Restlessness: Stop Stirring The Water

Restlessness, inability to be still and content in the present moment, isn't a problem to solve but a misunderstanding to see through. In this talk, I share how a moment of clarity in a Myanmar café changed everything I thought I knew about finding peace.

Discover why that constant need to read, do, and improve might be the very thing preventing the contentment we seek. Through the simple metaphor of muddy water settling, learn why peace isn't something we need to add to our lives, but something we need to stop covering up.

If you've ever felt like you're always running toward some finish line that never arrives, this talk offers a different way of seeing and being.

I have been searching for an answer about restlessness—the irony! But, you just helped me see an answer. “Stop stirring and be still.” That cup of murky water will definitely stick in my mind for a while. Very wise words. Thank you!

This was very helpful. It must have been the very words I needed to hear today. Thank you.

Very informative talk, thank you! I needed to hear this because I have a tendency to get too anxious with ruminating thoughts. It lowers my self-esteem and makes it really hard to have a positive outlook on life.
