Summary
What if your life was meant to feel good?
I don’t mean that in a “if you can dream it, you can do it!” kind of a way as much as I mean… what if your life—as it is—was meant to be pleasurable?
What if you could learn to slow down enough to see every single day, every breath, every new opportunity, every inconvenience, every hiccup, even every heartbreak as an absolutely gripping reminder that you get to be here and to experience this?
If you’re like me, it’s not always easy to get there.
But I think it’s worth a try, don’t you?
Come along with me on today’s episode where I discuss this very topic and invite you to practice with me: going slow and finding pleasure in everything.
The two books I mention are below:

A Rebellion of Care by David Gate (Link HERE)

| 0:34.0 | Hi, and welcome back to the Write Your Story podcast. |
| 0:36.6 | I'm Ali Fallon. |
| 0:37.4 | I'm your host. And on today's episode, I want to talk about a topic that I've been thinking about a lot lately. Full disclosure, I don't feel like I have a handle on this topic. I don't feel like I'm the expert to talk about this topic. But it's something I've been thinking about a lot because I've been practicing with this and playing |
| 0:54.4 | with this, not just in my brain and in the way I'm thinking about my life, but also in an embodied |
| 0:59.6 | way, I'm thinking about this in my yoga practice and really using my yoga practice as a metaphor |
| 1:04.3 | or an analogy for how to work through this issue in my life. And it feels like as I've been playing with this idea, |
| 1:15.2 | lots of different opportunities have come to me to practice with it. And so I want to just |
| 1:21.0 | introduce this concept to you. I want to unpack it here with you. And I want to offer what I'm |
| 1:26.6 | learning in hopes that maybe there might be |
| 1:28.5 | something here for you to learn as well. Before I dive in to that topic, though, I want to |
| 1:34.0 | share about a couple of books that I've been reading that I wholeheartedly recommend. |
