There are times in life where we are thrown a curveball that takes us off track that challenges are mental, emotional, and physical well-being. This is all part of the human experience and definitely going to cause us some degree of suffering. How we deal with those distractions is where optional suffering comes into play.
Optional suffering is when we resist what is happening to us, we start making up all kinds of stories in our head, and we actually believe our lies (Brain BS ™ )which compounds the suffering dramatically. It can look like beating the crap out of ourselves, others, or just giving into despair in general. It can also be very sneaky and hard to identify at first. We all do it whether we recognize or not is another story. It makes everything worse~
In this episode I share how I got completely hijacked by my Brain BS™ for a few months and how I found my way back to my higher self who loves life again and is eager to support other humans. If you are caught up in your head with beliefs that are not supportive and that bring you down, this episode is just what you need to get out of feeling like a victim of life and back into leadership energy.
