Ep. 122 | Why Sometimes You Need Something to Hold You Still

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

In today's episode, I'm telling you about Danny's first girls' night back — and what happened when my 75 pound lab mix couldn't find his ground.  A dog trainer taught me years ago that sometimes you have to hold the leash until the spinning stops.  Thich Nhat Hanh writes that our breathing is a stable solid ground always there to take refuge in — that whenever we're carried away, we can return and re-establish ourselves in the present moment.  Today's episode is about finding your leash.  Question to carry into your day: What anchor do you reach for — or could you reach for — when you can't find your own stillness?  Want to chat about working together?
