    Don’t Hit Send: The Monk Trick That Protects Your Peace

    If you’ve ever typed a message you later regretted — or felt pulled into an online argument you didn’t ask for — this episode will feel like a deep breath for your nervous system. In this episode of Sufferless with a Part-Time Monk, Tim Tamashiro breaks down the real reason we react so quickly on social media, in texts, and in everyday conversations. You’ll learn how the brain gets hijacked by digital and real life triggers, why your first reaction often isn’t your truest one, and how a simple monk-inspired practice can help you respond with clarity instead of impulse. Tim introduces the Triple Filter - a timeless, three-question tool used for centuries to separate wisdom from reactivity: Is it true?Is it kind?Is it necessary?This ancient filter works like a mental water purifier, clearing out the emotional sediment stirred up by stress, ego, and algorithms. You’ll hear a relatable story, experience the moment of “the shift,” and walk away with a simple 24-hour experiment that can instantly reduce stress, protect your peace, and change the way you communicate - online and off. If you want to stop reacting and start responding, this episode will show you how.
