In this enlightening discussion, Shinzen Young, a mindfulness meditation teacher with over 50 years of experience, shares his profound insights into the art of meditation. He emphasizes the importance of developing foundational attention skills to enhance both meditation and everyday life.

He also introduces the See, Hear, Feel technique, encouraging listeners to refine their practices for greater effectiveness.

Creating the life that you desire is a daily endeavor. It's done by stringing together intentional, productive, meaningful days, one day at a time. And one of the best ways to do that is to use strategic questions to direct your focus and actions in order to optimize each day of your life. Last week I sent you an email titled "ONE question to help you experience your most meaningful Thanksgiving ever." Well, I've since pondered the value of applying that ONE question—not just on holidays—but EVERY single day, in order to create the most meaningful LIFE possible. So, for today's podcast, I'm exploring how asking, answering, and applying ONE question can help you to create and experience the life you desire, day-after-day-after-day, every single day, for years to come. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why it's so important to be intentional about how you show up every day. My Top 5 answers to this ONE question. The power of being at peace with the things you can't change - and why we can always choose between inner peace and inner turmoil. The difference between intellectual gratitude and heartfelt, earth-shattering gratitude. Why you sometimes have to believe in the belief someone else has in you until your own belief catches up.

Do you have a clear vision for what the next 10 years of your life will be like? If not, would you like my help creating one? If you have one, do you think it would be beneficial to revisit it? Last week, I came across a journal entry I wrote back in 2016. It was titled "The Miracle Morning Movement 10 Year Vision." When I reread it, I was inspired by some of the possibilities, amazed to realize how much of it had already come true, and reminded that we can all benefit from creating and maintaining a 10-year vision that drives our behavior each day. I want you to be able to look back on this moment and say to yourself, "I did it. I got clear on the life I was committed to creating, what I needed to do, who I needed to become to create the most fulfilling life I could imagine, and I made it happen." Today, Shawn joins me to talk about the astounding problems with our healthcare system, the importance of diet and exercise in illness prevention, and the major cultural changes that need to happen to help us become a healthier society. KEY TAKEAWAYS First, you're going to hear a detailed example of a 10-year vision to show you what it looks like when things come to fruition. Then we're going to explore why creating a 10-year vision is worth your time. Finally, you're going to learn a step-by-step process you can use to create a 10-year vision of your own.

When I was younger, I made a decision about my diet that forever changed my life: I will value the impact that food has on my body above the taste. At first, nothing changed overnight, but that decision gradually became my guiding principle so much so that I rarely put anything in my body that doesn't add value to my health and energy. When it comes to our health, and building our immunity to avoid viruses, disease, and illness, what we eat is arguably the single most important decision we can make. This year has made it more obvious than ever that the United States is the sickest nation in human history, and many people are being drastically affected by preventable illnesses. However, with all this instability comes an incredible opportunity to change. Researcher and bestselling author, Shawn Stevenson—who joined me on the podcast previously to talk about his book Sleep Smarter—has just released his new book, Eat Smarter: Use the Power of Food to Reboot Your Metabolism, Upgrade Your Brain, and Transform Your Life. Today, Shawn joins me to talk about the astounding problems with our healthcare system, the importance of diet and exercise in illness prevention, and the major cultural changes that need to happen to help us become a healthier society. KEY TAKEAWAYS The major underlying issues affecting the health of so many people right now that aren't being discussed - and what we can do about it. How the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the effects of years of ignoring chronic illness. How stress and uncertainty make us physically sicker by suppressing immune function. How to improve and optimize your gut bacteria and the other microorganisms that inhabit your body.

When you hear the word freedom, what do you think about? Today I'm talking about how we can all achieve what I consider to be the ultimate freedom or specifically "inner freedom" – the ability to choose how you experience every aspect of your life in each moment. When we have inner freedom, we are in control of our inner world and our experience of life, no matter what's going on. You have the ability to choose your experience of every aspect of your life, including how you experience other people. If you can attain inner freedom, you win. It doesn't matter what's going on in your life, in your bank account, at work, in the government, or in how other people show up—you're in control. Today, I want to talk about how to achieve such a state of inner freedom, even during the most difficult times. You'll learn why worrying is usually an unnecessary use of our energy, how to transcend inner turmoil, and experience life exactly as you choose.

I think you're going to love today's podcast episode! Maybe I'm a little biased, but I really had a blast with this one. :^D It's a "behind the scenes" conversation from last week, between me and The Miracle Morning Movie team – Director (Nick Conedera) and Producer (Theresa Laurico) – on what it took to make this film. How do you make a documentary? How do you take an idea, especially if you don't know what you're doing, and turn it into a full-length feature film for an audience of millions? I've spent the last several years trying to answer these questions as I've worked on the Miracle Morning Movie. Nick and Theresa have provided me with invaluable guidance and support on this journey. They are some of my closest friends, a big part of my life, and advocates of the Miracle Morning mission and movement – and they helped inspire this incredible vision and turn it into a reality. Today, you'll learn the story behind the Miracle Morning Movie, how we built a powerful network of people all over the world to contribute to the film, and the many challenges, delays, and complications we all faced along the way.

With the world premiere of The Miracle Morning Movie approaching, I've been reflecting a lot on how TMM Movement has evolved over the past 12 years. What began as my little morning routine that I shared in a book, has since evolved into an international community and a worldwide movement. It's had an astounding impact on millions of people as individuals and collectively, one person and one morning at a time. The Miracle Morning enables each of us to go out into the world as the best version of ourselves. It gives us the power to impact every life we touch and has had an immeasurable ripple effect on the world around us. Today, I'm looking back at how the Miracle Morning has evolved. Whether you've been practicing the Miracle Morning for years or just joined the community recently, I'll be sharing tons of behind-the-scenes stuff you've likely never heard before, exploring what it really means to elevate the consciousness of humanity, and diving deep into just what makes this practice so transformative and powerful.

This is truly one of my favorite interviews I've ever done. I've been a fan of John Assaraf for over a decade. Like millions of people did, I discovered him through his appearance in the 500-million+ copy selling documentary, The Secret. John is also a NY Times bestselling author and the founder of NeuroGym, where he helps equip people with the tools to repattern, rescript, and reshape their subconscious patterns. Today, John joins the podcast to talk about the neuroscience beneath goal achievement, how thoughts lead to behavior that generates results, and the "innercises" you can start doing now to figure out how to start forging a path forward, eliminate obstacles, and create a clear path to your goals.

We all struggle. It's part of life. Whether our struggle is due to a lack of clarity, a lack of confidence, feeling overwhelmed, stressed, frustrated or something else – struggle is an almost inevitable part of being human. So, how do we proceed to pursue and achieve our goals in the midst of the struggle? Whether your struggle is mental, emotional, physical, logistical, financial—or all of the above—you may find yourself asking, "What's the most important thing for me to I do right now? Do I have what it takes? How can I pull this off?" I've been experiencing all of the above as I'm working to launch The Miracle Morning Movie world premiere on 12/12/2020. When I sat down to record this podcast, I was feeling overwhelmed and frustrated, and this episode was born from my own attempt to transcend the struggles that I'm facing right now. Today, I want to help you understand what you're struggling with, find clarity, and take on the challenges you need to face in order to succeed and achieve your goals.
