In this enlightening episode of the Mindfulness Exercises Podcast, host Sean Fargo invites listeners to explore and shift the mental models that shape how we see ourselves and the world.
We all carry inner narratives—beliefs, assumptions, and patterns of self-talk—that can either support our well-being or keep us stuck in stress, scarcity, and self-criticism. Through gentle mindfulness and practical guidance, Sean helps listeners recognize these unhelpful patterns and transform them.
This episode combines reflective discussion with a guided meditation, where Sean walks you through a three-part practice inspired by Tony Robbins. By tuning into your body, focus, and language, you can reset your state, cultivate clarity, and meet challenges with greater presence and compassion.
Whether you’re new to mindfulness or looking to deepen your practice, this episode offers actionable tools to reframe challenges, soften self-talk, and empower your daily life.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Show Notes:
Recognizing Mental Models
Sean explains how mental models—our ingrained assumptions and narratives—shape our perceptions, emotions, and behavior. By bringing these patterns into awareness, we can choose which beliefs serve us and which limit us.
Body Awareness Practice
The first part of the guided meditation invites listeners to connect with the body, release tension, and reset their state physically. This grounding step prepares the mind for a shift in focus and perception.
Shifting Focus
Next, Sean guides you to redirect attention toward what’s working, cultivating gratitude and clarity. This practice helps interrupt negative loops and encourages a more balanced, solution-oriented mindset.
Language and Self-Talk
Finally, listeners learn to soften inner dialogue and select empowering language. By consciously choosing words that uplift rather than criticize, we reinforce new mental models and support sustainable change.
Anchoring Change
The episode concludes with a visualization exercise to integrate the new state into daily life, ensuring the mental, physical, and emotional shifts are embodied and actionable.
