Welcome to episode 204 of SelfKind with Erica Webb (that's me!). In this episode, I'm inspired by this reel from Esther Perel on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/CrbSFpEgYyv/). In this clip, she talks about how, in this modern life, we can avoid the discomfort of disappointment, dislike and 'wasted' time by having the algorithms spit us out our next best watch, listen, partner etc.
Now, she's not demonizing those things (how handy are they!) but rather pointing out the potential we have to miss opportunities to get to KNOW ourselves better.
In this episode you'll hear:
- why getting uncomfortable can be a great way to find out more about yourself and what you love
- the thing I've unexpectedly fallen in love with
- why our brain loves the certainty and safety of 'sure things'
- the role of self-trust in trying something without any guarantees.
