P.A.V.E. Podcast

In this episode I talk about dealing with insecurities and the feeling of lack. Can negative thoughts be reframed into something positive? How can you feed your mind a different narrative? I'll hone in on things that can fill us up and bring us joy and fill our cup. A book that helped me a lot with this “ What to say when you talk to yourself” By Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D.

The name of this poem is called “Integrated”

Sure..so... that means yes?

I'm impressed, that you don't second guess

My request

To be brave

Open and

Self-assured...

Because these things are in the forefront

My deepest desires are often left unmet, or ignored

The smile of confidence

The positivity

The energy

May all look well, good and sound

I try to show my whole self when people are around

But does no one see what I need?

No matter what I do

I have yet to succeed

Shall I plead to be seen as someone who wants to be reassured?

Doted on, held and so much more?

Sure…

I get tired and weary

Sometimes, I don't think quite clearly

The void in my being, how can it be filled?

I don't know how to fix it, or what even spilled

But whatever it is

It's made clear to me that it will not be refilled easily…

I'll work till I find it

I'll fill up my soul

I'll work till I find it

I will be integrated

I will be whole

Here is the link that i feel gives the best description of the enneagram and how it works.

In this episode I discuss change. I will touch on how we can begin to make changes more effectively. I will also share how I personally tend to resist change, why most people do the same and how embracing change increases joy.

Change

They say from the beginning follow your heart but is that truly the right way to start?

The sequence of order the pattern of time

Can make us predictable and Melancholy like a mime

We constantly complain about wanting things to change

But then we continue to do everything the same

Weighing different options in our head, “oh maybe I could do it like this!”

To just fall back into the same routine instead

Why is it diversity we so dread?

Being paralyzed by something different gives us a life with copious limits

It can keep us from being challenged and becoming our best

Can make us succumb to fitting in just like the rest

Sure going outside your box or comfort zone can be scary

But what's life without pain ,excitement or something daring

When we go out on a limb yeah we have the power to change the flow

Oh man how we can expand our ability to grow

If we don't try we will never know

So let's modify, adjust, revise, refine let's transform

The more we do so, the better prepared we will be for the change in weather for the storms

A book that helped me to understand a bit deeper how to make change is the book " The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg.

Here's a link to purchase the book if you are interested.
