Locate a quiet, comfortable place where you won't be interrupted. This could be a cozy room or a peaceful garden. Your environment plays a crucial role in this sensory journey.

Find Your Space

Start by closing your eyes and taking deep breaths. Allow your body to relax gradually, starting from your toes to the top of your head.

Relax Your Body

Shift your attention to your hands. Notice any sensations you feel warmth, coolness, tingling. This is the beginning of your sensory exploration.

Focus on Your Hands

Using your dominant hand's index finger, gently trace circles on your other hand's palm. Pay attention to the feeling as your finger moves across your skin.

Trace Circles on Your Hands

Even with your finger lifted, focus on the sensation in your palm. Visualize the circle still being traced on your palm. This is your mind creating subtle energy sensations.

Engage Your Mind

Revisit the process, adjusting speeds, pressures, and even tracing different shapes. The aim is to heighten your awareness and sensitivity to subtle energy sensations.

Experiment and Repeat

When ready, conclude the session by taking a few deep breaths, wiggling your fingers and toes, and slowly opening your eyes. Feel the tranquility and calmness this sensory journey brings.

7-Step Journey to Mindfulness: Mastering the Hand-Circling Sensory Guide

Embrace the present moment, for within it lies the power of mindfulness, the wisdom of self-reflection, and the opportunity to align our actions with integrity.

Embrace Life

Amidst the winds of change, let us cultivate the virtue of patience, for it is through patience that we find resilience and maintain inner tranquility."

Cultivate Patience 

"Meditations" underscores the importance of regular self-reflection as a means of self-improvement. Aurelius encourages individuals to set aside time for introspection, contemplation, and the examination of their thoughts and actions.

The Practice of Self-Reflection

Aurelius reflects on the transient nature of life and the inevitability of death. He suggests that contemplating our mortality can bring clarity and a sense of urgency to our actions, helping us prioritize what truly matters.

The Contemplation of Death

Aurelius emphasizes the practice of mindfulness, the ability to be fully present in the current moment. By cultivating mindfulness, individuals can better understand their thoughts, emotions, and reactions, and make conscious choices aligned with their values.

The Power of Mindfulness

The virtue of patience and the ability to endure challenges with composure and perseverance. Patience allows us to navigate difficulties with grace and maintain inner tranquility.

The Virtue of Patience

Aurelius highlights the significance of living in alignment with one's principles and values. He encourages individuals to act with integrity, honesty, and moral courage, even in the face of adversity or temptation.

The Importance of Integrity

Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them." From expressing his gratitude to the ones from whom he had learned important qualities and lessons in life to detailing his thoughts and reflections over a wide range of subjects including our mind and thoughts, life and death, goodness, self-judgement, virtuousness, nature, leadership, and human rationality, Meditations gives an insight into the inner life and philosophy of the last of the ' Five Good Emperors, ' Marcus Aurelius. With ancient wisdom that is as relevant in modern times as it was then, Aurelius' Meditations is one of the greatest works of Greek and philosophical literature. A series of twelve books, it has continued to influence its readers throughout the centuries.

Habits

Meditations (Medieval Greek: Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν, romanized: Ta eis he'auton, lit. 'things to one's self') is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy. Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes tell us that the first book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova (modern-day Hron) and the second book was written at Carnuntum.

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was Roman emperor from 161 to 180 AD and a Stoic philosopher. He was the last of the rulers known, noncontemporaneously, as the Five Good Emperors and the last emperor of the Pax Romana, an age of relative peace, calmness and stability for the Roman Empire lasting from 27 BC to 180 AD.

Life's greatest tragedy lies in a stagnant existence, where boredom breeds evil.

Life's Tragedy

Many philosophers and thinkers have long warned about the dangers of idleness and the untapped potential of the human mind.They have emphasized the significance of learning and the profound capacity we possess to shape our own destinies.

It Has Been Said Before

By embracing the power of learning and self-awareness, we can avoid the bleak fate of a passive life.Our minds hold immense potential waiting to be unlocked, and it is up to us to harness it and create a meaningful existence.

Do It Yourself 

<ol><li>Break free from the shackles of mere consumption and strive to become architects of your own lives.</li><li>Embrace the gift of learning, nourish your mind with knowledge, and mold your experiences into a unique expression of your true self. </li><li>Dare to move beyond the confines of societal expectations and chart a path that aligns with your own desires and aspirations.</li></ol>

Build Your Life On Your Own

"Man is condemned to be free because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. "

Sartre, an existentialist philosopher, ignited the need for us to find our own meaning and purpose in life. By delving into the essence of his philosophy, we can uncover answers to our burning questions about the human condition.

Sartre's Philosophy 

Recognize that as humans, we are not mere animals or machines. We possess the remarkable gift of learning, which enables us to grow from experiences, history, and knowledge. Embracing this gift is vital to avoid becoming a mere product of consumption, living a life devoid of purpose and significance.

Utilize What We Have

<ol><li>Cherish the immense capacity of your mind to absorb knowledge and continuously expand your horizons. </li><li>Reject a life of passive consumption and instead strive to create, to inspire, and to leave a meaningful legacy. </li><li>Embrace the words of wisdom from great minds, but also remember to critically consume and mold ideas according to your unique needs and values.</li></ol>

What We Can Do

By understanding the dangers of mindless consumption and the potential for self-directed growth, we can break free from the constraints that hold us back.Choose a path of purposeful consumption, seeking wisdom and inspiration from the world around us while actively shaping our own destiny.

We Can Choose Our own Path

Winners don't do different things did do things differently

Never leave it tomorrow, which you can do today

If you think education is expensive, try ignorance

Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn to do things the right way

Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

You maybe disappoint if you fail, but you will be doomed if you don't try.

Super achievers don't waste time in unprotective thoughts, esoteric thoughts or catastrophic thoughts. They think constructively and they know that they are level of thinking determine their success

If you really want to succeed, from the habit of doing things that failures don't like to do

Success is the progressive realisation of a worthy goal

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody

Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not think to be waited fo,r it is a thing to be achieved.

Luck? I don't know anything about luck. I have never Banked on it, and I am afraid of the people who do. Luck to me is something else ; hard work -- and realising what is opportunity and what isn't.

Far and away the best place that life offers is the chance to work hard at something worth doing.

Try not to become a success, but rather try to become an man of value.

If you work for a man, for heaven's sake work for him.

If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep even as MichaelAngelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great Street sweeper who did his job well.

The only limit to our realisation of tomorrow will be our doubt of today.

Life is like a 10 speed bicycle. most of us have gears we never use.

Man is the hero not because he is a braver then anyone else, but because he is Brave for 10 minutes longer

You have a choice in life: you can either pay the price of discipline or regret.

"Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it"10. "Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another"

You Don't Need Permission To Lead (2)

Let solo command and control be gone! The new evolved way is to have everyone at all levels exercises leadership.In the book "We the Leader" by Jeffrey Spahn It is possible to lead and follow at the same time; you don't even have to wait to take turns! These results in teamwork to team flow and creates an insync execution.You don' t need a reason to be met as equal partners.The broad framework will be : How can we help each other? I reckon it's very similar to how we come together to play. And so, let's play better.

The Evolution Of Leadership 

Leadership is something that can (highly recommended) be learned by everyone.Because leadership is NOT ABOUT leading a full team or having the burden of the world on your shoulders. It's NOT ABOUT being at the front.*It can come from the bottom or the middle.-Simply by just reconnecting or providing support. I used to shy away because no one explained.But it is as simple as this: (Let's call it)-The New Leadership.It is to be able to embrace your ability to lead. NO ONE ELSE. JUST YOURSELF.Change comes from you.

It Is A Skill

Ultimately change will spread from the top down.This is also about growth.GROWTH is not forcing. It is ALLOWING.You allow it to grow inside YOU organically.☝️But first, you got to have an open attitude. To allow YOUR open mind to grow.Naturally You Will Lead.YOURSELF.It's normal.You'll feel like a lot of what you have understood no longer makes sense.Seek the understanding that helps in your alignment.However, it is contrarily okay to live without clear answers.Because when previous understandings fall apart, they are not always immediately replaced by better understanding.

Grow Into It

The level of your maturity is knowing what you want and going out to achieving it.At the same time You respect other people's definition of success even though it's hugely different from yours. Having an open mind to understand & listen because the world doesn't just revolve around yours. Thribe is a space for diverse leadership. First we lead ourselves. You'll discover that by not undermining other people's potential, strengths can truly be multiplied

Are You Mature Enough?

You lead the choices you want to make. It's your life. The effective necessities for converting your talent into results. You don't have to wait for it. Take action to achieve it. John c Maxwell 13 key choices that can be made to maximize your talent.1) Belief lifts2) Passion energizes3) Initiative activates4) Focus directs5) Preparation positions6) Practice shoppers7) Perseverance sustains8) Courage tests9) Teachability expands10) Character protects11) Relationships influence12) Responsibility strengthens13) Teamwork multiply

Choices Make The Talent 

I started off wanting to lead myself into the life I want. Bluntly, if you don't take charge, no one else cares. So why leave your fate to other people? As I get the hang of things, I realised this is the only way to kickstart that flame which will lead to a forest fire. 🌟The only thing we can control and focus on is ourselves. And I realised that I have been doing this with my clients alot and that's where the outcome was: STRONGERAre we perfect? No. We're constantly works in progress. The only thing is the attitude and the willingness to do it.

What started off as a personal growth journey became my purpose. I want to generate wealth not only for myself but to the people I work with. To distribute it in a way where the world we live in, (despite chaos ) is a better place. The space we own and created for ourselves. This is where we thrive in THE THRIBE.Where we actually can come up with the resources that let us do it. So what I'm doing is to rise people's standard of living by showing them how to create wealth and keep it. That's my Big Picture 🖼️

THRIBE is now incorporated. I started the community 3 yrs ago and didn't intentionally think to make it into a culture or business. All I knew then was to start creating the changes I wanted to see in my work, my life with the people around who can also resonate; along with me. As I go deeper and deeper by getting myself involved in the work. I realised there are alot of things we have choices for. First things first is to start with ourself. Learn to lead yourself first. Otherwise you'll just be putting everyone in circles and no one comes out any wiser. You are the leader and creator.

Your personal experiences with money make up maybe 0.00000001% of what's happened in the world, but maybe 80% of how you think the world works

No One's Crazy

King Alyattes of Lydia, now part of Turkey, is thought to have created the first official currency in 600 BC. But the modern foundation of money decisions-saving and investing is based around concepts that are practically infants.

Where It Began

People do some crazy things with money. But no one is crazy. People from different generations, raised by different parents who earned different incomes and held different values, in different parts of the world, born into different economies, experiencing different job markets with different incentives and different degrees of luck, learn very different lessons. Everyone has their own unique experience with how the world works.

Crazy Or Different 

"Our findings suggest that individual investors' willingness to bear risk depends on personal history." Not intelligence, or education, or sophistication. Just the dumb luck of when and where you were born.”

Place Time People 

"What you're doing seems crazy but I kind of understand why you're doing it."-uncovers the root of many of our financial decisions.

Being Understand

Few people make financial decisions purely with a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a company meeting. Places where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together into a narrative that works for you

How Decisions Are Made

Dogs were domesticated 10,000 years ago and still retain some behaviors of their wild ancestors. Yet here we are, with between 20 and 50 years of experience in the modern financial system, hoping to be perfectly acclimated.

Expectations Vs Reality 

We all do crazy stuff with money, because we're all relatively new to this game and what looks crazy to you might make sense to me. But no one is crazy we all make decisions based on or own unique experiences that seem to make sense to us in a give moment.

It's Just Who We Are

Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money—investing, personal finance, and business decisions—is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.

Understand yourself and those around you.

The best friendships are when each show up with a glass full of water and you are pouring your water in each other glass.

The Best Friendships

”Why do I like my friends?”“How could I feel deep trust and feel safe?”Beyond the obvious, sharing values, having fun together etc. What is THE criteria for you to select a friendship?For Christina that is “Energy” and she asks herself whether she feels reenergised and refuelled?For Will that is “Growing Ambition”, whether that is professional, of service or personal.What is yours?

Ask Yourself

Simon Sinek’s favourite “love” definition is :“Love is giving the power to someone to destroy you and knowing they won’t use it.

Love Definition

Life is full of many “highs” as we pursue dopamine and adrenaline in all their forms. However don’t mistake “normal” moments as “lows”!Restore the appreciation of small things and pursue oxytocin and serotonin, the “love” chemicals, that they take longer to pursue as they build over time.

Reduce Trivialization

Make LIFE happen : every occasion is an opportunity to make a moment special!Draw a line of what you are willing to give to yourself and a second one of you are willing to give to others.Move that second line forward and give more to others. It will give people a little bit more permission to give more back or maybe challenges in them that they can give and generate altruism.

Generate Altrusim

A dangerous thing in life is say “Yes” to too many people.The best way to continue serve others may be to pause and say “Yes” to yourself more.Instead of saying YES to the dress, say YES to the less.

Saying YES Too Much

Make friend with people that help you pursue.

Final Takeaway 

I am finding that “Optimism” is fuelling my life. Simon Sinek is among the first optimists I bumped into and  I love taking about his work!

Listen to A Bit of Optimism on Spotify. During these times, we are all having to find new ways to connect.  Join me every week as I talk with people that inspire me, about love, life, leadership, and silver linings. The hope is that we all leave with something I think we need these days… A Bit of Optimism.
