Peace Talk Episode 219: How believing "I have to be productive" makes us heavy

Peace Talk: The Work of Byron Katie with Grace - Podcast tekijän mukaan Grace Bell

When we believe we have to be productive, we envision our projects, work, tasks, time as needing to be filled in order to be successful.  The thing is, having this thought can produce a lot of anxiety, and then rebellion and sometimes the opposite of being "productive". We eat, watch, do all kinds of things, and keep moving. It's stressful.  But what about doing nothing at all? Can we allow ourselves the pleasure of simply being, like we may have done when we were kids?

She has a special love and specific programs for those suffering from eating issues including disordered eating (disordered thinking) of all kinds--having suffered from this behavior and thought/feeling process herself and finding an unshakable peace within around eating, food, health and behaviors with eating.  As Byron Katie offers us (founder of The Work); when we believe what we think, it creates unnecessary suffering. When we question what we think, we feel lighter and less serious about what is. We even begin to laugh. We notice who we really are is peaceful already, a human being living life as best we can--learning, growing, loving.  To receive notice of Eating Peace programs, videos and vlog posts, visit www.workwithgrace.com/eating-peace and join the mailing list.
