Mindful Sport Performance Podcast
Drs. Keith Kaufman and Tim Pineau (along with Dr. Carol Glass) developed the Mindful Sport Performance Enhancement (MSPE) mental training program and founded the MSPE Institute, which provides training and consultation to promote greater success, satisfaction, and well-being in sport and other realms of performance (e.g., performing arts, business). In this podcast, Keith and Tim discuss various topics related to mental training, mindfulness, peak performance, and optimal experience for a wide range of performers -- from recreational to elite, kids to adults. They offer practical tips and exercises from their own work, and interview other top-level experts to highlight effective approaches to performance enhancement. The Mindful Sport Performance Podcast will give listeners a full catalogue of fresh ideas on how to thrive in competitive environments and embrace a more mindful way of being.

Ep. 51: Thanksgiving Special - Our Reflections on Gratitude
In this Thanksgiving episode, Keith, Tim, and Taylor reflect on their experiences of gratitude.
Tim begins with an authentic gratitude practice, and then we discuss:
7:45 - The misconception that gratitude can only exist in the presence of "relentless" positivity, and how authentic gratitude is not mutually exclusive with more painful emotions.
17:31 - How mindfulness and acceptance can help us rebuild our relationships with the capabilities and limitations of our bodies.
20:11 - Exploring the various barriers to experiencing gratitude, such as comparison, striving, and attachments.
27:31 - Contextualizing our experiences to find gratitude in the most surprising places (such as when cleaning up cat barf).
41:05 - One thing each of us is grateful for as we are approaching the Thanksgiving holiday.
