Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

It can begin with a one-time event - typically some form of sudden loss that disrupts our projection of what the future might be. However, the true work of healing is allowing that disruption to wake us from a deep state of unconsciousness, to release the personas we adapted into, and begin consciously piecing together the full truth of who we were meant to be.

We live in difficult times. Life so often seems like a turbulent river threatening to drown us and destroy our world. Why, then, shouldn’t we cling to the certainty of the comfortable - to our deep-seated habits and familiar ways? Because, Pema Chödrön teaches, that kind of fear-based clinging keeps us from the infinitely more powerful experience of being fully alive.

When you're doing something that's out of the ordinary, your mental programing, your paradigm, will try and stop you. If you want to win, you must keep going. Your paradigms may be masked in complacency, fear, worry, anxiety, insecurities, self-doubt, mental hurry, and self-loathing - the result is keeping you stuck...locked in a box and starved of your dreams and ambitions.

Creativity defines the human experience. It sparks achievement and innovation in art, science, technology, business, sports, and virtually every activity. It has fueled human progress on a global level, but it equally is the source of profound personal satisfaction for individual creators. And yet the origins of creative inspiration and the methods by which great creators tap into it have long been a source of mystery, spoken of in esoteric terms, our rational understanding shrouded in complex jargon. Until now.

A lot of great lessons
I loved the overarching messaging of this book. Most thoughts and concepts were new to me, even if I've thought of them before but could never put them into words. I found the audiobook a hard format to follow along with since the whole book is structured as numbered points rather than a linear storytelling - if I paused the audiobook and returned to the same chapter later, I often forgot what the narrator was talking about.
At times I had to stop listening because the narration got on my nerves; the enunciation and inflictions were so strange.

Voices in my head
I expect to listen to this over and over while I go through my day. For whatever reasons the voices in my head have been harsh and critical. These new thoughts to consider and learn about what I THINK of me is gradually refreshing and replacing the old voices that no longer serve me (if they ever did).
Each item in each list is an opportunity for reflection and I've stopped the recording (and the car!) to really think about some of the points.
Generally, it's in the background and my attention cuts in and out. I'm good with serendipity deciding which catches my attention. At times it is subtle, with flashes of humor and deep insight.
I really enjoyed the list format. The narrator's voice - expressive, easy to listen to, and sometimes playful - connected me from the start. Well done!
I recommend this as a less regimented but very effective soft self check in. It is a book to share and discuss with another, or a book club.
