Your thoughts don't strengthen or empower us. This podcast is about how other people keep themselves moving in the right direction, how they feed their good wolf.
Ever feel like you're constantly battling negative thoughts and emotions? In this engaging episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Mary O'Malley, an author, teacher, and counselor, to explore practical ways to awaken joy and well-being in our lives. Mary, known for her transformative approach to compulsions, shares her insights on how to replace fear and hopelessness with ease and joy. Instead of fighting against your compulsions, Mary suggests creating a relationship with them.
She encourages a daily practice of curiosity—spending just five minutes focusing on something that piques your interest. This simple act can help you become more aware of what you're missing and bring you back to the present moment. A key takeaway from the conversation is the concept of the 'problem mind' and the 'storyteller'. Our minds often distract us by creating problems and then trying to solve them.
Mary advises not to believe every thought you have but to turn towards your feelings with curiosity. She also discusses the 'eight core spells' that many of us live under, particularly feelings of being unlovable or broken. These spells can trap us in a 'fix it' mode that rarely works. Instead, Mary introduces the idea of becoming a 'tightness detective'—noticing what makes you feel tense and recognizing when you're disconnected from the present.
The episode is packed with practical advice for anyone looking to feed their good wolf and live a more fulfilling life. If you're struggling with negativity or seeking ways to be more present and curious, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable tips.
