#195 How To Find Inspiration Everywhere You Look with Light Watkins
CAUTION: This episode contains mild swearing.\nMy guest today is internationally acclaimed meditation teacher, speaker and author, Light Watkins. I first spoke to him back on episode 23 of the podcast, when I know he inspired many of you to start a practice of meditation by breaking down common misconceptions and stripping away some of the rules and rigidity around meditation. So we begin this episode by talking about how our own approaches to meditation have evolved. We discuss the importance of consistency and how meditation is a catalyst for change even when you\u2019re not meditating.\nLight explains how he committed to sending out a Daily Dose of Inspiration \u2013 a positive story, anecdote, or learning - to his email list back in 2016. Now, some of these emails have come together in Light\u2019s latest book, Knowing Where To Look: 108 Daily Doses Of Inspiration. We talk about how he managed this huge undertaking \u2013\xa0by approaching writing in the same way he meditates: consistently. The process quickly showed him that it\u2019s possible to find inspiration everywhere you look. It trained him to look at life through a different lens and find life\u2019s silver linings. In this conversation, Light shares how we can all find the inspiration that is all around us by training ourselves to look for it.\nWe talk about how you can learn to trust your inner guide by starting small - Light calls it his \u2018divine GPS\u2019, a power greater than himself that\u2019s showing him the way to go. Whether you believe in a higher power or not, just being open to the idea that there\u2019s a different way to view every situation is a powerful skill to cultivate. Think, \u2018Why is this happening for me\u2019 not \u2018Why is it happening to me\u2019, he advises.\nThis conversation is full of inspiring anecdotes and advice that I hope will give you a new perspective.\xa0\nThanks to our sponsors:\nhttp://www.vivobarefoot.com/uk/livemore\nhttp://www.athleticgreens.com/livemore\nShow notes available at\xa0https://drchatterjee.com/195\nFollow me on https://www.instagram.com/drchatterjee\n\xa0\nFollow me on\xa0https://www.facebook.com/DrChatterjee\n\xa0\nFollow me on\xa0https://twitter.com/drchatterjeeuk\nDISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
