The FYX 138: Finding Stillness and Finding You with Eben Britton

Coach Krysta is joined by ex-NFLer turned yogi, Eben Britton is today's episode that can be summed up best in one word: enlightening. Eben takes us along his journey through the chaos of an alcoholic family, into his career as a professional football player and ultimately, how his lack of purpose post-sports led him back to himself, specifically his relationship with himself--a relationship that most of us neglect as we move through our lives. With the support of the Al-Anon 12 step program, yoga, and meditation, Eb found himself, found his path, and his purpose: now paving the way for the rest of us to do the same. Eb's story--and his work and message today--show us the power that comes with finding stillness and looking inward. Eb walks us through a style of meditation called open focus, which Coach Krysta has already seen immediate benefits from in her own regular practice of it. If you're someone who hasn't always found meditation to be accessible, this episode will completely transform your perspective.In this episode, we discuss:- the power of open focus meditation- understanding our bodies' natural wiring around fight, flight, and freeze- what it really means to find stillness and concentration- the expansion that comes with truly listening--and what it means to really listen to others around you- the perfection inside of the struggle- the beautiful mindset we have the ability to cultivate around challenging experiences--seeing them as events and situations we needed to go through to arrive to our reality today Apply for 1:1 Coaching with The Fitness FYX: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Krysta: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thekrystahuber⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thefyx.officialpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thefitnessfyx⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow our newest Assistant Coach, Cait: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@caitchelette⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Prefer Your FYX with video? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check us out on Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Eben: @edsbrittonCheck out Eben's upcoming event in Texas: Heal and Flow TX - March 23-March 24
