About this episode
Running late is… stressful. You worry that you’re going to get in trouble, let someone down or miss something important. Your heart rate rises, adrenaline courses through your body - and then someone wants to get in front of you on the road. Oh. My. God.
But what if it wasn’t stressful? Sounds too good to be true, right? What if it’s all in your head?
Meshel Laurie, a podcaster and author, believes it is all in your head, and that - actually - that’s a good thing. Because if it’s in your head, it’s in your control. Since becoming a Buddhist, Meshel has begun practising simple little mental reframes like this one every day, and she’s much happier, kinder and calmer for it.
She teaches you how letting others go first, whenever you can, trains your mind to relax and set the right intention for your day, every day.
