Twenty Years of "Now What?": A Conversation with Hersha Chellaram
Integral Yoga Podcasts • 04-Feb-2021
Hersha Chellaram talks about finding meaning in life, how to know the right outlet for our energy, and the importance of accepting our capacity. Quotes from the Interview: * "[The pursuit of excellence] requires some balancing: I think it's really important to still pursue excellence, but then be very real with yourself as to what your capability and capacity is." * "Being able to witness your mind while you go through social media's very very important, to see what emotions come up for you, and if it really affects you that much where you've lost your balance, sometimes it's good to disconnect." * "Kids can't sometimes recognize the emotions that they're feeling and the actions that come out as a result, but they naturally look for soothing behaviors and activities." * "You don't have to have a purpose - you don't need to say "Oh, what is my purpose in life? What am I supposed to be doing?" - no, you just need a general idea of 'Where would I like to head? What would I like to move forward with?', and take one step in that direction."
