The Fundamentals to gain Inner Peace, Wednesday nights Zoom Class with Coach Menachem Bernfeld, Class # 33 Start your journey of Self Growth with Coach Menachem's Course: Self-Awareness for Beginners: https://coach-menachem.teachable.com/p/self-awareness-for-beginners welcome everyone, welcome to another class we're up to class number 33, so last week we discussed the framework of stop breathe and observe which we've discussed to find time in your day which you can stop i know it's not easy for everyone because we are very very busy there's a lot going on especially in today's world with technology things are happening fast and most of us have just have no time no time but it's important and we're learning why it's so important to be able to stop finds for beginners just three minutes to stop in a quiet place where you can close your phone nothing and just to become aware and like we mentioned the only way we can do it is if you learn how to breathe because things come up when we stop thoughts come up feelings come up and not always so pleasant not always things that we want to face not not always things that we want to see so we're learning how to just sit there even though it's something that's uncomfortable and you just keep on breathing and eventually to observe just back up stay out of the way there's a lot going on in your mind sit on the side and look what's going on become aware of those thoughts of those feelings and what comes up and to write it down is a good idea just to make it a little bit easier for many so that's the stop breathe observe framework which is the beginning of any self growth that we're looking for if we want any change in any area in our life the first thing we have to become aware of what's going on where am i what am i running away from so it could be hard once we get used to doing it stopping for three minutes you can up the game and try it for seven minutes i don't think it's going to get easier but you learn you learn you understand you become aware of the things that come up and you don't get so scared eventually you can do it for 10 minutes 15 minutes sounds amazing wow if you can find 15 minutes in a day where you can shut down everything and just sit with yourself breathe and observe is really amazing eventually once you become aware of what's going on you'll be able to do it in middle of the day in the middle of your busy day and it's all in your mind like when you feel a little bit lost or you feel overwhelmed you're in middle of a meeting or at work or at home whatever it is you can always tell yourself in your mind stop you know where am i you become aware you take a deep breath and you just observe even though you're continuing to do what you have to do with the kids cooking or at work in the meeting but once if you don't feel grounded you feel a little bit overwhelmed you can always do this method to stop breathe and observe you can do it in your mind no one has to know about it and you can do it in a split second but it doesn't start there you have to do the work and stop during the day to really become aware of what's going on of those thoughts of those feelings and ultimately not to be reactive because if we're not aware what happens is we we're doing good things all day hopefully but we're reacting for all the things that are coming up in front of us so we're not really making any conscious decisions it's just you know i got emails i have to reply and the co-worker comes over so i take care of that but wait a second what was your plan what were you gonna do today so for that you have to sit down before you start and say where am i what do i have to do write it down and you make a decision when am i going to do it how am i going to do it so when things come up you're in control so that's what we learned last week now the question is which many ask and i think most people understand but like we mentioned there is no time do i really need to slow down to stop and slow down why no why shouldn't i just keep on being busy doing i'm doing the right thing i know what i'm doing and uh day in day out week and week outs just keep on doing the right thing so doesn't that sound amazing why would you tell me to stop and slow down so today i want to discuss just briefly the brain waves the brainwave states that we discussed in the beginning of these classes on wednesday night and you can always find the recordings monaconburnfield.com at the top left we discussed it a little bit and we'll discuss it tonight so basically there are four or five brainwave states so it's beta alpha theta and delta beta is where we are alert aware and if if anybody if you've had any uh it's called the eeg they can actually monitor the brain waves and they can see a change while people slow down and do meditation see how it calm.
