A New World View: From Individualism to Inclusion With Dr. Ray Blanchard

What you believe is what you’ll see…

 

Often, the narrative is that we are being held up by limiting beliefs when it comes to achieving the life we envision. Early experiences in life build those beliefs and thoughts, those beliefs and thoughts affect our feelings; feelings become our actions, and actions form our habits. 

Our habits cement our thoughts. The cycle becomes a pattern. Then, we fall into the egocentric trap that holds us back from achieving our full potential. 

In this episode, our guest, Dr. Ray Blanchard describes the process by which he helps people spiral back into the source of their fundamental worldviews that dominate their life, make distinctions, create new beliefs, shift into an ecocentric worldview, and realize the life they envision in a whole new positive perspective.

1. Practice the ability of mindful noticing without judgment
2. Start to notice your environment, start to notice your own emotions, your own thoughts, your own feelings. Start to notice the interaction between you and other people
3. Then, find yourself addressing all these intervening thoughts, and you might find yourself judging.
4. Dismiss the thoughts. Just relax and let it go. So you end judgment

 

30 Days of Mindful Nature Walks

(45:17 - 45:56)

1. When you’ve started to be mindful and noticing.
2. Take an hour of silent walking in nature.
3. Then get into a few minutes of walking in nature. 
4. And then just be mindful and just notice.
5. Do this for 30 consecutive days in a row at sunrise. 

If you can do it just for a few minutes a day, it would be a profound and life altering experience.

 

Networking

1. Network or work with other people.
2. Share with other people and learn.
3. Let other people share with you.
