Episode Highlights
What are inner skills?

Tami shares that our outer skills have to do with how we interact with people and take our cues from our culture and environment. She says these skills are affected by how we measure ourselves along the metrics given to us by the world and its influences. 
She explains that our inner skills look at what we deem valuable and how we measure success.  
She emphasizes that inner skills are best realized when we figure out how connected we are to our sense of purpose, the people we work with, and the things we do. 
Tami says we have to use our inner lens to decide our own metric of success that we will look back on at the end of our lives and decide whether or not we achieved what we came to earth to do. She explains that knowing our inner metrics helps to guide us to work towards the things we actually want to achieve and focus on fulfilling them. 

 
How do you know you're disconnected from your inner self? 

Tami explains more often than not people experience a disconnect from their inner self. She explains that it usually results in feelings of depression, unaccomplishment, lack of purpose or reason for being, and not being sure of what to create or how to contribute to others. 
Tami says that a turn of attention can help one to come back from that feeling of disconnectivity. 
She says that we often create a delusion of disconnection in our minds which usually is the thing that triggers but, something as simple as admiring nature can allow us to reconnect. 
Tami explains that simple acts of reconnecting help to develop the inner skill of relaxing. She says relaxing teaches us to feel the connection that tells us what is unique for us to do amidst the challenges we face in life. 

How To Stay Grounded in a Pandemic

Tami explains that feeling connected in your body is the first step to feeling grounded. 

 

She encourages connection exercises within our bodies that help us move away from our internal thoughts and truly experience and live in the moment. 

 
How To Breathe and its Importance  

Tami explains the importance of breathing properly and the ways in which it impacts our lives. 
She also says the more a person can enjoy each breath they take, the healthier their breathing will be because it's no longer a quick action but an experience. 
Tami explains that good breathing is essential to our health; she says it helps us have a clearer mind which benefits decision-making even in challenging experiences. 

Can You Train Inner Skills? How ?

Tami shares that her past experiences along with studies have helped her to train her mind. 
She also explains that by training our minds to be in the present with our bodies, our thinking becomes focused on what is needed in the moment rather than things of the past or the future. 
She says we can all train our minds by intentionally engaging in daily practices to be more present. 
She talks about the ‘feet and seat’ technique and the ways it can help people to come into a feeling of groundedness.
