Someone says something that stings, and before you’ve decided anything, your chest is tight and the words are already out.
That space between what happened and what you did feels like nothing. Kabbalah says it’s the most important ground you own. Neuroscience says it’s about a fifth of a second.
In this episode we go into the gap. Why your alarm system fires before your judgment does. Why restraint, isn’t the opposite of love but the vessel that holds it. Why the Tanya says the first thought isn’t you, but the second one is a choice. And why G-d’s first creative act was holding back.
Plus four things you can actually do, starting today.
