"Listen to your body" has made me sit out a lot of great experiences that I think I was just too anxious to go into.
Ohhhh, I relate to this so hard and I struggle with it!! Self-care as resting — yes, we do all need rest and also sometimes the most helpful advice for me is to get up. I would love to hear from other folks w/ depression, anxiety, etc on how they navigate those contradictions of “I’m giving myself good advice about this but not that.”
Yes!! As someone who is more on the CRUSH, GO, PLOW AHEAD end of the spectrum that was a really interesting perspective to hear- it had not occurred to me that sometimes you can give your body more credence than you should!
Wow! Stunning interview with a brilliant story-maker. 🙏🏼 I sobbed so hard at "Women Talking," moved by the beautiful, effective labor of deep listening. Which Polley embodies in her willingness to have hard conversations about past assaults. So Brave! I'm especially moved by stories of kindness and creating beautiful experiences while filmmaking and caregiving. This IS how we evolve our species.
Thank you Christine! I agree- her courage in telling these stories is such an example. And the modeling of deep listening- what could we accomplish collectively is we did this???
