There is a cultural shift happening in our midst. Despite the changes in engagements caused by the pandemic, we have also never been this connected by technology. Not only are we confronted by the COVID-19 pandemic, but movements also arise that call for people to take a stand and express their opinions. We can see different ideas and perspectives, which, most of the time, can create a divide among us despite being interconnected and having shared responsibility.
In today’s episode, Anne Alexander shares with us how to be mindful in these extraordinary times. She talks about how to engage and be compassionate with others who do not share the same perspective with us. Anne also discussed the advantages and disadvantages of cancel culture and its healthy boundaries.
If you want to practice mindfulness and foster more meaningful relationships, tune in to this episode.
“The reality is we’re living in a world with sharp edges and grit and difficulty and pain and passion, confusion, and all of that stuff. And the real trick is to be able to have that sense of equanimity and respect.”
“Now is the time to be able to come to a place to be able to keep our own energy levels high enough that we can listen and we can be there. We can mediate, and we can try to absorb things, even if we don't understand things.”
“Part of what is extraordinary, if you will, about mindfulness or being mindful is the ability also to see reality as it is.”
“Perhaps the first goal was just to find those moments of togetherness and to re-establish that beautiful fluid bond. The patience may take a long time to get to the place where that conversation can really happen.”
“The hard work is having hard conversations, and that takes a tremendous amount of commitment.”

“Instead of avoiding that fear or that self-judgment and just creating this sense of avoidance, I sit with it and understand what the root cause of that fear is.”
“Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.”

As a result, you will develop stress, depression, and unhealthy coping mechanisms.
