Season 1, Episode 23 - Do you ever get stuck in a discouragement rut? Join the club! In today's episode, we look at the reality of being discouraged and how we can find our way.
We move forward when we:
1. Normalize it.
2. Notice the Mind's Watcher
Martha Beck quote: “Stepping back from the Dictator and the Wild Child and becoming the Watcher is like thinking you’ve been stuck on a railroad track, able to move only backward and forward, and discovering that you had the capacity to fly all along.”
3. Don't resist your thoughts. Story of Having Mara With Tea.
4. Doubt your thoughts.
5. Offer yourself LOVE.
Mindfulness Poem
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
Some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!...
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
—Rumi
