Ep. 182: Dr. Seth Gillihan — 3 Simple Ways to Lower Daily Stress and Find Rest
Audio PlayerStress is unavoidable, but we don’t have to be overwhelmed by it. In this week’s episode I offer three simple techniques for managing stress and finding true rest. These tools come from Mindful Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (affiliate link). I hope you find them useful!
Topics I discussed included:
- How I came to see the importance of stress management
- Beliefs about time that amplify our stress
- Implicit assumptions we make about needing to do more
- The society-wide belief that being busy is a virtue
- How busyness is like weeds
- How to plan more enjoyable days
- Resting in the now
- Letting go of the urge to improve this moment
A wonderful soothing meditation on being enough. Thank you!
You’re very welcome, Louise! I’m glad you liked it.
Always food for thought
Just taking the time to listen to your podcast was the self care I needed to help reduce today’s stress. A great eye opener for me. Thank you
That’s great to hear, Diane. Thank you for taking the time to listen!
Letting each moment/situation/day be enough – exactly as it is…that thought carries such power! I’ll be incorporating it into my daily meditation. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the feedback, Katherine. I still remember when that concept hit me. What a weight was lifted! Just to make peace with exactly this. Enjoy!
