Episode notes

We have a Special show today with Dr Seth Hickerson is back on MTM -   You might remember Dr Seth Hickerson's first Episode at the beginning of this Season #3 where we talked about “Mental Fitness” if you haven’t listened yet - it’s a great one so check it out - or maybe it's time to re-listen to Dr. Seth’s practical wisdom. This is why we love Seth - he makes mindfulness easily digestible. So in this episode Dr Seth will help you understand the important distinction btw “Reacting vs Responding” to life’s circumstances.  

Here’s a quote “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” - that’s from the great Vickor Frankle  So open your mind and ears and get ready to learn some new mindfulness tools that will help enhance your life.
