The Practicing Mind Podcast: Episode 2

The Concept of Process not Product

The concept of process not product. What does that mean? In episode 2 of The Practicing Mind Podcast, I discuss how when you are “process-oriented” your attention is absorbed in the experience of achieving your goal, and it’s not attached to the moment that the goal is achieved.

I will also be discussing Present Moment Functioning the two reasons why it’s difficult to practice Present Moment Functioning in our current society. Like any skill, if you repeat the correct mechanics, you master it and it becomes more your natural way of approaching any task.

One of the things that present moment function or PMF does for you is it gives you an escape from stress. So if you find yourself feeling stressed out often, be sure to listen to this full episode to learn how to give yourself permission to be right where you are in this moment. It will give you the feeling of being complete, of being productive, and of being in control!

What is a Practicing Mind?

An anxious mind isn’t a practicing mind. I teach professionals and top performers to perform better by loving the process without feeling a constant anxious state.

"Your wisdom makes our path easier"

I feel we are all on a mission to change the world and make it a better place. Your wisdom makes our path easier to walk and our responsibility a bit lighter to bear.                        – Khaled S.

"In a world of charlatans, Tom is the real deal"

His sage advice guided me to recognize when my thoughts were working against me as well as when I was working in unison with my goals. Andrew K.
