5 Steps To Equanimity [94]

2017/11/28

After being in the car for hours on our drive home from visiting family for Thanksgiving, we got stuck in traffic during the last 15 miles home. I was driving, feeling totally done, more than ready to be home. The girls were understandably irritable. It was not a great scene. Yet, out the window was the most beautiful sunset. It was breathtaking -- a pink and red epic experience. It was utterly breathtaking. Both were happening at the same time - our suffering, and this incomprehensible beauty.

In her editorial,Happiness is Other People, Ruth Whippman (@ruthwhippman ‏) says that, "The most significant thing we can do for our well-being is not to 'find ourselves' or 'go within.'

2017/11/14

We focus on the food, but it’s the relationships that bring us together. Yet, gathering with our families is not always all we’d hope it would be. Many of us come from families with a lot of suffering. Certain relationships tend to cause a lot of suffering in us. Peace is not always served at our tables. It can be a stressful time to say the least. But it doesn’t have to be. We have enormous power to change the dynamic. We can participate in the status quo or we can become part of the change. How do

Why don't we teach every child how to deal with challenges? How to process their feelings? For my latest podcast guest, Renee Jain, all her work started with those questions.

2017/10/17

Does your child sometimes feel like a ticking time bomb? Ready to explode at any moment? That's how it was for me with my oldest daughter. It seemed like almost everything caused her some kind of distress. She was SO attuned to my moods; we had to cut out all of the tags in her clothes; and if she missed a nap? Forget it, we were doomed. There was SO much to learn. There were so many skills I didn't have! I later realized that Maggie is a Highly Sensitive Child. And I realized that someone else was

2017/09/19

What do you say to yourself when you mess up with your kids? If you are like many of us, you berate yourself. My guest, Kristin Neff, has done the research that shows that our harsh self-criticism does NOT work. It doesn't help us grow and become better parents. In fact, it does the opposite. So what does work? Self-compassion. Kristin Neff is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, conducting the first empirical studies on self-compassion over a decade ago.

Poolside, about a month ago, I had a conversation with a couple of cool mamas in my neighborhood. I'm not sure we had ever discussed parenting before. One mom mentioned that her greatest realization in parenting was this: It's not about you. What does that mean? It means that our kids will have problems, moods, etc. that are not about you. Your job is not to fix every single one of your kid's problems. Refreshing, isn't that? But also...it's all about you. How so if it's not about you? What I want
