In this episode of 'Life is a Game,' hosted by Alexandra Nicole Stone, listeners are invited to explore the concept of viewing life's challenges through the lens of a video game. Alexandra shares her personal struggle with feeling guilty for not being able to work due to sickness and how this led her to question her dedication and work ethic. Drawing parallels between the guilt-free nature of playing video games and handling life's obstacles, she emphasizes the importance of self-compassion, rest, and recognizing the difference between facing obstacles and failing. The episode advocates for treating oneself with the same grace and understanding that one would offer to a character in a game, underlining that taking time to replenish health and overcome obstacles is not indicative of failure but a necessary part of the journey.
