In this episode of The Gathering Pod: Calm Down, We Can Do Both!, Martha talks about how calming yourself frees the brain to come up with creative ways to get everything your heart desires—even when those desires seem to conflict with each other.

Martha recommends that when you reach an impasse in your yearning, push hard against the frustration you feel and let the yearning be bigger—and then let go. That’s when you get calm, which activates your brain’s full creative potential to find solutions you never thought of before!

(Note: Martha will be teaching you to trade anxiety for this kind of creative capacity in her upcoming course, “The Art of Calm.” Registration closes soon! Read more and sign up here: marthabeck.com/calm )
