102. Embracing Sh*t

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang

Manure is fertilizer for the most beautiful gardens.

Resisting sh*t causes more suffering.

If we choose to embrace life’s challenges and sh*tstorms, in a loving and intentional way, we can help ourselves move through sh*tstorms more easefully.

Listen to learn how to implement helpful coaching tools and strategies to get through life’s manure piles with more calm and ease.

“Our greatest freedom is in how we react to things.” - The Boy the Mole the Fox and the Horse, Charley Mackesy

With loving amusement, Jessie offers some tools to help you navigate through the manure piles of life with more calm and grace.

• Pause and breathe.
• Accept and…
• "Of course"
• It’s almost never about you
• It's usually not in your control

Ease comes from focusing on what is in your control.

“When the dark clouds come- keep going. When the big things feel out of control focus on what you love right under your nose.” - Charley Mackesy

“Sometimes said the boy - sometimes what- just getting up and carrying on is brave and magnificent.”

Embracing sh*t is an uplevel from using these tools.

Embracing involves welcoming the sh*t in– opening the door for it. Embracing is allowing the emotions and the feelings and letting them and the sh*t be.

It is a bigger gesture than accepting.

Listen to understand how you can begin to seek learning, growth, and wisdom in the sh*t.

Join Jessie for coaching to learn the art and skill of integrating these tools into your life. They get more and more helpful with understanding, practice, and acquired skill. www.jessiemahoneymd.com

Join us at Green Gulch where we will work through sh*t together, processing it, and perhaps start to make it into fertilizer at our next Mindful Healers Connect in Nature Retreat in July 2023. We will also enjoy the gardens and farms that utilize the manure as fertilizer and turn them into magic, nutrition, beauty and healing for both body, mind, and spirit. www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats
