Politics & Mindfulness

A Guide to Finding Common Ground amidst all the turbulence

Hey there, fellow citizen!

Are you tired of the divisive political climate that seems to be tearing our nation apart? Well, fear not, Men Talking Mindfulness dedicated an entire episode about being Mindfully Political.

As founding father Thomas Jefferson once said,
"Informed citizenry is at the heart of a dynamic democracy."

John and Will dive deep into the power of mindfulness in politics and work to help you navigate the turbulent waters of politics and understand that we can ALWAYS find common ground.

One key takeaway from the episode is the importance of active listening. As previous guest, Ryan Shattuck, emphasized, "Listening so deeply that you disappear." By practicing high-quality listening and being genuinely curious about others' perspectives, we can bridge the gap and foster meaningful conversations.

Keep in mind, it's not about who's right or wrong, but about finding common ground, through our common humanity and then working towards a win-win solution.

So, the next time you find yourself in a political discussion, try to approach it with an open mind, listen first, and practice patience and empathy.

By embracing active listening and compassion, we can create a more harmonious and understanding political landscape.
