“Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything.
Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you,
so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.”
--Paulo Coelho
Personal development is often about adding things to your life. Another program. A new routine. A next-level experience.
But the most impactful work we’ve done so far has been about taking things away. Exploring why we react the way we do and un-learning the behaviors that don’t serve us.
On this episode of Destined to Be, we share the work we’re doing to uncover childhood traumas and reshape our belief systems, describing how the coping mechanisms we use as kids turn into character defects later on.
We explain how behaviors that were ‘normal’ to us growing up are not serving us now and get vulnerable about the challenge of replacing our automatic, unhealthy responses with new ones.
Listen in to understand how your thought patterns program your body to react and learn how un-becoming what isn’t really you makes space for who you were always meant to be.
