The challenges in our culture, we tend to avoid grief. We tend to avoid feelings like that. We tend to avoid that because we're afraid it will last forever. We're afraid it will never end. But the thing I would just want people to know is all feelings are temporary. No feeling lasts forever. All feelings that we feel fully with awareness will begin to dissolve.

And grief happens in stages and in layers. And if we can feel the grief, then we can let those layers go. And I think one of the key things is around grieving. If you're able to take that label off of the grief or any feeling, take the label off, don't even call it grief, and just experience the sensation of that feeling in your body. This is like how to grieve or how to feel.

If you really be with the sensation of the grief in your body and allow yourself to just be with that without getting rid of it, without forcing it away, without suppressing it, without judging it, and you be with it fully as a sensation, because many times we think that we're feeling a feeling, but we're thinking about the feeling.

So the feeling never dissolves because we're busy thinking and analyzing. But when we can feel the sensation, then the cycle of energy of that sensation of feeling begins to dissolve. And that's how we begin as we're with it. Like, wow. Then we let go. So anyway, those are some thoughts.

We've all heard of that. Condo, Merrily Condo, Condo Everything. Then I was like, okay, The Salt and Lard of Not Giving a F, right? Oh, that book. And so I was checking out all these books and I thought, oh, wow. Let me come up with something really clever. And I was strategizing with my mind and my brain and, you know, brought my editor in.

Books I thought would sell, books I thought would be best, books I thought my audience would want, books I thought that would grab people's attention and be bestsellers. And to be honest, when I looked at the list on this whiteboard, none of them felt authentic.
