Ten practical lessons you can glean from Pema Chödrön's audiobook "How We Live Is How We Die": 1. Embrace Endings as Beginnings: Life is a constant flow of endings and beginnings. Learn to see endings, big or small, as opportunities for new possibilities. 2. Make Friends with Uncertainty: Uncertainty is inevitable. Instead of fearing it, accept it and use it as a chance to develop your courage and adaptability. 3. Work with Difficult Emotions: Difficult emotions are messengers. Learn to acknowledge them without judgment and use practices like meditation to navigate them skillfully. 4. Practice Everyday Mindfulness: Be present in the moment. Pay attention to your breath, bodily sensations, and thoughts without getting caught up in them. 5. Develop Compassion for Yourself and Others: Kindness and understanding, directed both inward and outward, are key to a happier life. 6. See the "Bardos" in Daily Life: Bardo, a Tibetan concept for the transitional state between life and death, can be applied to any period of change or uncertainty. Learn to navigate these bardos with awareness and openness. 7. Let Go of Attachment: Clinging to things, people, or desires creates suffering. Practice letting go and cultivate a sense of contentment with what is. 8. Develop a Beginner's Mind: Approach life with curiosity and a willingness to learn. See things afresh, even familiar experiences. 9. Find Joy in the Simple Things: Appreciate the little moments of beauty and joy that surround you every day. 10. Face Death with Openness: Death is a natural part of life. Instead of fearing it, approach it with curiosity and a willingness to let go. #HowWeLiveIsHowWeDie #PemaChödrön's #DrSureshKPandeyKota #DrVidushiSharmaKota #SuViEyeHospitalKota #SuViEyeHospitalLasikLaserCenterKota
