Episode 253: Stop Reframing Your Way Away from Negativity

Changing your viewpoint to see things in a more positive manner seems like such a productive, uplifting way to live. And it is in so many ways. It makes you more vibrant, pleasant to be around and resilient. But it also shortchanges your chance to just FEEL what you FEEL with no judgement, label or need to be different. As Kristin Neff says, PAIN + RESISTANCE = SUFFERING. If you take away resistance to unpleasant feelings, you drastically reduce suffering. On today's episode, learn how reframing can actually be harmful and hear how sitting in the fire of our dissatisfaction can lead to our greatest transformation.
