Ep 397 How to Reclaim your Freedom with Dr. Emma Seppala

How to Reclaim Your Freedom 

 

Take away:

By cultivating this inner sovereignty first, you can then show up in life with more resilience, creativity, focus, and charisma in whatever you do - be it work, relationships, or pursuing wealth and success. But the wealth ultimately has to start from valuing and caring for yourself from the inside first. That allows you to thrive from a grounded, empowered state, rather than constantly striving from anxiety or self-denial.

 

Money Learnings:

Discussions about money, wealth, or comparing financial situations were discouraged in her household when Dr. Emma Seppala was growing up.  Her parents discouraged her from talking about or thinking too much about other people's wealth or material possessions. Money was not a major topic of discussion or emphasis in her family during her childhood.

 

Bio:

Emma Seppälä, Ph.D., is a Yale professor, best-selling author of The Happiness Track, and research scientist who has researched the effects of meditation and breathing on happiness, anxiety, and trauma. She has a new book coming out by Hay House on April 24th titled Sovereign: Reclaim Your Freedom, Energy and Power in a Time of Distraction, Uncertainty and Chaos that is sure to become a bestseller.

 

Highlights from this episode:

• Cultivating inner peace and sovereignty through practices like meditation, unplugging from technology, spending time in nature, and practicing gratitude is crucial for living an abundant life.
• Developing a supportive, compassionate relationship with oneself, rather than constant self-criticism, leads to better mental health, cognitive abilities, relationships, and overall success.
• Training the nervous system through breathing exercises can increase resilience and calmness in the face of stress and uncertainty.
• True creativity and innovative thinking arise when the mind is in a relaxed, present state – not from constant busyness and device usage.
• Multitasking is ineffective; being fully present and attentive, whether with ourselves or others, is a powerful charismatic quality.
• Question societal narratives promoting chronic busyness, achievement obsession, and emotional suppression – these diminish energy and fulfillment.
• Nurture an inner voice of authenticity from a young age, rather than blindly following prescribed norms about success and worth.
