#459 BITESIZE | A Monks Guide To Happiness & How To Thrive in Hard Times | Gelong Thubten
What if the most courageous, compassionate thing you could do in life, was to learn how to be with yourself?\n\nToday\u2019s clip is from episode 387 of the podcast with Buddhist monk, meditation teacher and author of \u2018A Handbook for Hard Times: A Monk\u2019s Guide to Fearless Living\u2019 - Gelong Thubten.\n\nIn this clip he explains that when we distract ourselves by scrolling, overeating, or drinking for example, we\u2019re pushing away emotional pain or discomfort \u2013 even if we may not realise it. But the discomfort is really in the pushing. If we can learn instead to sit with what\u2019s making us uncomfortable, those emotions start to transform.\n\nThanks to our sponsor\xa0https://www.drinkag1.com/livemore\n\nSupport the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.
