In this thought-provoking episode of "The Gotta Look Up" podcast, host Tom delves deep into the concept of hell not as a physical location but as a state of mind created by our own experiences and emotions. With an insightful exploration of mental quicksand, Tom discusses how expectations, regrets, lost love, grief, loneliness, unfulfilled potential, divorce, and other man-made constructs contribute to our personal hells. These are the shadows that loom over us, the battles we fight within the confines of our minds, where the feeling of being stuck often seems insurmountable.
But it's not all darkness and despair. Tom navigates through these heavy themes with the message that there is a way out of this mental mire. The episode shines a light on the importance of perseverance, of "keeping going" despite the odds. Tom introduces the concept of finding our "trees of joy" and "anchors of help" - beacons of hope and support that can guide us through our toughest times. Whether it's reconnecting with nature, finding solace in art, embracing the support of loved ones, or seeking professional help, there are ways to lift ourselves out of the depths.
