I—Accept Impermanence and Imperfection (wabi-sabi). · G—Ground your thoughts in what matters now (embodied mind). · A—Change the Attitude of your body to show up with presence (mind-body integration) · M—Be Mindful in the midst of chaos (cultivate mind-body awareness), · E—Exhale to keep calm and present-focused (breathe your nervous system). ·

focus on the out-breath—brings about autonomic nervous system balance, correcting sympathetic over-activity, and parasympathetic under activity, and their consequences: Including internal tension, anxiety, and a myriad of other psycho-physiological health challenges that result from this imbalance.

'E' for Exhale. Breathing isn’t just something you do to stay alive; equally important, you need to breathe in order to act.

If you can stay present when someone is throwing a punch at your face, or when faced with difficult situations at work — achieving that quality of presence in all aspects of your life becomes so much easier.

Mindfulness gives you the ability to be fully present, which then leads to having a “fluid mind.”

'M' for Mindfulness-in-Action.

Mindfulness is a state of being where you are able to just be present without judging the outcome of your performance.

The way you hold your body—the body attitude you display—will not only change how you feel about yourself, but how others perceive you. Better yet, it tells your mind that you are confident.

'A' for Attitude Embodied. How you show up in the world matters more than you might think. Bottom line: While our minds and bodies are different, they always go together.
