Embrace Presence: Unlocking Potential Through Mindful Living... · Revealing Wholeness with Dr.Troy

  Speaker 1: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy. I don't know if
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: you've seen this particular video online of Arnold Schwarzenegger talking
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: about working out and how he would be working out
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: in being there, and he would see guys working out
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: and they're lifting really heavyweights, and they're looking around and
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: they're just biting their time. They're basically putting in their time.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: It reminds me of somebody who is working at a
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: job that they hate and that they're just waiting to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: retire so they can actually do something that they want
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: to do, or they're waiting for five o'clock or they're
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: waiting for the weekend or whatever it is, and they're
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: just they're there, but they're not there. I think they
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: call that presenteeism. And I found it fascinating that he
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: goes when I'm working out. I am there working out,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and I realized what he was trying to say is
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: that when he's working a bicep or a quad or
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: a tricep or a peck, he is literally present in
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: that muscle, just being right there. And I thought, wow,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: that's brilliant. Of course he goes, I'd watch these guys
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: and they lift all these weights. I lift, but they
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: don't get any bigger, and I do. He goes because
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I'm there. The attention and presence of his full consciousness
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: in that muscle actually gives it love and attention, and
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: it's more than happy to be as big as he
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: wants it to be to almost like a small child,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: want to make a parent proud. I thought, that's beautiful,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: What a beautiful picture. Now. I don't know if he
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: meant that, but that's exactly what was happening. And I thought,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: want that in their job, or it with their spouse
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: or their child. You know what, maybe if we were sick,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Let's say that we had cancer, and now we're just
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: totally lovingly looking upon that body part and totally being
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: present with absolute admiration and love and care and joy.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Could you imagine cancer trying to withstand that. My gosh,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: just kick the cancer now. And so here we have
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: this whole dimension that was given in this one moment.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: When I watched this video, I thought, that's absolutely perfect.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Of course, just be here now. It's a great book
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: title of Ramdas. If you never read it, it's quite
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: fascinating with one person's elevation and the hell they went through.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: But just be here now. Can you fully be present,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: right where you are, with whatever is going in your life,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and just be right here now and not consumed by
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: what the world wants you to think about, not what
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: your brain wants, but just be here now, be with
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: whatever you are doing. Could you imagine the results? What
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: could you not achieve? Everything? And then, of course when
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you get so present, then you realize nothing really here
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: is that big of a deal, which is another thing
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: that we'll talk about, but not for this one. So
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: it's been a pleasure unpacking this with you. Until next time,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I'm doctor Troy. And remember you have nothing to do,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: only something to see. And remember there is way more
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: right with you than there is wrong with you.
