Reducing Emotional Reactivity and Finding Inner Peace with Yung Pueblo

Why do we keep reacting in ways we don’t want to? Forrest sits down with the meditator and poet Yung Pueblo to talk about reactivity, letting go, and what it takes to slow down enough to choose something different. They get into why your first reaction usually isn’t the “real you,” how to stay present with someone else’s bad mood without getting pulled into it, and how to feel your feelings without becoming them.
