We talk about how the world can feel overwhelming, and how we have two options, to turn down the volume and numb ourselves, or to fully feel everything and work on raising our capacity to handle it. We discuss the importance of embracing our sensitivity as a superpower, and how daily practices like meditation can help us increase our capacity to handle life's intensity. The goal is to avoid just turning down the dial, and instead learn to thrive in the fullness of our experience.
what's going on cadres here happy friday we made it and i hope you have some fun weekend plans and last night i went live a care pickering we had such a blast thanks for everyone that that showed up and engaged and and played with us a little bit last night we talked around capacity and how loud this world is and how we have two options with that we can turn the volume down and we can numb we can escape we can distract there's plenty of those uh methods in this world and those aren't all bad but we do need to realize what we are doing we are turning the dog down with that or we can crank it we can feel everything and then when we short you know we have the mental health things that are going on and we're trying to grapple with all having access to everything 24/7 with that we can crank it and then we can learn to raise our capacity to be with everything and that's a very rare person that one feels everything and then two has the courage and the desire to learn how to raise their capacity and so that's what we talked about last night hopefully it wasn't just philosophical it was very practical as well we did a breath and meditation towards the end which has been game changing for me over the last couple of years of bringing that practice in and the last thing i'll share is this that your sensitivity that your the fact that you feel everything is not a weakness that does not make you broken it does not make you bad or wrong that that is your superpower but one thing that every just like x-men and all these different things one thing around superpowers you have to learn to work with it and so that happens in daily practices and that's what i do if i coach and practice i teach people to raise their capacity instead of turning the volume down we crank it together and then we see where the shorts happen and then we raise our capacity together so if that's you and you 're feeling everything and you you feel defeated and helpless and hopeless and just beaten up um like the rest of us are you're normal you're human being and you also have a superpower that 's meant to guide you to erase your capacity so i want to encourage you to to lean in to embrace your sensitivity to embrace your story and to optimize it into medicine so that you can serve and love us just in the same way each of us are doing for you so love you happy friday have a great weekend
