THE FYX 087: Using Vulnerability, Emotions and Rest to Achieve Your Goals in The New Year
This is not your typical "New Year, New You," "Do More," "Be More, "Achieve More," podcast episode just in time for a new calendar year. Instead, with the help of our guest, Lihi Benisty, we invite you, The FYX listeners, to bring space into your life: we invite you to breathe, rest, and literally just be. Lihi is a yoga and meditation instructor, and founding instructor of Open: Open is a mindfulness studio--both in-person in LA, and online through the App Store and Google Play. When you join Open, you enter a place to come to your senses — meditation, music, breathwork, and movement awaken body and mind to bring you to the present moment.
All you need to know about Lihi can be accurately summed up by her Instagram bio, which reads, 'feeler of feelings.' In this episode, we explore the power of emotions, of vulnerability, and how our own mental health challenges have shaped the way we show up in the world--as instructors, as coworkers, as friends, family members--in every role we play in life.
Trigger Warning: We do discuss Lihi's personal experience of assault.
We also discuss:
- How we can grow by intentionally learning to rest
- The benefit, and the struggle, to learning how to fill our rest with SPACE
- The idea that we don't always have to be DOING, that we can just BE
- Letting go of perfectionism, bringing emotion into every day life as we feel and as different emotions arise
- Dropping the armor of strength and being okay with not being okay
- Lihi's upbringing in a Buddhist school in California
- How Lihi began her yoga practice
- What makes Open different from most meditation apps, namely the role music plays on the platform (it's impressive)
