Mindfulness & Communication - Brendan Sage Ep.0027

Brendan Sage a conscious youth brings his perspective on mindfulness, shields, meditation and communication. He offers simple ways for you to navigate stressful situations from every day life such as work related challenges and navigating traffic. Then he goes in more depth as to how you can adopt a communication framework to be successful in business, projects and relationships.   Brendan works on several projects at once and is aware that he needs to stay focus which is how he reaches his goals. In this show he shares a message that you are IT and are born complete. You can shift the paradigm of self-improvement to adopt a view point of self-help return to your state of perfection.   He discusses the connection between creating your shield, meditation and mindfulness. In its core essence meditation brings you back inwards and frees you of the thoughts that are clouding your mind every day. It is about truly being with yourself and your essence. The shield allows you to protect yourself from emotional dumping from other people that you encounter in your day to day life. A shield is not cutting you off from society. Rather it is being centered.   Technique / Practice for Direct Experience   To create your shield, do a meditation session when you start your day. By including this in your morning routine it will make you more resilient to what shows up during your day. About 20 minutes will bring you in a state of centering without any side effects.   If you are in a high stress moment, such as a person yelling at you. Experience the emotions in that conversation. Don’t worry about what happens in the moment. AFTER the moment, ask yourself, am I truly feeling this emotion? Why am I feeling this emotion? Where do I feel this emotion? How can I prevent this in the future?   Brendan also shares the 4 Point Communication Philosophy for success in business, projects, relationships and life.   Establish authority and credibility: Tell people WHY we should listen to you, why should we trust you with a project and give you our attention. Offering Value: This is giving value while not expecting something in return. You should be clear on your intention. Authenticity is key here. This is about taking action with a serving mindset. Validate yourself with social proof: Find out who is listening to your message? Are people giving you attention and trusting you? In this modern age social media is a big factor that determines the reach and impact you have. Your personal network is the best kind of connection because this is what creates the most trust. Think from the Abundance Mindset: Don’t act out of desperation. This is acting from a place that everything is perfect right now.   Brendon goes in more details about mindfulness using the example of eating. What happens when you eat while distracting yourself with other activities such as watching television? When you are making changes in your life you will face eternal resistance. What does this mean?
