Why Self-Trust Requires Self-Honesty
Manage episode 490450944 series 3458089
We've become obsessed with external data, outsourcing our self-awareness to technology and social media while ignoring our internal wisdom about what we truly need.
• Tracking sleep, recovery, heart rate and social media metrics has replaced our connection to how we actually feel
• The wellness industry thrives on polarizing, black-and-white viewpoints that provide simple answers to complex questions
• Self-honesty isn't glamorous but it's necessary—we all know when we're making excuses or avoiding what matters
• You can't truly trust yourself while simultaneously knowing you're "full of shit" in certain areas of your life
• Stop investigating why you can't do something and start figuring out how you can
• Break cycles of self-deception by asking: "Am I being honest or giving myself permission to fail quietly?"
• Navigate your internal landscape with curiosity rather than judgment
• Acknowledge your capacity to change and take small, gentle steps forward
