Welcome to Mindfulness Essentials!
OPEN, PRODUCTIVE DISCUSSIONS WELCOME!
These mindful materials are created for students at Schilz Martial Arts—and for anyone seeking balance, focus, and clarity. After every kickboxing class, we take a moment to shift from physical training to mental centering. These reflections are designed to help calm the mind, release stress, and strengthen your inner agility—the same way training strengthens your body.

Each lesson—whether you read it, watch it, or listen to it—isn’t meant to give you answers, but to invite reflection. The thoughts shared here come from personal experience, study, and perspective. You’re not meant to think or act like me; instead, you’re encouraged to pause, consider, and connect with what truly matters to you.
​
If a lesson speaks to you, take it with you. If it doesn’t, let it pass. Either way, your presence and reflection are appreciated.
Audio versions of certain lessons are marked with the  icon, and more past lessons are being converted over time—so check back for updates. If there’s a particular lesson you’d like to hear read aloud, or a topic you’d like explored, please share your thoughts in the Comments section.

Gratitude

Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you”, it’s a shift in perspective that turns what we have into enough, and sometimes even into abundance.  But gratitude doesn’t always come naturally — especially when life feels heavy or unfair.  Practicing gratitude is like training a muscle: it grows stronger the more we use it.  Which means you actually have to say ‘thank you’ to people and mean it from the heart.  People have enough empathy in them; they know fake sincerity when it is delivered.  Over the next week, we’ll look at gratitude from different angles, moving from the moments where it’s hardest to feel thankful into the deeper places where gratitude can transform our lives.
 
Goal: Train attention toward the good and productive.
Day 1: Gift of Gratitude – In Small Things.
Day 2: Gift of Gratitude –Even When Things Don’t Go Our Way.
Day 3: Gift of Gratitude – For People In Our Lives.
Day 4: Gift of Gratitude – Present Moment.
Day 5: Gift of Gratitude – Growth Through Struggle.
