About this episode
This week’s episode is about stabilizing your heart and clearing your mind so you can show up more effectively in a world that’s constantly throwing stress your way. This is a solo episode—and these are my favorite to share, because they come straight from what I’m practicing in real time. I share 5 simple but powerful practices inspired by my recent time at Deer Park Monastery.In This Episode, We Explore:Practice #1. StopPractice #2. Put Down What You Are CarryingPractice #3. Sit at the Back of the HeartPractice #4. Tune Your Mind to ImpermanencePractice #5. Prioritize LoveThese are practices I’m returning to again and again. I hope they offer you some steady ground, too.Suggested Next Episode:Episode 78: Slow Down, Resist Busyness, and Other Lessons from My Family Retreat at Plum Village with Dr. Diana HillRelated ResourcesGet enhanced show notes for this episodeOrder my book, Wise Effort: How to Focus Your Genius Energy on What Matters Most, and receive special bonus gifts.Want to become more psychologically flexible?
