I think mindfulness taken too far that it's only about seeing is incomplete. We can get caught up also in fighting with the weeds. The mind is inherently imperfectible. It just unfolds. And I would really encourage that for people because it's so hopeful, you know, we can be pulling weeds forever in the garden,. But what we can do is grow the good alongside all that is else there.
In this Episode, You Will Learn...
- The fundamental quality of recognizing the good in and having compassion for ourselves and how it's foundational in how we show up in relationships
- Recognizing tension in relationships and developing practices to help you determine what to do or say and when
- Asking yourself to choose harmony or truth in conflicts and how if you routinely choose one, you can end up with neither.
- Why it's important to admit fault and how it's a strength, not a weakness
- Using wise speech is about how we say something and it can have more impact than what we say
- The useful strategy of making small agreements that can improve larger issues in a relationship
