Struggling with When Things End


Listen Later

In this week’s Episode we jam on a daily practice we can do to decrease unnecessary suffering - which is what this podcast is all about! It’s completely natural that things end - relationships, careers, objects we adore, and more. Yet we have so much resistance when things do come to an end, often feeling like it wasn’t supposed to happen. We’ll talk about the concept of “little deaths” that we experience in everyday life, plus the difference between when an ending is more easily accepted vs when we have more resistance. 

We also dive into how our modern industrialized consumerist society encourages resistance to endings, and how to counter that. Plus I’ll tell you the one thing we should spend more time thinking about to help accept the little endings for a life of more freedom.

You will learn:

// How our modern industrialized consumerist society feeds into our resistance to endings

// How treating “little deaths” / endings with more respect and sacredness can lead to less unnecessary suffering and more joy + freedom

// Why we feel the need to control our endings and how to let go of that feeling

// The one thing we should spend more time thinking about to help accept the little endings (hint: it’s not what you’d think!)

Resources:

// Episode 9: Impermanence, Death, and Other Sexy Things

// Episode 77: Change is Inevitable

// Episode 110: The Miracle of Being Alive

// Check out this free training on What Really Matters

// You can see how the power of accepting the ending of things is a deep practice - one that opens us to so much more joy and freedom and peace. True inner liberation. If you want to dive more deeply into this practice and all the juicy goodness for a life of inner and outer freedom that it offers, some join me in my NEWEST program, called No Regrets.
