Deep dives
Developing Wise Effort
The Wise Effort Podcast aims to help individuals develop Wise Effort, which involves identifying where to put one's energy and taking action in those areas with wisdom. The podcast emphasizes the importance of applying information rather than just collecting it, and offers skill-building episodes, real plays, and wisdom-building episodes to help listeners develop their Wise Effort. The ultimate goal is to make a positive impact in one's own life and the lives of others.
The E in E Out Practice
The podcast introduces a foundational skill for Wise Effort called the 'E in E Out' practice. This practice involves turning one's attention inward to check in and become curious about one's values, thoughts, and emotions. It also involves turning attention outward to consider the perspectives and needs of others. This interplay between self-focus and other-focus cultivates flexibility and allows for wise decision-making and compassionate action. By toggling between turning the 'E' in and out, individuals can develop a flow of compassion and become more effective in their lives.
Flow of Compassion and Selflessness
The podcast highlights the importance of cultivating a flow of compassion that encompasses both self-care and care for others. Research suggests that self-compassion, when seen as a harmonious practice benefiting oneself and others, leads to greater well-being. Practicing the 'E in E Out' technique, where attention is alternately turned inward and outward, helps strike a balance between self-focus and other-focus. This practice encourages individuals to pay attention to their own needs while also caring for and considering the needs of others, fostering a sense of interconnectedness and wise effort.
