Calm through the Chaos with Donny Starkins

“Control what you can control”

Surrendering to fear and finding a sense of calm throughout the midst of the unknown can be extremely uncomfortable and can have us reverting back to old patterns and unfulfilling habits. Now more than ever, it’s time to take mindfulness to the next level. Not just using the terms and saying we’re doing it but really EMBODYING the state of being and getting to the bottom of our feelings. 

In this [unplanned] episode I sit down again with Donny Starkins to talk fear - being afraid of what we can’t control, nervousness, anxiousness, and insecurities that arise for many during times of unknown (aka a global pandemic). 

Donny is a source of inspiration and light in a world that can, at times, feel so dark. 

In this episode we cover:

• Feeling afraid and being okay
• Tuning into our feelings
• Letting go of what we can’t control (past + future)
• Taking time to heal your body
• Protecting our own energy
• Practicing surrender
• Picking up new hobbies (did someone say TikTok and ukelele?!)
• And so much more!

Although we can’t predict the future, we will one day be able to ask ourselves, How did I handle myself? What did I do with my time? Where was my focus?

Now more than ever is our time to take the time and love on ourselves and our communities through new and creative ways that will ultimately help each of us find calm through the chaos.
