| 25 May 2021 | EP131: The Case for Kindness with Bruce Reyes-Chow | 00:57:40 | |
For episode homepage, resources and links, visit: https://kristenmanieri.com/episode131/
Description When we’re not really thinking about it, we might define kindness as being nice, polite and agreeable. But Bruce Reyes-Chow, author of In Defense of Kindness: Why It Matters, How It Changes Our Lives, and How It Can Save the World, looks a few layers deeper. To Bruce, kindness is a decision to use every interaction as an opportunity build up the people in our lives. Kindness takes courage, practice and, at times, herculean restraint, but it’s our pathway to healing, wholeness, and hope in ourselves and the world. It’s an adventure of discovery and rediscovery of kindness of heart, mind, spirit, and action.
Guest Bio Bruce Reyes-Chow is a kindness enthusiast. A Presbyterian pastor, leadership coach, spouse of 30 years, and parent to three children, he has spent the past 25 years working with individuals and organizations helping them to work through conflict and change having to do with technology, race, relationships, religion, leadership, and change. He has seen most breakthroughs when kindness—the ability to see the humanity of the other and then behave in a way that honors that belief—is embraced, embodied, and expressed by all involved. Author of and contributor to books such as, But I Don’t See You as Asian: Curating Conversations About Race, Rule #2: Don’t Be an Asshat: An Official Handbook for Raising Parents and Children, and 40 Days, 40 Prayers, 40 Words: Lenten Reflections for Everyday Life, he now takes on what seems a most daunting task in today’s world of so much physical violence, dehumanizing rhetoric, and divisive rage-tweeting—the defense of kindness.
Host Bio Kristen Manieri is certified both as a habits coach and mindfulness teacher. She specializes in: stress reduction, energy management, mindset, resilience, focus, habit formation, rest rituals, and prioritizing personal well-being. As the host of the weekly 60 Mindful Minutes podcast, an Apple top 100 social science podcast, Kristen has interviewed over 120 authors and thought leaders about what it means to live a more conscious, connected, intentional AND joyful life.

| 15 Sep 2020 | EP95: How You Become You with Jay Belsky | 00:54:43 | |
For episode homepage, resources and links, visit: https://kristenmanieri.com/episode95/
Description Human development, which crosses psychology, biology, neuroscience and sociology, asks: why are we the way we are? This was one of the questions that drove four researchers to study thousands of people from birth to midlife in the US, Great Britain and New Zealand. In their new book, The Origins of You: How Childhood Shapes Later Life, these four leading psychologists share their findings so far. The result is unprecedented insight into what makes each of us who we are and the awareness that human development is not subject to ironclad laws but instead is a matter of possibilities and probabilities―multiple forces that together determine the direction a life will take.
Guest Bio Professor Jay Belsky is the Robert M. and Natalie Reid Dorn Professor of Human Development at the University of California, Davis (2011-present). He obtained his Ph.D. in 1978 in Human Development and Family Studies from Cornell University. Professor Belsky is an internationally recognized expert in the field of child development and family studies. His areas of special expertise include effects of day care, parent-child relations and other developmental experiences and environmental exposures early in life on psychological and behavioral development, the transition to parenthood, the etiology of child maltreatment and the evolutionary basis of parent and child functioning.

(Part Three) End Overwhelm Series: Say “No” More Often Live: Nov 17
Welcome back to 60 Mindful minutes. This is Kristen Manieri and you’re listing to my four-part series on ending overwhelm. Part one was all about understanding your capacity. Part two was focused on doing less. Today, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on how we can learn to say “no” more often.
Feelings of overwhelm often directly correlate with being over capacity. We have too much on our plates. Ask yourself this question: how did this all get on my plate in the first place?
Some of it, of course, just ended up there because it’s part of the job. You didn’t sign up for your commute to work; it’s simply part of having your particular job. You didn’t sign up for making dinner most nights; it just turns out that you’re the one home first and skilled enough for the task.
But some of the things on your plate you did sign up for. Someone asked and you said “yes.” Those are the things I want to look at today.
Why do we say “yes” to the things we say “yes” to? Here are a few potential answers. See if any are a fit for you.
We say “yes” because:
Here’s a quick test to see if saying “no” is an underdeveloped skill for you: take a look at your commitments for the next 30 days, including tasks you have agreed to do for others and places you have committed to be. How many of them do you now wish you could back out of or secretly hope will be cancelled? Are you already cooking up excuses or lies in order to avoid this commitment? If you see this pattern, even just a little bit, I believe you’re saying “yes” too much and saying “no” too little.
A few years ago, a client (I’ll call her Cheryl) was sharing with me that she was feeling awful about a girl’s weekend that was coming up a few days later. She had committed to going several weeks before but as the details of the trip slowly came to light, she realized that this was not the trip for her. Now she was going through the gut-wrenching process of trying to figure out a way to cancel. Could she say one of her kids is sick? Could she blame it on a fictitious business trip her husband suddenly needed to be on?
She didn’t want to lie but she also couldn’t bring herself to tell the truth: that she had been so excited to be asked to join the trip that she didn’t ask the important questions that needed to be asked to make sure this was the right trip for her. As she got clear on what motivated her spontaneous “yes,” she could see that she had a deep desire to feel belonging in her friend group and to demonstrate that she valued their friendship. Cheryl realized that committing to things and then later backing out was a pattern in her life, and one that she no longer wanted to repeat.
We’ve all faced a similar dilemma, maybe many, many times.
That day, Cheryl drew a line in the sand and declared that she was, from that day forward, going to become someone who only committed to things once she fully knew the details and only if she was absolutely sure she was a “yes.”
She fessed up honestly to her friends, letting them know she would not be joining them, why she’d mistakenly committed in the first place, and offered to pay for any costs that would be incurred by her cancelling.
The real work, however, was getting clear with herself about what all of the haphazard “yeses” in her life were costing her (stress, drama, money, time, etc.) and how she could develop the ability to slow down in her life so that she could become more discerning choices about what she committed to.
The strategy that we developed during that session was called The 24-Hour Maybe. When someone invited Cheryl to something, she learned to develop the habit of saying “Maybe. Can I let you know in 24 hours?” This bought her the time to ask more questions and to think through whether she had the time for this commitment and whether she actually wanted to do it.
Here’s the takeaway: if you realize that you need to learn how to say “no” more often, start by first learning to say “maybe.” “Maybe” creates a pause so you have time to check in with yourself. “Maybe” is non-confrontational if you’re someone who finds it really difficult to say “no.” “Maybe” tells the people in your life that you only say “yes” to things once you’ve really thought it through. It honors the person asking but it also honors you.
During this 24-hour maybe, you have time to pause to check in with yourself before committing. This will give you the space to try on some of these strategies:
Later this month you’ll get to hear an interview with Melissa Urban, the co-creator of Whole30 and the author of The Book of Boundaries. I love this book! I’ve already sent this book to several people who I know struggle with setting boundaries but it’s honestly a must-read for all of us. What I learned from Melissa in our interview and in her book is that boundaries are how we protect our limited resources.
You are a limited resource.
There needs to be a fence around your time, energy and mental capacity. We first figure out what matters to us, which was a big focus of last week’s episode about doing less, and then we protect those things with our boundaries.
If boundaries don’t come naturally to you, try scripting them out. This is exactly the approach Melissa takes in The Book of Boundaries, which includes over 130 scripts with exact words you can use to set a boundary in all sorts of scenarios. Be ready for pushback and an inevitable negotiation that is likely to ensue. If you’re stumped, throw down the 24-hour maybe. Give yourself time to regroup and re-establish your boundary.
Check in with yourself about why you say “yes” to the things you commit to. Get curious about what drives you. It’s universally human to be motivated by a need for safety, love, belonging and esteem. How else could you get these needs met without taking on more than you can handle?
Notice if you’re someone who is constantly cancelling or rescheduling. That’s a good indication that you say “yes” to too many things.
Build the habit of the 24-Hour Maybe. Take some time to pause, reflect and investigate before you commit. Get all the details so you know what you’re getting into. Check in to be sure you’re a “hell yes.”
Finally, set boundaries that honor you… your rest, privacy, space, free time, and values. Develop the skill of boundary setting with practice. It takes lots of practice to become a pro boundary maker and holder. But most importantly, surround yourself with people who honor your boundaries.
I hope you found these insights helpful. Stay tuned for part four, coming next week, when I’ll be diving into creating an alert system so you know when your train is coming off the tracks. | |||

Welcome back to 60 Mindful minutes. This is Kristen Manieri and you’re listing to my four-part series on ending overwhelm. Last week, for part one, I shared my thoughts on understanding true capacity. Today, for part two, I’ll be speaking about DOING LESS.
It can’t all matter. There’s got to be a way to rank everything that’s important in your life and identify the things that really aren’t. It’s going to take some time—meaning you’ll want to dedicate an hour or two—to get really real with yourself about what truly are the things that make your life a good life and which things are just a distraction.
This is the path of an essentialist, which Greg McKeown describes as someone who takes on the relentless pursuit of less but better. “Only once you give yourself permission to stop trying to do it all, to stop saying yes to everyone, can you make your highest contribution towards the things that really matter,” he writes in his book, Essentialism.
But what does really matter? It’s not always easy to whittle our list down. At first glance you might say, “it all matters! I can’t cut anything!” Essentialism is a skill we develop; it isn’t something most of us know how to do intuitively. So, I’m going to share some thoughts from five different books I’ve read about distilling your life down to only the most important things.
The first book is called The Lazy Genius Way: Embrace What Matters, Ditch What Doesn’t, and Get Stuff Done by Kendra Adachi. The book lays out 13 Lazy Genius Principles but I’m going to focus on #10: essentialize.
For Kendra, embracing what matters must start with knowing what matters. She writes: “True fulfillment comes from subtraction, from removing everything that distracts you from what matters and leaving only the essential.”
Let’s say I have a jam-packed weekend ahead. In the Lazy Genius Way, the first step is to name what really matters to me. As I consider this, I land on three things that matter this weekend: rest, connection to Marc and the girls, and restoring order to our house.
The second step is removing what’s in the way. Doing my laundry feels essential because that restores order to my wardrobe. Going for a hike with Aly feels essential because it creates connection. Staying in my pajamas Sunday morning and reading a book in front of the fire feels essential because it creates rest.
Something that could get in the way is weekend errands. It’s amazing how much precious weekend time gets used up driving from A to B to C picking up and dropping off stuff if I’m not paying attention to being deliberate about how I spend my weekend.
While some errands feel necessary (I really do need to pick up one of those round batteries before my key fob completely dies) I can essentialize my errand list so it only takes a few hours instead of an entire day. A full day of running around would definitely be counter to rest, which I’ve already established is a priority.
Kendra’s last step is to keep only the essentials. If it doesn’t reeeaaaalllllly matter, and if it’s in the way of what does, it’s nixed.
The key takeaway is this: name what matters.
The next book I want to share with you is Soulful Simplicity by Courtney Carver. I love this book, especially chapter 26, which is all about taking a sabbath. Some of you may remember that most things used to be closed on Sunday. Can you believe that was only about 30 years ago?
What would it be like to have one day a week when you’re completely free of tasks, appointments and obligations? Taking a sabbath is all about putting a fence around one day each week and keeping it protected from everything that doesn’t serve you.
According to Courtney Carver (who I interviewed in episode 17), you start by scheduling your sabbath. Put it in your calendar. Number two, tell the world. “Call your friends, text your colleagues, tweet the news that you have scheduled a day off and won’t be available,” she writes. “Let them know that you won’t be answering the phone, checking email, or updating your Facebook status.”
What would your sabbath be like? Maybe you keep all screens off all day or at least until 1pm. Maybe you sleep in or go for a long hike or read a novel. What would feel exceptionally restorative to you and then ask yourself, why not? Why not take a full day of complete rest?
The next idea I want to share with you is from Kate Northrup’s book, Do Less. Here’s the big idea: receive help. She articulates it this way: “Let’s both of us see what happens if we let go of the lie we’ve been told and that we’ve been telling others—that having it all together or doing it all ourselves is what makes us valuable. Let’s replace it with shooting for genuine connection, true happiness, a full tank, the courage to be vulnerable by owning where we need support, and being willing to receive it when it shows up.”
Those of us who have spent a lifetime being highly self-sufficient—and likely getting a lot of praise from parents and bosses for being so reliable and having such steady follow-through—have probably built an identity around never needing anyone’s help. We’re the ones who chose the independent study over the group project. Why rely on others when we’re so dang good at doing it ourselves. If you can identify, you’re likely similar to me in that asking for and receiving help is really hard. But just like most things, it’s an underdeveloped skill that can be developed. We can get better, maybe even ninja-level better, at receiving help.
Kate recommends we take on this mantra: I am allowing this day to be easy. She recommends that we ask ourselves:
When we pause to reflect and consider, we might not only see where we could ask for help, or where we could eliminate a task completely.
This topic wouldn’t feel adequately covered without bringing in some important insights from Becky Hall, who wrote the book The Art of Enough: Seven Ways to Build a Balanced Life and a Flourishing World. When I interviewed Becky for episode #148, she spoke a lot about having an “enough mindset,” which is rooted in the idea that there is enough, we can do enough, and we are enough.
Of course, we can always do more. Having an enough mindset is a deliberate approach to our lives that acknowledges the endlessness of our tasks and obligations but draws a subjective line in the sand when we’re come to close to our edge. It’s realizing when we’re almost overdrawn physically, emotionally or psychologically and granting ourselves permission to say, “enough.”
Becky thinks of enough as a state of being and also a way of living. “With Enough we learn to live within the natural limits within our lives,” she writes. With an enough mindset, we honor that we each have limits. It’s only human to reach the end of our capacity and then need to go renew our resources. In fact, those of us who learn to renew our resources effectively through rest and quality leisure become “well rooted and well resourced so that we can flourish with creativity and brilliance.”
In her book, Becky references a practice she read in Jim Collins’ book, Good to Great, which is to create a “stop doing list.” Try this out. Make a list of 10 to 20 things that you could stop doing. Rethink everything through the lens of this question: do I really need to be doing this?
I’d like to leave you with one final thought from Celeste Headlee’s book, Do Nothing. She writes: “The truth is, productivity is a by-product of a functional system, not a goal in and of itself. The question is not whether you are productive but what are you producing.”
We weren’t put on this earth to get our to-do list done. It can’t be that the purpose of life is to get everything done. What I think Celeste Headlee is asking is what is all this doing creating? Stress or happiness? Constraint or connection? Is it creating a life that you’re madly in love with? Maybe the answer is to do much, much less.
I’m not suggesting we all sit on our couches and stare at the wall. What I’m suggesting is a that we look really closely at what we give our time and energy to and make really sure it’s giving us the life that we want. This will require that we dedicate some time taking this closer look.
Go for a walk, sit on a Sunday morning with your journal, find a friend who can listen well and ask good questions so you can tease it out. Whatever it takes, get really clear on the essentials of your good, happy, peaceful life.
Next week I’ll be talking about how to say "no" more often. See you then.

Description It’s so much easier to be grounded and happy when you feel good. If you’ve ever tried to a handle a frustrating, stressful or aggravating situation when you’re tired, undernourished or over-caffeinated, you probably had the experience of struggling to be at your best and to harness a peaceful way of being. But when we’re well rested, well-fed and generally feeling good, accessing the zen parts of ourselves is incredibly easier.

| 28 Jun 2022 | EP185: Change Your Lunch Break, Change Your Life with Cheryl Johnson | 00:52:46 | |
In the book, Box Lunch Lifestyle: Using Your Lunch Break to Win Back the Life You Deserve, author Cheryl Johnson uses the common, everyday experience of a lunch break as a kind of metaphor for how we live our lives. Are our breaks rushed with almost no time to nourish ourselves, or do we build boundaries so that we make time for what matters for us? Are we constantly flying by the seat of our pants or do we strategically place moments of calm and clarity in our day so we can pause and return to ourselves? As you’ll hear, box lunch lifestyle is a small change that can have a huge ripple effect. For episode homepage, resources and links, visit: https://kristenmanieri.com/episode185
Learn more about coaching: Kristen@kristenmanieri.com
Guest Bio Cheryl was a research director for nearly twenty years until boxing training gave her the courage to leave corporate life for something that felt more like her true self. Box Lunch Lifestyle is how she now helps people realize that richer, more satisfying lives aren’t as distant as they seem. Secretly, Cheryl loves grocery stores: small family-owned ones, national chains, co-ops, and the corner convenience store. Seeing everyday life through the lens of what food is available, and what people actually buy, fascinates her—and reinforces her disdain for weight loss programs and companies that thrive by selling non-nutritious food. When she’s not boxing, reading, or pushing a cart, Cheryl and her husband enjoy documentary films and Indian food. They live near St. Paul, MN, in a town that Cheryl describes as a cross between Lake Wobegon and Twin Peaks. Learn more at cherylkjohnson.com.

| 11 Apr 2023 | EP239: The Life-Changing Practice of Paying Attention with Paul Angone | 00:44:36 | |
It’s easy to miss something you’re not looking for. Psychologists call this inattentional blindness: the failure to notice something right in front of you because other attention-demanding tasks are at hand. This week, my guest is Paul Angone, author of Listen to Your Day: The Life-Changing Practice of Paying Attention. Paul argues that inattentional blindness sums up the day-to-day of most of our lives. We’re missing important things, including revelations, ideas, and truths, that are walking right in front of us because we aren’t actually looking for them.
Guest Bio Paul Angone is one of the most trusted and sought-after voices in the nation to college students, young professionals, and those going through career change. The bestselling author of 101 Secrets for Your Twenties, 101 Questions You Need to Ask in Your Twenties, and 25 Lies Twentysomethings Need to Stop Believing, Paul is a dynamic keynote speaker at universities, corporations, and churches nationwide. He is also the creator of AllGroanUp.com and the All Groan Up podcast. He lives just outside Denver, Colorado, with his wife, Naomi, and their four children.

Whether we're aware of it or not, most of us spend a lot of time in our thoughts and use our minds to navigate the world.

| 21 Feb 2023 | EP232: Mastering Your Thoughts with Thomas Sterner | 01:01:38 | |
Reflect back on the last hour of your thinking and consider how many of those thoughts you created on purpose. If you’re like most of us, you’ll likely see that much of your thinking gets produced without your direction, and often outside of your awareness. This week, Thomas Sterner shares insights from his book, It’s Just a Thought: Emotional Freedom through Deliberate Thinking. Throughout his career, Thomas has been exploring methods for thinking, rather than being thought. What he’s learned is that directing our thoughts, instead of being directed by them, is not only possible, it’s transformative.
Guest Bio Thomas M. Sterner is the founder and CEO of the Practicing Mind Institute, a successful entrepreneur, and an expert in present moment functioning, or PMF™. As a popular and in-demand speaker and coach, he works with high-performance industry groups and individuals, including athletes, coaches, and CEOs, freeing them to operate effectively in high-stress situations so that they can break through to new levels of mastery.

| 11 Jul 2023 | EP252: Reverse Meditation with Andrew Holecek | 00:52:13 | |
“Complete meditation is not about feeling good— it’s about getting real,” writes Andrew Holecek in his book, Reverse Meditation: How to Use Your Pain and Most Difficult Emotions as the Doorway to Inner Freedom. From this lens, meditation intended only to feel good falls short of what’s possible when we tune into and turn toward ourselves. This week’s conversation focuses on reverse meditation, which is a deliberate turning towards difficult thoughts, emotions and physical pain. And with this new perspective, reverse meditation give us the opportunity to relate to our mind instead of from it.
Guest Bio Andrew Holecek is an author, speaker, and humanitarian who offers seminars internationally on meditation, lucid dreaming, and the art of dying. He has studied sleep yoga, bardo yoga, and other traditional practices with living masters in India and Nepal. Andrew’s books include Dreams of Light, Dream Yoga, and Reverse Meditation. His work has appeared in Psychology Today, Parabola, Lion’s Roar, Tricycle,Utne Reader, Buddhadharma, Light of Consciousness, and many other periodicals.

| 27 Jun 2023 | EP250: Understanding Gen Z with John Schlimm | 00:52:01 | |
Isn't it interesting how we give generations labels? As you may know, Gen Z is defined as anyone born between 1997 and 2012, which means these are the people that are roughly 11 to 26 years of age now. As you give some thought to people you may know in this age group, I wonder what labels or judgments might you have? In his new book, What Would Gen-Z Do?: Everything You Don't Know About Gen-Z But Should, international award-winning author John Schlimm invites you to rethink everything.
Guest Bio A Harvard-trained educator, artist, advocate, and international award-winning author, John Schlimm was among the first to start piecing together the authentic and multifaceted face of Generation Z—beyond the stigmas, stereotypes, and often misguided media profiling of these dynamic young people, who remain largely misunderstood and vastly underestimated. During the past several years, John’s extensive and revealing work and trusted relationship with Gen-Zers across the country has resulted in several thought-provoking essays—for Huffington Post, Harvard Ed. Magazine, and others—and his groundbreaking collaboration with The Andy Warhol Museum to create The Gen-Z Time Capsule, which is a participatory project helping Gen-Zers to further introduce themselves to the world—including to their own parents, teachers, community leaders, employers, and others—while also turning them into a bona fide work of Pop Art.

| 06 Apr 2019 | 043: A Cloudless Mind with Scott Byrd | 01:00:13 | |
Guest Bio Scott Byrd is an entrepreneur and founder of a coaching company who has recently co-written the book, "A Cloudless Mind," which marries the latest insights from neuroscience with practical ancient wisdom to offer simple truths about the human mind to fundamentally change everything about the way you see yourself and the decisions you make. Learn more at https://www.cloudlessmind.com/
Description Most of us have heard the research that says the average mind thinks between 60,000 – 80,000 thoughts a day. But have you ever really contemplated what these thoughts are exactly, and even more out there, who’s thinking them? For those of us in pursuit of a more peaceful inner world and a more harmonious outer world, the idea of having a cloudless mind is worth considering.

| 16 Nov 2017 | 003: Two Questions with Kristen Manieri | 00:07:29 | |
Recently, my husband, Marc, and I have started testing out a new ritual. We’re habit people and find that when we can put key aspects of our connection on auto-pilot—that is, we get them to happen without having to think too much about making them happen—we seem to find each other more in the slightly chaotic, sometimes harried, often muddled, basket weave that is the life we’ve assembled together. For over a decade we’ve carved the habit of a weekly date night into our family blueprint, amassing a dugout of equally delightful and reliable babysitters and teaching our kids that mom and dad time is the norm, no different than morning breakfast or nightly tuck-ins. It’s just what we do. This is simply how the Manieri family rolls. Call us overly self-indulgent, but we find that after 13 years of marriage, we’d actually like even more couple time together (gasp!). Sure, we see each other every day, but the bevy of hurried, innocuous and sometimes snippy interactions Marc and I experience throughout our busy day feel more like baton passes in a relay than anything close to meaningful connection. So, we’ve started the practice of meeting once a week for tea (wine or seltzer works just as good, if that’s your fancy). And rather than let the day’s headlines or our endless checklist guide our conversation (Did you call the roofer? Should I book the flight to Atlanta before it gets too expensive? Are you going to call the bank about those extra fees?), we anchor our interlude in two questions that have completely changed how we spend those 30 minutes together. What would you like to be acknowledged for? What would you like me to know about your life?

Title: EP211: Get to Know Your Neighbors
I’ve been thinking about the status of neighbors and our interactions with them in this fast-paced and highly digitalized world we live in. How many of us actually know our neighbors? Maybe we’re missing out on a deep sense of belonging and community that could be built with the people who live right next door.

Full Transcript
This past weekend we had tea with our neighbors, Rick and Leslie. We’ve been living on our new street for almost nine months now, and other than hellos as we come and go or quick chats at the end of the driveway, this was the first time we’d actually sat down with one of our neighbors to really get to know them.
It was lovely. I’m so grateful they invited us over.
It got me thinking about the status of neighbors and our interactions with them in this fast-paced and highly digitalized world we now live in. How many of us actually know our neighbors? Maybe we know their first names and a rough idea of what they do for a living, but who can say they actually have a relationship with their neighbors.
We used to live in Central Florida, and when we moved onto our street back in 2006, our next-door neighbor was a guy named Mike Delaney. From the day we moved in, Mike made it his mission to get to know us and to introduce us to the other neighbors. Marc and I and the other neighbors joked that he was the mayor of our cul de sac. And while sometimes he bordered on a little nosy at time, the truth is that it felt good that there was someone on our street who really cared about the people he ended up living next to.
Mike was in his seventies back then, and maybe that’s part of the reason he was so adamant about getting to know us; he came from an era when that was the norm.
These days, it’s not really the norm, is it?
“By and large, we’re lonelier and unhappier than we were in the decades before the Internet age,” writes Susan Pinker in her book The Village Effect: How face-to-Face Contact Can Make Us Happier and Healthier. “Psychologists don’t know why that is exactly, though we do know that close relationships are the strongest drivers of happiness, and that being alone and unaffiliated makes us the most unhappy. The evidence is pretty clear that we are wired for frequent and genuine interaction. As humans, we need to know that we belong.”
Belonging matters. In fact, the relatively new field of social neuroscience, which looks at the relationship between social experiences and biological systems, is overflowing with evidence for how the health of our relationships is directly tied to our mental and physical health. We thrive in community. And if I’m to make meaningful social connection a core part of my thrive plan, then neighbors are just low hanging fruit. They’re literally right next door.
Now, I’m not talking about having tea with Rick and Leslie every week. We’re busy, they’re busy. It would be unrealistic to keep that up. But next time I see Rick washing his car, can I stop for five minutes and have a nice chat? Next time I see our other neighbor walking his dog, can I pause for a few moments to connect?
It all comes down to identifying what matters (in this case, meaningful connection and creating a sense of community) and then being intentional about having what matters be a priority. It’s noticing that these little two- and five-minute moments to connect really matter. It’s slowing down in life long enough to seize the opportunity to connect when it arises.
Sometimes it’s going beyond the organic, spontaneous opportunities to connect—like when we bump into each other while walking our dogs or putting out our recycling—and inviting someone over for tea, like Rick and Leslie did for us.
Remember my neighbor Mike Delaney? While we lost touch after he moved to back to Pennsylvania, when he passed away a few years ago we had the opportunity to connect with his sister. What Marc and I told her was that we would never forget how Mike made us feel; like we mattered, like we belonged. And this was all because Mike took the time to be a good neighbor: to connect, to get to know us, to show he cared. Maybe it’s as simple as stopping to connect for a few minutes a week with someone we live near. Maybe this small act isn’t so small after all.

Full Transcript I was recently sitting across the table from a new friend when she asked me what exactly I do as a coach. “I help people fall madly in love with their lives,” I said. I had never described my work this way, and I was surprised when she welled-up. She was not, I came to discover, madly in love with her life, but she wanted to be.
Falling madly in love with our lives requires first and foremost proclaiming that our lives are of great consequence. This applies to everyone, not just “important people” doing important things. We all start with the same anthem: we matter. This precedes anything we accomplish or produce with our lives. It merely just sits as a basic truth of our existence. We were born therefore we matter. And as someone who matters we each deserve a life we can fall madly in life with.
Being madly in love with your life will mean something different to everyone, of course, as individuals’ life experiences are unique to them. But I’ve discovered that there are a few common threads, some universal through lines, that can help us think about it for ourselves.
And I wanted to share them with you today.
People who are madly in love with their lives…
Life is like a bonsai tree, a precious living work of art that can be shaped and cultivated with precision. People who are madly in love with their lives have carefully shaped and cultivated their decisions and behaviors so that they align precisely with what matters to them. They are intentional and deliberate.
Life doesn’t always go as planned, people disappoint us, sometimes it rains when we really wanted it to be sunny. People who are madly in love with their lives know the difference between making things happen in the world and believing that the world should be exactly as they want it. They’re extraordinarily realistic about what they can control (which is very little) and the things they can’t control (which is mostly everything).
People who are madly in love with their lives deliberately work against their negativity bias. They do it by focusing on what’s good on purpose. They consciously cultivate positive memories, and form healthy, helpful perspectives on negative ones.
Developing the capacity to fully inhabit the present moment—to notice life exquisitely unfolding in real time—allows us to appreciate and relish every ordinary experience life grants us. People who are madly in love with their lives turn off autopilot and instead develop their ability to be here now.
People who are madly in love with their lives know what they say “yes” to and what they say “no” to. They are rarely overwhelmed or overcommitted because they have devoted the necessary time to discover and articulate their values and priorities, and have aligned their inner and outer resources effectively and realistically.
We are not islands. We are gardens. People who are madly in love with their lives show up for others and deliberately invest in the relationships that form the tapestry of their lives. They are interconnected. They know that it’s through our community, not our accomplishments, that we gain our sense of belonging and meaning.
People who are madly in love with their lives deliberately create opportunities to evolve beyond their current capabilities. Without growth, we become stagnant. Without challenge, we become bored and listless. When we’re not stretched, we shrink. They live by a philosophy of “not yet” instead of “I can’t.”
People who are madly in love with their lives have no qualms integrating juicy joys into their day. Maybe that’s a few morning stretches, a perfect cup of tea, a sumptuous bath, or a quiet walk in the woods. Regardless of the activity, there is a sense of feeling rightly entitled to having a life that feels good.
Whatever their vocation, people who are madly in love with their lives can connect the dots between the work that they do each day and the way it contributes to the world around them. They know that money is just one way to measure success. In fact, they’ve learned that success is more accurately measured by the positive difference they make and the way their work makes them and others feel.
People who are madly in love with their lives have tidied up. On the outside, they’ve done the work to resolve soured relationships and clean up past mistakes. They’re not perfect—sometimes they say the wrong thing or let someone down—but they’re quick to make amends and begin again. On the inside, they’ve done the work to forgive themselves and others, choosing to grow from past mistakes and to unburden themselves from resentments.
We get just one life. My new friend recognized this as we talked about falling in love with our lives. And she was enthralled by the idea that she could steer her life toward that aim. She resolved to do so, and I am happy to say that she’s well on her way.
You get just one shot in this body, with these people around you, in these circumstances. And if you’re not careful, this one life might end up pretty ordinary and inconsequential. The choice is yours. Are you ready to fall madly in love with your life?

Full Transcript Wherever you go in life, whatever you do, one thing is for sure: your body will be there with you. The relationship between ourselves and our bodies is our primary connection, so it makes sense that on our journey to cultivate more mindfulness, we begin with habits that support us in being more present with the body. Much like a mother attunes to her baby’s needs, we too can orient our attention inward to discover what nourishment or nurturing the body might be quietly asking for. Through the process of becoming self-attuned, we learn to become our greatest ally. The body houses a tremendously helpful alert system for navigating our needs, thoughts and emotions. For me, a 60-second check-in provides boundless intel about my inner world. I close my eyes and sense that I’m thirsty, a little tight in my mid back from being at my computer all day, and I’m feeling residual frustration from a conversation I had this morning. What was lurking below now floats to the surface to be tended to or guided by. Being present in the body is a homecoming, a re-inhabiting, an opportunity to return to and reengage with ourselves. It’s where we quite literally come to our senses, or what Jon Kabat-Zinn calls “falling awake.” Attuning to the present moment, most often through our bodily senses, we experience the delight and beauty of being alive. Of course, some of us may encounter physical or emotional pain as we look inward, which can make tuning into the body uncomfortable and confronting. Through mindfulness, we can begin to cultivate a friendliness, or at least a sense of solidarity, toward what’s happening inside, even if we don’t like it. As we turn towards ourselves and create habits of fondly tending to and accepting our body—its shape, sensations and stages—we turn resistance, struggle and aversion into acceptance, compassion and love. You are experiencing life with and through your body; it’s a faithful and enduring companion. The practices I’m going to share today will support you in creating a mindful body connection. We reap what we sow. When we fill up our tanks and refuse to run on fumes, we begin to tap into endless resources that not only give us what we need to do our work in the world but also to stay steady when the unpredictable winds of adversity inevitably blow our way. Healthy habits that attune us to our inner worlds provide the gateway to better self-care and a sense of harmony with ourselves. Mind-body connection isn’t just a spiritual pursuit; it’s an incredibly pragmatic practice. Imagine driving a car without a dashboard. You’d never know the status of your speed, gas, tire pressure or oil. Thankfully, your car has gauges for all of these key metrics, which allows you to care for your car and keep it running. You too have a dashboard. I’d like to offer you some practices that support you in tuning into it. Stop and Drop During my Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) training, I learned the acronym S.T.O.P. as an effective way to quickly drop into the body. S.T.O.P. stands for Stop… Take a breath… Observe… Proceed. I think of it like tapping my brakes when I am so often moving full speed ahead. But when I learn to drop in for just 30 seconds, I slow down long enough to notice what’s happening inside and around me, making me aware of my environment, thoughts, emotions and physical sensations. You start by gently closing your eyes or relaxing your gaze as you place one hand or both on the middle of your chest. Bring your attention to one inhale and one exhale, without any intention to change or deepen the breath. Just be with this one in and out breath. Internally, say “hello” to your body and this moment, then look to label your experiences on the inside and outside with single words. Perhaps the words “busy,” “stressed,” “tight,” or “tired” come to mind. Maybe you notice you’re thirsty, hungry or clenched. Tend to your needs; take a sip of water, grab a snack or gently roll the shoulders and neck. Use any time you shift from one task to another, move from one place to another, or come and go from your home, as a prompt for this stop and drop practice. If you can aim to practice this habit several times a day. The Mindful Body Scan Scanning the body for emotions, tension and discomfort is a useful way to quickly tune into our state and triage our needs. We observe sensations, good or bad, that have escaped our notice while our attention was focused elsewhere. It’s also how we detect and diffuse stress. The body has a physiological response to the fast-paced, overly demanding world most of us live in, often unnecessarily flooding the body with hormones such as cortisol. By tuning into our stress response, we can begin to release it. Start in a seated position, closing your eyes and taking a few grounding breaths. Repeat an anchoring phrase in your mind, such as “I am here now.” Beginning with your feet, slowly bring your awareness to the body’s sensations. As your awareness travels up through the body, notice any warmth, tension, even numbness or absence of sensation. If your mind wanders, which it will, repeat your phrase, breathe, and bring your attention back to where you left off. When you reach the top of your head, finishing by taking a few nourishing breaths, perhaps placing your hand on your heart as a sign of friendly camaraderie with yourself. Connect this practice to a cue you experience frequently, such as waiting. This could include waiting for your kettle to boil or a Zoom call to start. Notice moments when you’d normally “kill time” by checking your phone and choose instead to do a quick, 3 to 5-minute body scan. I’ve noticed that the people I know who are thriving tend to take really good care of themselves. It can take a lot of effort to get through the day, but those people who have created habits around caring for themselves with consistency and deliberateness seem to have boundless energy and vibrancy. Use these practices to create little homecoming back to your body.

When it comes to aging well, we often think about increasing our health and doing what we can to lower our risk of disease. But author and researcher Becca Levy sees another aspect of aging we ought to consider: our beliefs. In her new book, Breaking the Age Code: How Your Age Beliefs Determine How Long and Well You Live, Becca outlines a science-backed argument for how aging isn't just a physiological experience, it's a social and physiological one, too.

Full Transcript We hear a lot about mindfulness these days. In fact, I kind of think we hear about it so much that we might have lost sight of what it actually and what it’s actually for.
To put it simply, mindfulness is our ability to be aware of what’s happening around us and inside us. It’s not meditation, although meditation can be a great tool. And it’s not being present in every moment of our lives, because that’s impossible. And you know what, I like being lost in my thoughts sometimes.
The thing that I think gets lost when we talk about mindfulness and our goal to become more mindful is the point. What is the point or purpose of being more mindful?
Mindfulness is about being present, but it’s really about who we are being in the present when we consciously direct and choose how we want to show up in the world.
For example:
More compassionate Less judgmental More patient Less hurried More easygoing Less rigid More calm Less anxious More present Less distracted More disciplined Less erratic More self-loving Less self-criticizing More generous Less selfish More grateful Less entitled More joyful Less moody More conscious Less asleep
I know for myself, when I am judgmental, hurried, rigid, and anxious, I suffer and I’m not all that great to be around. When I am compassionate, patient, easygoing, and calm, I feel lighter and happier, and I create less disconnect and discord in my relationships. In my experience, being mindful makes me a better person toward myself and toward others, and it helps me to create stronger and deeper relationships.
So much of our sense of safety and belonging comes from how well we are able to form healthy and solid attachments to ourselves and to the people we care about. Interestingly, the presence of connective and harmonious relationships is a key wellness indicator, as discovered in an eight-decade-long study outlined in the book, The Longevity Project. We now know that it is our relationships (or lack of) more than our diet or genes that determine how healthy we are and how long we live. Connecting the dots: mindfulness helps us choose better ways of being, which contributes to better relationships, and harmonious relationships make us healthier.
It also creates white space, gaps in-between activity, and stillness or silence amidst the internal chatter and outer noise. Mindfulness gives us pauses, even if only for a second or two, when we can return to ourselves.
How many of us can sit with our thoughts and feelings, especially difficult ones, long enough to let them pass? Or do we need to distract ourselves as quickly as possible? Mindfulness trains us to withstand more discomfort, not so that we can become titans of pain, but so that we can help the pain pass.
But there are many Barriers to Mindfulness
We can set up an incredible support system of habits to cultivate mindfulness and conscious living—my book, Better Daily Mindfulness Habits is filled with them. But it’s all for nothing if we don’t also take the time to remove the hurdles that impede our ability to be mindful.
Technology Smart phones have become an essential, seemingly indispensable, aspect of our lives. The trouble is, smart phones and apps distract us from the present moment, producing unconscious, repetitive behaviors, like picking it up and scrolling mindlessly dozens of times each day.
Lack of Self-Care The better we care for ourselves, the better we become at responding to life’s inevitable challenges and trials. Sleep, good nutrition, regular meals, rest, exercise, play and connection with others are just some of the many elements that fill our resilience tanks and help us live with more presence.
Multi-Tasking Most of us have developed the skill of being able to do many things at once. No wonder we struggle with mindfulness. While we’ve become quite clever at stacking multiple tasks together, it rarely makes us good at what we’re trying to accomplish. In fact, it often makes us much worse. It’s truly impossible to connect with others, ourselves and the nowness of a moment when we are doing several things at once. Part of the intention to live a more mindful, conscious life is the commitment to doing only one thing at a time.
Clutter Besides creating a sense of sanctuary, simplicity and cleanness, a tidy, organized environment helps us feel more solid on the inside. Clutter robs us of our energy and gusto. It makes us feel crowded in, overly contained, frustrated, even hopeless. But when we can begin to eliminate our outer chaos, we start to settle our inner seas.
Lack of Solitude Solitude, when it’s chosen, is beneficial for us. The time we spend on our own gives us space to contemplate our lives and discover who we are. It is in the gaps between our interactions with others—either directly with another human being or through technology—that we power down and access our intuition, creativity and insight. If we are to presence ourselves to our inner worlds, and participate deliberately in our growth, we need solitude.
I invite you to take a look at your own life and consider:
It all comes back to being intentional, having some deliberateness about the way we want to show up in this world and then using the tools of mindfulness—meditation, journaling, reflection, time alone, walks in the woods—to keep those intentions clear and present.
Otherwise, we’re just sleepwalking through life on autopilot. And what kind of life is that?

| 02 Nov 2021 | EP154: What’s Taking Up Space | 00:22:52 | |
For episode homepage, resources and links, visit: https://kristenmanieri.com/wednesday-workshops/
Description We carry a lot. Sometimes it’s worry or regret. Maybe we have unfinished projects or unresolved conflict weighing us down. Maybe it’s just clutter. Regardless, our thoughts take up space, especially when they seem to go unresolved, feel unsettled or cause us to ruminate for long periods of time without any productive action or resolution. This week I offer my thoughts on how to identify what may be taking up (too much) space in your mind, burdening you unnecessarily and robbing you of energy and creativity that would be best served elsewhere. Get clarity, let some things go, decide on a way forward, and get intentional about liberating yourself from whatever is weighing you down. Listen with a journal or piece of paper handy so you can do the work of exploring this topic and how it relates specifically to your life.

Did you grow up watching Mister Rogers' Neighborhood? Do remember the trolley or King Friday? That red cardigan? The opening song? The show debuted on February 19, 1968 and aired through 2001, so it’s safe to say that generations of kids have grown up watching the more than 870 episodes created by Fred Rogers, who died in 2003. Fred Rogers was infinitely passionate about childhood education and using television as a tool to affirm children’s self-worth and offer them a place where they felt accepted and understood. In this episode, we feature Shea Tuttle, the author of the forthcoming book "In Search of Mister Rogers."

| 13 Jan 2018 | 010: Emotions as Allies with Karla McLaren | 01:00:10 | |
Our culture often teaches us to be uncomfortable with emotions, to avoid them, and to set them aside when making important decisions. But neuroscience would have us see them in a different way. In this episode, empathy researcher Karla McLaren invites us to see emotions as data, as fundamental aspects of our intelligence, and inescapable parts of our cognition. Whether you like it or not, your emotions are always at play. But the good news is, Karla can help us understand the wisdom that they bring and what a gift our emotions truly are.
Guest Bio Karla McLaren, M.Ed. is an award-winning author, social science researcher, and empathy pioneer. Her lifelong work focuses on her grand unified theory of emotions, which revalues even the most “negative” emotions and opens startling new pathways into self-awareness, effective communication, and healthy empathy. Karla is the author of The Art of Empathy: A Complete Guide to Life’s Most Essential Skill (2013), The Language of Emotions: What Your Feelings are Trying to Tell You (2010), and the multi-media online course Emotional Flow: Becoming Fluent in the Language of Emotions (2012). She has taught at University of San Francisco, Omega Institute, Naropa University, Kripalu Center, Hollyhock Learning Centre, and the Association for Humanistic Psychology. Her applied work, Dynamic Emotional Integration (also known as DEI) is a trailblazing approach to emotions and empathy that reveals the genius and the healing power within the emotional realm. Licensed DEI Trainers and Consultants are available in the United States and internationally. Karla has also developed the groundbreaking Six Essential Aspects of Empathy model that highlights all of the processes in healthy empathy and makes them easily understandable, accessible, and attainable. This fully realized model teaches people how to access, develop, and manage their empathy intentionally. It also explicitly welcomes people who have been exiled from earlier models of empathy (such as men, boys, and autistic people). With her husband, Tino Plank MA, MSN, RN, Karla developed the Healthy Empathy® program. Healthy Empathy® helps health and healing professionals develop healthy and sustainable empathy and compassion skills in their practice, in their workplace, and in their lives.

Many of us have relationships with people we see every day, maybe all day, every day. And what Carrie and I discussed today was how to add more juice to those relationships and why there is so much value in having connection rituals.

Cycling Without Age has now spread to all corners of Denmark, and since 2015, to another 41 countries around the world.
