64 Should I “toughen up” or “soften up”? A NEW survival strategy

When you experience an “out-of-place” emotion, do you: 

1) Tell yourself to “toughen up.” and just “keep marching on”?

Or 

2) Embrace each emotion with gentle compassionate listening and curiosity?

Hmmm. 

Most of us will instinctively respond like number 1: 

Why is that?

  • When did we become so tough on ourselves?
  • How can we get out of this survival mode and start to create,connect and thrive?
  • What if the compassionate mode isn’t so far beyond us?
  • What if you could access it with a little guidance 

Tune into this week’s podcast to find answers to these questions and…experience a practical guided compassion exercise.
