Do your best and leave the rest. Live each day with a feeling of equanimity. Meditate. We know all the things we need to do but how do we start? And what if we start but one day we don’t quite do our best (and definitely don’t leave the rest). How do we push through the frustration of not getting it perfect each day? First off, stop being so hard on yourself!  Change is not linear and we all take a stumble or two (or ten) backwards on our journey of growth. In this episode, we share tips from the Geeta on how to start incorporating good habits in your life and how to get back on that path when you veer off.

It can be a do-over, a second chance. It’s a mystery. An incentive to do better. It can make you fearful or hopeful. It can bring a sense of peace. In this podcast, we discuss reincarnation. Does our behavior in this lifetime impact the next? Do our souls reunite with the souls of loved ones in our next life? Join us as we discuss this cycle of birth and death.

I deserve it! We have all had that thought before. I worked hard therefore I deserve the promotion. I studied hard so I deserve to get into that college. Maybe you thought, I messed up, so I deserve the punishment. But what do we really deserve? In the Geeta, Krishna reminds us that we only have a right to the effort and no right to the result. No one deserves anything – not the good fortune or the bad. The only thing you have a “right” to is the effort itself and not the outcome. If you can't impact the outcome, you may wonder why bother trying? Krishna says that no effort is ever wasted. No matter the outcome, you always learn, grow, and evolve from doing your best. And you deserve that.

Oh, that trickly little tempter Anger. Anger has the power to make us lose reason. Say things we don’t mean. Lash out. Even make us feel temporarily powerful. Anger is a feeling familiar to most of us and sometimes hard to avoid. In our latest podcast we share the Geeta’s guidance on how to control our anger and not allow our anger to control us. Listen to this episode and then tell Anger who’s boss.

A good part of Chapter 1 in the Bhagavad Geeta is Arjun making excuses for why he doesn’t want to engage in battle with his ne’er-do-well cousins. He makes excuse after excuse for why he can’t do what he knows he has to do. Will it really do any good? They are my family- I can’t stand up to them! It will be bad for my karma if I do something! Sound familiar?

In this podcast, we break down all the excuses we make to not do our duty. We discuss how we can stop making excuses and just do the right thing. Arjun had to take on his battles, and so do we.

You’ve heard parents complain that kids don’t come with an instruction manual (despite shelves of books at your local bookstore that try to fill that gap). In this podcast, we break down the ultimate parenting guidebook. The Bhagavad Geeta may not break down the healthiest snacks for kids or the best video games for your teen but all the advice you need to raise kids without pulling your hair out? Yup, it’s full of that. Check out our latest podcast, “Geeta Girl Discusses Finally! An Instruction Manual for Parenting” on our website geetagirl.com, Apple Podcast/iTunes, Spotify, and everywhere you listen to podcasts.

Are you teen? Do you have a teen? Were you a teen (though you may want to forget)? If so, you’re going to want to listen to this podcast. We discuss balancing competing priorities, dealing with peer pressure, managing growing responsibilities, and, of course, why does everyone’s social media life look better than mine? (Hmmm, maybe this podcast isn’t just for teens).  And to no one’s surprise, the Geeta holds some answers. Sharmila and Shaila take a backseat in this podcast and invited some very special young people to lead the discussion and share questions and examples from their own lives. If you have a teen in your life, we encourage you to listen to this podcast together.

In this podcast, we discuss defining and following through with your own unique dharma or responsibility. That means doing the hard stuff even if you don’t want to. Standing up for what is the right (despite the naysaying). And following through with your responsibilities without worrying about the outcome. So focus on taking action and not on the results- like canvassing, writing postcards, phone banking, talking to friends, voting! And if things don’t go the way you hoped, you know what you have to do. Your dharma. Again (and again).
