Changing our culture is going to START with us changing our cultural values.
The collective is going to have to come to see that what we currently see as 'good' and 'right' in terms of how we should live, what we should strive for, who we should be and what does and doesn't have value is robbing us of our humanity.
We are going to have to come to see that the fact that we prize production and consumption OVER life is a major part of the reason we are all struggling the way that we are - and we are going to have to demand that our society shifts the way it operates in order to be MORE supportive of life and LESS focused on profit.
The problem?
Those who benefit MOST from society valuing production and consumption over life are the ones who are CREATING our cultural values.
Those who control our means of production are in a deeply powerful position - they are the ones dictating to us what is and isn't acceptable, what will get us approval and what will get us rejected, what is 'right' in terms of what we should be and do - and letting go of these ideas, questioning this narrative, pushing back against it comes with SO much fear, shame, doubt and frankly trauma that MOST people full on resist doing so even to their own demise.
Understanding what we're truly up against when we are working towards systemic change is challenging - but also really important if we ever want to make true progress.
We are going to have to learn to steady ourselves in redefining our values, as well as learning how to have compassion for those who are deeply afraid to question their own value systems for fear of losing their foundations and losing their connection to love and safety.
Today let's talk about the tangled web we are in - how those who tell us what to value have a vested interest in us keeping ourselves disconnected from our humanity and what would actually be good for us, why we are so convinced that what harms us is good, why changing our perspective is so hard, and how we can support others in changing in a way that doesn't feel like banging our heads against a brick wall.

Getting off of the self improvement path and onto the self love path is hard.
Because everywhere we look in society, we are TRAINED to be in a perpetual state of self improvement.
We're trained to be in a perpetual state of feeling like we aren't enough, like our pain is a reflection of something being 'wrong' with us, like if we are failing to live up to the expectations of those around us that this means that we are flawed, broken and messed up and we're trained to CONSTANTLY feel like we are lacking something - because this is what keeps our society functioning how it functions.
Learning to understand WHY we have the habits we have, why we self sabotage, scapegoat and numb, why we can't seem to 'get it together' in our relationships, health and careers, why we have emotions, why our thoughts don't seem to help us move forward and why we struggle so much to be nice to ourselves is a MASSIVE key to building a life that actually works for us.
Learning where we don't need fixing, healing or changing, but rather where we need SUPPORT, self awareness and tools to help us EXPRESS and GROW is even harder work.
