Curiosity - The FIRST step to transformation
“When our curiosity is triggered, we think more deeply and rationally about decisions and come up with more creative solutions.” Francesca Gino, 2018
Self empowerment is finding and living to your self-knowing.
Your self knowing is within you already, but to discover it you will need to be brave.
So the first step to self empowerment is curiosity.
And curiosity is courageous.
Layers need to be revealed, seen, felt, accepted, forgiven.
The easy part is going to the place and activity where you can be quiet.
With no audio, no company, no vices.
And
be quiet.
Do not stifle curiosity. Curiosity feeds dopamine, feeling good, and it feeds creativity, finding solutions, epiphanies and inspirations.
Ask the questions:
Where am I feeling discomfort in my life right now?
Where am I having joy?
What do I need to change? What is important to me about this?
What do I want more of? Why?
What advice is myself ten years from now giving me?
What can I thank myself ten years ago for?
Allow the answers to come - do not stifle them, judge them or reject them.
Audio record or scribe the answers, epiphanies, actions.
Create a daily question:
How do I want to feel today?
How do I need to feel today?
What do I need to do today that will bring me joy? Achievement? Connection? [insert value]? 😊
