Discover how to harness Elul's spiritual potential while keeping anxiety at bay in our latest episode, featuring Mordechai Weiss, a compassionate licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist. Learn from Mordechai's extensive expertise in Torah study and mental health as we discuss practical strategies for balancing spiritual aspirations with emotional well-being.
From understanding the differences between motivating and debilitating anxiety to setting realistic and compassionate goals, this episode promises to equip you with tools to navigate Elul with serenity and purpose.
Explore the complex interplay between Yiras Shomayim (fear of Heaven) and anxiety and how to approach your spiritual duties without overwhelming stress. Through enlightening analogies and real-life examples, Mordechai sheds light on perfectionism in religious practices, helping you find a sustainable path to Avodas Hashem (service of God). We delve into the challenges and rewards of striving for personal growth, underscoring the importance of patience, self-honesty, and setting manageable goals to avoid burnout.
Join us for a heartfelt conversation about achieving true teshuvah (repentance) and cultivating lasting change as we approach the high holidays. By sharing personal anecdotes and Torah teachings, Mordechai offers valuable insights on transforming your spiritual journey into one marked by meaningful progress rather than unrealistic expectations.
Whether you're grappling with perfectionism, struggling with the yetzer hara (evil inclination), or simply seeking a more balanced approach to spiritual growth, this episode provides a compassionate and practical roadmap for your Elul experience.
