This week, Barb and Michelle share how an unfortunate accident led to Barb being forced to slow down physically and mentally. This incident reminded Barb of the importance of being intentional and mindful in thought and action. It can feel impossible to consider moving at a slower pace, the thoughts in the mind are always racing, and the responsibilities are endless. In this episode, they discuss the key to being present in a fast-paced world and how to mindfully interrupt our constant stream of thoughts.
In this episode, Barb and Michelle discuss:
Cultivating acceptance rather than seeking to escape reality Getting out of the rabbit-hole of worrying and fearful thoughts and storytellingViewing the mind as our greatest companion in life, helping us to become our own best friendQuotes mentioned in this episode:
âOur mind, with its incessant stream of thoughts, memories, opinions, hopes, and fears is our constant companion from which we cannot escape even in our dreams, so it makes sense to cultivate a worthy travel companion for our journey.â - Jetsunma Tenzin PalmoâMay I meet this moment fully, may I meet it as a friend.â - Sylvia BoorsteinThe moments of our daily life may appear commonplace, but they carry enormous significance. When we look upon every moment as sacred, a new energy flows into our lives.â - Vinoba BhaveâI can tell my hand what to do and it obeys, why canât I do the same with my mind?â - Saint AugustineFollow us @MichelleMaros and @Peaceful_Barb and share your experiences with us @BarbKnowsBestPod or at Michellemaros.com/podcast.

This week, Barb and Michelle are talking about an emotion many of us avoid and express poorlyâanger. Barb shares her personal experience with avoiding anger throughout her life and her journey with moving through this difficult emotion. They share insights they learned from a somatic healer along with ways to express, acknowledge, and feel your anger.
In this episode, they talk about:
Acknowledging and feeling your anger is key to moving through itTransforming your anger into compassion, but still not bypassing those difficult emotionsHaving the courage to set a boundary and communicate in the difficult moment instead of holding onto anger, stress, or negative emotionsQuotes mentioned in this episode:
âWhere there is anger there is always pain underneath.â - Eckhart Tolle, The Power of NowâHope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are.â - St. AugustineâVulnerability is about sharing our feelings and our experiences with people who have earned the right to hear them. Being vulnerable and open is mutual and an integral part of the trust-building process. Because sharing appropriately, with boundaries, means sharing with people whom weâve developed relationships that can bear the weight of our story. The result of this mutually respectful vulnerability is increased connection, trust, and engagement." - Brene Brown, Daring GreatlyâItâs never too late to be what you might have been.â - George ElliotAlso mentioned in this episode:

I thought my heart would break.
I mean, the mechanical part.

About tomorrow, who knows anything.
Except that it will be time, again,
for the deepening and quieting of the spirit.â
