Plant Your Life

Inspired by the insight I gained in 2002 from listening to Pema Chodren while on strict hospital bed rest for 2 months when pregnant with my twins. In this episode I talk about the benefit of learning to stay with your emotions. Our common behaviors when we feel uncomfortable emotions are to either resist, avoid (buffer with addictions) or react. What if you were willing to stay with whatever emotion you had? We often feel like we won’t be able to survive certain emotions, but it is not the emotions that cause us harm, it’s the actions we take from emotions we are feeling or resisting.  Topics covered in this episode: Describing What Emotions Are Discuss How As A Society We Are Taught To Avoid Our Emotions Consequences Of Not Feeling Your Emotions - Buffers and Addictions Benefits Of Allowing Your Emotions Learning How to Truly Feel An Emotion In Your Body  Mentioned In The Podcast: https://pemachodronfoundation.org
