Be who you must be

First Live Stream

Youtube Channel launched - why not Sub?

Hi readers, colleagues and friends

I have a little YouTube channel set up. In its very early stages and looks amateurish right now, But you have to start somewhere right? Would love for you to subscribe. I plan to stream and do videos about volunteer engagement, leadership styles, well-being and mindfulness when I can. Most of these will be unscripted and from the heart rather than the brain. So hit subscribe if you’d like to. If not, that’s ok too. I hope to reach some people interested in my content. If I can help one person then I see that as great!  Thanks DJ Cronin

Mindful experience

Mindfulness is a form of meditative practice that elevates present-moment awareness (Ludwig & Kabat-Zinn, 2008).

Mindfulness, however, is more than meditation. It […] involves consciously attending to one’s moment-to-moment experience.

Shapiro et al., 2006, p. 374

“The mind that opens to a new idea never returns to its original size.” – Albert Einstein

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."  - Buddha

Mindfulness itself derives from sati, which is a significant element of Buddhist traditions. It’s no wonder that many popular mindfulness quotes can be referenced to Buddha. This simple, yet powerful quote, reinforces the importance of being in the present moment. Reflecting on what has been or would be can create an empty existence if we are unable to live in and appreciate the current moment.

Alan Watts For When You're Ready To Understand Life

In realms of thought, where wisdom gently weaves,

A sage emerged, among the autumn leaves.

Alan Watts, the poet of the mind,

His words, like whispers, profound and kind.

In Yin and Yang, the dance of opposites,

He found a truth that eternally persists.

"Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth,

"He'd say, as the cosmic dance beneath.

Eastern whispers met the Western ear,

As Watts proclaimed, "You are something the whole universe is doing."

A symphony of existence, a cosmic cheer,

A reminder that in this dance, there's no undue pursuing.

"The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance,

"His counsel echoed, a chance to enhance.

Yin and Yang, in constant play,

A cosmic rhythm, in night and day.

"Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun,

"Watts' humor danced with the setting sun.

In the cosmic joke, a profound laugh,

A reminder that life's a mysterious craft

So, here's to Watts, the philosopher of yore,

Whose words still ripple, like waves on the shore.

In Yin and Yang, his spirit sways,

A timeless dance, through nights and days.

In Times of Uncertainty, You MUST Follow These Principles

EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS CHANGING. LIVE IN A LESS COMPLICATED AND MEANINGFUL WAY. VOLUNTARY SIMPLICITY. BE GRATEFUL FOR BLESSINGS AND DIFFICULTIES.
