Episode notes

Stepping into the unknown, whether it's through writing a book, speaking on stage, leading others, or any form of self-expression is like immersing into cold water - uncomfortable and resistible. However, delving into discomfort leads to the discovery of new possibilities both externally and internally. The unknown is where creativity thrives, where new ideas are born. Meaning is also found in the unknown, such as the profoundness of helping others in need, stepping out of the comfort zone to lend a hand. By embracing discomfort and vulnerability, by traversing the unknown, we uncover not only new creations but also profound meanings in our lives.

Join me for a thought-provoking journey with the incredible Leo Babauta, a champion of mindfulness and minimalism, as we discuss the transformative practice of slowing down. Listen in as Leo sheds light on the often-overlooked power of simplicity in our hectic lives and how creating mental space within our daily tasks can lead to profound changes. His Zen Habits principles and actionable strategies for habit formation are not only insightful but also equip us with the tools to live more intentionally and find joy in less.
