 win by more than 10 points), everyone in the locker room was positive. The team conversation strategized what they needed to do now, in that moment. They weren’t distracted by the odds against them, or judgments about the outcome of the first half.
Instead, like you do in yoga each class, the Patriots relied on the game plan that they execute week after week. The repeated plays— like our repeated poses— build confidence and shut out (the rather noisier) doubt. That’s why you hear teachers say, “Just Show Up.” You benefit from a more complete present and open mind, where even the impossible can become possible.
Not too long ago, I was watching Van Jones host “The Messy Truth” with special guest, Whoopi Goldberg. Trump must have been in office for one week, but already the atmosphere turned volatile as Trump talked of building a wall with Mexico. In the program, Van Jones had guests from the audience ask both him and Whoopi questions about the wall and other actions the Trump administration was contemplating on border protection.
This gentleman, Joel Campagnola (see video at 7:58), gets up to share his son’s struggles with opiates. Originally given painkillers to help overcome an injury, he quickly became addicted. Desperate for more, the son became involved with the wrong people and eventually bought what he thought were opiates. Instead, it was something called a “kill bag.” Kill bags are a sick marketing strategy of drug dealers to lure in new customers under the pretense of having “the good stuff” by selling a bag of drugs so strong it will kill them. This cold-hearted tactic left behind this distraught dad. He wonders what’s wrong with a border, if it can help stop drugs from entering our neighborhoods?
I once heard a really great statement, “don’t drive the position, drive the policy.” Tom Brady exemplified this as with his present and open mind, he concentrated solely on driving plays. He let go of any beliefs he held about the game itself, and the same held true with this father. After he shares his story, you can feel the audience shift away from driving home a position. Instead, they become open up to a conversation about a serious policy gap. Whoopi’s response was epic. She apologized for both his loss and for any way her argument may have dismissed what he went through! Therein she, too, became present and open-minded, ready to impose some plays “down the field” that will result in true victory.
Members, I’m on a mission to spread this yoga. Yoga is the only tool I know by far that has the power to teach us to lead ourselves. In so doing, we can lead a nation, and even lead humankind. Members, YOU possess this transformative mental power, just like Tom Brady! It’s there as you practice day after day, and it’s ready to be used the same way my immune system woke up ready to take on the viral struggle in my body. Yoga cultivates within you the skills of returning to a present and open mind.
If you’re getting stoked a little, if the conflict escalates, use it. Instead of just having an argument, show up, be bold, and bring others to the table to rise up and have a true conversation! Like our practice, it can be uncomfortable but do what you know and breathe. Like Whoopi stated to this father, “it’s time for us to be empathetic, to be compassionate and to just start talking.” Live out your yoga beyond the mat – you have the muscle for it!

Hållbarhetshuset (Sustainability House), the first pilot building in the Återhus - att bygga hus av hus (Re-building - constructing buildings from buildings) project, has now been completed in the new Haga Norra urban district in Arenastaden. The building is made of about 70 per cent reused material and is a pioneer of its kind. The lessons learned from the project will enable Fabege to scale up reuse in its project activities and contribute new knowledge to the property sector.
Hållbarhetshuset was built on the initiative of Fabege and the contractor Zengun and is part of the Vinnova-funded research project Återhus - att bygga hus av hus, in which 14 partners are developing methods, processes and tools to enable the reuse of heavy building elements such as steel and concrete frames and facades.
"There's a lot of interest in constructing buildings from buildings, and we look forward to sharing our experiences. There should be no competition on climate issues - instead, everyone should help to drive the industry forward and contribute to achieving the climate goals," says Mia Häggström, Fabege's Head of Sustainability.
Hållbarhetshuset consists of 70 per cent reused materials, which means a carbon footprint reduction of 105 tonnes of CO2 compared to if the building had been constructed using new materials.
"Hållbarhetshuset is a pilot project that is attracting a great deal of interest, as the whole industry wants to reduce the carbon footprint of its projects. We look forward to sharing the lessons we've learned with the industry and continuing to reuse on a large scale in the future," says Emilie Larsson, project manager at Fabege.
