**Elisha Goldstein, PhD:** Yeah, yeah, the bike trails... And then you'd be having more experiences; like you said, more adventures, and you can meet them. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Sure. |
**Elisha Goldstein, PhD:** And I think that we're lacking those contexts... And that's why in the Collective, that space, what we're trying to do is create those contexts where people feel safe being vulnerable... And they know the people around them are supporting and encouraging to them, so that it facilitates that c... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Well, you did that already. You shared with us your back-story, and that was to some degree vulnerability... And I can empathize with you easily because I had a similar background... So therefore I can understand you more, because - sure, I can maybe assume a few things, but you were vulnerable enou... |
**Elisha Goldstein, PhD:** Yup. |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** It's interesting, as we talk, because I can't help but think about the sort of -- I'm trying to think of the word... But overlap, dare I say, in sort of talking about mindfulness, and this sense of connection, and how much we have to be open. And that that's the antithesis... Like, when we're ... |
**Elisha Goldstein, PhD:** Yeah. What mindfulness does is it connects the prefrontal region with the limbic system or the amygdala, which is the more emotional region of our brain. The emotional region of our brain is saying "Shut down, shut down, shut down! Danger, danger, danger!" because we're wired this way. And th... |
What mindfulness allows us to do is to notice that reactivity that's happening in our nervous system, soften our bodies and take a deep breath, widen that space between stimulus and response, and say "This is the change I wanna see in myself. I'm going to take this step in this direction, because I've now slowed things... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Pinch and zoom, yeah. |
**Elisha Goldstein, PhD:** I pinch and zoom, I see the emotional center getting all crazy... I worked with some of my clients and I tell them "There's no monsters in the closet." Your monkey brain's telling you there is; there's no monsters in the closet. And I zoom in, and I say "You know what, I'm just gonna take tha... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** \[56:11\] Sure. |
**Elisha Goldstein, PhD:** So we do that, and we do that with ourselves, too. By the way, it starts with us. How many of us are afraid or have that same type of reactivity when we're just feeling an uncomfortable emotion just on our own. Can I pause enough to recognize the grief that might be here, or the love that mig... |
Can I pause enough to feel the love? Can I pause enough to feel the grief? Can I pause to be with this, with myself? And what happens when I do - typically, people start to relax, feel more grounded, feel more present with their life, feel more authentic. If that's the way they're gonna go out, they'd rather go out lik... |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** I just think these are such important conversations to have, because when we don't know that we can make different choices, we're just prone to repeat what we've always done, and then don't get where we wanna go. And I think that we all really are designed uniquely for the time in which we're ... |
**Elisha Goldstein, PhD:** I love that. You should transcribe that, that was really well said. |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** Thank you. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Well, the good thing, Elisha, is that we have a transcriber for our podcast, so it will be transcribed. |
**Elisha Goldstein, PhD:** Grab that paragraph. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** That's right. I so agree with that, because if I don't show up to allow Mireille to do her best - or vice-versa, if I can't invest in me to invest in the "we", then it's a disservice to what we're trying to do. And it seems easy to just slow down, but I think it is just that easy. Just slow down and... |
Back to your father being a rabbi in the bedside at the end of life - I hate to be that morbid, but it truly is that. What do I wanna see having done in my life when I'm in that moment in my life? Do I wanna work 12 more hours? Achieve one more business goal? Sure, those are great things to do. Maybe drawing to communi... |
**Elisha Goldstein, PhD:** Yeah, yeah. |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** It's interesting... And another reason why I love doing this work and having conversations with individuals like you, Dr. Elisha, is because even amidst our conversation, I have been aware of my breath, and breathing, and when I am tensing and relaxing... So I would love for you to sort of wra... |
**Elisha Goldstein, PhD:** \[01:00:07.09\] Yeah, I'm more than happy to. What strikes me as I'm about to share that is this importance that we all have somewhere deep inside of us of contribution and legacy, and kind of considering that when we're considering this present moment of our life. One of the chapters I have ... |
So yeah, you can go to ElishaGoldstein.com. That has some different resources on it. Also, TheMindfulLivingCollective.com is that shared learning space where thousands of people are in there, sharing learning... And there's so many resources in there as far as meditation; a whole topic filled with meditations, and peop... |
The final one, that I think is really great, is this document I created called Five Keys To Happiness. That's just ElishaGoldstein.com/5keys. That's just a free resource for you to take and just start implementing those five keys into your life... Again, procedural memory, practice and repetition, rinse and repeat, and... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Well, we'll definitely link those up in the show notes for our audience... Because hey, it's easier to click than it is to type, especially -- you might be driving when you're listening to this, so... Listeners, you know we've got the resources in the show notes, and we'll link those up for sure. |
Anything else to cover, anything else to say, Dr. Elisha? |
**Elisha Goldstein, PhD:** I'm just grateful for you guys for putting on this. I think it was a really meaningful conversation. I hope everyone got something from it. We know that when we're listening to things we can only really take away one to three nuggets from things to implement it, so don't try and grab the whol... |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** Pinch and expand. |
**Elisha Goldstein, PhD:** Pinch and expand. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** There you go. |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** Awesome. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Very cool. |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** Thank you so much! |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Thank you so much for your time. |
**Elisha Goldstein, PhD:** Yeah, thank you both. |
