How To Stop Getting Dragged Around By Your Anxieties, Thought Loops, and Insecurities | Sebene Selassie

Plus: How to find practices that work for you, what "mindfulness" actually means, and a new audiobook out now. Sebene Selassie has been meditating for decades, survived cancer three times, and still says the practice isn't a magic bullet. That honesty is kind of the point. Today we're sharing a sneak preview of Dan's new audiobook, Even You Can Meditate, co-authored with Sebene. Think of it as a practical rescue plan for anyone who feels too distracted, overwhelmed, or skeptical to start (or restart) a meditation practice. In this preview, Dan and Seb cover: •

Why "mindfulness" is actually a bit of a misnomer — and what the practice is really about • •

What meditation can and can't do for you (it won't solve everything, but the benefits tend to kick in faster than you'd expect) • •

How to find the style that works for your specific brain, body, and life — including if sitting still feels impossible • •

The role of intention, and why getting clear on your "why" can become a surprisingly powerful engine for keeping a practice going • •

The five hindrances — the predictable challenges that come up for almost every meditator — and how to work with them instead of against them • Even You Can Meditate is out now on Audible.
