Mindfulness, Living in the Present, and Acceptance VS Settling. Change Your Mindset and Change Your Future with Dr Cristy Lopez [PODCAST 67]

What would it be worth to you if you could conquer the voices of doubt… or the voice that may tell you you're not good enough? My guest on today's episode is Dr. Cristy Lopez and she's going to share the P.E.A.C.E. process to mindfulness and living in the present - and what that means for you is more growth, significance, and impact. Too often we spend the bulk of our energy focusing on things that are external to us, things that are outside our control. Things like other people, situations, worries and fears. When we do that we're using our most precious commodities, time and energy, to lead ourselves down a path that is not only unhelpful, but also destructive. Today Dr. Cristy Lopez shows us what we can do to get our mind off the things that we can't control by learning to live mindfully in the present moment, even if that moment is something we'd define as "bad." It is what it is. That's not such a bad way of looking at life. She does that by sharing her "P.E.A.C.E." approach to mindfulness. Those letters stand for - Physiology, emotions, actions, cognition, and extrasensory - and she walks us through each of those areas, explaining what it means and it's vital that you learn how to put them into practice to help set you free from negative or limiting thought patterns and also to set you up for greater things in the future.   Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn in this show: Acceptance VS Settling, Mindfulness and more (Introduction); [0:33] Why I feel this is a very important distinction to make in your life; [1:07] What do I mean, acceptance VS settling?
