Summary
Cory Allen is an audio engineer, meditation coach and author.
Mindfulness meditation is great. But it is supposed to be in service of a mindful life, rather than simply a way to spend 15 minutes of your day. I wanted to ask Cory about how he advises people to take their practise off the meditation cushion and into their daily life.
Expect to learn how to use touch to bring yourself back to the present moment, Cory's favourite cues for reinforcing daily mindfulness, why the clothes you're wearing offer endlessly interesting sensations to meditate on, how to recognise when you've become lost in thought, how to reframe unwanted emotions and much more...

| 0:00.0 | Hi friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Corey Allen. He's an audio engineer, |
| 0:05.2 | meditation coach and an author. Mindfulness meditation is great, but it's supposed to be in |
| 0:11.9 | service of a mindful life rather than simply being away to spend 15 minutes of your day. |
| 0:16.4 | I wanted to ask Corey about how he advises people to take their practice off the meditation |
| 0:21.8 | cushion and into their daily life. I expect to learn how to use touch to bring |
| 0:26.3 | yourself back to the present moment. Corey's favourite cues for reinforcing daily mindfulness, |
| 0:31.2 | why the clothes that you're wearing offer endlessly interesting sensations to meditate on, |
| 0:36.0 | how to recognise when you've become lost in thought, how to reframe unwanted emotions, |
| 0:40.8 | and much more. Some very exciting news is that the modern wisdom annual review template is now |
| 0:47.6 | live and it's free and you can go and get it. ChrisWillX.com slash review, that's ChrisWillX.com slash review. |
| 0:56.2 | If you've been thinking that you want to do an end of your recap to learn the lessons that you |
| 1:00.8 | taken away from 2021 and to put a plan in place for how you can structure 2022, this is the exact |
| 1:07.4 | process that I use. It's taken the best of every person, people like Chris Sparks, James Clear, |
| 1:13.5 | David Perrell, I've stolen tons of bits from all of their workflows and just put them |
| 1:17.5 | into what I do. So this isn't an original piece of work but it's some sort of love child of |
| 1:22.4 | all of the best productivity guys that I follow, all put into one place, you can copy it into your |
| 1:27.8 | notes direct from the PDF and then just fill it in. It'll take probably two sessions of three hours. |
| 1:33.6 | I think it's about six hours in total but it made such a huge difference to my 2021. Doing it |
| 1:40.5 | at the end of last year, it was one of the most important parts to any success that I've seen over |
| 1:46.8 | the last year. So go and do it. It'll make a huge difference. You've got time in between Christmas |
| 1:50.8 | and New Year. You're going to have some time off of work. I highly, highly recommend that you round |
| 1:55.2 | out this year and that you get started with some goals, with some strategy, with some direction |
