WiseGirl: Impermanence Part 2, with Francesca MAxime

In today's WiseGirl video chat, Brooklyn-based journalist, poet, and author Francesca Maxime continues her talk about impermanence and how self-compassion and relaxing in the present moment helps us handle the vagaries of the ups and downs of life. She invites us to listen to our bodies and sensations that arise that can create certain emotions we may judge as "bad" or "good," and instead of acting/reacting right away, to give ourselves 60-90 seconds to just follow our breathing, with awareness, and then see if we still want to respond the way we might have originally, or if we created enough space to respond with a more grounded and balanced sense of ourselves and the whole situation, whatever it may be.
