Learning to focus on what matters most

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the daily demands of family, work and life itself — when doing too much feels like it’s never enough. We are often our own worst enemy, taunted by the tyranny of perfectionism, a narrative that doesn’t serve us, and a harsh internal critic who says we’ll never measure up.

Psychologist Diana Hill writes in her new book, Wise Effort, that “it’s hard to be a human” — and it’s hard to argue with that statement! The book is based on what she’s learned from the spirituality of Buddhism, the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), neuroscience, and her own struggles with an eating disorder.

She joins us this week to discuss how to revitalize our relationship with ourselves and focus on what really matters.
