We make hundreds of decisions every day and many of those decisions can help us live a more, or less, mindful life. We decide to meditate, decide to do yoga, decide what foods to eat. We decide to exercise and we decide to create, whatever creating means to you. And for all those activities I mentioned, of course we can decide not to do them as well. Certainly eating and exercising are central as to how much mindfulness we are experiencing in life.
My friend, Alex Hofeldt is one of those people who lives mindfulness and also understands a lot of the science behind why mindfulness works for us. Alex is a high school science teacher, with some very fortunate students, because he is incredibly dedicated to the work he does in the world.
I had a conversation with Alex back in 2016, and it was such a great conversation that I’ve decided to replay it today. You can also hear Alex’s interview on Episode 076. I called it, “Let Your Brain Have A Monologue of Love, Compassion and Understanding”.

Food, Sugar, and More ….

In our conversation today, Alex and I talk about food, sugar, exercising and how our decision-making has a direct influence on the level of mindfulness in our lives. We talk about willpower and how to be strong, determined, and resilient.

Enjoy my conversation with Alex.
