“Stop and smell the roses” is a familiar phrase, yet today’s guest challenges us to make the “roses” our default mode rather than something we try to remember to do.
Say What?
So… If you feel like you’re trying to stand still on ever-moving ground…
Or perhaps, you feel like, on paper, what you’ve achieved should ‘feel more satisfying and less exhausting or lacking’, or that you perhaps don’t deserve to feel content or happy in today’s world, and you find yourself worrying about ‘everything’, then this show is a recommended prescription.
I recently came across Joe DeNicholas, MBA, LCSW, whose work bridges the worlds of science, secular spirituality, and psychological healing.
Joe believes it’s not only possible but essential to cultivate and connect more often to our ‘ok-ness’ and so he helps people to do that in his work every day and in his book Unbreakable Wellbeing.
I felt truly challenged by the idea of even deserving to work on connecting to my ‘ok-ness’ more often before my conversation with Joe; ‘whattabouting’ all the things I find gravely unjust, and worried it would come across as spiritual bypassing to air a show like this, but it turns out: Joe’s approach might just help us make the world a better place.
We look at our personal barriers, frame ourselves within the big world without losing ourselves, and learn a couple of very simple exercises we can use to reconnect to a trust that we’re ok.
And that, my lovely listeners, is this week’s show. I know we all need it. Take us for a walk and let yourself trust that you’re ok.
