The Energy Gap: When Values and Actions Don't Align 23:10

2 giorni fa23:10

23:10

Send us a text Our energy and nervous system drive our behavior far more than the values we claim to hold, creating a disconnect between what we say matters and where we actually spend our time and focus. • Stated values often contradict actual behaviors due to unconscious safety mechanisms • Nervous system creates safety behaviors based on past experiences that worked for survival • High achievers typically oscillate between wounded masculine energy (pushing, controlling) and wounded feminine energy (avoiding, self-doubt) • Fight/flight/freeze responses consume enormous energy compared to the connected "green zone" • Looking at behaviors through lens of safety rather than judgment creates compassion • Rewiring requires building capacity for new energy states through small, consistent actions • Safety-building practices include creating space in schedules, somatic work, and sensory activities • When nervous system feels safe, masculine energy leads with presence (not control) and feminine energy flows with trust • Identity shifts when no longer operating from survival patterns • Becoming more connected to your body creates ripple effects of compassion for self and others If you found this episode interesting, please forward it to someone who might benefit or leave a review.

Shattering Unwritten Rules 17:45

Send us a text We explore the unwritten rules and conditioning that shape our behaviors and identities without our conscious consent. Most of us play life by rules we never agreed to, continuously diminishing ourselves to appear more acceptable to others and overextending in the hope of winning approval. • The invisible conditioning we absorb through everyday experiences shapes our limitations and sense of belonging • No matter how you show up in life, someone will perceive you as too much or not enough • Self-development involves pausing to examine the parts of yourself you're avoiding • Burnout often stems from exhaustion with performance, not tasks • True growth means burning down the game of constant adjustment and performance • Becoming "better" means increasing your capacity to be authentically yourself, not optimizing to external standards • The freedom comes from knowing who you are beneath social expectations and trends If you're struggling with these issues, drop me a DM at The Completion Coach or email wendy@thecompletioncoach.co.uk If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

Send us a text Is it possible that we've been misleading ourselves about life's single, straightforward purpose? Join me as I challenge this notion and open a conversation about embracing life's unpredictability and complexity. Reflecting on the film "Wicked," we weave through themes of legacy, love, and personal meaning, asking what truly defines our contributions to the human narrative. Together, we ponder why struggles are often more comfortable to share than triumphs and how that shapes our connections with others. Curiosity stands as a guiding force in this exploration, prompting us to question traditional perceptions of love and suffering. As we navigate this complex landscape, I suggest that love, far from a source of pain, has the power to dissolve suffering and bring profound joy. Each chapter of this episode encourages embracing curiosity as a core value, one that fuels creativity and shapes our understanding of purpose. As we wrap up the year, I express heartfelt gratitude for your engagement and hint at more thought-provoking journeys ahead. Let's continue learning, unlearning, and finding joy in the unique experiences that define our lives. If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

Send us a text What if your worth isn't just tied to how much you can do for others? Join me as we unravel the belief that we must keep everything together or risk it all falling apart. This episode explores how childhood experiences with unreliable or emotionally unavailable parents might have shaped this narrative, pushing many into taking on too much responsibility too soon. Learn how this overwhelming sense of duty can lead to exhaustion and loneliness, and discover how we can begin to open up, delegate, and rebuild trust in others. By questioning the origins of these beliefs, we aim to let go of over-responsibility, realising that our value extends beyond our actions alone. In a world that equates vulnerability with weakness, we emphasise the power of embracing emotional openness. This episode challenges the misconception that vulnerability is merely performative, while highlighting the adverse effects of hyper-independence, such as emotional guarding and isolation. We discuss the journey of moving away from over-functioning, inviting more joy and connection into our lives. Finally, we touch on the transformative process of rewiring deep-seated beliefs with the aid of therapists or coaches to escape the productivity trap. As we set the stage for our next conversation, consider sharing this insight with someone who might benefit from breaking free from survival mode.
