659 || sympathy vs. empathy

Sympathy is recognizing + understanding someone else’s situation. Empathy is sharing in it. Sympathy typically focuses more on my personal experience or my own instinctual reaction to your situation, whereas empathy is more based on me feeling into the situation and being there with you, in that experience. To practice healthy empathy, we must be willing to get vulnerable with our feelings without centering ourself in the experience.

  • 1125 || tiny steps make real progress || week 8 - the artist's way

    09:48
    We're doing a deep dive on Julia Cameron's Twelve Week Process of The Artist's Way. This is week 8:"One of the most difficult tasks an artist must face is a primal one: artistic survival. All artists must learn the art of surviving loss: loss of hope, loss of face, loss of money, loss of self-belief. In addition to our many gains, we inevitable suffer these losses in an artistic career. They are hazards of the road and, in many ways, its signposts. Artist losses can be turned into artistic gains and strengths—but not in the isolation of the beleaguered artist’s brain." - Julia Cameronhttps://juliacameronlive.com/GET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.
