Episode notes
Intention Over Resolution
- Set intentions rather than rigid resolutions to align with actual capacity and sustain practice.
- Focus on gentle, present-moment commitments that match your nervous system and life context.
Self Perception Lags Experience
- Our conscious self runs about half a second behind sensory processing, shaping how we experience present and self.
- That delay means authentic action often arises from pre-reflective processes, not the witnessing self.
Let Authentic Motivation Lead
- Allow your authentic motivations to surface rather than relying on filtered self-representations.
- Use curiosity and inquiry to learn what you actually want so you can act from that knowledge.
