Ep. 130 | How to Do a Shame Fast - And Why Your Thoughts Might Need One

In today's episode, I'm sharing something a friend of mine came up with that I found so spiritually alive I couldn't stop thinking about it — a shame fast.  She was at a church lecture about why spiritual traditions throughout history have honored fasting, and had this lightning bolt moment: I need to do this with my shame thoughts.  Mark Nepo writes in The Book of Awakening that loving yourself is like feeding a clear bird that no one else can see — every time you are cruel to yourself you scare it away, and every time you are patient and kind, it returns.  Today's episode is about what you choose to feed.  Question to carry into your day: What would it feel like to fast from one shame thought today — to notice it, name it, and choose not to follow it?   Want to chat about working together?
