:48.

Good morning. Good Morning. So last time we talked about the difference between emotions

and feelings and then through the conversation we started talking about

lonely loneliness versus being alone so I want to kind of continue that. Yeah

this is a this is a tough topic because my observation is the vast amount of

people are lonely. Mm-hmm. And I think lonely a lot of times is we have

expectations about what should be happening what marriage should be like

what relationships should be like and

and somehow it doesn't all gel it doesn't connect and when I look at

people there's lots of people we know and do they're really outgoing they're

laughing a lot and then they commit suicide.

Right. You know it's it's like how's that possible? They have everything. They have

everything in terms of what appears to be everything. But somehow or another the

sense of internal satisfaction internal connection doesn't seem to be there. You

know and and I understand that I you know in my reality growing up there was

points in time in my high school days where I had friends and there were

points and times in when I was in politics you know elected official and

boy I had lots of room to have all kinds of connection with people and it was and

yet it was really lonely. You know there was places where I would stay home on a

Saturday night and read a book everybody thought I was in one of six different

places so but so how do you make sense of lonely to a great extent? One of the

things that I noticed particularly in relationships that we get relationships

somewhat confused and all lumped together and what it should be and you

and I have talked about this and played in this for years there's really kind of

three bubbles that if they're defined it seems to help there's a me bubble there

is a you bubble and there is a wee bubble. And they all have different

characteristics and components to them and a lot of times we get them very

confused we think you should be taking care of me. Or this is what a

relationship is, this is what a marriage is and and and my times I was the very most

lonely in my life was when I was married. Not not to you of course. Of course. But

when another marriage it was I was just very lonely and and I realized once I

learned about bubbles that there was no me bubble. Yeah, no me buble. There was no me bubble and

that's where I think a lot of times that loneliness happens is I have

expectations that you should be taking care of me or they should be doing this

and if they do this then therefore I would be happy. Or that I have the

expectation that I'm the person in the relationship to take care of the other

person. Sure so there's lots of you know assisting being nurturing being kind to

that's that's different than taking care of. But this space of bubbles is really

important so what does your me bubble look like and my me bubble has no

relationship to your you bubble. You know I like X and you don't have any

interests in X at all so when X is being demonstrated as my thing what happens

is it gets dragged into a we bubble where the other person says that's a

strange thing you're doing that's a weird thing you're doing and so all of a

sudden I stop doing my X and then you stop doing your Y and then pretty

soon we bring this down to some fictitious common denominator

where neither of us are doing what we expected. And there's a level of I think the

word is codependency -Codependency sure- that's you you are all I have.

Yeah and -There's no me -and you're not making me happy you're not doing what I want so it

gets very convoluted in how we anticipate relationships with other

people and consequently this word lonely comes into play quite often. But let's

talk about bubbles for a minute so I like X and the way that we've worked out

bubbles a lot of times you don't care for X at all -bicycling -yeah so bicycling is

not your thing and I like to go out and ride 30 40 50 miles and come back and I

enjoy myself. The way that we've related to that it's

like in terms of some of your gardening things I like gardening but -Or my dance class -or your

dance class better example so the way we've worked that out is I get really

happy and excited when you have a great day of dancing. I'm not interested in

that level of dancing but when you come back and say I did this I was really

excited I had so much fun I am happy. Yeah. You know we would take that a

little further into one of the distortions we've talked about in life

is this concept of loving somebody. And so I love you well I love you in how

most people say that is I put my love over there but in real terms when you're

happy I smile. Yes. When you're unhappy I don't smile and so if I can do something

that makes you smile then I feel good. Yes. And so in a way the

more appropriate expression is I love me when I'm with you and so why would I

beat you up and punish you and abuse you and insult you as happens and lots

of relationships -Cuz it feels yucky in your space when you do that. It feels terrible

I don't like me I'm emotion, I'm frustrated I am

in an emotion expressing something that's making you feel bad or put down.

So that space of I love me when I'm with you it gets really interesting because

if I can do something to make you laugh I feel good. Right. At the same time if I

can enjoy myself and come back and say boy I just had this great bike ride and

your response is gee I'm so excited that you're having a good time -Yeah -that's a

pretty balanced type of relationship. There are other things that are in the

we space that we don't in bring bicycling in or we bring dancing into

that space and in that we space I again don't have expectations or our

expectations are more clearly defined. This is what our we space is. Well and when

we do a we thing we verbally a lot of times say this is a we thing. Yeah.

And that and that helps us identify this bubble right just like when I do my dan-

I do my dancing and I go to see my trainer this is me time. Exactly. And and

that helps me in my mind identify oh and it helps me enjoy it a little more oh

this is a we thing. Yeah and we define it as we things we would simply say you

know we haven't been doing enough we time. Yes. You know let's do something

that's a we thing well so you know it's it's so where the focus begins to be on

what do you like what do I like what do we like. And so that aspect of loneliness

or disconnect gets interrupted I think much more effectively when there's a

sense of definition of me you and a we. Yeah. And the process of engaging with

people -and it's in that we space where you take out the me and you so it doesn't

get cluttered up and then we what do we want to do begins to be a co-creative

space rather than well I was hoping we would go to such and such you know and

it's like well okay it wasn't a we it was a obligation.

Obligation we've gotten away from the original topic of lonely so let's just

let that be and then we can you know another week we can -Well now that we've

talked I'm not lonely anymore. So lonely we can talk about a little bit more so

so that's all I know. Good. So what should we do now? Let's have

a we thing. Okay we can have a we conclusion is that okay?

Yeah. We are we are concluding now go out and have a nice we me you time and

enjoy yourself.

The Power of Visualization! Part 3, Three Year Future Self Projection Doc - Duration: 9:00.

Hello and welcome to this episode of "Carmen's Coaching Corner".

My name is Carmen Payne and I am the owner and creator of SOAR! Transformational

Life Coaching and this episode is about a process to help you think about where

would you like to be three years from now and it's around the topic of

visualization. So in previous episodes I've spoken about vision boards, and I've

also talked on magical creation box which is kind of a slightly different

version of a vision board, and this time what I want to focus on is those of you

who prefer to write things down that you you either like to type things up, or you

like to journal. This is a really great process for you if you're that way

inclined. Now what this process does for you is it helps you to really kind of

get clear around if you could have anything three years from now that feels

realistic to you, how, what would that look like for you? And the process is is

quite simple, but it does take some thought, and it does take you does take

time to write it out, and maybe it may take you a couple of days, or three days

maybe a week to just kind of put it all together, and just really write

everything out that you want to kind of create three years from today. So how do

I do this process well, what I do first is I kind of get quiet and I just kind

of sit and kind of in a meditative kind of state just sit down and think about

if if there were no limitations what would your life look like three years

from now and what I do is I get a piece of paper and I write down on the piece

of paper. Okay I break my life into different categories so it could be

career, health, finances, relationships what you want to do in your community?

Where do you want to travel? What kind of home would you like experience? Would you

want to have what kind of romance? Would you like to

have and I write those down on a piece of paper all these different headings.

Different areas of my life that I would like to sit, and visualize, and meditate

on where I see myself three years from now, and doesn't matter which order you

do it in. Just pick one that speaks to you first. So as you're sitting with

that area of your life, maybe it's your finances, and you say, "okay what would I

like my finances, my financial picture to look like three years from now?" And so as

you sit and you think about that well, what would you like retirement, what you

know, would you like to be saving for your retirement if you're not already

doing so? What kind of money would you like to have in your bank account?

What kind of financial policies would you like, you know, to have like life

insurance policies, or savings policies, or things like that?

What would your financial picture look like? What kind of money would you

like to be earning three years from now? And maybe you break it down into like.

Year one maybe 2019, you want it to earn this much money, 2020 you

want to earn this much money, and I forgot about this year 2018, I want to be

earning this much money, right. So you go from this year, three years out from

today's date or whichever date you started writing this and you start to

visualize in your mind initially what what it is you want to what you want to

experience in your life. And you basically do that for each area of your

life right. You just sit there and you just write out as if nothing stopped,

nothing's limiting you what you want to manifest in your life, what you want to

bring into reality. If you, if nothing was in your way right and just take time to

write that out, journal it out. I did mine in a Word document because I like to

type things out, but I started by writing it out first and kind of just dotting

jotting down, and doing kind of like a brain dump. Oh God, if my business

right what do I want that to look like three years from now. And my

relationships with my family and my friends, what do I want that to look like?what do

I want to experience three years from now? With my partner

Joshua what do I want to experience with him romantically three years from now?

Where do I want to travel, right? What do I want to be doing in my community?

What kind of volunteer work do I want to be doing? What kind of health, or do I

want to be in, you know. What do I want to be in the best shape of my life three

years from now, right? What kind of career path do I want to go down? What will my

coaching trail look like three years from now? And you write it as if it's

actually happening you're already three years into the future

and your writing as if it's happening already. You're still writing it in the

present tense but it's three years from now so take time doing this process and

then when you've got it written out and there's nothing to say that you can't

tweak it as you think of more things that you'd like to add. Once you've got

it written out schedule time in your calendar every week, so just read through

it. Just take time to read through it and then just get that reinspired feeling

and let those emotions about how excited you are about what your life is going to

look like three years from now. I schedule once a week in my in my

calendar a reminder to read my three-year future. Like as a future

self-protection just as a just again it just keeps me focused on where I'm going

right. So where is it you want to go be three years from now and write that down

in those different areas of your life, and you know again I put the heading

career where do I see myself in my career three three years from now in the

present sense. In the present tense health what do I want to be doing with

my you know how healthy do I want to be with my body? Do I want it to be super

fit and tone, or do I just want to be eating really well nutritionally, have good

nutrition going into my body. My relationships, do I want to you know, I

want to be able to see my family at least once or twice a year three years

from now that would be really awesome because they live in England and then in

Malta, and my family aren't able to necessarily come out and see me but if I

can make it happen that I can go see them more frequently that would be great

right. Travel where do I want to travel three years from now? There's so many

places that I've already been but I still

wanna go and I just see myself traveling to all these awesome amazing places that

have ancient ruins but because that kind of geeks me out. I love going to see things

like pyramids and ancient ruins right. So I see myself three years from now doing

exactly that, going on these holidays where I can go and experience ancient

ruins in Mexico, or in Bolivia, or in Egypt those kind of places like Colombia or

Cambodia right. Those kind of places so sit down with the piece of paper, put the

headings for each area of your life that of where you feel inspired to write

about three years from now, and then once you've written it out once a week plan

to read through it that during a specific time of the day. Maybe it's

before you go to bed one night, or maybe on a Monday morning you get up and the

first thing you do is you pull out your future self projection and you read it

right. So this process does take time to write out, but if you're one of those

people that wants to write this should be a piece of cake for you. Tell me what

you think of this process. If you've tried it.

I love reading it and my partner actually accidentally read it because I

had it out on my screen, and I said "hey read this", thinking it was another

document he read it and he was very moved by where I see myself three years

from now. So maybe you write one out and if you have a significant other they

write it out as well, and then you can share it and that way you can support

each other and where you want to be in the future. Right? And it's just so it's

just some way to co-create together if that's the case for you. Anyway

like I said if this if you try this process and comment on the video below,

if this process spoke to you what came up for you as you were writing it? I'd

love to hear from you. If you'd like to receive coaching from me you can contact

me at SOAR.TLC.com You can also connect with me by my website SOARTLC.com

As always in love and light to your transformation Carmen. To get started

please call, or email me, or schedule an appointment on my website.

The internet is divided over this Self magazine cover - Duration: 2:29.

Tess Holiday's Self cover. Catherine Servel for SELF Catherine Servel for SELF Catherine Servel for SELF Catherine Servel for SELF Ad Up Next Subway delays hit low-income commuters the hardest: study Delays in the city's decrepit subway system hit low-income straphangers

4  View Slideshow Back Continue Advertisement June 27, 2018  Here's one magazine cover for which no retouching was required — and it is all the better as a result

 Self magazine's first digital cover is fronted by Tess Holliday, a model, author and fat positivity activist

(The mag recently switched from print to digital-only.)  Holliday, who proudly weighs in at 280 pounds, poses revealingly on the cover

Next to her, a headline declares that her "Health is none of your business."  The cover and accompanying story — which covers "concern trolls, mental health, and supporting fashion brands that support the plus-size customer," per Self editor-in-chief Carolyn Kylstra — have already drawn mixed and opinionated reactions on social media

 Online, plenty of people are giving Holliday a thumbs-up. "You are a true inspiration to us curvy women," one Instagram user writes

"Please inspire more women to embrace their size."  Others have responded less enthusiastically

 "Being overweight is not healthy or something to be proud of. Not sorry," writes one Twitter critic

 Despite the disses, most responses have been positive for Holliday.  One Instagram user about sums it up: "Thank you for being the change that we need to see in body image! You look beautiful!"

CTAL Podcast #13 - Self Care and Minfulness - Duration: 7:44.

Hi, welcome to the podcast from the Center for Teaching and Assessment of Learning at the University of Delaware.

I'm Rose Muravchick Assistant Director at CTAL and I'm joined today by Mike Mackenzie. Hi, Mike

Mike is the Assistant professor in

Behavioral Health and Nutrition and also the Director of the Mind-Body Behavior lab and he joined us to facilitate our most recent

Round table about Mindfulness Practices and incorporating mindfulness into the classroom. So let's start with the title as we often do

What does mindfulness mean for you?

And how do you define that in the work that you do?

So mindful for an us for us is really focused around paying attention in the present moment on purpose without a lot of extra

Chatter rods, you know, our minds can kind of wander off all sorts of different places

So we tend to steal that narrative a little bit terms of the work that we're doing on campus with faculty

we really help them in terms of facilitating their attention both in terms of

concentration and just really simple awareness in terms of what's going on with itself and in our environment. So we did a little icebreaker

exercise in the beginning to get people attune to this way of thinking

So, can you describe for our listeners how we started our whole session?

So the beauty of mindfulness is it's really something that you can apply to anything that you're engaged in and well the first thing that

we were doing is a collective was eating so there was an opportunity

it was an opportunity really to just sort of slow down the pace of

something that's oftentimes habitual that we don't think about

in terms of both the sensation of eating in terms of everything that's sort of occurring in terms of taste in terms of touch and

smell as well as just watching where the mind goes when you're engaged in this in this really simple behavior

whether it's thoughts of food that you've had that similar before or other things of that nature.

So a very simple awareness practice using something that we're doing routinely all the time. Yeah

It was a nice way to get us all kind of focused and into the practice of the whole topic of the roundtable topic

But also so straightforward you could do that at every meal

Basically the way you begin eating paying attention bringing yourself to that focus

So it's easy to replicate I think absolutely even if it's just a couple of bites.

Yeah, so our faculty were very interested in this topic. We had great attendance

which lets us know that people are interested in mindfulness practices, generally

but what are some of the benefits for faculty in incorporating mindfulness exercises into their classes?

So for our faculty, it's been a really interesting experience here on campus

we were originally approached just to do faculty development and to work with faculty around their own stresses and challenges in terms of

living in the academic world, as a function of that people were saying that this is really great

But we'd also like to see how we can bring this into the classroom. So we've run a couple of initiatives on campus

Where we're trying to work with faculty to do that. The other thing that we've just recently developed is a

one-credit program for undergraduates

where they can engage in mindfulness

practices throughout the course of this semester the benefit I think for both in terms of what we're hearing

Is that it over time It tends to create more clarity

Stress does become more

manageable and people are noticing that it's highlighting their their sort of sense of connection with other people that are both engaged in the program

and in terms of other interpersonal relationships. That's really important, especially this time of year

I mean we could see in all of our participants that May this time of the calendar was pretty rough for everybody

and so

Even though it seems like it's hard to take some of that time out. There's a real benefit for everybody to develop these

habits really it's kind of what you guys were talking about was small regular practices, right? Yeah

I mean, I think that's really well said so really just Kelly hona or concentration our general awareness and create some useful mental habits.

Yeah, but not everybody is always a hundred percent comfortable with these kinds of exercises

so we heard from some of our participants who had a lot of familiarity

So some folks who do yoga some people who do meditation who seemed pretty comfortable

but several of our participants described earnestly, you know how this might be challenging

So what are some of those frequent challenges or roadblocks maybe that people have in trying to adapt to a mindfulness practice?

I think the biggest challenge that we often hear both from people is that they're so busy

Where are they gonna fit in just one more thing?

So a lot of the work that we do on on campus is really creating practices that are doable

So generally rather than taking, you know one or two chunks out of the day to do practices

We're doing much smaller practices that people can intersperse throughout the day.

Yeah.

The other thing we find is that people certainly have preferences in terms of which of these sort of mindful practices are of benefit

to them, some people like a really active practice like a yoga practice.

Some people are more focused on stillness type practice,

Other people are really focused on interpersonal

relationships and the beauty of the work that we do is we can really work with people around what their interests and background are to

To do something that's a bit more prescriptive that they that they're more likely to have some success with in continuing.

Yeah. And our participants got a chance to try several of these different kinds of practices to get a sense of what's out there

But I also think that's a good way to model that for students

Also, they have the same challenges there might be different ways that are more effective for them to also bring more awareness.

So they got to practice some breathing exercises

we did some focus and concentration exercises.

What are some of the other areas that people focus on in these mindfulness practices?

So you've highlighted a number of areas. So we generally work from five different areas. So the

practices that are around creating some focus, practices that are just around

honing our basic attentional awareness capacities,

practices that are focused on on the body, so whether that's a breath or some other physical sensation,

practices that are geared towards

interpersonal awareness and Relations

and the fifth thing that we do is is really working around what's going on in your external environment that you might be able to

To calm down some what. The example that we talked a lot about was a cell phone usage, right?

Right, so we know that people are using their cells upwards of three and five hours a day

It's a lot of cognitive bandwidth to be to be

directing that way and we find that if we can help people to to limit some of those

stimuli that can be really, really helpful. And it's one that's a great example of something where if you as a faculty member

Concentrate on developing that awareness yourself it's easier for you to help your students understand

the importance of that we get a lot of questions from faculty about technology use in the classroom

And this is an interesting way to frame that for students to say, you know

there are challenges you will face in the rest of your kind of attention span focus and concentration

because of as you said this bandwidth being taken up by other distractors may be.

Absolutely. This is certainly one of those opportunities to do as I do

yeah, and in working with our faculty, we see that at the end of the

Our time together whether it's a six-week program or whatever we're doing. They're often much more aware of how they are engaged in the classroom

let alone some of these practices that they can they can share with students.

So it's it's an interesting learning curve. Yeah

Well, we had a great experience with practicing what we were preaching what you are doing research about

I think this will probably be a regular feature in the month of May given how stressed everybody is then

And I hope that our participants got a chance to learn about some things

Maybe they weren't familiar with and get us an opportunity to practice so that hopefully in the fall

they can approach all of the tasks they have for that semester with a little more clarity and focus

So thank you for joining us. You're very welcome. And we really look forward to having more of these initiatives and programs on campus

so this is a great opportunity Thanks. So our programming for the round tables is done for this year

It's CTAL

Mindset: Self-Defense - Duration: 8:34.

your ability to be safe your availability to defend yourself has

every bit to do with your mindset that it does to do with your knowledge and

your experience and other facets that happen to deal with those situations hi

if we haven't met before my name's John Ruman. I'm an international business

coach and consultant I'm also a fourth degree black belt and master in the

martial art of Taekwondo and I'm having you warrior retreat the first of July

let me tell you about mindset it is what differentiates those who can't focus and

are unable to think clearly in stressful situations have you ever been highly

stressed and done something stupid that in hindsight you wish you never had done

that's because when you are in high-stress situations and you're

freaking out an adrenaline is pumping trust me it's pumping to in a certain

extent but the ability to create clarity calm a cool mind and breathing deeply

can literally allow you to make a thought that is more intelligent than

otherwise a lot of people especially men this is a men's retreat that I'm doing

get very excited and angry and the problem is when you act like that it may

feel great but you act unintelligently has anyone ever heard of road rage which

is someone cuts you off and you ruminate on it you you chew on it you you you it

Fester's in your mind until you explode it and do something really really really

stupid and it's purely your inability to create resilience in high-stress

situations to think clearly to breathe clearly to understand that there are

other options other than violence that this is your response to the

situation and that is your choice so with that mind even realizing that in

the moment you have a response that you're experiencing helps you to stay

calmer than you would otherwise now if you have a gun pulled on you in a knife

or some very very very high-stress situation that in the moment if you can

breathe calmly and try to have a level of stillness within you that can

actually bring down the situation to a less severe state and proximity for you

physically emotionally the danger of it if you will that will help you to act

smarter when the time comes so this is something we will be going over me and

the men in the men's warrior retreat to help you to have better clarity such

that when things come up that you have high stress situations and I'm talking

specifically a self defense life-threatening or just physically

threatening or someone else is being threatened that you don't do something

stupid that gets you or something else someone else killed or really hurt

because it feels great at the moment and it seemed like the right thing to do so

again we will discuss the power of deep breathing and trying to remain calm and

how to breathe and how breathing will impact how you feel and the power of

deep breathing you notice when when you freak out you actually bring either

chest and higher that's a that's a stressful breathing state that is a

response to the craziness that you're responding to outside and that responds

to a lot of extent is your choice so the calm grounded powerful person can

breathe deeply understand what's happening and have a higher chance of

reasoning with whatever the situation in person is to even if they can't create

good dialogue to come up with a better

decision in the moment that can make everyone involved safer and no one gets

hurt you no one dies all those awful things so this is something we'll be

covering in the workshop it brings up a very valid point that people think

self-defense it's all about you know beating someone up and while that is

nice to have the ability and knowledge to have some fundamentals it takes years

of practice and even then in the moment we still have it's called a flinch

response and the flinch response can make us not do what we need to do and

then bad stuff happens so it's important to understand things that you can learn

that validate and use the flood response to your advantage but also understand

that by trying to learn too much and trying to remember it makes it such that

what it matters it's ineffective so I would encourage you to learn less but

more effective techniques rather than a million a million random ones at a

million classes and say oh this will save my life because it's helpful but

honestly less is usually more and less is usually more for your mind and you're

not overloaded with potential things to do so because again the instinct

fight-or-flight is a good one get out of there is really what you need

to be thinking how can I get out of the situation safely and help those around

me get out of it safely as well so so here's a little bit about the bottom

industry we will be doing about an hour of self-defense and it will cover the

mental state how to achieve how to better enhance that so when the time

comes hopefully you'll be more balanced and calm will also will discuss actual

practical things you can do someone's in front of you behind you to where to

strike how to make it appear that you're not being in a defensive or offensive

mode and in actuality you are and just how to how to do this a little more

effectively so it starts on the 1st of July it is in Santa Cruz at the colibri

State las hermanas and it is from 9 a.m. to approximately 1 p.m. they go a little

longer than that 9:00 to 1:00 is the scheduled time it again

self-defense will be in the morning then we're going to learn Hakka style

grounding and a little bit of Qigong grounding and energy techniques that

will make you feel powerful and then we will leverage and calm those so we can

run up or walk up hike up the mountainside without being too fatigued

again this is not designed to be a killer workout this is more designed for

a bunch of guys to hike up the mountain there will be an obstacle course and if

it's a too big a deal for you physically if we can just walk around the obstacle

so that's not a big deal and and then when we come down we'll

have a couple sandwiches for lunch and a piece of fruit you're gonna have before

or after so let me know what questions you have the total investment for this

is 450 TT and you put 250 up front to claim your spot 200 on the day or just

pay the whole thing at one time and shoot me a message if you're connecting

Tracy Morgan warns his younger self about the one thing that can stop him - Duration: 4:54.

Tracy Morgan stars in the popular show "The Last O.G.," filmed in the same Brooklyn neighborhood where he grew up

The comedian and actor showed his skills in an impressive lineup of shows including "Def Comedy Jam," "Saturday Night Live," and "30 Rock

"  In our ongoing series, Note to Self, Morgan reflects on his childhood, his comedy career that began more than 20 years ago, his serious injuries from a 2014 car accident, and his subsequent recovery

Morgan shares those life lessons in a heartfelt message to his 6-year-old self

 Dear Little Tracy, I know you're scared right now and that's alright

Your dad just left and he was your protector. You're going to be mad at him for a long time, but try to remember he was a good man

He went away and fought for his country, but came back hooked on heroin

Your mom couldn't have him in the house. She had five kids to raise and she couldn't raise them around a drug addict

It's going to be hard, but you're going to make it. Other people in your life are going to man up, or kid up, like your older brother Jimmy

I love you, Jim. I know he's handicapped and can't fight all the bullies in the neighborhood when they pick on you, but he's going to protect you in other ways

He's gonna show you how to use your brain and not your fist or a gun

Of course, it's not going to be easy. To paraphrase Bette Davis, "It's going to be a bumpy life

"You'll watch all the old movies like, "Maltese Falcon", "Angels with Dirty Faces", and your favorite "To Kill a Mockingbird

" For some reason, you're drawn to these films. They'll be asking, "Why is this little black kid in the projects watching old ass white movies starring old ass white people?" Don't worry about them, though

You're going to do a lot of things people think are crazy because you are a little crazy, boy

There's nothing wrong with that. Listen to me. Just embrace it

It's gonna come in handy. They're going to think you're crazy when you move in with your girlfriend named Sabina and her two sons when you're 22 and jobless

This woman, she's gonna be the one that's going to become your wife and gonna be the one to encourage you to get on stage and be funny

She's gonna say, "I know you funny boy, pull the trigger." And remember once you're on stage making them laugh, you're on your way

No heckler can hurt you. Hey man, you've made killers in the projects laugh so a heckler don't mean nothing

Some drunk dude in a comedy club making fun of your propeller hat, that can't intimidate you

You won't be intimidated by nothing. Not even auditioning for TV shows like "Saturday Night Live

" Hey, when it comes to show business you've seen your favorites like Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor, George Carlin, you've seen them do it a thousand times so it ain't gonna mean nothing to you

The only thing that can stop you little boy, is the same thing that stopped your dad – drugs and alcohol

It'll cost you your marriage. You'll lose a good woman but not your life

You'll sober up and you'll still be funny. Nothing's gonna stop you, not even a Walmart truck

You may not know it now, but you're strong, man. You're strong

You'll have a lot of things going for you. Second chance at love and life

 Someday you're going to be a protector of your own family. And you will never ever leave
