If it doesn’t feel right, then it probably isn’t…
Your body knows best.
Have you ever thought about doing something but didn’t because you were afraid of what others would say?
That’s fear of judgment, when you feel like you SHOULD do something, rather than what you truly want to do.
Well Gianna Biscontini reached a point where she had 0 f@*ks left to give to anyone else. She started listening to her internal wisdom and quit caring what others thought.
Key Takeaways
- If it feels wrong, accept that you are on the wrong mountain, don’t fight it. No matter what you think you “should” be feeling about it or how others are telling you to feel about it.
- Conduct mini experiments and put yourself out there to try. Truly listen to what your body and inner wisdom is telling you about the experience.
- White space allows for creativity. When you give yourself that calm time, that’s where the magic happens when you are doing something that brings you joy.
Key Moments
{5:54} “I gave myself that space. I took a whole summer, and then ended up. Changing my entire life. I got even more into meditation. I started creating courses for people in my industry of healthcare with high burnout.”
{7:27} “But instead we judge ourselves, right? Oh, I'm not dedicated enough. I'm lazy. I'm not enough. I'm not smart enough. I'm not whatever enough. Instead of going, what's my body telling me right now, this is the wrong freaking mountain. Like I'm, I'm going the wrong way.”
{14:52} “I remember being a kid and being like. ‘Man, being a kid is so much fun. Why don't adults ever smile? Why don't they ever look happy like kids are?’ And as I started getting older, I'd get parking tickets and I had bosses and I had these soul crushing moments.”
{21:23} “We don't live in a world that encourages calm. And so when we have it, it feels very wrong.”
