The Courageous Life

Practicing Courage #18 - Finding Balance Through Life's Storms


Listen Later

How can we meet the storms in our lives (both big and small) with greater balance, courage, wisdom, and love?

It’s a huge question, I know. And the list of practices and answers is long, varied, and personal. 

I certainly don’t have "the answer" for you. 

What I do have are some observations and practices I’ve found to be particularly useful. 

Today I will offer 3 simple practices that can increase our innate capacity to meet storms in these ways. 

As always, the invitation would be to try on whichever practices seem like they may be useful for you. To test them, exploring how they might work in your own life, and to leave behind whatever is not useful.

Thank you for your practice.

I look forward to continuing together next Thursday!

-Joshua
