A failure? A weakness? Let\u2019s challenge that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELAXATION is a natural state of peacefulness and unwinding.<\/strong> When you relax you shift from pushing out energy to taking it in. Relaxation is your gateway to restoration, regeneration, and healing in all domains (mind, body, spirit).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sleep is one human strategy to restore, heal, and regenerate.<\/strong> But if the only time you rest is when you are unconscious, you never develop the capacity or skill to respond to crisis or pressure.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #531083\">Enter Mindfulness.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>MINDFULNESS is the art of Attention and Awareness to what you are doing and how you are being in any moment.<\/strong> The goal of mindfulness is to improve your experiential knowledge of your self and your life for the sake of being able to CHOOSE. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The more you are aware of your <strong>thinking<\/strong>, the more capacity you hold to choose a different story or change how you look at a situation.<\/li>\n<li>The more you are aware of your <strong>emotion(s)<\/strong> the more options you have to choose one that better serves you (e.g. perseverance instead of anger), or to nurture one that might otherwise miss (like happiness or contentment).<\/li>\n<li>The more awareness you have of\/in your <strong>body<\/strong>, the greater your capacity for noticing when you need to move (or stop moving), eat (or stop eating, or eat differently), or sleep (because you are tired!).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you become more mindful, in other words, you become better at noticing when you need to relax because your system needs regenerative time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jon Kabat-Zin defines mindfulness as<\/strong> <em>\u201cthe awareness that arises from paying attention, on purpose, in the moment, and non-judgmentally.\u201d<\/em> You can be mindful about anything. For example, you can breathe on purpose. You can eat with mindfulness. You can be mindful about walking down the hallway, brushing your teeth, reading a bedtime story to your kids, or sitting with your pet after a long day at work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By the way, Mindfulness is not the same as meditation.<\/strong> Meditation is a powerful tool to help you train your mindfulness \u201cmuscles\u201d but it is hardly the only tool.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Because mindfulness is a human skill, you don\u2019t need any training \u2013 just intention!<\/strong> CHOOSE to do something on purpose and be present to the fact that you\u2019re doing it.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #531083\">Back To Beer<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>By now you may be thinking, \u201cyes, Jim, this is all very nice, but WHAT ABOUT THE BEER?\u201d<\/strong> I learned long ago that any activity could be a mindful one. Breathing with mindfulness was an early practice, of course, and beer played an important role in my development.<\/p>\n<p>Back in my corporate days I was on the executive team for a large restaurant company, just as the craft beer movement crossed over from homebrewing hobbyist appeal into the mainstream, and beer tastings became a \u201cthing.\u201d My whole experience of beer to that point was essentially Coors and Budweiser and the \u201clight\u201d versions of lager beers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And I hated beer.<\/strong> Prior to my first formal tasting of Belgian ales, my only distinctions around beer were: Awful, Tolerable, or Where-can-I-dump-this?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The cicerone (beer sommelier) who led that first session taught us a mindfulness exercise (though he certainly did not use that term!) for experiencing the beer.<\/strong> One approaches fine beers as one does fine wines; first, sense it through the eyes. Then engage the sense of smell, then feel it on the tongue, taste it, experience it as it enters the mouth and belly, then create a story about it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Over the years (and thousands of craft beers later) I now have access to a far broader set of distinctions,<\/strong> e.g. hoppy, boozy, light\/heavy, sour, grapefruity, smooth, coffee, chocolate, coconut, sweet, strong, bitter, floral, or smoky, just to name a few of my favorites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And every time I experience a beer this way, I am practicing the art of attention and awareness, aka being Mindful.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>You can substitute any activity for beer tasting, of course.<\/strong> You can do the same with chocolate, marinara sauce, or daal, with reading a book, getting dressed for work, engaging in conversation, or even shopping or completing a spreadsheet.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>And again, every time you practice mindfulness you strengthen your awareness of self and expand your capacity to notice where you are in any moment.<\/strong><\/em> From there you can CHOOSE \u2013 to move forward or step back; to remain in tension or to relax and regenerate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When unaware you remain stuck where you are. Practice being mindful and you expand your options.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Relaxation, Mindfulness, and Meditation Many of us suffer from FOMS (Fear Of Missing Something) so we approach life as series of manic, highly active episodes thinly sandwiched between inadequate layers of sleep.
