On this episode Brian Berneman explores why many people wait until hitting rock bottom before making significant life changes, and discuss preventative approaches to personal growth.
Key Takeaways:
- Society often glorifies "pushing through" and busyness, leading to crisis-driven change
- Preventative awareness involves noticing early signals from our body and mind before they escalate
- Creating daily spaces for reflection, connection, and rest can help prevent reaching rock bottom
- Seeking support and creating personalized structures/rituals can aid in maintaining alignment and preventing crises
The Pattern of Crisis-Driven Change:
- Many people seek help only when reaching a crisis point or "rock bottom"
- Society consciously/unconsciously teaches to ignore warning signs and push through challenges
- Common belief that significant change requires a breakdown or wake-up call
- This approach keeps people in a reactive rather than proactive state
Preventative Awareness and Early Signals:
- Connecting with our bodies allows us to notice early warning signs
- Mindfulness meditation helps observe without judgment, increasing self-knowledge
- Understanding inherited patterns from ancestors and culture aids in recognizing unhelpful beliefs
- Prevention is about presence and listening, not control
- Honoring "whispers" before they become "screams" is key to proactive change
Healing as an Ongoing Process:
- Healing is not a one-time fix but an integrated, ongoing journey
- Creating a more conscious lifestyle involves regular reflection and recalibration
- Incorporating ancient wisdom into modern life can support personal growth
- Living in right relationship with cycles, energies, and people promotes balance
- Noticing repeating patterns without judgment is crucial for creating change
Practical Steps for Preventative Change:
- Daily check-ins: Ask "How am I really feeling?" even for brief moments
- Seek support from trusted individuals (friends, family, healers, coaches, therapists)
- Understand that self-care is about alignment, not fixing something "wrong"
- Choose conscious action before reaching crisis points
- Emphasizes the importance of creating space to feel and process emotions safely
