39. My 30 Day Receptivity Experiment

In this episode, I talk about my realization that I've spent most of my life relating to myself through constant evaluation and moral judgment. How my fear of being "bad" has shaped my nervous system and the ways that I've tried to push/motivate myself.

This is why I love the concept of surrender and find it to be so healing to orient myself to it. Not surrender as in being passive, but as being open and receptive and remembering that it's not all on my shoulders to figure everything out in life. I feel like the best things in my life have come through me being open and riding with the flow of life instead of trying to control things.

Obviously when you're constantly judging and evaluating yourself, it's hard to stay receptive and open. I started a 30 day experiment to be more intentional about NOT relating to myself through such a moralistic lens. To not relate to myself like something that needs to be fixed or improved all the time. My intention is to relate to myself like someone who is ALREADY unconditionally loved and valuable and deserving... instead of as someone who I need to MAKE lovable or valuable by whichever actions or choices I make throughout the day.

So this episode is about this intention, this experiment, why I'm doing it, what's come up in the first few days, and how it's been really helpful so far.
