Morning Meditation from The GratiDude
I can’t remember moments in first grade when I started to see the rules coming down around expectations and behavior. And my first-grade teacher was totally cool, I have really fond memories of Ms. Burke at Eberwhite Elementary in Ann Arbor. I can picture what her face looked like, her shorter light hair, and I think she was great as far as I recall.
But she was just the messenger.
The extended periods are sitting, still combined with the limited displays of all and out joy and affection amongst classmates due to the seating structure and different type of curriculum. It was a bit of an adjustment for me from kindergarten with Mrs. Galbraith that felt more like family and friends every day.
This was clearly going to be different.
And it’s been a long journey, unwinding some of the things that gave me the impression or the message that I shouldn’t fully listen to my heart and my higher self and pursue a way of life and day-to-day activities schedule that matches up with my ethos of agape, or unconditional love. The emphasis on practicality and expectations made me feel like I needed to stifle the full expression of everything I felt in my heart and what I wish to manifest in the world around me as a result.
At the end of the day like the message in this video, I just want to be known as someone that was kind and did his best to help others. That is it.
Invest your love into others and watch it bloom. My man bought clothes and got a job!
Obviously, I want to be remembered as a great parent for my kids, but more than anything I want my legacy to be one of kindness.
I love choosing a legacy for us that is within our own control. If we choose to pursue a path that keeps us grounded in love and compassion. Furthermore, a legacy around how you remembered that is related to your own behavior and choices empowers you versus choosing a Legacy goal that is outside of you and reliant on many different variables and factors. If you wish your legacy to be one of material and financial and things in the ego world, there are many things that could prevent you from delivering on that wish or that dream. Financial systems have collapses and corrections. Investments and business deals are comprised of human beings and behaviors can become erratic and anything can happen. I’ve seen about everything.
However, I am putting the work in every single day to be healthy and happy and to do the things I need to do so I can maximize my talents, that’s up to me and MY choice. When I choose to share the talents that I’ve been given from creation, that too, is my choice and in my control.
If a hundred years from now NOBODY remembered my Name, but someone still felt the effects of my love, that would be EVERYTHING.
And this brings up the opportunity to discuss that it isn’t necessarily your career path or the individual activity you do every day, but instead to recognize the opportunity that you have through all of your interactions, conversations and transactions to be a positive force relative to the energy and the style of communication that is happening often times in modern.
Don’t be afraid to make it personal and to ask people their name, even if it’s during a brief encounter to use people’s name. Everyone loves that, even Kevin loves that.
The Science of Compliments
Compliments can have a number of positive effects on the brain, including:
Reward processing
When someone receives a compliment, the brain’s reward-related areas activate, similar to when someone receives a monetary reward. This includes the nucleus accumbens (NAc), orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC). Neuroimaging studies have found that sincere praise activates these areas more than flattery.
Empathy
When people share compliments, their brains activate areas involved in empathy and reward processing. For example, when selecting a message for a romantic partner, the ventral striatum, which includes parts of the putamen, is activated.
Skills consolidation
Some studies suggest that the brain activity caused by compliments is linked to higher levels of skills consolidation, which is a type of learning that happens during sleep.
Mood
Giving a compliment can improve the giver’s mood by helping them practice gratitude and strengthen relationships.
Compliments can also have other effects, such as:
Body-focused compliments
Neuroscience research suggests that the brain processes compliments that refer to the body more quickly and accurately than compliments that are less related to the body. For example, one study found that Israeli university students who received appearance-based compliments did worse on math tests.
Genuine compliments
Genuine compliments require people to notice the good things that others do, which can help shift their mindset.
If you wanna try something fun just do the compliment walk. Literally complement everybody for something when you walk by, and it could be anything. it will feel silly because you know you’re just picking something and you might not even really like that person’s shoes for example, but who really cares?
Here is how you do it:
“Hey, my Granola crunching Hermano, I just wanted you to know that I LOVE those “Jesus Walker” sandals with the white high tube sox! You have a comfortable look my brother”.
See that?
Easy.
Now you try it today and share the neuroscience uplift of compliments and of course your attitude of gratitude.
EVERY DAY:
Love
and
Gratitude
