If you've ever found yourself immediately abandoning your adult composure the second someone around you gets upset, we've got your back.

In today's episode, the inimitable Jeff Warren returns with a practice to help you stop absorbing everyone else's stress and start holding healthy boundaries without turning into a jerk. Jeff — who is both a dear friend of Dan's and one of the funniest meditation teachers alive — walks you through how to stay grounded in your own body even when the people around you are melting down.

This meditation is especially helpful if you tend to:

• Fix other people's problems without being asked

• Rush to make everything okay the instant someone frowns

• Get overwhelmed by other people's moods

• Lose your boundaries around demanding or sensitive humans (including the tiny ones)
