Actionable Insights
1. Practice Loving Kindness Meditation
Engage in loving kindness practice, including ‘protracted, high dose periods’ like retreats and integrating it prominently into daily practice, to systematically change your default mode towards warmth and experience profound psychological, physiological, and behavioral impacts.
2. Set Compassionate Boundaries
Practice discernment and set clear boundaries, as having compassion, empathy, and love for yourself means you sometimes need to draw a line and not tolerate the intolerable, rather than becoming a doormat.
3. Adopt a Growth Mindset
Adopt a growth mindset, recognizing that change is possible and you can slowly, systematically, and even messily alter your default mode, rather than feeling bad about your current conditioning.
