Hello, and welcome back to Practicing Human, the podcast where every day we're getting a little better at life.

I'm your host, Corey Miscarra, and in today's episode, we're going to talk about assessing if something is worth your peace.

More to come on that in a moment.

First, let's settle in together with the sound of the bells.

Okay, so if you've been a listener of this podcast or have followed my teachings over the years, you know I'm not all about rainbows and unicorns.

And let's just be totally zoned out all day long, always peaceful.

This is the way to be.

No, that's not my M.O.

I think the full range of the human experience is important.

And a lot of times we need to use things like stress or anger to inform purposeful decisions.

And with all of that said, there are also those moments when we tend to overreact, and it's worth us asking

is this worth my peace?

Is the thing I'm getting upset about, the thing I'm trying to change, the thing I'm getting angry about with this person

and trying to make them do what I want is all of that worth my peace.

I'll give you an example that prompted this episode.

I was playing golf today, and if you weren't aware, golf was once a very big part of my life, played competitively.

I love golf, and these days it's mostly recreational for me.

And I enjoy sometimes playing alone and playing with friends.

And I'm pretty go with the flow and amount of the golf course, just loving being out there, going for a walk, playing the game, the sport, enjoying the fresh air.

But there is one thing that tends to get on my nerves, and any fellow golfers will probably resonate with this.

And that is slow play.

I get really frustrated when the group in front of me is going slowly and getting in the way of my round and the pace that I want to play at.
