If you’re someone who feels that your environment and relationships are hindering your ability to honestly express who you are, learning how to confront them — along with the weaknesses they create — will undoubtedly free you from your constraints. Today with my guest, actress, activist, & health coach Alexandra Paul, we will discuss why most people end up suffering from mental and emotional weaknesses, how simply “coping” is not the answer, and what it takes to truly break free from the pain driven by a lack of authentic expression. And I’ll tell you right now, it’s a raw and vulnerable discussion. Our conversation touches on Alexandra’s own experience of how social constructs forced her to repress herself and why the avoidance of pain causes more of it, driving us into addictive behavior and further weakening our minds/bodies. Join us as we sip MONDAY VEGAN, NON-ALCOHOLIC WHISKEY and delve into the insights that will give you permission to be honest with yourself about where your standards lie and how to use emotional discomfort as an ally for personal performance.
Wise Words from this episode:
- Poisons in the environment — whether they be emotional, mental, physical, or spiritual — greatly affect how we express ourselves along with what emotions we carry. What in your own environment could be harming your well-being?
- Stop and ask yourself: am I actually learning how to properly express (and eventually resolve) my weaknesses or am I putting more energy into simply hiding them?
- Interestingly enough, Alexandra says the reason you become addicted to something often isn’t the same reason you continue to engage in that addiction.
- You’re only as sick as your secrets — if you can be honest with yourself and confront this truth, your ability to find help and optimize personal performance will grow exponentially.
- Take inventory of what you reach for when you experience feelings of anxiety, discomfort, and/or agitation. Is it something negative or positive? Do you feel stuck in a habitual cycle?
- Start savoring things in life. It grounds you and brings you to a place of presence, be it with food, people, even hardships and discomfort. Start catching yourself to see when you’re present in your activities or behaviors and when you’re just mindlessly activated to them.
