How many times have we told ourselves…
“Once I get this sorted… then I’ll relax.”
“Once this situation is handled… then I’ll feel better.”
“Once I fix this one last thing… then everything will be okay.”
In this episode of We All Matter with Lisa, I explore something many of us live inside of without even realizing it — the ego’s quiet promise that peace will come later.
Drawing inspiration from A New Earth, I share personal reflections about how the mind keeps us chasing a future moment where we finally feel enough, calm, or safe.
For me, codependency deepened that pattern. I often believed that if I could just solve the next problem or make sure everyone else was okay, then I would finally be able to relax.
But the mind always creates one more thing.
In this episode we explore:
• Why the ego keeps us living in the future
• How thoughts about the past and future affect the body right now
• The realization that peace doesn’t arrive later — it’s only ever available in this moment
• A simple practice to step out of the mind and into awareness
• A short relaxation meditation
• Three True Stones to carry with you during the week
If you’ve ever felt like life will calm down once you get through the next thing, this conversation may resonate deeply with you.
Because the peace the mind promises in the future…
is already here.
