Mindful Moments with David Larbi

Giving people grace is something I'm really trying to do more of. My problem in the past has been giving too much grace and failing to protect myself in the process but I know there's a way to balance the two. Ultimately, I wouldn't be who I am were it not for the grace given to me by the people around me, and I always want to give my fellow human being a chance. Hosted on Acast.

Ten questions for ten episodes! To celebrate the mini-milestone of reaching episode 10, I’ve chosen ten questions from listeners to answer in today’s episode - I think I picked well, I hope you do too!NB: In the answer to question 8, I say I lived in Paris when I was 22 and graduated when I was 24 - I actually lived in Paris when I was 20 and graduated when I was 22, the pandemic years ruined my mental timeline!

For something we have to do, sleep can be really hard to come by. I decided I wanted to fix my sleeping habits years ago; it’s taken a very long time to feel like I’ve become a good sleeper but wow, is it worth it when I have a good night. This year I’ve been on a crusade, a mission to clock up as many 8-hour nights as possible! I still find It difficult sometimes but a bad nights’ sleep is the exception now, not the rule and I’m grateful for that. Whatever helps you sleep at night, am I right?  Hosted on Acast.

This episode is for my hard-working people who never feel like they’re working hard enough. I struggle to feel as though I’m as disciplined as I am, because I always feel that there’s more I could be doing. Working on understanding what discipline is, applying my own definition of the idea to my life and seeing discipline as a tool rather than a punishment have been essential to me becoming a more disciplined person, for the right reasons. Hope you enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Recently, I've been asked a lot of questions about my positive nature. Truthfully, I don't think I have a lot of the answers myself. I know I'm a lot ore positive than I used to be, I know it's something I've consciously worked towards and it's probably a combination of many things that have worked and helped me progress. This isn't the last time I'll talk about this, I feel I only scratched the surface, but I hope this will be of some help nonetheless. Have a great week! Hosted on Acast.

I love reading. I LOVE reading! I lost that love a few years ago, but I'm finally back in the habit of reading and enjoying it as much as I used to. These are the reasons why, and what helped me recapture the love for one of my favourite habits. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I just completed the 75 Hard - and I kept it a secret the whole time. As you can imagine, two and a half months have given me a LOT to say. Stick around to hear it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How we talk to ourselves and the things we speak over ourselves is so very important. Life is hard enough without being my own enemy! I'm trying to make sure I always talk to myself as I would a friend, because me & myself are going to be together for life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I have a lot of time to think right now, and I'm wondering if it's too much. Working through emotions is a lot. but it's honest work. It doesn't always make me happy, but it does leave me content - and sometimes, that's more important. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Patience is a virtue but this is one area where I struggle to be virtuous. Waiting for my time is its own specific kind of hard work and though I'm struggling to improve, improve I slowly and surely am. I guess I just need to be patient. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
