The Power of Vulnerability - Episode 69
Heal From the Ground Up
Our society admires strength and looks down upon vulnerability thinking to be vulnerable is to be weak. We misuse “strength” to push away how we feel. It’s actually much easier to avoid how we feel by being “strong” than it is to face our feelings with vulnerability and to feel what we feel at our core. Listen to this episode to learn more!

Heal From the Ground Up
You may have all kinds of emotions, feelings, and thoughts racing through you because of all that is happening right now. Despite how bad it may be and how dark it may feel right now, I want you to first center yourself with the mantra that "Problems bring up feelings in us that existed before the problem ever happened." This is not to deny the severity of what's going on right now but it is important to identify these feelings subconsciously controlling how you feel and think.

info_outlineBoundaries serve to protect you in all areas of life, especially in relationships and work.
In a relationship, boundaries are so important to protect not only yourself but your partner. Because once boundaries are crossed both parties are disrespecting themselves. Any disagreement can only get worse if boundaries are crossed.
In this society we praise being selfless which fosters the idea that we should not have boundaries. Boundaries are your vault to protect what is most essential to you and who you are. Without them, everything that is important to you is given up as a free for all. And eventually you will feel empty.
We need to take care of ourselves. We need to be the caretaker for ourselves and not be the caretaker for others. Your only responsibility is yourself. You are not responsible for others. You can have the desire to help others, but you're not responsible for other people's problems. That is what I feel is the root of the pain of selflessness. Selflessness means that all that is important to you no longer exists.
