The Spiritual Perspective
Ever wonder what the spiritual perspective is on genocide? On cheating? On getting back with your ex? On toxic people?
If so, this is your channel.
You identify as spiritual — but you’ve still got questions about how to show up in life’s messiest, most nuanced situations.
And you don’t have time for fluffy, feel-good answers that don’t hold up in the real world.
This is where you’ll find a grounded spiritual take on life’s hardest questions.
I’m Light Watkins — keynote speaker, author, and longtime meditation teacher — and every week, I share short, no-BS videos that help you zoom out, tune in, and reframe what you’re going through.
If you’re tired of surface-level advice and ready to go deeper, join me every Monday and Thursday for new episodes of The Spiritual Perspective.
Your next breakthrough might be one perspective shift away.

Get Your Habits to Stick (without Burning the Boats)
Most people don’t fail at building habits because they’re lazy or undisciplined — they fail because they misunderstand what real consistency takes.
In this week’s Spiritual Perspective, Light Watkins breaks down the hidden reason most new habits don’t stick, and why the typical advice around motivation and discipline is incomplete.
You’ll learn why social media is often the worst place to get inspired, why “burning the boats” is too extreme when it comes to change, and how to make falling off virtually impossible. Light also shares the one factor that separates people who finish from those who quit, and how to generate the will to keep going when inspiration fades.
Whether you’re trying to start meditating, get in shape, or follow through on a creative goal, this episode will reframe the way you think about building habits that last.
If you’ve been stuck in a start-stop cycle with your goals, this conversation will help you understand what’s been missing — and how to finally make change sustainable.
