Today, we explore how to practice self-compassion in difficult times, when life feels tough and overwhelming.

Sean Fargo, founder of Mindfulness Exercises and former Buddhist monk, shares his personal journey of navigating discomfort and emotional strain while hiking in Yosemite with a heavy backpack.

He uses the experience to illustrate how we can meet pain, frustration, and difficulty with kindness instead of judgment. He explores how mindfulness helps us stay present with unpleasant emotions and sensations, allowing us to care for ourselves in moments of struggle.

This episode is a gentle reminder that when life feels hard, we can offer ourselves the same care we’d give a loved one.
