We Were Burned Out So My Family Went to Plum Village Monastery. This Is What We Learned with Dr. Diana Hill Aug 29, 2022

Show notes

Instead of a cross-country road trip, this summer we took our kids to Plum Village, a Buddhist monastery in southwest France founded by Thich Nhat Hanh, a Zen Master. Faced with pandemic stress, we were on screens too much, taxed by relentless to-dos, and felt increasingly dissatisfied. Teetering on parental burn-out, we were craving peace, time away from devices, and strategies to handle increasingly uncertain times. It’s a stretch to sign up 9-year-old and 12-year-old boys for a week of mindful walking, silent meals, and sitting meditation. We were willing to take the leap if it could reconnect us and help us find our grounding as a family again. In this episode, I share with you 6 lessons and related practices helping us to restore our homeostasis and how you can try them at home.

ACT for Body Image Flexibility with Dr. Diana Hill Jul 03, 2022

Show notes

If you don’t feel positive about your body image, it’s not your fault. You have a brain designed to seek out flaws, a learning history that may have punished or praised certain body features, and a culture built around unrealistic body expectations. In this episode of Your Life in Process, Diana discusses the concept of body image flexibility, a newer psychological term, that describes your ability to be present with and accept uncomfortable feelings and thoughts about your body, while creating a life that matters to you.
