Episode 37: The Waiting Game with Dr. Gerald Stein

In this episode, I’m with my co-host Dr. Vicki Atkinson and we are so fortunate to have blogger and retired psychologist, Dr. Gerald Stein back with us. Dr. Stein tells us three stories about waiting. Each story is great by itself but all three speak to the benefit of developing the practice of resisting the pace of life that tells us to speed up and instead finding the calm to slow down.

These examples of the fruits of waiting emphasize how beneficial it can be to operate from a feeling of abundance instead of the panic of scarcity.

We talk about how we can be quiet and interested so that others know that we are not indifferent but listening with an ear of being established in the other’s agenda.

And when we do that, it opens us up to the Socratic practice of being able to create gradual movement by asking questions.

This is a great episode of story-telling and wisdom. We get to glean goodness from the calm presence of Dr. Stein and his long experience. I know you’ll love it.
