We start freaking out a little. When we begin practicing […]

Show Up For Your Life

This week, we ask a fundamental question: Why and in what ways do we check out of our lives? What are some of your ways of checking out? Do you use talking as a way to avoid what’s really going on? Do you reach for your phone to scroll through countless Instagram posts? Maybe you […]

The Great Opportunity

I often tell my students that hanging out and listening to the chatter running around in their heads is like going into a bad neighborhood.

Challenging Negativity Bias

If you've heard the term negativity bias before, you might know that it is a psychological phenomena. It basically asserts that negative events have a greater impact (in some research, even three times greater impact) on our brains than positive ones. In these particularly challenging times, it’s very difficult to steer clear of the news that surrounds us. […]

It's Not Permanent

I have one message I’d like to share with you: It’s not permanent. There will be an end to this madness. In this short video, I explore the idea of impermanence and offer some suggestions about how we might keep our sanity during the current situation: For now, let’s surrender to one idea: none of us have […]
