Finding Wisdom in Winnie the Pooh: Michael Stoller's Reflections from Christopher Robin
Doing nothing often leads to the very best kind of something.
Ever thought a children's movie could offer profound life lessons? Michael Stoller did. In this episode of 'My Blueprint: Struggle Towards Emotional Sobriety', Michael shares his experience of watching Disney's Christopher Robin all by himself in the theater. As a seasoned psychotherapist and life coach, he dives into the surprising insights he gained from Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet.
Michael talks about the power of doing nothing, a concept beautifully illustrated in the film, and how it resonated with his own need for a break. He opens up about his decision to take a sabbatical from his practice, a move that has drawn mixed reactions from those around him. Some see it as brave, others as baffling. But for Michael, it's about recognizing burnout and embracing spiritual practices like prayer and meditation to strengthen one's inner self.
He encourages listeners to trust in something greater than themselves and to let go of what no longer serves them. If you're seeking inspiration to live a more authentic and meaningful life, this episode offers a heartfelt perspective on finding wisdom in the most unexpected places.
