#10 Dr. Steve Taubman: Mindfulness Mastery
I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Steve Taubman on today’s episode of my podcast, "In the Arena of Success!" Dr. Steve, the brilliant mind behind "UnHypnosis," shared some incredible insights that I think you'll find fun and practical. Here are the highlights you can take to the streets and start using immediately.
Letting Go: A Heartfelt Lesson
Dr. Steve shared a touching story about his late dog, Woody. After Woody passed, Steve created a little shrine for him but realized it was time to let go and spread Woody's ashes in meaningful places. This act brought him a sense of lightness and freedom.
Key Insight: Holding on too tightly to grief can weigh you down. Finding ways to honor your memories while letting go can be incredibly freeing. Think about what you might be holding onto too tightly and consider how you can release it.
Embrace Life’s Surprises
Steve told a fantastic tale from his trip to Guatemala, where he bumped into another chiropractor, and it was a story that was eerily similar. These unexpected moments of connection were like little miracles.
Key Insight: If you're open to them, life is full of surprising connections. Step out of your comfort zone, and you might stumble upon amazing opportunities. Embrace the unknown and see what magic unfolds.
Breaking Free from Mental Barriers
One of Steve's most eye-opening stories was from a hypnosis show in which he convinced a participant there was an invisible wall in front of him. The participant couldn’t move past the imaginary barrier despite his best efforts.
Key Insight: We often create invisible barriers in our minds. We can break through these barriers by focusing our mental energy and questioning our limiting beliefs. Try mindfulness or meditation to sharpen your focus and overcome these mental blocks.
Easy Mindfulness Practices
Steve has some excellent, easy-to-implement mindfulness practices that help you stay present and reduce stress.
Feel Your Feet: Focus on the physical sensation of your body pressing into your chair or the feeling in your feet. It’s simple but grounds you in the present moment.
Take an Awe Break: Spend a moment each day looking at something beautiful, whether a landscape, music, or art. This can significantly boost your mood and resilience.
Key Insight: Simple mindfulness exercises can make a big difference in your day. Whether you focus on physical sensations or appreciate beauty, these small practices can help you stay centered and calm.
Persistence Pays Off
We also talked about the importance of sticking with your goals. Steve mentioned how Taylor Swift’s consistent effort over 20 years led to her massive success.
Key Insight: Success doesn’t happen overnight. It takes dedication and persistence. Keep pushing through challenges, and your hard work will eventually pay off.
Conclusion
Dr. Steve’s stories and insights are a treasure trove of practical wisdom. Whether it’s letting go of what holds you back, embracing the unexpected, or breaking through mental barriers, his advice is something we can all apply.
