Stories From Women Who Walk podcast offers you 60 Seconds For Thoughts on Thursday: Who Here Would Like Feeling Less Agitation and More Solid? Yes, it's a copy from the archives. Yes, I'm still feeling rode hard and hung up wet having walked Gus the Good to the Rainbow Bridge. Yes, the HoliDazed are upon us. Maybe like me you could use a tip from my teacher, Thay (Thich Nhat Hanh) to practice becoming like a deeply rooted tree so you can ground yourself no matter how fiercely the winds buffet you. Maybe like me this time of year catches you unawares. How did it get here so soon? So much to do and so little time left! How will I ever wrap up the year? My teacher Thich Nhat Hanh would point to the trees and say, “When you look at the tree during the storm you can see that the top of the tree is not solid. You can only see the tiny branches and a number of leaves on the top of the tree swaying back and forth under the effect of the wind. You have the impression that the tree is very vulnerable but if you look down to see the big branches and the trunk of the tree you see that the tree is strongly rooted in the ground. The impression that the tree is vulnerable will vanish. You see that the tree is much more solid than it looks at the top. We are like that too.” Practical Tip: When you feel agitated, vulnerable you can practice to get solid again. The stability of your body will help stabilize your mind. Sit quietly and say to yourself: Breathing in I see myself grounded; breathing out I feel solid. Keep repeating until you feel solid, grounded. Because you will. Guaranteed!  _____________________ #HumanConnection #ResilienceBuilding #CalmMind #MindsetShift

A false desire refers to a simultaneously powerful and deceptive impulse that leads us to activities and choices that are not fully aligned with our genuine values, long-term goals, or overall well-being. These desires seem attractive and compelling, and may even provide an immediate sense of satisfaction, but frequently have negative long-term consequences. What are some examples of false desires? 🍪 Eating a cookie when you’re having a difficult day. 😴 Resting on the couch when you set a goal to exercise today. 📋 Not finishing your daily charting because it feels overwhelming. 📱 Scrolling on social media rather than tackling your to-do list. 📉 Not starting that long sought-after project because you’re afraid you might fail. In this week’s episode, Arpita Gupta DePalma, MD, FAAP, TIPC and I are talking about false desires. Whether it’s resisting that tempting scoop of ice cream or the constant pull of your phone, these powerful impulses can hinder your path to success. Dr. DePalma and I explore the deceptive nature of these urges, revealing their origins in our own thoughts. We discuss practical strategies to identify and navigate these false desires when they arise and provide practical insights on overcoming these urges. We also give a tangible approach to resisting immediate gratification. During the conversation, we also underscore the importance of occasional indulgence, emphasizing the significance of planned and intentional choices. Do you often find yourself grappling with strong urges that derail your carefully set goals? Then, this episode is for you! Tune in to raise your awareness and learn valuable strategies to combat these goal-crushing impulses.
