Episode #77: Impermanence: Grasping the Ungraspable

Summary: On this episode of Act To Live, Scott and Jaime discuss impermanence. The duo starts small as they discuss the impermanence that exists in daily life and then dig deeper as they explore the impermanence that often accompanies things like change, loss, grief, and trauma. Jaime and Scott both share some of their own experiences and struggles with impermanence and discuss the lessons they learned along the way.  ACTion Event of the Week: Think about an area of your life in which you are struggling with impermanence. Bring that impermanence to mind and then allow yourself to sit with it for a few minutes. What did you notice? What is a first-step you might take in your journey toward a greater respect and acknowledgment of impermanence? Where do we walk next? Join us on the next episode of Act To Live as we celebrate friendship!  References: Nash Ph.D, J. (2016). How to Accept the Impermanence of Life: A Buddhist Take.
