Impossible Without Your Consent

Say Hello

In this episode of Navigate The Day, we explore the idea that our assumptions and perceptions about the world can often be more limiting than the actual circumstances we face. By questioning and challenging those assumptions, we can break free from the "crush of circumstances" and regain a sense of agency and control over our lives.

Through a personal journal prompt, we examine the bad assumptions we hold that hold us back from living a fulfilling life. We discover that self-deception is a nasty habit to dispel, and that seeing our discomforts and feelings as influenced by other people or external factors outside of our control is unbeneficial for us.

We learn that our all-or-nothing mentality and fear of failure can hold us back, and that assuming the worst possible outcome regardless of how likely it is to actually occur is a harmful habit to break. Through meditation and visualization, we can calm our nerves and improve our performance.

Ultimately, we discover that by dispelling these assumptions and perceptions, we can open ourselves up to discovery and learning, and live a free and fulfilling life. It's important to remember that the only way we can be affected by external factors is by creating internal conflict, which only hurts us in the end. So let's break free from our limiting assumptions and live our best lives, because anything is possible with our consent.

Thank you for listening and joining me on my journey of self-discovery!
