We are not existing in a healthy culture that supports us in being the healthiest versions of ourselves.
We are not existing in a culture that encourages us to really get to know who we are, to express authentically and to connect with others in a deeply meaningful way.
Rather, we are living in a culture that teaches us to be FULLY aware of what others may be thinking about us, feeling about us and perceiving about us at ALL TIMES, and to be TOTALLY unaware of how WE are actually feeling, what we’re thinking and what’s going on for us.
We live in a culture that is teaching us to be very much superficially self obsessed - where we scrutinize our every hair, facial expression and tone of voice - while at the same time being totally divorced from our TRUE nature, our emotions, our feelings, our bodies and everything that makes us truly human.
This leaves most of us feeling like no matter how hard we try to connect to others or to live an ‘authentic life’ - we feel like we’re getting it wrong, we feel isolated, we feel disconnected and we feel like something is ‘off.’
Many of us are deeply drawn to self improvement work, yet we have little to no awareness of WHY we are the way we are, why we do the things we do and why we struggle with the things we struggle with.
Many of us are constantly working on our relationships only to find that we fall into the same patterns over and over again.
Many of us feel like we have to be constantly on alert to how OTHERS are feeling about us, and this leads us to a space of being drained and exhausted most of the time.
Our society has living all backwards - and nowhere is this MORE obvious than in our relationships with ourselves.
Today I want to explore WHY we constantly feel isolated, alone, like we need to fix ourselves and why this focus on the externalities is really keeping us from developing a safe relationship with ourselves AND from developing meaningful relationships with others.
You are not broken if you are struggling to find your way in our culture - you’re normal and human.
Let’s talk about all of this today.
