When we're wrestling with experiences that challenge our identities or our confidence—like failures at work, relationship struggles, or letting go of old belief systems — it can be tempting to reach for positive self-talk that pushes back against the difficult feelings we might be having.   In today's guided practice, Caverly Morgan offers something much sturdier, what she calls unconditional reassurances.  In this practice, we're not just saying the opposite of what we're feeling, hoping that it will be true. Rather, it's about anchoring into a deep-down sense of worthiness and compassion that's always present, regardless of how well things are going for us or how great we feel about ourselves in any given moment.  This meditation is part of our Powerful Women of the Mindfulness Movement series, where we're sharing guided practices from the women featured in our 2025 special edition of Mindful magazine.  If you'd like the transcription of this guided meditation, it will be online on Mindful.org next week.  Curious about the many benefits of being a member?

A heartfelt story of a father reaching out to his daughter during a tumultuous time—her recent breakup. Through a series of poignant text messages, he emphasizes the powerful analogy of bulls and cows when it comes to facing life's challenges. While cows seek shelter during a storm, prolonging their suffering, bulls charge straight through the storm, experiencing the full intensity of the storm but emerging more swiftly on the other side. The father's advice to his daughter? Embrace the pain and confront her feelings head-on, rather than running away. This metaphor, illustrates how we all encounter impermanence and loss throughout our lives. From the endings of relationships to the inevitable decline of our own bodies, these experiences shape our journey. But how do we cultivate the courage to face them? Consider the story of a woman coping with alopecia, demonstrating how acceptance can often require a process before it transforms into courage. You will be encouraged to reflect on the qualities needed to embody the "bull" in your own storms: bravery, self-compassion, and the acceptance that suffering, while inevitable, can be navigated with grace.

It was while working for Comedy Central that Cally Beaton had a chance conversation with the late, great Joan Rivers, then 81. Rivers inspired her to ditch the high-powered job as a TV exec and follow her dream. So it was that as a 45 year old single parent, Cally first took to the stage, quickly cementing her position as one of the most exciting and original new stand-ups in the UK. In this conversation with the deeply authentic Cally we talk about the breakdown she had in her mid forties and how she recovered from it. As she says, 'the coping strategies I'd used for the first 45 of my years weren't working so I had to find new ones.' We also analyse why she, like many women, finds it so hard to access her anger and the power of actually sitting with your emotions, no matter how hard it is. Cally's hit podcast show Namaste Motherfuckers brings together the worlds of self-help and business and deftly showcases her talent for connection and empathy. We get bucket loads of that here.

This solo podcast episode is about managing difficult emotions when loved ones move away. I am working on managing my emotions as both my kids who are Canadian settle in London England.The first things kind people might say to me is : oh that must be hard having them both so far away or you must miss them.. and both are true in moments. And because I have the tools that I use to manage my chronic illness which is systemic lupus or SLE, I find this is a time in my life when again I can view the situation with fear as a loss or with curiousity as an opportunity to learn something new. And I know from my hero Ellen Langer Stanford social psychologist that “every thought affects every part of the body” so what I say to others matters if I want to feel good about my siutaion with my kids living away.For my recent trip to England I packed my 5 point plan.Noticing difficult emotions as they arise. So here they are: anger, fear, stress. So before I left I had negative and fearful thoughts like “why do I have to get on this plane, contribute to climate change to see my kids?” I am still naming these various emotions watch them come and go. I do my best not to judge them and try to watch them come and go like the weather.I pack my outside mindset with me everywhere. it is my guiding star. The kids, who also have outside mindsets – thank goodness already know that all I wanted to do was walk outside with family in green space while I was there. We all know this is where we are our best selves – smiling more, more relaxed, and noticing new things to keep us in the present. As Ellen Langer says simply noticing is mindfulness. So I ended up having so much fun outdoors with mu kids in England. We took a train to Lulworth Cove, near Bournemouth  and hiked together for 4 hours, we spent an entire rainy day strolling around Hampstead Heath Park in London, and we spent two days roaming the grounds of Leeds Castle in Kent County. And I have the social media pictures to prove it on IG, facebook and linkedin.Dr Ellen Langer says that when we are having fun, we are being mindful. And when we are mindful we are attracted to others and they are attracted to us. The poet Keats must have known this too. When we  toured his house in Hampstead, we learned that when he became very sick before his death in his early twenties, he became more and more jealous of his lover and asked her “who have you smiled with today?” When I moved back to my hometown of Pine Falls I noticed that everyone liked to find humor – to laugh. You meet someone on the street, chat, and have a laugh about something. I believe this has something to do with the native community close by Sagkeeng and more so in Pine Falls where laughter is used so often and so beautifully to articulate and recognize loss.Hand on my heart and say good for you, you are doing the best you can, and everything is ok. Langer goes even further and tells us to “assume everthing is going to be ok.” What can I thank right now? The fresh air, a tree, a bird….and notice how that feels.Climate action.  Find transcript For peer reviewed research on how your time spent in green space can change your mindset, balance your nervous system and your heart rate please go to my website https://treesmendus.com and check out my books Take Back Your Outside Mindset: Live Longer, Stress Less, and Control Your Chronic Illness and Optimize Your Heart Rate: Balance Your Mind and Body With Green Space

In this episode of my podcast I share a mental training tool called the ABC method - it's super easy to remember and highly effective to tackle negative emotions such as fear, anger, overwhelm or jealousy (and many more) - on and off your mountain bike. I use it a lot with my clients in my counselling, but also with the athletes when we work on mental strength and resilience - and also use it a lot myself when I get frustrated while practicing or just overwhelmed with emotions of different sorts.  I hope you find it helpful!  Support this podcast - because it is not monetized, that's why you don't hear ads!It actually costs me money and time every month, as I need to pay for hosting and spend a lot of assets researching, recording, editing and publishing it.

In waking life and in our meditative experiences, we can experience difficult emotions. So what do we do when challenging feelings come up in a session?  The answer may surprise you.  I'll also talk about how meditation can help us become a little bit more equanimous, a fancy word for even-tempered; not rattled easily by outside things.

What are you like at sitting with difficult emotions - like fear, sadness or anger? Let's be honest, it's not fun. But our ability to sit with discomfort is so important, although most of us tend to distract ourselves where possible, which is much easier these days with the digital distraction devices in our pockets. Clarke Carlisle explains how he has learned to sit with his emotions, and how he has taught the language of emotions to his children - an extremely valuable exercise that we use in our home.Champion Thinking: How To Find Success Without Losing Yourself - is now on general release. Drawing on some of my favourite interviews over the last five years, I want to challenge our ideas about 'success', and where peace, joy and fulfilment are truly to be found.

A lot of what we do here and what I teach is to focus on our thinking, because our thoughts truly create our reality. It is crucial that we understand this- because right now we're blaming our life on the facts and circumstances and people around us.   But, today I want to teach you an evolved concept. One where we take your painful thought and instead of trying to thought swap to get to a better feeling, we make your painful thought a fact, and then decide how we want to feel about that.   This is especially helpful when you're dealing with a diagnosis, a tragedy, a schedule that is out of your control, mental health issues, etc.   In today's episode, I walk you through what this process looks like and how you can use it in your life to grant yourself peace even in the midst of pain.   Nothing has gone wrong. This too shall pass. And it doesn't have to be the best time for it to still be worth your time. Sometimes life is hard and we can do hard things!   See you inside

We will learn: The surprising truth about seeking spiritual enlightenment and why it may be holding you back from true fulfillment The hidden potential within anxiety so you can transform it into a healing frequency that propels you forward The powerful practice of reverse meditation and how it can help you let go of ego, leading to a state of radical freedom What's your first move when difficult emotions start to bubble up? Do you distract yourself, maybe dive into work or binge a TV show? If that sounds like you, you're in good company; it's a pretty common coping mechanism. But what if those emotions are not your enemies but your guides? What if they're not obstacles but opportunities? If you're intrigued, you should be. Because what we're about to delve into could not only change your relationship with your emotions but could also offer you a path to inner freedom that you've never even considered. Our guest is Andrew Holecek. He is an author, speaker, and humanitarian who offers seminars internationally on meditation, lucid dreaming, and the art of dying. He has studied sleep yoga, bardo yoga, and other traditional practices with living masters in India and Nepal. And his books include Dreams of Light, Dream Yoga, and Reverse Meditation.
