Words hurt. The unkind words and actions of others can hurt far worse than physical pain. Physical pain is fleeting, but disappointment, betrayal, disrespect and cruelty can last a lifetime and change us forever.

So what can we do? Is there a way for other people's words and actions not to effect us? Is it truly possible to stay at peace, even when you're home for Thanksgiving with all the people who know exactly how to push your buttons?

In this podcast, I share the real reason we get upset. I talk about how to keep our peace despite terrible circumstances. And I discuss what to do when we find ourselves in those unbearable situations.

Once we understand why we lose our cool, keeping it becomes easy.

Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living. Remember to subscribe to stay up-to-date.
