When it comes to wise effort, it's about using wisdom to do the heavy lifting.
Ever felt like you're pushing a boulder uphill with no end in sight? Trudy Mitchell-Gilkey knows that struggle and offers a fresh perspective on how to approach life's challenges more wisely. In this episode of the Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC podcast, Trudy dives into the Buddha's teachings on wise and unwise effort.

Instead, Trudy shows how applying wisdom can make even the toughest tasks feel lighter. With her background as a mindfulness-based cognitive therapist and insight meditation teacher, she brings a wealth of experience to the table. Trudy's insights are not just theoretical; they are practical tools you can use to prevent unwholesome states and find balance in your daily life. She emphasizes the importance of patience and receptivity, reminding us that wise effort isn't about force but about smart, thoughtful action.
