While each path carries its own potential pros and cons, overcoming these limiting beliefs may be the key to preventing future crises and living your best, most fulfilled life.

From reduced stress to greater focus, practicing meditation can offer a wide array of physical, mental, and emotional health benefits. However, many people – particularly business leaders and other high achievers – find meditation challenging, as they struggle to quiet their minds and eliminate distractions. Breath work offers a powerful way to access the many benefits of meditation, thereby opening yourself to greater clarity and creativity. 
Jason Campbell, our guest in Episode 196 of The Mindset Game® podcast, began his journey into meditation, music, and wellness 46 years ago, when his teacher told him to “never listen to notes, but instead listen to the space between the notes.” An accomplished composer and pianist, he has released over 100 albums and has been number one on multiple Billboard and Amazon charts. Jason's unique perspective on music, health, wellness, and spiritual growth comes from his lifelong study of both music and the ancient arts of Eastern health, medicine, meditation, and enlightenment. In this week’s episode, Jason shares the following insights from his signature program, “Breath Mastery for Entrepreneurs”:
The core meaning of meditation, which is to stop thinking – however briefly – and simply be present in the moment  The concept of the three treasures – matter, energy, and consciousness – and how they may come into play during meditation How quieting the mind can help enhance the function of the pineal gland, a part of the brain that functions like an antenna to help us access a higher level of wisdom and creativity  Jason then guides us through a three-minute breath exercise designed to help us pause our cognitive thought processes and be more present.

Have you ever felt that despite your best efforts, you are falling short of achieving what you truly want in life?

Similar to the bumpers you'd put up in a bowling alley, the bumpers that Nic shares with us will allow you to play all in with 100% effort, while keeping you out of the gutter. In this episode, he discusses the following strategies to help you live the life you really want:
The value of concentrating your efforts on trying to prevent negative outcomes in the first place, as opposed to allowing them to happen and then recovering – and how sharpening your sense of hindsight and establishing your non-negotiables can help in this process  Why focusing on improving your “rolling average” may be a more effective and sustainable approach than trying to constantly improve upon your best results  Why it’s crucial to be honest with yourself in getting clear on what you truly want in life, and constantly checking in with yourself to identify what’s most important to you   To learn more about Nic, visit https://www.nicpeterson.com, or look for “Bumpers” on Amazon.
