Earlier this week, we shared part one of this all-star conversation, all about how to relax your mind. Now, I’m not talking about numbing out or escaping from the stress and overwhelm but actually getting to a state of peace about where things are at, personally and professionally for you. Is it possible?
Now, if you haven’t heard part one, go back and listen to that one first. But if you’re ready to continue on, let’s pick back up here with my conversation with Peter Russell as he simplifies how to relax your mind.
It’s time to simplify…Here’s how.
Contents
My special guest today is Peter Russell and he’s simplifying how to relax your mind.
We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:
- For many “Type A control freaks,” it’s hard to let go… Peter shows us a better way, letting in and letting be
- In a culture that glorifies BUSY, how to return to a natural (relaxed) mind, yet still get things done
- What the parable of the rope is and how it applies to our minds
- If we release our thoughts, feelings, interpretations, beliefs and expectations, what’s left? What you could hold on to that creates a sense of identity and safety
- …and ultimately, how this practice of relaxing your mind helps to improve your relationships both personally and professionally.
Ok, let’s roll the tape back to September 2021 when this conversation originally aired and simplify how to relax your mind with author Peter Russell.
Q: Are you ready to relax your mind? If yes, this one is for you.
