    119. How to Create More Space and Simplicity in Life Through a Realistic Mindfulness Practice and Nature Therapy with Dr. Nina Smiley

    Today’s guest is Dr. Nina Smiley, Director of Mindfulness Programming at Mohonk Mountain House and co-author of The Three Minute Meditator (translated into 7 languages), Mindfulness in Nature, and MetaPhysical Fitness. Nina delights in sharing simple and effective mindfulness meditation techniques and philosophies that can be used by real people in real lives (when they really need it) - one moment at a time! As the Director of Mindfulness at New York's Historic Mohonk Mountain House, Nina presents programs and teaches private classes on mindfulness and wellness. She creates and leads special topic sessions that address issues including weight loss, insomnia, relationships, parenting, and more. In a world with constant distractions that abound in modern life—from smartphones to social media—it is imperative we seek the solace and comfort of nature for our well-being. Nina's philosophy is rooted in giving guidance to mindfulness techniques that allow a meaningful way to nurture ourselves through a sense of spaciousness, calm, and connection with the out-of-doors. Nina’s work has been featured in The New York Times, O, The Oprah Magazine; Real Simple; Shape; Self; Huffington Post; InStyle; Organic Spa; Spafinder; Family Circle; and Prevention. In our conversation, we discuss: How there are many different ways to meditate, and incorporating a mindfulness practice into your life might be simpler than you thought The components of mindfulness, how the breath can be used as a tool, and how we can get more curious - and less judgmental - about our thoughts What creating more space even means, and how you can use nature to tap into this spaciousness, and have more of a sensory experience The power of nature, the benefits of forest bathing, and how you can reap the benefits even when you might not live in an environment with a lot of nature How to live more simply, learn to let go of things you don’t need, and free yourself from distraction  Gratisfied Healthified Online Magazine Instagram: @gratisfied @healthified Empower Bar Baking Mix  NEW Gratisfied Bars!

    115. How to Set Goals For Your Future Self and Celebrate the Process Along the Way with Chad Hufford

    Today’s guest is Chad Hufford founder and owner of the boutique financial planning firm, Veritas Wealth Management. Born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, Chad grew up in the financial industry, but also developed a strong background in athletics, nutrition and performance psychology. Chad brings a coaching mindset and the heart of a teacher to financial planning and investing as he strives to both empower and educate his audience to not only become better investors, but to live more intentionally and create an abundant life. When I first got introduced to Chad, I thought he would be a great guest to talk about financial health and our relationship with money, but the conversation evolved to be about so much more. In fact, and you probably can’t tell, I got choked up at one point, and who knew it would be a conversation with a financial advisor to almost bring me to tears. Chad believes that evaluating our mindset around money can help clarify our mindset around other areas of life as well, and we talk a lot about health, wellness, general goal setting, and how to create a more purposeful and abundant life.  Other highlights of our conversation include:  Why identity and getting clear on your future version of self can help create sustainable habit change for your physical and financial health Why celebrating the inputs of the process is more important than looking at the outcomes and results The one question to ask yourself when making a decision  Why we view our future self as separate from who we are today, and how to integrate this vision into our current self Why Chad believes money is a tool and why gratitude and having a positive attitude will set you up for success Gratisfied Healthified Online Magazine Instagram: @gratisfied @healthified Empower Bar Baking Mix  NEW Gratisfied Bars!
