0:00.0	Hello everyone, this is a special episode of the One You Feed. We're doing one of those episodes
0:06.8	where we bring together a variety of voices around one topic. And the topic this week is really
0:13.2	resilient during challenging times. We did a couple of these special episodes back when
0:18.4	coronavirus first hit. And I'm doing another one now because there continue to be multiple
0:24.1	stressors in many of our lives, right? Here in the US we have an election that's coming up that
0:29.6	is causing a great deal of strife and unrest and anxiety. We've got ongoing coronavirus which is
0:37.2	getting worse here in the US and many European countries. I know we're entering into new rounds of
0:42.4	lockdowns. We've got forest fires here in the US and other parts of the world as climate change
0:47.9	continues to increase. And as I talk to people out there, there's just a sense of anxiety,
0:54.1	a sense of foreboding and a lot of stress. And so I wanted to just do another episode where we talk
0:59.7	about how to take care of ourselves and how to be resilient during challenging times. We were lucky
1:05.9	enough to bring back some great guests to the show. We've got Spring Wash them back who I think is
1:10.0	one of the people who speaks to the balance between activism and contemplation as well as anyone.
1:16.4	Ralph De La Rosa who is a psychotherapist and meditation teacher and also speaks to these topics
1:22.2	really well. Parker Palmer who's in his 80th year and has infinite wisdom to share with us and
1:28.4	Ellen Bass, the wonderful poet who I think always has great things to say about the state of the
1:33.7	world and the inner life. I really loved talking with all of these about resilience during challenging
1:39.7	times. And I hope you get as much out of it as I did in creating it. Thanks so much. And here is
1:46.1	the special episode. Welcome to the one you feed. Throughout time, great thinkers have recognized
1:59.9	the importance of the thoughts we have, quotes like garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you
2:05.8	think, ring true. And yet for many of us, our thoughts don't strengthen or empower us. We tend to
2:12.4	toward negativity, self-pity, jealousy, or fear. We see what we don't have instead of what we do.
