Ep 134. I recently had a transformative experience where I felt called to lay down before bed and allow my "higher self" to thank me for all the work I've done up to this point. I had the thought to voice record the process, where I simply talked to myself and said all the things we never acknowledge or validate out loud but need to hear — not from the outside world, but from ourselves. Afterwards, I decided to plug the transcript of the voice recording into ChatGPT… and I was shocked at how valuable it was to not only have this healing moment and my own words recollected in such detail, but to have actual helpful prompts that made this like a therapy session with valuable take aways & homework. While I don't believe that AI should be creating our visual artwork or writing our blog posts, I've found that it can be incredibly useful for self reflection and introspection and I wanted to share the exact formula of how I completed this process, as it was so deeply healing for my inner child to hear these words come out of my mouth. So this week, I'm sharing the exact therapeutic practice that I created (with AI!) to connect with my higher self. If you're feeling called to jump back into a creative flow or are looking for a cost conscious, unconventional tool to help you in your personal growth, this is the perfect place to start.
HERE'S THE JUICE:
Why understanding Internal Family Systems (IFS) can unlock deep healing by finally embracing all parts of yourself
The importance of "talking to yourself" out loud and letting the wise voice inside of you speak with direct insights, appreciation, and advice
How to turn this self-conversation into actionable prompts that will further your mental health using AI
How to build better self awareness and why it's necessary for lasting behavioral change
The hidden power of rest and why it's just as crucial as productivity for person growth - understanding the path that got you to where you are may not be the path that elevates you to your next step in life
What exactly does AI have in common with talk therapy? Could it potentially act as a cost effective mental health tool?
