In the time when I get stuck in my- I'll call it pity party- and my self-will, I can't get myself out. There's always weeds to be picked. There's always pieces of garbage to be picked up. There's always doors to be held. There's always somebody behind you in line where you can buy their coffee.
Ever feel like life’s just too much? Michael Stoller knows the feeling. In this episode of 'My Blueprint: Struggle Towards Emotional Sobriety', Michael revisits one of his most impactful episodes, 'Picking Weeds Part II'. He opens up about a time when he was drowning in depression and saw no way out. But then, he discovered a simple yet profound practice: picking weeds. This wasn't just gardening; it was a lifeline.
Getting his hands dirty and connecting with nature offered him a break from his overwhelming thoughts. He even came up with a clever acronym for WEEDS: When Everything Else Doesn't Seem to Work, Go to Weeds. This episode isn't just about gardening; it's about finding small, meaningful actions that can pull you out of dark places. Michael emphasizes how these acts of service, no matter how tiny, can help you focus on something beyond your struggles.
He encourages everyone to find their own 'weeds'—those small activities that bring peace and purpose. Tune in to hear Michael's story and maybe get inspired to find your own simple practices that make a big difference.
