Dr. Michael Gervais says that we can only train for three things:
I don’t know about you, but I didn’t learn how to train my mind in school. I didn’t even know such a skill was possible until I was deep in crisis in my 30s.
But I got lucky. I discovered the podcast, The One You Feed. I learned about meditation, mindfulness, and cultivating stillness despite radically tough moments. More importantly, I learned that these practices could be applied simply and work—if I put in the work.
I’ve invited the show’s host and behavior coach, Eric Zimmer, to share ways to meet tough moments with a calm mind: a mind that can invite strength, peace, and renewal.
