In this lighthearted and thought-provoking conversation, Paul sits down with leadership trainer and coach Roach Finley to unpack key insights from The Anatomy of Peace: Resolving the Heart of Conflict by The Arbinger Institute. Together they explore what it means to move from a “heart at war” to a “heart at peace,” how the “box” and “influence pyramid” shape our relationships, and why this book is more about being than doing. Along the way, Roach shares personal reflections from her leadership journey and how the book is still working on her.Connect with Coach Roach via her website, LinkedIn, Facebook or Instagram.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ripples.

Try this simple, science-backed trick:“Fartleks” — meaning “speed play” in Swedish — are an effective way to add intensity to activities, which a growing body of science indicates can make your workouts more beneficial.  Fartleks are an informal version of interval training. To start fartlek training, head outside, warm up for a few minutes at whatever activity you most enjoy — whether it’s walking, running, biking, unicycling or snowshoeing — and then pick a landmark a short distance ahead. It could be a tree, a colorful mailbox or an unusual rock formation. Pick up your pace until you reach it. Then, drop back to your original pace, let your heart rate and breathing slow, and look for another landmark. Vary the distance between these goals, and aim for perhaps 30 minutes of fartleks once a week to start.PONDER"Everything is horrific and along side it is hope.Everything is dark and along side it there is light.The question becomes, “How do we cultivate a practice of noticing so that we can also speak into existence the things that are going right?”When we have algorithms that are so tuned towards catastrophe, brains in fact that are so alarmous, such drama queens…that we forget the practice of noticing beauty.To rewire my brain and my heart is to speak aloud the things that I find beautiful.And that gives me hope. There’s such a smorgasbord of beauty around us, and we often feel guilty in naming it, as if that detracts or cancels out the severity of what we’re facing. I don’t think it does. What the universe is always asking us to do is to become bilingual."~Alok Vaid-Menon, shared by Josh in New Hampshirelightly edited from these informal remarksGet your WE GOT THIS Sticker here!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ripples.

They are:I am of the nature to grow old. Aging is unavoidable.I am of the nature to experience illness. Illness is unavoidable.I am of the nature to die. Death is unavoidable.Everyone and everything I love will change, and I will be separated from them.My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground upon which I stand.These remembrances serve as a reminder to live mindfully and ethically, accepting the impermanence of life.Here's the Dan Harris podcast episode I learned about this from, and here is a simple image of them I made for my iPhoneHere's a link to the resource page of Depolarization Resources I mentioned, too.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ripples.

The Sonder of Musings…I originally came across the word "sonder" in the mesmorizing 10 minute video called SOULFULLY BEAUTIFUL from Reflections of LIfe (who I first learned about from Grateful Living: https://grateful.org). I then learned the term SONDER, defined as "the profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passing in the street, has a life as complex as one's own, which they are constantly living despite one's personal lack of awareness of it. The word was coined by John Koenig, who compiled a compendium of created words in the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows and also created a short video just to unpack his special word Sonder.B.

Just for now,
and without asking how,
let yourself sink into stillness. Just for now,
lay down the weight
you so patiently bear upon your shoulders. Feel the earth receive you,
and the infinite expanse of sky
grow even wider
as your awareness reaches up to meet it. Just for now,
allow a wave of breath to enliven your experience. Breathe out whatever blocks you from the truth. Just for now, be boundless, free,
awakened energy tingling in your hands and feet. Drink in the possibility of being
who and what you really are: so fully alive
that when you open your eyes the world looks different, newly born and vibrant,. Just for now. -Danna FauldsPEBBLEOne Year Wiser: 365 Illustrated Meditations, by Mike Medagliahttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24886298-one-year-wiserBOULDERDear Paul in the dark,It's okay.
