podcast - what qualities am i cultivating?

0:00 / 5:00

This week we're reflecting on a question from Joseph Goldstein that's been sitting with me: "What qualities are you cultivating?" - basically, if our daily actions are like votes for the type of person we want to be, what kind of person are we actually voting for? Let's play around with how to look at this stuff with kindness instead of judgment, explore some practical ways to bring more mindfulness into our days (including why we really need to stop bringing our phones into the bathroom, for real), and talk about how paying closer attention to our habits can naturally help us shift toward the life we actually want to be living. We could be creating space to see what's really happening and then gently adjusting course when things feel misaligned.

What came up for you in response to this podcast? What types of thoughts did you notice? What did your body feel?

When you envision the version of you that exists in alignment with your values, what does that look like? How does it feel to imagine it?

What changes will you make, if any?
