The Courageous Life

Practicing Courage #1: The space between stimulus and response


Listen Later

Welcome to Practicing Courage - a space where we are dedicated to exploring what it means to live well, and engaging in practices that support finding the courage to do so. 

To support your own exploration of these deep and personal questions, once-a-week I will be offering you a brief practice that will infuse storytelling, research, and tips for making the most of whatever tool or practice may be offered.

You’ll be able to find all of these recordings here on the Courageous Life podcast feed under the mini episodes that have “Practicing Courage” in the title, or at https://www.practicingcourage.com/join-library, which is a free space where we are housing all of the practices over time. The hope being that are able to choose to access them in whatever way is easiest and most preferable for you.

The micro-practices will vary widely in content coming from my own experiences of exploring these questions over my career - including conversations on The Courageous Life, teaching positive psychology and mindfulness, and my work as a coach.

Today, we are kicking things off with:

  • An introduction to this community
  • The intention of offering a space like this
  • Highlights from the science of courage
  • An inspiring clip from a conversation with Amy Edmondson
  • And a simple 3-part practice for finding more courage in the midst of our busy day-to-day experiences as well as tips for how to make the most of it.

Thanks for practicing with us!

And remember, courage is contagious. If you know someone who would benefit from today’s practice please share!
