Who Are You Really?

from The Visionary Path: Transforming Stress Into Purpose · host Dr. Maria Ian

Have you really taken that quantum leap into your true essence? Often it appears that you can still fail in making that goal-smashing change even if you know yourself and your life's higher calling. The awareness and self-reflection that comes with having a choice are not enough when your fall back position is that you may need a break from your overpowering self. When cognitive rigidity and lack of flexibility impair your brain's health, you will get stuck in resting mode no matter your good intentions. Join us as we continue to unravel the great mystery that is you! SHOW NOTES: (00:45) - Is the path of a visionary now more real to you than the pressing world of stress? -You want to know how to use your energy as your higher potential before you begin to fall into pits and have to crash. (09:40) - Is the person you think you are really you? - Your self-concept - the beliefs you hold about yourself - is not a fixed entity; it is not set in stone. That is both good and unfavorable.  (14:20) - Adversity molds character - It is by doing that you truly are. You must own yourself and be prepared to progress through testing and error. (18:03) - Self-awareness should be your favorite personality trait - The importance you assign to a personality trait affects how you seek and remember information.  (27:10) - Breaking free - Connecting with something beyond yourself, even for a split second, can profoundly affect your sense of self and well-being.  (32:11) - Your superradiant brain - A quantum effect called superradiance in the neuron networks in your brain occurs on an incredibly fast timescale of less than a picosecond.  (37:30) - The life-giving power of cognitive flexibility - Be prepared and get to know the iron grip of cognitive rigidity and lack of flexibility on human creativity!
