Microdose Meditation: A Mindfulness Practice to Build Resilience When Life Feels Overwhelming

The Whole Again Podcast: Mindfulness and Resilience through Kinstugi Wisdom airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with Pause Breathe Reflect Microdose Meditations, Growth Mindset and Mindfulness Tips, to help us transform our scars into healing and resilience.

And between May and October, I'm sharing a new series I'm calling: A Perfectly Imperfect Union. It's about connecting with every day folks as they reflect on America at 250. Conversations will air every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

What if the situation overwhelming you right now looks completely different from the way it looks from someone else's seat in the theater?

That's the invitation at the heart of this week's microdose meditation.

When we're in the thick of something -- conflict, stress, worry, anxiety -- it has a way of pulling us under. We lose perspective. We lose the ability to see a path forward. And the harder we stare at it, the more it controls us. This practice gently loosens that grip. By stepping back and watching your situation as if it were a movie, then shifting the seat you're watching from, you begin to access wisdom that the fog of the moment tends to hide.

In this episode, you will discover:

• A simple visualization technique for creating distance from whatever is causing you stress or conflict right now
• How to see your situation through the eyes of someone who believes in you and has your best interests at heart
• What a wiser, older version of yourself -- one with 10, 20, or 30 more years of experience -- might want you to know
• The perspective shift that comes from watching your story from a higher vantage point entirely
• How the Pause, Breathe, Reflect app gives you access to this practice and over 700 others, completely free

Press play, find a comfortable position, and give yourself the gift of a few minutes to see your situation from a new seat. You might be surprised what becomes visible when you stop watching from inside the storm.
