How to Stop Making Hard Things Harder | Noah Rasheta

Noah Rasheta joins Eric to explore the Buddhist teaching that while pain is inevitable, much of our suffering is optional and self-created. The conversation examines the classic parable of the two arrows — the first being the unavoidable pain life delivers, the second being the additional suffering we layer on through our own reactions. Noah shares practical strategies for interrupting habitual thought loops, when to simply let a difficult feeling run its course without interference, and how using random phone alarms throughout the day can serve as prompts to notice what we've been overlooking.
