Creating anchors for wellness

The more anchors we can create, the less likely we are to be tossed around by the ever changing winds of life. The idea isn’t to cling to anchors - they too are vulnerable to change and they will naturally come and go - but to mindfully create time and space to nurture them. It doesn’t have to be a huge amount of time and space. Making small tweaks each day creates less resistance for our overwhelmed brains, and makes the changes more sustainable and long lasting.

The courage to listen deeply

The courage to listen deeply

When we practice deep listening, we allow the opportunity for something new to happen. The mind produces stories of what is already known and projects it onto the current moment. Often, we think we’re listening but what we’re really doing is waiting for an opportunity to share whatever story is in our mind. The familiarity of our own stories produces less anxiety than risking encountering the unknown of someone else’s experience.
