Episode 36: What are you trying to prove?
Listen on Spotify | Listen on Apple
The other day my inner thoughts were about 10 steps ahead of my body. Have you ever felt this way? I could feel a sense of urgency that didn’t seem to match what I was actually doing in that moment. Once I realized this, I blurted out, “Deb, what are you trying to prove!?” and then laughed at the absurdity of it all.
It prompted me to ponder, what exactly was I trying to prove or accomplish? And, why did it require so much thinking!? Or, did it? This reflection ended up turning into an episode as I realized how many folks I work with have their own version of this experience of needing to “prove.”
I welcome you into this conversation and invite you to consider some of the things that may promote this kind of internal pressure to prove, be good, and/or do better. And, consider ways to find more ease and acceptance of self. Even if you don’t think you have anything to prove, perhaps listen just the same as maybe it’ll offer some insight “for a friend.” 😉
With love and reverence,
Dr. Deb
