If you've ever found yourself immediately abandoning your adult composure the second someone around you gets upset, we've got your back.
In today's episode, the inimitable Jeff Warren returns with a practice to help you stop absorbing everyone else's stress and start holding healthy boundaries without turning into a jerk. Jeff — who is both a dear friend of Dan's and one of the funniest meditation teachers alive — walks you through how to stay grounded in your own body even when the people around you are melting down.
This meditation is especially helpful if you tend to:
-
Fix other people's problems without being asked
-
Rush to make everything okay the instant someone frowns
-
Get overwhelmed by other people's moods
-
Lose your boundaries around demanding or sensitive humans (including the tiny ones)
To get more meditations from Jeff and our other teachers — plus join our weekly live sessions (every Tuesday at 4pm ET) — you can sign up at DanHarris.com.
