Why Numbing Emotions Isn’t Ideal for Progress

“We numb vulnerability. We are the most in debt, obese, addicted and over medicated adult cohort in US history. The problem is that we cannot selectively numb emotion.” Brene Brown

The thought is that by numbing our emotions we numb all emotions even the good ones like happiness. This can place us in a vicious cycle that is certainly no benefit for living this experience as fully as possible.

In this episode of The Hidden Why podcast, I bring back to the show my mate Daniel Van Veluwen. Who is he? Just like you and I, he is a guy just trying to figure life out. Specifically, his interest is within the realms of health. On his personal journey, he has explored the “why” and “how” of health. He has adopted a holistic approach to health in efforts to optimise health and improve overall longevity.

Appreciate The Time Others Give

“Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.” Warren Buffett

I am very protective of my time. It sometimes leaves me feeling selfish. The fact is time is the one resource we have that we can never get more of. Being conscious of this I am aware of how I use my time and how I lend my time to others. Maybe I am selfish.

Summary

The real JB Glossinger – a person just like you, trying to work hard and make a difference in the world. Making many mistakes and have a share of failures along the way. His intentions have always been positive, but that doesn’t always lead to positive outcomes. This matters to both personal and business life.

It was about that same time that he began to learn how to share his message including the launch of his highly rated podcast. (more…)
