The One Thing That Can Change Everything...

This episode is about why self-knowledge can serve as a strong foundation for living a meaningful and joyful life.Some examples of questions we can ask ourselves:* What is my overall vision for my life? What do I want to be known for?* What are my values, strengths, and weaknesses?* What drains me? What fills me up? What brings me joy? Dread?* When do I have the most energy? Is it cyclical or consistent? * Am I a morning person or a night owl?* How do I learn? * How does my nervous system respond to crowds, noise, light?* What foods feel good in my body? * How do I like to move?* How do I show up in relationships — am I fair, kind, prone to blame…?* Do I like my work? What parts energize or deplete me?* Do I end most days feeling satisfied, or stuck on a hamster wheel?Understanding ourselves helps us manage all the areas of our lives better.We are the only ones who can truly know ourselves. Loved ones, community and therapy all matter — but no one is more equipped to be our own advocate than us. Practical ways to deepen self-understanding include journaling, self-reflection, making art, astrology, Human Design, the Kolbe Index, Myers-Briggs, etc…Thank you so much for listening !
