The more time we spend in our circle of concern, but not inside our circle of influence, our circle of influence actually shrinks.
Ever feel like fear is taking over, especially when times are tough? Eric Zimmer, the host of 'The One You Feed', has been there. He once battled homelessness and heroin addiction but turned his life around. Now, he's sharing how you can tackle fear and uncertainty in a special mini-episode. Drawing from his own experiences and the wisdom he's gathered, Zimmer talks about the importance of feeding your 'good wolf'—the part of you that's kind, brave, and loving.
He reminds us that focusing on the negative only makes it stronger, while nourishing our positive traits can help us thrive. Zimmer kicks things off with the famous parable of the two wolves. It's a simple yet powerful story: the wolf you feed is the one that wins. So, how do you feed the good wolf when fear is knocking at your door? Zimmer offers practical advice, starting with finding opportunities even in tough times.
Maybe you now have more time to connect with loved ones or to reflect on what truly matters. He also emphasizes responding to challenges in a skillful way. While we can't control everything, we can control our reactions. By focusing on what we can influence rather than what we can't, we can make a positive impact. Zimmer introduces two mindfulness practices to help you stay grounded: straw breathing and belly breathing.
These techniques can help you shift from a state of anxiety to one of calm. If you're looking for ways to manage fear and uncertainty, this episode is packed with actionable tips and heartfelt advice. Zimmer's journey from rock bottom to successful podcaster and author is a testament to resilience and the power of self-improvement. Tune in to learn how to feed your good wolf and navigate these challenging times with courage and grace.
