In 2023 there is still a classic stereotype looming around meditation. Sure, this stereotype has definitely been watered down a little during the last few years which is great.

So many of us tend to go through our days on autopilot, which is essentially the opposite of mindfulness. We act unconsciously or habitually, even forming thoughts and judgments without conscious awareness of what we are doing (or why or how well). We just react. Our mind is configured to always seek the next big thing; the next thrill, the next adventure and so on and this robs us off being in the present moment.
In this episode, I spoke about 7 ways to overcome this myth that there’s something bigger to achieve than what we have in the present moment.

We all have friends that we love but are absolutely draining to talk to. Every time they call you, you know exactly what you’re in for. No matter how hard we try to optimize for the optimistic, negative people will always be a part of each of our lives and that’s okay.
Today, I talked about negativity. Negativity is contagious. It’s important to know how to spot negative people in your life and how to deal with them so they don’t project their negativities on us. And also to give an insight to check on ourselves and our negative tendencies.

How can happiness be increased and then sustained? Scientists have collected evidence demonstrating that it is a misunderstanding to think that the pursuit of happiness is simply a bourgeois concern, an expression of self-centeredness, or a factor irrelevant to psychological adaptation and personal development. On the contrary, a growing body of evidence shows that the ability to be happy and contented with life is a central criterion of positive mental health and social adaptation.

An excerpt from a chapter of Jay Shetty’s debut book, “Think Like a Monk”, titled “Negativity is Everywhere”,
You wake up. Your hair looks terrible. Your partner complains that you’re out of coffee. On the way to work some driver who’s texting makes you miss the light. The news on the radio is worse than yesterday. Your coworker whispers to you that Candace is pretending to be sick again.... Every day we are assaulted by negativity. No wonder we can’t help but dish it out as well as receive it. We report the aches and pains of the day rather than the small joys. We compare ourselves to our neighbors, complain about our partners, say things about our friends behind their backs that we would never say to their faces, criticize people on social media, argue, deceive, even explode into anger.
These are just some of the negativities will go through in our days and in the past few weeks, it has become paramount to talk about self-care and more importantly to take care of ourselves.
On this episode, I discussed 8 Steps for taking care of ourselves because if we don’t, nobody will and it’s the foundation of our wellbeing.

We all compare ourself to others, but why? We do this even when the comparisons aren’t meaningful. Even when they make us unhappy. Even when they don’t actually make us better, smarter, or more productive human beings.
