S1 Ep05 - Creating an Empowered Experience

In everything we do, we can feel lit up and feel meaning ... or we can feel a sense of obligation, victimhood, discouragement. The difference is how we're relating to what we're doing — in an empowered or disempowered way.

In this episode, Leo looks at how to create a new, empowered relationship to your purpose project.

Topics Covered

• The concept of empowered versus disempowered relationships with one's projects and work
• Empowered relationships involve feeling excited, lit up, and capable, while disempowered relationships are marked by fear, resistance, and self-doubt
• How to examine their disempowered feelings and identify fears such as being judged, inadequate, or embarrassed
• Examples of empowering contexts, including play, service, leadership, art, love, compassion, wonder, adventure, and curiosity, to help shift the relationship with one's projects
• How to choose an empowering context and practice it consistently
• The need for continuous practice and self-compassion when transitioning from a disempowered to an empowered relationship
• How Leo is applying an empowered relationship to his project — working on his grandmother's book
