Mindful Monday - How To Navigate Rough Patches

About This Talk

Rough patches come with being human, and Chris says they are hard to avoid. He suggests meeting each one with curiosity and patience, for ourselves and the people around us, and asking what it has to teach. He asks listeners to see hard stretches as the place where their toolbox for life gets built.

Key Ideas

• When you hit a rough patch, ask why and be really curious about it, because every rough patch holds something to learn.
• Be patient with yourself and the people around you, and be willing to face whatever the hard time is there to teach.
• Rough patches deepen our knowledge, and the toolbox we use to navigate life is born out of making the most of them.
