Vulnerability Looks Good on You
Manage episode 483900455 series 3346970
"Vulnerability Looks Good on You" is from Emerson Dameron's Sophistication Nation. Get it. It certainly gets you.
Vulnerability opens us to perceiving more of reality beyond the mere three percent our survival-focused brains typically process. Despite knowing the risks, maintaining an open mind to life's experiences allows us to tune in to what most people miss.
• Reality is described as a "controlled hallucination" where we're designed to survive rather than thrive
• The courage to maintain vulnerability despite past hurts creates deeper perception
• Comparing rumination to playing a song on a jukebox—having the thought isn't suffering, but repeating the story about it is
• Finding joy in creative pursuits by putting yourself "first and last" during dedicated art time
• Dreams offering valuable insights rather than just "white noise"
• The surprising discovery of becoming a fan of your artistic expression
• Sunday evening plans as a remedy for "Sunday scaries"
