Ep. 23: Gen X Unplugged: A 3-Part Mindfulness Meditation Framework for Facing Change with More Peace and Clarity with Michele L. Walter
“We can face change 1% at a time with this 3-piece framework.” - Michele L. Walter
What’s the most common thing that gets in the way of facing change with more peace and clarity?
In a word: Resistance
And what’s the root of Resistance?
Our need to cling to an illusion of sameness.
Human beings are wired to want things (and ourselves) to stay the same because we like comfort and certainty.
And even when there are voluntary changes that we want to make, our Resistance can get in the way of us being able to do that.
What if you could understand and become more aware of the Resistance that gets in your way of change?
What if you could find a framework to face change (whether voluntary or involuntary) with more peace and clarity?
Well, this is your day because in this week’s solo, shorty episode, I walk you through a 3-piece framework for doing just that.
LEARN:
[00:05:00]: How our bodies are changing 1% every day, so we are constantly changing.
[00:08:00]: How Resistance puts us in survival mode (fight, flight, or freeze), which impairs our ability to think clearly as we face change.
[00:10:00]: Why staying the same is an illusion.
[00:17:00]: What Resistance looks like.
[00:15:00]: A 3-part equation for understanding Resistance.
[00:18:00]: A 3-legged foundation for mindfulness meditation to ease Resistance.
[00:30:00]: A 3-step integration to lessen your Resistance to change by living a mindful way of life.
With this 3-piece framework, it’s possible to face change with even a little bit more peace and clarity. We don’t need to have an “all or nothing” mentality when it comes to change. We can face it 1% at a time through practicing a mindful way of life!
