Ep 298 From Conflict to Connection: Expanding Your Tolerance for Differences

When did we become a society that became scared of negative recourse when sharing personal beliefs, values, and decisions? I had this question burning in my mind because of how divisive we can be at times, especially now, in our current political climate. In this week's episode I dive into how to expand our emotional capacity for discomfort, especially when we are presented with opposing views and beliefs. Being divisive doesn't work. Black and white thinking doesn't work. And getting angry or hateful at other people when they don't share the same beliefs at us doesn't work.. So, what works? Empathy, understanding, and expanding our own ability to be with our uncomfortable feelings when we see other people thinking and doing differently than us. It improves YOUR quality of life. It makes things more peaceful. It helps bring people together. We can solve problems better, drink less alcohol and be happier in our lives. Who doesn't want that? Tune in and hear how you can expand your tolerance for differences so you can feel better and drink less in your own life! Join Alive AF!
