3 年Relatable to life in general and our relationships and interactions with others, as well as developing greater self awareness. So interesting and helpful…thank you!!
Jessi Hempel - Love this conversation! I think it’s so extremely important. Especially when we become so committed to the duty of creation, rather than the joy of creation. Plus, the neuroscience behind all of this research really backs up what she saying, and also creating rituals into our days that allow for space to find the joy. The framing Effect and Behavioral Science, it’s all about how we talk about what we experience. It’s also connected to the idea of what you are thinking about primarily and giving your energy to. In fact, they have done neuroscience research on what happens when we listen to podcasts, for example, And our brains automatically go in to image making. We create images based on the language patterns that we listen to in podcasts. This is why, some states have even banned listening to podcasts while driving, because people tend to create images. Language, in and of itself is an embodied experience. And so, what we say about ourselves, our experiences, our own potential has residual knock on effects to how we physically live our lives and make choices. Thanks for the reminder! :-)??
