KEY TAKEAWAYS
About 10-20 minutes into my swimming training this morning I realised that my head was in the wrong position. There’s an instinctive want to see where you’re going when swimming, but the best way to do it is to look straight down. I realised that I was in the moment, focussing on my head position and I was humbled by that.
I guarantee you that when you’re walking you’re looking forwards and thinking about something that doesn’t affect you at that moment. Next time you’re walking (in an open space, not on a street next to a road), close your eyes and focus on your body; what happens when you put one foot in front of the other, where are you connecting to the ground with your feet? How do your arms move?
With a body scan, start at your toes and check in with them. How do they feel? Wiggle just one toe. What happens when you move all of your toes? Circle your ankles, how do they feel? Move up the body and scan each part of the body, take the time to slowly check in and if you feel there’s a certain part that needs more attention, that’s where you should direct your efforts.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We’re gonna get there sooner or later guys, there’s no need to look’
‘I was training myself to be present, you can do this by meditating or simply walking.’
‘People tell me all the time that they can’t meditate: Get present. Start practicing being present.’
ABOUT THE HOST
Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.
Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.
Why?
Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!
How?
Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.
