A little while ago, we had an episode on self-awareness where I emphasized how the majority of what people have to become self-aware of is the good inside themselves. The point felt significant enough to expand into a full episode about how to connect with our best parts.
On this episode of Being Well, Dr. @RickHanson and I focus on how to accept, appreciate, and connect with our positive aspects, and how to deal with some of the developmental blocks that prevent us from embracing the good in ourselves. We look at how the culture we’re in affects our perspective, how to manage fears of conceit, and how to experience more intimacy and courage by releasing cynicism.
Key Topics:
0:00: Introduction
3:00: What gets in the way of us hearing the good news about ourselves?
5:30: Stories we’re told about ourselves that form our identity
10:15: Reconnecting with childhood positive qualities
17:25: Intentions, talents, efforts
23:40: Avoiding conceit and the fear of sounding conceited
31:15: Releasing ideas that human nature is fundamentally bad
34:30: Tribalism
37:20: Seeing the cultural water we swim in
41:10: Intimacy, cynicism, courage
47:20: Cherishing ourselves and others
48:55: Recap

One word. Wow! I'll come back to this one, so much in there so thank you both very much. 'It's very wounding to be unseen' 'Reconnect with your 9 year old self'. A great exercise :)

You two are the real deal. So insightful and even brilliant at times while also good listeners for each other. You bring forth deep truths to share with us, and each other. I love when you two have a little laugh together- so real and hopeful that it possible ,even with all the pain and struggle in life and that you also have experienced in your own lives, to have meaningful and supportive family relationships. You both have a measured, engaging and calm way of speaking and listening which is also therapeutic to listen to and watch.

Thanks, guys! I am going to use this comment practice expressing appreciations! Foremost I like your willingness to *go there* in your sharing. There's so much openness and inclusion in your discussions, I love it! There is a a part of me who would have liked a stronger reinforcement of people's basic okayness and a lesser focus on their wacky behavior. The aspiration, as I see it, is to see beyond people's hot messiness

The recap is very helpful.

Moved by the languaging around courage. Clear self-sight is one of the most courageous of acts. It's hard to see ourselves deeply and fully...and compassionately. Then, to turn that sight outward.
