"Doing The Right Thing" vs Being Authentically Loving

Episode 91         

There’s a world of difference between shutting down our emotions and ignoring our needs to “do the right thing” and being genuinely, authentically loving with our whole being.

In this episode I explain this distinction and share with very concrete experience how differently these two frameworks operate and how only one of them sets us free to become more alive and more truly loving.

This episode is part of a series taken from my 30 Day Instagram Live Challenge where I went on live video to speak about different aspects of the interior journey every day for 30 days straight.

REFLECTION PROMPT
Think about a recent episode in which you felt pushed or triggered. What was your response? Was your response one that was reactive towards your fears and anxieties? Or did you give yourself the space to understand your emotions? Perhaps you acted out of your default scripts, thinking it was the right thing to do. Sit with this memory and try and recognise if there were any scripts at play.
