BITESIZE | A Monk’s Guide To Finding Happiness & Thriving in Hard Times | Gelong Thubten #678

Today's bite-size episode is sponsored by The Way, the only meditation app with a single long-term pathway. Now, if you've tried other meditation apps before, I am certain that The Way will be the one that will finally help you develop a consistent practice. You see, one of the best things about it is that you are not going to get overwhelmed with different options. You simply open the app and do the next meditation, building up your practice step by step. After a few sessions, you will feel as if you've got your own personal meditation teacher, who, of course, is the wonderful Henry Schuckman who has appeared as a guest on this podcast on two separate occasions.

Now, I personally have been using this app for over six months now and I absolutely love it. In fact, I love it so much that I have invested in the company to join them in their mission to get more people meditating. For listeners of my podcast, The Way is offering 30 free days to establish your own meditation practice. All you have to do is go to thewayapp.com forward slash live more to get started. Welcome to Feel Better, Live More Bite-size, your weekly dose of inspiration, insights, and practical ideas to help you live well and thrive.

Each episode brings you some of my favorite moments, useful tools, and inspiring ideas. from the many incredible conversations I've had on my podcast. Today's bite size is from episode 387 of the podcast with Geelong Tupton, Buddhist monk, meditation teacher and author of the fantastic book, A Handbook for Hard Times, A monk's guide to fearless living. Tupton explains that when we distract ourselves with low-grade addictions, we're pushing away emotional pain or discomfort.
