Tonight, we explore the feeling of not being good enough, and why so many of us carry it for so long. Through Buddhist teachings, Zen stories and slow, calming reflections, we look at where self-doubt comes from and why comparison wears us down. We also look at how the Buddha and the Zen masters pointed toward a deeper kind of self-acceptance.

This long-form episode of Buddhism for sleep is made for deep rest, relaxation and gentle listening. It touches on self-worth, self-compassion, letting go of perfectionism, and a peace that doesn’t depend on achievement or approval. No prior knowledge of Buddhism or meditation is needed. Listen as you fall asleep, or let it play softly in the background as you unwind.

If this brought you some peace, you are welcome to follow this sleep podcast for more Zen stories and Buddhist teachings for sleep. You can also share it with anyone who is being too hard on themselves.
