Ryan is an Unbeatable Mind Coach, a Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher, and the author of Choice Point: Break the Cycle of Self-Sabotage, Accelerate Your Growth, and Realize Your True Potential.

Quotes to remember:

“The more we surrendered and let go of these pieces of the puzzle, the more space we had for each other.”

“I know that so much of the things that run my life are not the truth of me.”

“My goal is to not color the present moment with the past.”

“We can legitimately recreate ourselves to have whatever experience we want to have.”

Takeaways:

If you’re telling yourself “I can do it for one more year/day/season”, it’s time to stop
When we can meet our own mental and emotional needs and reparent ourselves, we grow and love others better
Transformation begins with awareness
The mind will lead us to believe we are at a false summit and that we can stop doing the work; this is the time to continue the climb and integrate doing into being
No matter what we’re taking on in life, we need to make room for it
Learn from it; grow from it; release it
Your morning and evening routines feed one another
Your morning minimum can be a single intentional breath
The most important moment of transformation into the person you’re becoming is the moment just before you fall asleep
You are not your thoughts or your body; you are the one watching your thoughts and experiencing your body
When we create a space between a happening and our reaction, we get to choose how to respond and who we are
