Just think about this: a schoolyard bully pushes a kid, or maybe you've been pushed, and if you've pushed back, chances are you've pushed back just a little bit harder to escalate the tension and the suffering, and so the buddha proposed that instead you send them a gift, and I want you to follow me on this, the connection I'm going to make here. So to take the opportunity now to prepare the gift while you are not angry and then, when all else fails, go and mail that gift to them, and amazingly, you'll feel better.
Ever feel like you're just going through the motions, especially during the holidays? Todd Brossart has something special for you in this episode of the Mental Events podcast. He dives into the true meaning of 'presence'—not just being physically there, but truly engaging with those around you. This is particularly poignant as many of us face the challenges of social distancing and pandemic restrictions.
Todd shares practical tips on how to cultivate mindfulness, show generosity, and offer genuine compassion, even when we can't be together in person. He also delves into a powerful lesson from the Buddha on managing anger and conflict, offering a fresh perspective on how to handle life's inevitable bumps. If you're looking to deepen your connections and live more fully, this episode is a must-listen.
Todd's insights are like a warm hug for your soul, reminding you that the greatest gift you can give anyone is your true presence.
