In today's episode I'm sharing something that started as a genuine annoyance — major nighttime construction outside my home, 9pm to 6am — and turned into one of my favorite spiritual practices. 

The ancient Buddhist practice of metta — lovingkindness — offers four simple phrases: may you be safe, may you be happy, may you be healthy, may you live with ease. 

Today's episode is about what happens when you turn your attention outward instead of staying inside your own frustration — and how sending love to strangers might be one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself. 

Question to carry into your day:
What is one situation in your life right now that is frustrating you — and what might shift if you sent love to the people involved instead of staying inside your own irritation?
