    Are you Being True to Yourself? How to Live without Regret

    You might think “do what makes you happy... you only live once.” But what happens when other people depend on you? When you have responsibilities, a career, a family, bills to pay… and yet a life that doesn’t quite feel like your own? You can do all the calming things - spa days, meditate, practice “self-care,” regulate your nervous system… BUT “You can’t self-care your way out of a life that is not in alignment.” (Cory Muscara) In this episode, I explore what it means to stop living for other people’s approval, question the cultural conditioning that tells us what our lives are supposed to look like and find a way to honor our responsibilities without abandoning ourselves in the process. Because the goal isn't to blow up your life and “follow your bliss” at the expense of all else. It’s to build a life - to consciously choose HOW - you want to be living. 🌐 Work with Me: jonorsini.com 🔔 Subscribe for a new episode every Wednesday: Mindfulness Unscripted with Jon Orsini (YouTube, Apple, Spotify, Substack) Jon Orsini is an award-winning Broadway actor & Somatic Breathwork Guide on the faculty at Kripalu Center helping you break through internal blocks and regulate your nervous system in real time to feel, perform and live better #breathwork #somaticbreathwork #nervoussystemregulation #anxietyrelief #kripalucenter #stressrelief #somatichealing #meditation This is a public episode.

I want to see your heart.” Mentor Ellis Raab Epic Curtain Calls The Coast of Utopia Henry IV Old Globe, San Diego The Nance, Nathan Lane “I rehearse for a living.” Living the Journey vs. the Destination The Comeback, Lisa Kudrow, Michael Patrick King Macbeth, Lincoln Center, Ethan Hawke Classical Acting Tom Stoppard “All good is the same good” - Kindness You don’t need the answer when you’re living in the process Auteur vs. Egoless Collaboration Heart-Centered Storytelling Rick Ellis, Roger Rees Barry Edelstein I Wanna Be Like You Podcast Making Peace with Aging Joy and Hope at the End of the Journey Meditation, Yoga, Breathwork Letting Go and Egolessness Gratitude 🌐 Work with Me: jonorsini.com 🔔 Subscribe for a new episode every Wednesday: Mindfulness Unscripted with Jon Orsini (YouTube, Apple, Spotify, Substack) Jon Orsini is an award-winning Broadway actor & Somatic Breathwork Guide on the faculty at Kripalu Center helping you awaken inner wisdom and regulate your nervous system in real time to feel, perform and live better #breathwork #broadway #meditation #theater #acting #directing This is a public episode.

    This matcha fueled rant hits on many concepts but all coming back to two central themes: 1) Penetrate one thing deeply enough and reveal the whole universe, and 2) Creating space for responsiveness (rather than reactivity) leads to new choices in relationship, and interaction by interaction we can re-pattern our nervous system to move from surviving to thriving.It all begins with breath. 🌐 Work with me: jonorsini.com 🔔 Subscribe for weekly episodes - Mindfulness Unscripted Jon Orsini is a somatic breathwork guide on the faculty at Kripalu Center & award-winning Broadway actor helping you regulate in real time to feel, perform and live better #breathwork #somaticbreathwork #nervoussystemregulation #anxietyrelief #kripalucenter #stressrelief #somatichealing #meditation This is a public episode.
