Michael Stoller’s Farewell: Embracing Gratitude and Self-Compassion
I still believe two of the most valuable and powerful words you can say to yourself every day are kind and gentle, finding ways to be nicer, more compassionate and more loving towards yourself rather than cruel and self-deprecating.
Ever wondered what it means to truly be kind to yourself? Michael Stoller wraps up his 'My Blueprint: Struggle Towards Emotional Sobriety' series with a poignant message on self-care and compassion. In this concluding episode, Michael opens up about his favorite feeling—gratitude—and shares personal reflections on mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. He also recites 'The Invitation' by Oriah Mountain Dreamer, a poem that has deeply touched him.
Throughout the series, Michael has bared his soul, sharing his battles and breakthroughs in hopes of resonating with listeners who might feel alone in their struggles. This final episode is no different. Michael emphasizes the importance of being gentle with oneself and finding value in one’s own journey. Whether you’re grappling with mental health challenges or just looking for a bit of inspiration, Michael’s heartfelt farewell offers a comforting reminder: be kind to yourself.
His insights on emotional sobriety and personal growth will continue to echo long after the series ends.
