Meditation + Talk: 5 Ways to Stop Spinning Your Wheels and Get What You Really Want
October 28, 2024

Ever felt like you’re putting a lot of energy into the wrong areas of life, or trapped by habits and reactions that don’t serve you? If you’re exhausting effort without real progress, then this talk and meditation with Dr. Diana Hill are worth watching.

Diana takes a look at how our natural human yearnings—for connection, purpose, understanding, and growth—sometimes drive us toward “windows” that seem like the way out, but only leave us hitting the glass, over and over. She shows you how to gently turn your energy in new directions, tapping into your unique strengths, or what she calls your “inner genius.”

Diana explores practical ways to realign your actions with what really matters to you, so your efforts bring you a sense of vitality and meaning, rather than more struggle. Through these reflections, you’ll learn strategies to embrace wise effort, let go of unhelpful stories, and work with challenging emotions that show up when we try to change.

Shift from survival mode into a place where your actions, feelings, and choices come together in a way that feels purposeful and alive.

I hope you find both the talk and meditation helpful.
