For me, boredom was an excuse to go do what I really wanted to do, which was go, get loaded and and, or you know, like gosh, my ego would chime in and say: like life is so boring, I have to create chaos to make it exciting.
Do you ever find yourself reaching for a drink just to escape the monotony of everyday life? In this episode of 'Learning to Rise', Jeff.Talks tackles the tricky topic of boredom and its sneaky role in addiction. Drawing from his own journey, Jeff opens up about how boredom used to be his go-to excuse for harmful habits and how he broke free from that cycle. But that's just the beginning.
Jeff dives into the difference between empathy and sympathy, urging us to practice genuine compassion as defined by the Dalai Lama: 'To be genuine, compassion must be based on respect for others and the realization that others have the right to be happy and overcome suffering, just as much as you.' It's a powerful reminder that we all deserve happiness and relief from pain.
Jeff also shares his thoughts on emotional longevity—how to maintain emotional strength over time—and the importance of surrender and remembrance in managing our feelings. Through his candid stories and practical advice, Jeff inspires listeners to tap into their full potential and truly embrace life. Whether you're struggling with addiction or just looking for some heartfelt encouragement, this episode offers valuable insights and a fresh perspective.
