You don't need to stop the thoughts, you just need to change the relationship to them.
Ever thought meditation just isn't for you because your brain never seems to shut off? You're not alone. In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Jeff Warren, a former journalist who has transformed into a meditation teacher and writer. Jeff's relatable approach and practical wisdom make meditation feel within reach, even for the busiest of minds.
His latest book, 'Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics', co-authored with Dan Harris, is a testament to his down-to-earth teaching style. Jeff explains that meditation isn’t about stopping your thoughts but changing how you relate to them. Imagine observing your thoughts with curiosity rather than trying to control them. This shift can lead to greater mindfulness, self-awareness, and even help tackle mental health issues like anxiety and ADHD.
Throughout the conversation, Jeff shares personal anecdotes and practical tips on developing kindness and compassion through meditation. He also touches on the benefits of exercise for mental health and the art of not feeding negative thoughts. If you've ever struggled with meditation or felt it was out of reach, Jeff’s insights might just change your mind.
