Ep193: A Former Monk on Managing Overwhelm (and Following Your Intuition) | with Cory Muscara

<blockquote>“If you don’t have 1 minute to meditate, it’s time to evaluate what’s really going on.”</blockquote><blockquote>- Cory Muscara</blockquote><p><a href="http://corymuscara.com" rel="nofollow"><strong>Cory Muscara</strong></a> is a former monk, host of the Practicing Human podcast, and bestselling author of the book, Stop Missing Your Life. He has taught mindful leadership at Columbia University and is an instructor of Positive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Oz named Cory as one of the nation’s leading experts in mindfulness (and rightfully so) as Cory’s meditations have been heard more than 25 million times in over 150 countries.</p><p>If you’re stuck on the hamster wheel of dedicating your entire life to creative projects that inevitably lead to burnout while trying to chase a dream you are no longer even sure you want anymore, you might be surprised to learn how much cultivating mindfulness will help you build the intuition necessary to create (then follow) a path that makes more sense for you. As Cory will explain, mindfulness and meditation with the specific purpose of building your intuition (aka your “gut feelings”) is a crucial piece in the puzzle of designing your unique path, as well as more clearly understanding which opportunities to say ‘yes’ and ‘no’ to along the way.</p><p>Whether you have never meditated before, you dabble here and there, or you are on your way to being an ordained monk yourself, Cory’s simple methods of connecting to your own intuition and developing the inner strength it takes to follow that intuition will undoubtedly have a positive impact on both your career, the quality of your working relationships, and your life.</p><h3>Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One?</h3><p><a href="https://optimizeyourself.me/subscribe/" rel="nofollow"><strong>» Click here to subscribe and never miss another episode</strong></a></p><p> </p><h3><strong>Here&#39;s What You&#39;ll Learn:</strong></h3><ul><li>The story of how Cory became an ordained monk…in his early 20’s
