Ep. 57 - Meditations for Mortals Week 4 / Showing Up
Description
MEDITATIONS FOR MORTALS BOOK STUDY
This week Kelley and Erin complete their book study of Meditations for Mortals. Oliver Burkeman’s fourth week of the book focuses on showing up in our own lives.
Conversations this week start a little heavy - the thought of life and death. But Erin ties our mortality into the Burkeman’s concept of finitude - the idea that things end. Lots of us keep “planning” for the future with the idea that our struggles today will eventually make our lives better in the future. In many cases, that’s true. But should we procrastinate in life's enjoyment all the time? Maybe not.
The point is that we are going to die, and perhaps it’s important for us to take initiative in enjoying our moments now rather than focus so heavily on the future.
We’ve loved this book study and hope to do more of these! If you have suggestions, drop us a note!
