Listening to OLD podcast has really impacted how I think about things. Episode 508 really has me thinking. But my main issue is it feels like all my burners are on low, and i am a bit lost or floundering. The “family” burner may be active. But its just me and my husband. With a big move last yr and loosing what I had built up in the old city I have lost something. And I am trying to build that back up. But.. Again.. I still feel like I am lost.
Thank you for coming by and sharing your thoughts, Robin! I think it can definitely happen, when some passion is lost, when we’re struggling, if we’re suffering from depression, etc., all the burners could be lower. That’s a great point. There’s no easy answer, but I think many of the posts I read on O.L.D. are all about getting those burners back up and running. I wish you all the best. Thank you again for coming by and sharing!
