How to Widen Your Capacity to Meet Life
About this episode
This episode discusses how to widen your capacity to handle life's challenges without feeling overwhelmed.
Capacity is how much you can stay with (feeling, sensation, life) without getting overwhelmed or shutting down. In today's episode we cover what capacity is, how we can widen it and why it may be small. You might find this useful if: You tend to flood easily or go numb and flat when things get hard You brace against the good stuff too like joy, love, being seen You're in a caregiving role, holding a lot for other people You've tried to push through hard feelings and it hasn't worked You want to feel more without being swept away by it -------------------------------------------------------- If this conversation resonated with you, subscribe to Expanding Inward wherever you listen to podcasts.
