Let the Adventure Begin with Chris Denker

Bird by Bird

September 04, 2024 Chris Denker Season 1 Episode 117

From Anne Lamott's book, Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life, Lamott shares the story of her brother who had a project due on birds. Spoiler alert, he waited until the last minute to get it done.

And then, Lamott's father gives the best advice when her brother was feeling overwhelmed. That's the focus of this week's episode.

In this episode, I talk about the following:
*the feelings of overwhelm
*putting a plan of action together (go back and listen to Episode 116 - Rome Wasn't Built in a Day
*how deep breaths help, because the "things" aren't going to go away
*how understanding impermanence helps
*being reflective is the key practice
