    Be Kind to Yourself

    There’s enough criticism in the world without targeting yourself. Jess Glynne’s 2015 song, “Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself” expresses this nicely. To offer feedback on my podcast, please write to: relaxingwithrob@gmail.com

    Distinguish Problems from Inconveniences

    You might be less anxious if you recalibrate your stress meter and consider some problems as simply “inconveniences.”   Here’s a non-affiliate link to Robert Fulghum’s book that inspired today’s topic. I also encourage you to support local booksellers and borrow from your public library.

    Turn Back the Clock

    Aging may be inevitable, but holding a negative stereotype about it is not. Research from Harvard psychologist Ellen J. Langer shows that we can actually turn the clock back in surprising ways through shifts in our expectations. Here’s a non-affiliate link to Langer’s book on mindful health.

    Worry Less about Others' Opinions

    It’s normal to worry about others’ opinions of you, but it’s not necessary. Two ways to break free from this are: 1) desensitize yourself by assuming that it’s always going to happen; and 2) recognize that their critiques are directed at your “social self,” not your “essential self.”  Here’s a non-affiliate Amazon link to Martha Beck’s book that I reference in the episode.

    Commencement Wisdom

    You don’t have to attend a graduation ceremony to benefit from commencement speakers.  Here’s a link to Anne Lamott’s 2003 address at the University of California, Berkeley that explores mindfulness and compassion with humor and insight. I believe that in 2020, her comments have become even more relevant.

    Simplify

    Simplifying our lives can reduce our stress. Here are three suggestions: Donate stuff.Let go of draining relationships.Act as if you already have more than enough.This is a non-affiliate link to Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s book, Gift from the Sea. And here’s a longer passage (pages 17-18) from the 50th anniversary edition: “I want first of all . . . to be at peace with myself. I want a singleness of eye, a purity of intention, a central core to my life that will enable me to carry out these obligations and activities as well as I can. I want, in fact—to borrow from the language of the saints—to live "in grace" as much of the time as possible. I am not using this term in a strictly theological sense. By grace I mean an inner harmony, essentially spiritual, which can be translated into outward harmony. I am seeking perhaps what Socrates asked for in the prayer from the Phaedrus when he said, "May the outward and inward man be at one." I would like to achieve a state of inner spiritual grace from which I could function and give as I was meant to in the eye of God.” —Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea
