from The Deep Resilience Project
In this episode, Melli continues the special five-part series Living Beyond Survival Mode by exploring what she calls the survival mode trap. The way the mind’s ancient fear-based wiring can get stuck in the driver’s seat of our inner life.You’ll learn why the human mind is wired for survival before happiness, and how old patterns like worry, rumination, comparison, approval-seeking, negativity bias and endless striving can create stress, anxiety, self-doubt and emotional struggle in modern life.Melli also explains why the goal is not to fight the mind, destroy the ego or get rid of every negative thought. Instead, the real shift is learning how to relate to the mind in a completely new way, so that a deeper awareness, wisdom and inner strength can begin to lead your life.If this episode resonates, please subscribe, like and share it with someone who may benefit.Want to go deeper?Learn more about how to cultivate deep resilience in Melli’s book Deep Resilience:melliobrien.com/deep-resilience-book Explore free weekly teachings and a free mini course at: www.melliobrien.com
