Show Notes
Episode 14: The Self-Compassion of Mindfulness
“Intention is a direction it’s not a destination.”
“If you’re thinking about really painful and difficult thoughts all the time, that’s your experience. If you are focusing on gratitude and beauty that’s your experience.”
“It’s not that we should neglect our pain, but we need to learn how to be with it in a different way.”
“You’re not practicing mindfulness, your practicing judgement, impatience and frustration.”
“Your future is spotless.”
