Book: Mindfulness by Ellen Langer 📚
Ellen Langer is one of the world’s leading research scientists, the first tenured female professor in Harvard’s Psychology Department, and creator of what she calls the psychology of possibility—challenging the limits of what we perceive to be impossible.

“Mindfulness lets us see things in a new light and believe in the possibility of change.” ~ Ellen Langer

This book was published over 25 years ago in 1989—before the concept of “mindfulness” went mainstream. Ellen focuses on a Western orientation to mindfulness rather than the popular Eastern.

If you would like to learn more about this more Western approach to mindfulness, check out this book and some of the Big Ideas, including:
- False Limits: we want to be mindful of how quickly and easily we set false limits on ourselves. Explore Ellen's idea of the 'psychology of possibility'.
- Process orientation: instead of focusing on whether we can or can't do something, focus on asking 'How can I do it?' and explore a mindset which is focused on the process, vs. a closed-mindset view of only looking at the goals to be achieved.
- Work vs. Play: Spend some time reframing how you view wht you do, and can you begin to shift how you approach what you do on a day to day basis? Can you begin to just open to see see work as merely 'play'.? Try it on for size and see how that shifts your energy and mood.

So much more classic goodness in this book, to review a six-page summary of this book and over 600 others on many subjects, try out this 30-day free trial of the Heroic self-mastery site: www.heroic.us/optimize/all-pn?fpr=maggie78

Monday Mindfulness with Yoga Sutras 🧘🏽
Today's Sutra is around the theme of 'Our True Nature'.

1.3 तदा द्रष्टुः स्वरूपे‌உवस्थानम् ॥ 3 ॥
tadā draṣṭuḥ svarūpe‌உvasthānam ॥ 3 ॥
In the state of Yoga we abide in our true nature which never mutates, it has no form, it is eternal, is the truth of our being and is pure bliss, it is timeless.

What comes up for you when you consider WHO you are at your core; what is the essence of your authentic self?

These yoga sutras, or “threads” (as sutra translated from Sanskrit) of wisdom offer guidelines for living a meaningful and purposeful life. They provide a road map to self realization, which is the purpose of Human life. It gives framework to our life.

And yet a roadmap is only as useful and meaningful as the journey we create for ourselves. So, consider these word in today's mindfulness practice. Share your thoughts and insights around: What is the truth of our being? How do we recognize and recognize that eternal aspect of our Self?

And today, on the auspicious day of celebrating Holi - may you be guided by the extra opportunity to welcome in Spring and to recognize our own power to choose victory of good over evil, in our thoughts, emotions, and actions.
