Kaira Jewel Lingo talks about cultivating trust and equanimity in the face of uncertainty. We discuss opening to the unknown, taking action as an antidote to anxiety, and having equanimity when things work out and when they don’t.
Today we focus on step four of James Baraz’ 10 steps to awakening joy: how to find joy in difficult times. We discuss how to balance a sense of equanimity with compassion for the suffering of the world, and how cultivating joy at an individual level can support healing at the collective level.
We continue our exploration of the key inner strengths and psychological skills we truly feel like we couldn’t live without. This week we talk about joy, seeing the mind’s deceits, keeping your good humor, the wild spirit, and finding meaning.
We all know that exercise is good for us, but that doesn’t always make it easy to do. Dr. Kelly McGonigal joins Forrest and me to share some of the surprising benefits of activity, and how to find ease and joy in movement.
