Ep 7. Solo Episode - Becoming the Curious Explorer of Your Life
In today's episode I spoke about the idea of becoming a curious explorer of your own life. This was a phrase I had first heard when I began my journey with meditation and mindfulness teacher training. We were invited to get curious and explore our emotions (good and bad) and what was going on under the surface as we moved through our days - moment by moment. I have since taken the idea of being a curious explorer and woven into my own journey with personal and spiritual exploration. It's allowed me to create space, breathing room, as I call it, so I can go see what life is presenting, and my reaction from a more objective place.
I chatted about a few key learnings or moments on my journey into curiosity. One of the biggest moments was the flip in perspective from life happening TO me to life happening FOR me. I have been able to see where I can begin to take ownership over my life and where playing a victim wasn't serving me in being about to move past challenging events and to live a life truly worth living.
Getting curious has given me the ability to see what feels good to me and what doesn't , what is in alignment and what isn't and where I am out of integrity with my own beliefs and values.
I talk about how life, or the universe will show you exactly where to begin. It speaks in whispers, then yells and then will send a cosmic 2 x 4 until you listen, tune in and consciously choose to redirect.
I offer you some of the most poignant and powerful questions to ask yourself around who you are, why you are the way you are, what you believe, why you want the things you want and what's possible for you. And of course, I give tangible takeaways on where to begin!
