The Mindful FIRE Podcast

Welcome to The Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond. I'm your host Adam Coelho and I'm so glad you're here. This guided meditation practice is an invitation to set everything in your busy life to the side for a little while and to rest in the incredible simplicity of this moment. We all have so much going on in our lives: things to do, things to plan, things we’re worried about, kids and family to take care of, jobs to do, etc. The list is endless. However, if we choose to, we can set aside everything that has come before and everything that is yet to come and just drop into this timeless moment of now, if only for one breath. That’s what we’re practicing with this guided meditation practice. It’s my invitation to you to rest in the simplicity of having nothing to do besides resting in the awareness of just this in breath and just this out-breath, exactly as they are moment by moment by moment and breath by breath by breath. I hope you enjoy this practice and would love to hear what you think. Drop me a DM on Instagram @themindfulfirepodcast. Be well, my friends. More Guided Meditations : https://bit.ly/3hb0voCMore Inspiring Interviews : https://bit.ly/2UF71MFFull Show Notes : https://bit.ly/3h9JVFv🔥 Did you know that only 14% of reorgs are successful?

Welcome to The Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond. I'm your host Adam Coelho and I'm so glad you're here. As we transition seasons from Spring to Summer, what are you carrying that is no longer serving you? It may be the weight of things you said you would do or change when at the start of the year. It may be obvious or it may be more subtle.  I know that I personally have been noticing a story in my head about all the things I told myself I would do this year and did not get to yet. I've even been feeling bad about not meditating as regularly as I would like. As I pause during this period of transition from Spring to Summer, I've asked myself a wise question, shared by a friend many years ago, "Is this useful?". The reality is, it's not. With that awareness, can I choose to be kind and compassionate to myself and simply let it go?That's what today's meditation is all about. It's a self compassion practice that invites you to let go of anything that is not serving you as you transition into the summer and the second half of the year. I hope you receive it as an invitation to be kinder and gentler with yourself, because you're carrying a lot this year and last year. Put some of that weight down and move forward fresh.   Full Show Notes - https://bit.ly/3vu4d1vMore Inspiring Interviews - https://bit.ly/3gqUjJKMore Guided Meditations - https://bit.ly/2U6EHCJ🔥 Did you know that only 14% of reorgs are successful?

“It forced me to be intentional about every choice that I make and that every choice can have a consequential impact.  Obviously not everything is gonna be life-changing, but at least treat every decision, every moment that life presents you with the attention it deserves.” - Eric SanabriaWelcome to the Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond. I’m your host Adam Coelho and I’m so glad you’re here. In today’s episode I’m joined by my good friend Eric Sanabria. Eric and I used to work together at Google and now Eric is the Chief Business Officer for Oyster Financial in Mexico city.In this episode, Eric and I explore how he came to learn to trust himself and his intuition about what he really needed during a difficult period in his life and how he ultimately took a three month sabbatical from his work at Google and how that sabbatical redefined his life and his priorities.Eric felt this need within himself to take a break and he trusted this intuition and this feeling of simply one to take some time off, turn inward and to go to Mexico, to play his guitar. And that's exactly what he did.One thing that stands out to me about this whole conversation is how important it is to take a step back sometimes to slow down, to create some space where we can turn down the volume and the busy-ness so that we can see more clearly what's going on in our minds and our hearts and our bodies.And really that's what he did with this three months sabbatical. He cleared some space to go to Mexico, to play music, to work on the book, the artist's way, which included a lot of journaling and self exploration. And he really came to understand what's important to him, what he wants to get out of life and make some pretty big changes, ultimately resulting in him living and working in Mexico. In this episode, Eric share some concrete practices for how you can tap into what it is you need, what it is you want, and to work through some of the limiting beliefs that might be coming up that tell you that you shouldn't pursue what you feel you need and how to deal with that using journaling, mindfulness and other techniques .I really enjoyed this episode with my friend Eric sanabria. I think there's a lot of wisdom here.  I learned a lot. It was a very reflective episode for me. I hope that you enjoy it as well. 🔥 Did you know that only 14% of reorgs are successful?

Welcome to the Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond. On today's guided meditation we practice sending compassion and loving kindness to the people of India who are suffering terribly under the overwhelming 4th wave of COVID-19. This practice of sending them well wishes nourishes your own heart and combats a feeling of helplessness.It may not immediately solve the issue but it orients your mind towards compassion, towards helping those who are suffering. That is powerfulIn this practice we first settle our mind and body. After some time we transition to cultivating compassion through the practice of loving kindness (metta). We expand our circle of care, starting with ourselves, out until we include all the people suffering in India and ultimately all people, everywhere. I hope you find this supportive during these difficult times. 🔥 Did you know that only 14% of reorgs are successful?

Have you been thinking about giving meditation a try? Meaning to try it? Or have you tried it and meant to get back to it? To establish a regular practice? If so, this practice is for you. I recorded this practice, a guided introduction, as an invitation to anyone who wants to try meditation and mindfulness, whether they've tried it in the past.  I chose to keep it incredibly simple since after all, mindfulness is really simple. It's really just paying attention to the present moment with an attitude of openness, curiosity and kindness. I invite you to give meditation a try (or another try) with this short, easy to follow practice. And if you do give it a try, let me know what you thought on instagram, @TheMindfulFIREPodcast. #mindfulness #meditation #guidedmeditation #trysomethingnew #meditationpractice 🔥 Did you know that only 14% of reorgs are successful?
