The Re-Education Of Passion (Formerly, The Plastic Human)

Well...it certainly has been a little longer than a minute :)!? So, thank you friends for being so patient with me as I slowly return from my Social Media time away. It has been the time that I desperately needed to take!?

I am now feeling rejuvenated and prepared to make some radical changes.

Moving forward I will be sharing more on my journey, but first… let’s examine what I’m changing up with regards to this Newsletter!

Previously, 'The Plastic Human' was an exploration into what shapes our human natures and our human experiences.

The big idea was that it is not just our brains that are plastic, but also our DNA, emotions, personalities, identities and yes, our passions.

We are shaped by our experiences, much as our experiences are shaped by us.

Now, that idea is simple enough.

However, what can become complex is how you marry that concept within the context of your own personal and current life experiences.

When you start to raise your self awareness around how your past impacts your present, and in turn, how your body and neurology interprets the past to influence the decisions you make today - it's a total game changer that puts you in an empowered seat!?

Critical if you want to make changes that will have you living your best life.

The challenge most people encounter on this journey is that they quickly begin to realize that self discovery work is no easy task.

Our brains are simply not designed to help us out in the self awareness department.

Let's see this fact play out in numbers, and for a moment, get into why.

According to Dr. Tasha Eurich's studies, she has found that:

95% of people think they are self-aware, but only 10-15% truly are.

She sites 3 main reasons for why this is:

1. We All Have Blind Spots

Everyone has them - and it's nothing to be ashamed of. We are not made to be able to see all sides of ourselves clearly. Our wiring has us mostly functioning from unconscious hidden influences that guide our behaviour and our results. And when we are in modes of survival, distress or not confronting our past pains - we are more likely to use this feature in our natures.

2. We Live Our Life According To 'The Feel Good Effect'

This basically says that each of us sees ourselves as generally good people. Seeing ourselves as good, helps us to feel good about who we are. This bias to our good natures makes us sometimes (often) reject or become blind to the more negative sides of who we are. When we favour our good sides over our negative sides we actively dismiss parts of who we are which turns our self awareness dial down quite a few notches.? Chances are you can probably see this type of behaviour in other people very easily, but it may not be as easily to see it in yourself.

3. Social Media And Modern Society Has Created 'The Cult of Self'

This speaks to a more modern phenomenon that locks us out from having complete self awareness. Being able to have thousands and sometimes millions of 'followers' gives us the impression that we are more important than we really are. This creates a self-absorbance that then creates an imbalance of self understanding, and also, of understanding others. It can also create easy pathways in overvaluing our identity and creates illusions about our real self.

So the question becomes, how can we turn this all around?

From The Plastic Human to The Re-Education of Passion

The Plastic Human was a journey to increase our levels of self awareness by understanding more about the human experience and our inner architecture.

And while The Re-Education of Passion will still be about that. It will also adjust it's focus slightly to include how you can begin to turn on your own internal light to be the change agents that the world so desperately needs, today.

There is so much pain in the world. We see it with the alarming rise of teen suicides, school shootings, nationwide warring, economic inequality, generational trauma, and the list goes on. Now more than ever we are being called to figure out our light and turn it all the way up.

But we can't do that if we are unaware that we have a switch, or where to find that switch.

So in this new iteration of this Newsletter, I will be sharing with you all the juice on where to find your switch, turn on your Passion and live into the optimal life you each deserve.

Thank you all so much for your patience with me on this journey. I can't wait to share it all with you in this new chapter!
