Reflection on Life Lessons From Gert Behanna
Gert Behana speaks on alcoholism and boredom in this video She was a popular speaker back in the day. A phenomena story teller….funny to boot…..in that real and raw manner.\u00a0 When she popped into my head this evening I knew I needed to share with you. If you are a fan of podcasts or listening to youtube videos you will def. become an instant fan of her.It is a bit lengthy (55 mins). When her speech was shared with me and I saw that amount of time it would take, I immediately passed. And when she got brought up, I would say okay fine I’ll take the time to go listen to it. But, everytime I saw those 55 minutes I put it off.\u00a0 With being ADHD I am always afraid that if I stop moving I will forget or miss something more important and exciting. Sitting down also makes me feel unproductive. And the thought of\u00a0 boredom terrifies me. So, 55 minutes to commit myself to do anything I don’t immediately find to be stimulating or engaging I quit…or don’t start. However you want to look at it.
I Don’t remember what finally caused me to take a pause, sit down, and turn it on. It sure was because her popularity of my personal interests in anything she had to say. I was not even inclined enough to google her and find out, until after I had started listening to this talk.
Years ago a woman named Gert Behanna was a popular speaker. \u00a0She was raised in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel as the irresponsible child of a wealthy and dysfunctional family. \u00a0She was brought up to be a snob. \u00a0After her remarkable conversion from \u201calcoholism and boredom\u201d she would tell people \u201cI\u2019m a snob above snobs because I look down upon people who look down upon people.\u201d \u00a0
I found tonight I, myself was long overdo for a lesson from Gert, which ironically was ….to take a deep breath and pause. I took away something I never had before, when I listed to it tonight. The hurrier in me, to get everything done….right now…..quickly…all of it…. so I can ‘enjoy’ getting to rest, learned that very problem with boredom makes absolutely no logical sense. Being in a hurry get everything done quick, is the reason I get bored so fast. If it took her 53 years before she started her life, I can take a day. And, so CAN you!!
I hope you enjoy her as much as I do! I have embedded the video below. You can also access the video using the direct link
