Even though money is a big issue, I know people who have been making some money and continue to face two beasts of another sort: overwhelm and push.
Earlier this week I talked about the surprising power that comes from Finding Ease: Better Than Your Third Cup of Coffee.
It’s time to take it deeper. Yollana Shore, another star practitioner of ours, knows about stress and overwhelm. And, as a healer with ten years of working with individuals and groups under her belt, she also knows about how to transform that stress and overwhelm into ease and flow.
Whether or not you have a holiday coming up, as we are in the United States, this interview will help make your weekend much more ease-full. The interview I did with Yollana has a transmission in it, as well as some powerful insights. As I’ve said before, I’ve received some very powerful healing from Yollana, and hope you receive the healing she’s offering here.
It may seem a little woo-woo, yet the truth is that this is one of the most practical teachings we have, because it’s about how you get things done. That insufferably long list of to-do’s? Yeah, that. Getting that done.
Without push. Without overwhelm. Ease. Ease. Ease.
Please give yourself the 31 minutes and watch:

thanks for such a wonderfull idea..
push and overwhelm are the two beast that we always came accross..
i will definitely go for an interview with Yollana Shore to make it easy
Mark, I so appreciate your asking about the difference between kindness and letting yourself off the hook. And Yollana, I so appreciate your answer! Distinguishing between the two has been a struggle for me, and in the past I have dismissed kindness for fear that it was simply an effort to let myself off the hook. Over the past year, I have learned that I need to incorporate self-care into my life. When I make the time for self-care, when I listen to my heart, I gradually and more easily transition from a place of fear to a place of happy action and ease. But if I allow my fears to dictate my actions, everything is a struggle and nothing flows. Kindness is giving myself permission to listen to my heart. Letting myself off the hook doesn’t offer that same feeling. Instead, it raises feelings of guilt that I then try to suppress. And the energy required to suppress feelings is extraordinary. It pushes out anything else. But kindness is energizing. And I love the notion of kindness as a practice, especially around the pieces of our business that are a bit more difficult. This year, I’m going to practice kindness and bring love and presence to my taxes. Thank you both for letting us listen in on your conversation.
great ideas are always welcome, I am waiting with interest. I’m from Brazil, I can expand here.
I’m hitting the wall recognizing that my expectation of how quickly business building can happen for me needs adjustment – to find space and room for it to take longer to come into form than what my mind’s eye would have hoped for. That’s one place where kindness can become fruitful for me, like opening a draw string bag so that the flow can move through the bag, filling it slowly, that I can take on one piece at a time, even as I hold the vision of what CAN be. I realize how easily I slide back into doubting, which is so destructive to creation! And that there is choice in that pattern – thankfully.
Debra- there is such a choice. How beautiful and kind to see it.
This was such an amazing interview.
As I’m rebuilding my business from the ground up, I’ve noticed how I’ve had to change the way I approach stress, anxiety, insecurity, fear…all those feelings that make me say “I don’t want to do this!”
As you and Yollana have suggested, it’s okay to admit when I’m feeling such things. It’s okay to vulnerable to myself, and in turn be kind to that vulnerability. It produces more beautiful results than the fearful avoidance of these feelings.
Thanks for sharing. This was very healing and on point.
