Listen "17. The Power of Relaxation, Sitting, and Embracing Laziness"
Episode Synopsis
This week on Holding It Lightly, Lauren and Brad explore the vital case for embracing laziness, relaxation, and the simple act of sitting. Life demands a balance between planning, setting goals, and taking ownership of our experiences. Yet, the most profound moments often arise when we sit peacefully, free from the need to grasp for more.
In our culture of constant ascension, where the pursuit of more power, money, and value dominates, we lose sight of the essential art of relaxation. Join Lauren Douglass and Brad Stuart as they discuss why our society struggles with teaching us to relax and how shifting our focus from relentless productivity to moments of stillness can lead to a more fulfilling life. Discover why learning to sit and unwind is not just a luxury but the essential work of living well.
