DMX To Chopin - It’s Time To Get Quiet

from The Shift: A Podcast With Ben Brown · host Ben Brown

In this episode, I talk about a time when I used to watch porn regularly as a way to check out. Then something changed. Right after finishing, I had to turn it off right away.Then I saw a guy on Instagram who had meditated for 83 days straight, and something about that inspired me. I never thought about meditation before, but suddenly I was doing it. As I practiced, I noticed how often I got physically itchy and wanted to scratch. That made me realize that watching porn was simply a desire to “scratch an itch” (avoid discomfort).Meditation began teaching me how to sit with the discomfort, that it wouldn’t kill me. Then a wave of change started. I wanted to hike, do yoga, even listen to classical music! I needed new outer experiences to match the inner calm I was cultivating. Each small step led me to another shift and a whole new way of living.Face it. Shift. Grow. Repeat.
