Tashi Delek. Tashi Delek. Tashi Delek. Episode 10 of the Cool Hand Dross Podcast is a milestone—and a grounding mental health reset.

In this episode, we focus exclusively on mental health, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and emotional regulation through simple Buddhist-inspired frameworks that help you reconnect with your true self.

You’ll hear two powerful mental models I practice daily:

🌊 Be the ocean, not the wave — emotions rise and fall, but you are the steady depth beneath them. ☀️ The sun and the clouds — your true self is always shining; thoughts are just passing clouds.

We explore:

• Anxiety as future-thinking
  

• Sadness as past-thinking
  

• How thoughts create mental pollution
  

• Why peace exists between the breath
  

• Naming thoughts without fighting them
  

• Letting emotions pass without attaching meaning
  

This episode blends mindfulness, Buddhist psychology, meditation, journaling, and lived experience into a practical mental health practice you can return to anytime.

If you struggle with anxiety, overthinking, emotional fatigue, or staying present—this episode is for you.

The sun is always shining. Let the clouds pass.

Tashi Delek.
