333: Noticing Urgency and Slowing Down
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this solo episode, I share recent life updates and reflect on what I've been noticing come up for me lately. After a few weeks of travel and starting my own practice, I've recognized the ways anxiety has shown up amidst an inconsistent schedule.
I talk about the importance of checking in with one's capacity, recognizing urgency and guilt, and practicing slowing down instead of immediately reacting, even if it doesn't come naturally. I explore how anxiety can convince us that everything needs to be immediate and why guilt doesn't always need our attention.
I hope this episode is a reminder that feeling the need to "do more" does not always need to be acted on and it's okay to check in with ourselves, and honor our limits.
