"TAME THE MIND / TRAIN THE MIND"

Armor Down created this motto to stand in contrast to combat-training slogans. By means of mindfulness techniques, Armor Down aims to tame the hypervigilant mind and retrain it to process events and sensations in a much calmer, more even-tempered way.

This week's Warrior is Army veteran Ben King. Ben is the founder of Armor Down and Mindful Memorial Day.

Ben speaks with Tim regarding a handful of topics:

How a Warrior brings light into the darkness
The power of mindfulness
Stoicism
Practicing in traffic
Challenges Ben faces
Ben's daily inspiration
