On my ongoing personal development journey, on Thursday's episodes, I now focus on consolidation. Repetition is the mother of all learning, they say. So instead of adding more knowledge, I revisit the previous episodes and consolidate the wisdom imparted by my guests.⁣ I intend to distil and share this wisdom with you in a way that you’ll find something that clicks, something that inspires you to take action as a result. ⁣ We continue with the topic of emotions that started in episode #227. The three levels of emotional awareness, feeling your emotions through, sitting in the discomfort of the ‘ring of fire’ of our emotions, and emotional prosperity vs material prosperity.   I revisit 3 of the previous episodes and share the wisdom of my guests: Chris Marhefka (#136), Sayyedah Hassanali (#148), and Chris Barrow (#103). ⁣ ݆⁣ 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:⁣ * The 3 levels of emotional awareness * Feeling our emotions through and letting them happen * The ‘ring of fire’: sitting in the discomfort of our emotions * Emotional prosperity vs material prosperity ⁣ ݆⁣ 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆:⁣ If you have enjoyed this episode, you will find great value in my podcast’s supporters community.
