This episode of Question This Life is a solo episode with your host.
Key Topics of discussion:
PART 1
- How much we create a 'cocktail of worry' in our own minds - even from the most inocuous events - learning to spot this and not allow it to take control.
- Update on last week's episode; that moment when you realise the worry you created in your mind and shared with your podcast audience was all much ado about nothing! Which is often the way...
- Observing the things that affect you, writing about them, reflecting on them - and notice WHY they make you feel defensive, negative or fearful, which in turn doesnt allow those thoughts to take hold.
- The ever-present concepts of gratitude, abundance and positive thinking - to overcome doubt, fear and scarceity.
- The concept of your inner child, traumas, worries - and getting past them using new persepectives and growth.
- Progress update regarding the latest comedy shows on stage; enjoying the latest spell of performing, hosting, running shows and working on being myself, finding a flow and finding my voice on stage.
- The process of getting more comfortable with conversing with the audience i.e. 'crowd work' - not always relying on material, but rather concocting a nice mix of both aspects.
- Finally being able to book and hopefully travel to go home, to see close family and friends - the relief.
PART 2
- The feeling of that you're being 'judged' by strangers, or people in a room / environment - when really you are just a spec in their reality like they are one in yours.
- The highs and lows that come with often feeling empathetic, open and agreeable.
- Incorrectly feeling that other people are thinking about you - rather than their own thoughts and worries. Turning this concept on its head - when you observe other people.
- Experiencing that feeling in a scenario where no-one is observing you - as a way to help realise that that these feelings of being 'under scrutiny' just come and go in life, and are not reflective of reality.
- Always aiming to be confident and forthright in the world but also to stay humble, not claiming to know the answers to everything, understanding that we can be wrong, make mistakes - and most importantly grow.
