#21-Insecurities: A Path to Self-Discovery and Peace

In this episode I talk about insecurities-Those little personal “flaws” that we are often led to believe we have, learned from something perhaps we were told as a child, or observing the patterns and behaviors of others in society. Things that we don't like about ourselves, and that we carry with us, seemingly without any issue. But insecurities, even about what we may admittedly think are  minor things, can affect our behaviors, our well-being and our relationships. In this episode I touch on how sometimes insecurities can not only prevent us from participating in certain events in life and trying new things, but they can also drive us to behaviors intended to correct or perfect what we believe to be perceived flaw about ourselves. Sometimes these behaviors that we are driven to engage in outwardly look like signs of success, whether they be hard work, focus on fitness and improving our physical condition, or seeking perfection in our lives in one way or another. Yet, even though you may be feeling like overcoming those little insecurities has made you successful, this may be masking a deeper feeling that you still have not resolved within yourself, and you may find yourself on a pattern of constantly seeking perfection to fill a void that you just simply haven't resolved.In this episode, I talk about how insecurities are created by the external world, by that assumption that “sameness” is what we should all be striving for. However true contentment and peace comes from embracing our unique differences and understanding that when we live our truth, we not only embrace our own differences, but we can embrace those of others, thereby allowing us to live in a world with less judgment and more love.I welcome you to join me.Thanks for Listening!I appreciate you taking the time to listen.  If you enjoy it, please follow the show,  and review it.
