654 || the weight of the weighted blanket Dec 02, 2022

Show notes

ever look at all the stuff you need to do and feel your ability to do anything about it fully SHUT DOWN? Just me? Finding my fight with executive dysfunction to be a very complicated one, what worked last week has little effect for this one. So instead of life hacking, I am showing up in whatever way I can.

651 || when we're unaware that we're unaware Nov 29, 2022

Show notes

Most people aren't self-aware about how much they lack self-awareness. Here's how to build that:

listen to honest feedback without judgement.
practice pausing between reactions to emotions.
learn how to identify emotions, in real time.
build empathy through diversifying your literature/content intake.
model your EQ after others with admirable qualities.

650 || revolutionary love Nov 28, 2022

Show notes

Josefin Hedlund rocked me with this mind-blowing article: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/transformation/revolutionary-love/ and I had to share it with you.

"Instead of seeing love as some mystical thing that just happens to us, we should follow Bell Hooks idea in All About Loveand see love as a verb. It is a practice that we do, and that we have been socialized into doing differently along gender lines. Hooks points out how patriarchal capitalist society promotes love as dominating, competing and a 'property-style' care relationship. Men are of course best at practicing love in this way, and hooks is very skeptical of how manipulating and dominating is so intertwined with masculinity and heterosexual dynamics."

647 || infatuation with the wrong folks Nov 25, 2022

Show notes

I tend to get quickly attached to people who are emotionally unavailable because it resembles the patterns I am trying to heal from my childhood. The more aware I get of this pattern, the less likely I am to attempt to hold the "wrong" people (for me) to standards they can't/won't/shouldn't meet. You're good enough - regardless of who has made you feel otherwise in your lifetime. Trust me. You're worthy of love. Just don't get lost in the sauce of "proving" that to yourself through the actions of others.
