    How to hold an unpopular opinion (That time I got kicked out of a business mastermind...)

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 29, 2022 77:14


    In a world that encourages us to think/act/be like everyone else, it can be super scary to have a different opinion. After all, humans are pack animals. We want more than anything to belong to the tribe. Naturally an adaptive desire, in today's modern society it is a disaster. Our systems have stripped us of our critical thinking & we're constantly triggered which means we have no resources to do anything but defend threats and/or pick fights. In this depleted state, we just go along with whatever everyone else is doing because it's easier and saves us energy in the short term. In the long term however, we create massive incongruence which is correlated with a whole whack of less than stellar outcomes.In this week's episode of The How to Feel Good Podcast, I'm talking about how I've learned to honour myself by holding unpopular opinions without them destroying my life, and how you can build up your own ability to do the same!YouTube Version:) Here if you wanna see my face and crazy gestures lolIf you're enjoying this free content and feeling called to make a donation to support the show, please do so HERE :)If you're interested in connecting re: my current offerings, please CLICK HEREĀ

    As a society we've been taught to use elevate intellectual thought over everything else. 'Use your head' to make decisions, not your heart (or soul for that matter). But in reality, our minds are not meant to make decisions at all! They are purely here to ensure our survival. When you make decisions with your head, you will 100% of the time be lead in the same direction you've always gone, away from taking risks of any sort and towards immediate comfort. While this ensures that we stay alive, it is no way to LIVE. In this week's episode I share my insights on this topic including my personal history with indecisiveness/clinical anxiety, as well as how you can find out your unique decision making authority and start living by design.Interested in having me do a deep dive on your Human Design chart?Ā  Book a reading HEREIf you're looking to get in the loop re: the NEW APP I'm developing, sign up for one of my freebies HERE to get on my mailing list, or shoot me a DM on Instagram with your email address :)You can check out my website & other offerings here: www.lovejenngarrett.comOr, shoot me a DM on Instagram and let's chat!THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTENING!
