Hello and I'm back to the Practicing Human Podcast, the podcast where every day we are getting a little better at life.

I'm your host, Corey Muscarra, and I'm back on Long Island. Well for about 12 hours then I'm off to

Philadelphia but it's nice to be home for just a bit. In today's episode, I'm going to talk about why the capacity to check in, feel, and stay present

to the different layers of your experience without immediately trying to make them different is the

foundation for self-care healing and deep fulfillment. More to come on that. First,

let's settle in with the sound of the episode is actually an idea,

not a direct quote, but close to a direct quote from my book, Stop Missing Your Life. I posted it on social media yesterday and wanted

to expound upon it here. So I'll share it with you again and then break down the different layers of it.

The quote is,

The capacity to check in feel and stay present to the different layers of your experience without

immediately trying to make them different is the foundation for self-care healing and deep fulfillment.

The foundation for self-care healing and deep fulfillment.

Let's take a look at that.

So first, this capacity to check in, to feel, to stay present to the different layers of our experience without immediately trying to make them different. Notice what you feel in relationship to that.

Does that resonate on some level?

Do you feel connected to that ability to be able to check in, to feel, to stay present to the different layers of your experience,

without trying to change it, without judging it or making it wrong, but simply holding space and making contact

with this dimension of yourself.

Now maybe you feel like you have that capacity to an extent and I think all of us do to an extent to check in to say you know how's it going

Cori what am I feeling right now?

We can stay present to it a little bit.

But I also think we all have a threshold with that.
