Listen "24. On Cutting Back on Demands & Expectations with Kathy Oneto (A Summer Solo Episode)"
Episode Synopsis
In this solo episode, I offer 3 challenges to help you cut back on demands and expectations so you can create more space in your life for summer and going forward.I read an article on burnout from The Economist’s 1843 magazine by Josh Cohen who is a psychoanalyst, academic, and writer. And he had this to say at the end, “Burnout is not simply a symptom of working too hard. It is also the body and mind crying out for an essential human need: a space free from the incessant demands and expectations of the world…. The amelioration of burnout begins in finding your own pool of tranquility where you can cool off.”So, the intent of this episode is to help us find that pool of tranquility Cohen describes, which is perfect for this overly hot summer. How do we allow ourselves to cool off, as he notes? How do we cut down on all the demands and expectations of the world?Try these challenges to help.Thanks for Listening!If you liked this episode, please rate, review, and share the episode.
