Description

Discover all of the podcasts in our network, search for specific episodes, get the Optimal Living Daily workbook, and learn more at: OLDPodcast.com. Episode 2796: Elana Miller offers a deeply honest reflection on the emotional toll of living with illness and how others' reactions, often well-meaning but boundaryless, can objectify and exhaust rather than support. Through her experiences, she explores the importance of discernment, self-awareness, and protecting one's limited emotional energy, reminding us that true compassion is marked by respect, not intrusion. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://zenpsychiatry.com/on-human-nature/ Quotes to ponder: "Not everyone is equally deserving of my (currently limited) mental and emotional energy." "The most wise people learn not only from their own experiences, but from the experiences of others, they learn from the experiences of history." "Some people are highly evolved and others are not."
