In this episode, Noah Rasheta explores how to stop making hard things harder as they discuss the Buddhist parable of the two arrows: the first is the pain life brings, and the second is the suffering we can add through our reactions. He also talks about when it helps to interrupt a familiar thought loop, when to let a feeling run its course, and why he sets alarms at random times to notice what he’s been overlooking. You’ll come away with a simple way to pause in the middle of a hard moment and ask what might help.
