There's some sort of power to realizing or learning how to view every moment as the same moment and all people as the same person, every moment, including now, and all people, including yourself, to viewing it all as the same.
Ever felt the pressure to be super-efficient, only to end up frustrated? Joakim Eriksson, the host of 'This Week in Sparkling Water,' takes us on a thoughtful journey through the idea of patience in his episode titled 'A Fear of Wildlife.' Joakim opens up about his struggles with impatience and the constant push to speed up creative work. But what if slowing down could actually be the answer?
This episode dives deep into how embracing patience can transform our approach to creativity, life, and sobriety. Joakim explores the societal obsession with productivity and perfectionism, questioning whether these pressures are actually beneficial. He shares personal anecdotes, including his experiences with camping and wildlife, to illustrate how taking things slow can lead to more meaningful experiences. Joakim also touches on the impact of social media and the importance of doing things for their own sake, without any ulterior motives.
One particularly intriguing part of the episode is when Joakim recounts an exercise from an art history class where students had to sit in front of a painting for three hours.
