In this episode, Adam and Dr. Kevin discuss: 

The truth about stressUsing meditation to reframe stress perceptionChoosing life actively

 

Key Takeaways:

Stress is not bad, it just means that you are feeling challenged at the moment. It is a matter of learning how to better frame and process stress, and sometimes even use it in our favor.The ability to reframe your attention, not control it, is one of the benefits of meditation that will help us to identify what we want to accomplish in our lives.Life is not over just because you have a chronic illness. Make your body more comfortable and engage in activities you enjoy, it doesn't have to be extreme as long as it will help you overcome your fear – it really starts with how we reframe our experiences in the world.

 

"We actually have to have bad in our life, to appreciate the good. It's the way the human psyche is wired. If we had all good all the time, we would soon feel dissatisfied with our lives." —  Dr. Kevin Payne
