Description: Ever found your mood shift instantly because of something small—like someone cutting you off in traffic, your partner’s mess, or the physical discomfort of anxiety? In this episode, Carly explores a powerful concept from Japanese Psychology called shiso-no-mujun—the internal tension between how things are and how we wish they were. Using a very real (and very relatable) moment from her morning, she talks about how recognising this tension can help us respond to life’s little irritations with more clarity and less reactivity. This one’s for anyone who’s had their mood hijacked by the everyday—and wants take control of how they respond to those everyday challenges.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
