    MINDSET - Our Deepest Fear

    On this weeks episode we talk about a change in mindset. We do this by reflecting on the famous quote, “our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure”. Throughout this episode, we reflect on the difficulties of taking responsibility for your decisions, exercising control over your actions and doing away with the idea that you’re not worthy of your potential.    Key concepts we talked about is the difference between lapses in knowledge and lapses in judgement, internal versus external validation, and automatizing your decision making.     As always thank you for listening, be sure to subscribe on YouTube and your favourite podcasting app. Follow us and like us on Facebook @facebook.com/highlyfunctioning  and if you like our content considering supporting us at highlyfunctioning.me.

    BONUS | How to be Authentic and Feel your Emotions

    Welcome to our first bonus episode. This was a post episode recording but thought it was one of the most important videos to share. The topic we talk about is authenticity and feeling your emotions, particularly on air or in a public sphere. We think it really shows how to have an emotional conversation and we both felt we left the conversation feeling fresh and validated. We hope to provide a looking glass into our conversation so you can use this approach in your own lives. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
