I’m Going To Be Too Sick To Enjoy My Vacation + Are You Focusing Too Much On Technique When Doing The Work?

I’m Going To Be Too Sick To Enjoy My Vacation

In this episode of the Wiggle Room Podcast, a participant in one of my Open Sessions shares his stressful thoughts about an upcoming cruise across the Pacific Ocean after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He worries that he could have a pancreatic attack on the ocean. Listen as he finds a balance to his story by doing The Work of Byron Katie.

Open Session Recording

The dialogue in the first half of this episode is taken from one of my weekly Open Sessions. You can be a participant in Open Sessions each week to do The Work with me or ask your questions.

Listen as this participant does The Work on the thought, “I’m going to be too sick to enjoy my vacation.” This is an unedited recording so you can experience how I do The Work in real life with any stressful thought that comes up.

Newsletter Text

In the second half of the recording, I read my article, “Are You Focusing Too Much on Technique When Doing The Work?” During the reading, I add new things that come to mind in addition to the text I wrote. 

I also encourage you to subscribe to my newsletter to get new articles like this one each week.
