Equanimity is the ability to allow a sensory perception to play out without trying to change it. It’s an attentional skill you already have that gets stronger when you exercise it habitually.

Everyone is already mindful, but we could all use a little more practice.

Repeatedly redirecting your attention can be frustrating, but it doesn’t have to be.

Try focusing on what’s noticeably changing from moment to moment.

Asking different questions leads to different responses.

Being more curious about body sensations might pleasantly surprise you sometimes.

“When a difficult situation or memory arises, it is essential that you be able to self-soothe in order to respond skillfully.”

Phillip Moffitt

“Happiness is not a large enough word for the deeper satisfactions that human beings are searching for and will search for and have searched for through recorded time.”

David Whyte
