Listen "S2 E7: Connecting to Yourself"
Episode Synopsis
Most of us identify or feel connected to ourselves through one of two things-- what we do and how we feel. This is understandable but can also be problematic because it builds our sense of self on shifting ground. If our sense of worth or sense of self is tied to what we or to wether or not we have positive emotions, we will find undue hardship when those two things inevitably change through life circumstances.
Today's three takeaways to help build our sense of self:
MIND: Empty your thoughts onto paper.
Gaining awareness of what is going on inside our minds helps us understand more our role in our experiences, and ultimately helps us to choose more intentionally who we are being in any given moment.
BODY: Have a conversation (or ongoing dialogue) with your body. Maybe write it a letter, and let your body write a letter back to you.
If we can think about our bodies as our partners or our allies, it's much easier to offer them support, that in turn allows our bodies to support us more fully.
PURPOSE: Give someone the gift of you.
Each of us has a unique soul, and the worth of souls is great. The most generous gifts we can give or receive is the gift the fills the hunger for human connection.
Sharon Eubank quote: "If we change our perspective so that caring for the poor and the needy is less about giving stuff away, and more about filling the hunger for human contact, then the Lord can send us someplace... and remember that in the same way as the Savior, you yourself are one of the best gifts that you can give to other people in need."
