But I think of emptiness as either short term, tied to specific instances like bereavement or breakup, or long-term, as a result of something that you mentioned right up front, which was a lack of purpose.
Why does January often feel like a void we can't escape? In this episode of 'Sideways', Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst tackle the heavy feeling of emptiness that many experience during the post-holiday slump. With their usual blend of humor and heartfelt honesty, they share their own winter woes, including battling pesky viruses and reminiscing about pet tortoises and inflatable Jesus figures. But it's not all light-hearted banter.
The hosts dig deep into what causes these feelings of emptiness, whether it's the aftermath of a breakup, bereavement, or a deeper lack of purpose. They discuss how these feelings can feed on themselves, making it hard to break free. Graham and Martin offer practical tips for managing these tough emotions, like meditation and setting regular times to connect with friends. They also highlight the importance of appreciating the small joys in life and reaching out for help when needed.
This episode is a comforting reminder that while January can be tough, you're not alone in feeling this way. Tune in for a mix of laughter, wisdom, and practical advice to help you navigate the winter blues.
