Turning Towards Life - a Thirdspace podcast

109: The Anatomy of Annoying


Listen Later

How might we learn to relax our annoyance, to treat what irritates us as if it were the weather rather than something personal, and in so doing take our defensive reactivity down a step? A conversation about blame, kindness, and finding a way to be contactful with our experience, with Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

So much of our annoyance and irritation comes from our certainty that what's happening is happening 'to me'. As is if we walk around the world super-sensitive to the way everything is aimed in our direction. But when we look more closely at the anatomy of our annoyance, sometimes we start to see that what's annoying us is often not 'what's happening' but our own relationship to it, and that there's a way we judge ourselves and others that adds to our difficulties.

This is Turning Towards Life, a weekly live 30 minute conversation hosted by Thirdspace in which Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn dive deep into big questions of human living. Find us on FaceBook to watch live and join in the lively conversation on this episode. We’re also on YouTube, and as a podcast on Apple, Google and Spotify.
