Being with Busyness Q&A (Part Two) | TWOII podcast | Episode 78

This special episode – part two of two Q&A installments – marks the launch of the first book by Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino. Being with Busyness: Zen Ways to Transform Overwhelm and Burnout is intended to help readers navigate these experiences, relieve stress, and reconnect to their inner joy through mindfulness and compassion practices inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh. Instead of discussing the book, the two presenters asked listeners to submit their questions on these timely topics. Listeners' generous, vulnerable questions answered in this episode include: What are some practical tips for staying grounded and mindful amidst the busyness? How can I get back into practicing mindfulness? How can I practice mindfulness while doing multiple things at once? How can I be of service to others while still caring for myself? How can busy people know when it’s enough and draw a line? How does Plum Village deal with the burnout issues that also exist in the outside world? ----- Timestamps: 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:52 Reception of the book ‘Being with Busyness’ 00:02:39 Practical tips on how to stay grounded and mindful amidst the busyness 00:23:05 Perfection in mindfulness 00:41:18 How can I be of service to others while still caring for myself? 1:00:35 ‘Managing’ the problems of the world 1:04:34 Setting up a ‘breathing corner’ in your home 1:07:25 How can busy people know when it’s enough and draw a line? 1:24:57 How does Plum Village deal with the burnout issues that also exist in the outside world? 1:42:24 Outro ----- 🎧 Listen to previous episodes on YouTube ➛ http://pvapp.to/twoii-episodes ------ 🔔 The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living is a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh’s deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. 🔔 ------ The podcast is co-produced by the Plum Village App: https://plumvillage.app/ And Global Optimism: https://globaloptimism.com/ With support from the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation: https://thichnhathanhfoundation.org/ ------ 🎧 Listen to the podcast on the (completely free) Plum Village App ➛ https://link.plumvillage.app/Wgx5 and other streaming services. ------ Resources: Plum Village Community ➛ https://plumvillage.org/ 🎙️ Brother Phap Huu ➛ https://plumvillage.org/people/dharma... 🎙️ Jo Confino ➛   / joconfino   Being with Busyness ➛ https://www.parallax.org/product/bein...
