Weekend Check-in: When A Good Day Isn't Enough
Notas do episódio
Ever have a day where nothing went wrong, and you still go to bed feeling like it wasn’t enough? In this Weekend Check-In, Kit Mann looks at the dissatisfaction that can follow a perfectly good day, and at the expectations that make ordinary life feel small.
Kit walks back through one ordinary day: good coffee, fine work, a laugh at dinner. He shows how the rulers we carry can shrink it before it’s over. One is where we thought we’d be by now. Another is other people’s highlights. A third is how a day is “supposed” to feel. Drawing on Chapter 44 of the Tao Te Ching, “When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you,” and the Taoist idea of pu, the uncarved block, he explains why the plain days that make up most of a life are enough on their own.
You’ll also get a simple practice for this weekend to help you notice the good in an ordinary day before it slips past.
Taoist philosophy for contentment, gratitude, comparison, and finding meaning in everyday life.
