The Courageous Life

Practicing Courage #35: Relaxing into uncertainty - a superpower for our time


Listen Later

The blank canvas.

The blank page.

The big questions:

  • What’s next in my life?
  • What do I want to do for work? 
  • How do I want to live?

These are familiar moments and seasons of life marked by the unknown.

Often filled with feelings of uncertainty, what’s beautiful about  these moments, and these seasons is that

 They are an invitation into creativity.

But there’s a catch.

To accept the invitation we often need to be able to practice opening. 

Finding ways to relax into uncertainty. What I see as a great superpower for our time. 

When we do, we find possibility. 

Today's recording comes from Day 3 of Unlocking Creativity, our most recent 5-day guided meditation challenge for living well and realizing your unique creative potential.

In this practice you will be exposed to two eye opening insights from Courageous Life conversations with Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, and yesterday's guest: leading meditation teacher Kaira Jewel Lingo. Together they will offer inspiration, and ideas for facing the unknown with greater joy, passion, and possibility.
