The way to get unstuck:

"THE BASIC APPROACH to understanding the mind is a process of gradually making friends with oneself. That is the first step." - Chögyam Trungpa #Buddhism

Loved host, Elamin Abdelmahmoud, naming @craigsilverman.bsky.social as the "Richard Attenborough of Misinformation" ie more than a decade of narrating the evolution of misinformation being spread in media. #misinformation #healthcareforreal

Found this in the bag with my kid's old clothing.

“It is not suffering that ceases, but rather the one who suffers.” - Ayya Khema

“Do not be afraid of your difficulties. Do not wish you could be in other circumstances than you are. For when you have made the best of an adversity, it becomes the stepping stone to a splendid opportunity.” ― Helena Blavatsky You can call it #GrowthMindset , but it goes deeper than that...

“It seems reasonable that #knowledge is more analytical and lends itself more easily to conceptualization while #wisdom may be more intuitive.” ― Eviatar Shulman

How to juggle everything when you are in the jungle? - Boiling/filtering water= 2 hours - Prep for homeschooling/teaching high schooler=2 hours - Cooking on open fire/washing dishes/pots x 3/day = 5 hours No #productivity hacks seems to be working here.

Lessons from #Buddhism: Don’t run away from discomfort. Stay with it, even if just for a moment. Gradually, increase the time you spend sitting with that discomfort. “Each time you stay present with fear and uncertainty, you’re letting go of a habitual way of finding security and comfort.”

"Follow your bliss. If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living.

Question for authors: How and where do you share information about your books? What works best? I almost have no resources here (almost in the jungle, for real). @drjessigold.bsky.social @casinoshiftmd.bsky.social

What?? Patients too sick to stand in a snowstorm for hours won’t get a family doctor? In the coming election, feet should be held to the Canada Health Act fire. The feds are legally responsible for access and must target spending instead of shrugging and counting on our helplessness. #CanadaSky

How is everyone doing? Started new year with release of the first #book in the series of 'A Year of Transformation" a.co/d/2GdgrTg

This should surprise nobody. Break it so you can privatize it is the oldest trick in the book. And break it they did.

Well that’s fascinating. A new variable enters the climate conversation.

You’re talking about is early intervention. It’s well documented that early intervention has far better outcomes, not just addiction, but for help across the board. The cost to prepare cost far less than the cost to repair.

“The cross solved our problem by first revealing our real problem, our universal pattern of scapegoating and sacrificing others. The cross exposes forever the scene of our crime.” ― Richard Rohr

If you are lucky to have access to vaccines:

Neglect, it is. WHO finds that the direct cause of "the mystery disease" in Congo is malaria, exacerbated by malnutrition. Malaria can be *cured* by a few cheap pills, as long as it's caught early. So these are deaths of neglect. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

“The essence of warriorship, or the essence of human bravery, is refusing to give up on anyone or anything.” ― Chogyam Trungpa

“Something magical has happened to me: like a dream when one feels frightened and creepy, and suddenly wakes up to the knowledge that no such terrors exist. I have wakened up.” ― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

When we try to fix things Without understanding them first, We end up having more things to fix...

“The reality is that people are dying from COVID in our hospitals, and we really are doing very little to prevent them getting ill and getting infected. And we wouldn't do the same for any other infectious disease,” Vipond said. www.stalbertgazette.com/local-news/o...

“When you become conscious, the first thing you discover is why you stayed unconscious all those years. Being conscious means you really have to feel what you feel, which is frequently very vulnerable and raw.” - Pema Chodron
