The Work 101

Wiggle Room Podcast

Dealing with Stress and Emotions through The Work of Byron Katie

In this weekly podcast, we start with stress and look for ways to turn it around using The Work of Byron Katie. By questioning stressful thoughts, it is often possible to find new ways of seeing a stressful situation. And this new perspective can change the experience completely.

This is what I mean by “wiggle room,” just a little change of view is all I need to experience freedom. Changing the situation itself is nice, but it is not required for my happiness.

Each episode includes the recording from the week’s Open Session as well as my reading of the week’s newsletter article about The Work.
