In Episode 7 of Here in the Now Podcast, host JG Larochette, goes into waiting as a state of mind. As educators we often get caught in cycles of wanting it to be the future. The next 3 day weekend, the next week off, the next Summer vacation. This often leads to strong emotions and mental and emotional health challenges. In this episode we learn how to navigate our thoughts, emotions, and the patterns that arise because of them, by being able to not be entangled in the "wishing it was" or "wanting it to be" but actually fully being present with compassion with being here in the now. The practices on this podcast are hugely beneficial in being able to cultivate skillful ways to improve our wellbeing! Enjoy!
