And that is a really important thing for people to feel empowered around.

You making changes, changes your relationship.

Get curious about what's driving you, why the things that are issues in your life have been following you around.

what it is you'd like to be different and what's standing in your way.

I've got an old Irish great aunt who used to have this fabulous saying, and I'm not going to do the accent, but she would talk about, I can't get out of my own way.

And I think that's so true of something like unbearable feelings, our fears.

where actually we sometimes think, oh, life's hard and it's like this and I'm being held back by this and this is difficult.

Well, actually so often we're the person that is getting in our own way.

So being reflective, getting curious about where in life are you getting in your own way?

Are you being your own worst enemy that you can actually have complete control over that?

In a time of human history when there is not much that we are in control of, we are in control of ourselves.

what's going on and how we relate to the world and the people around us, especially the people we love, how we see opportunities, how we find our way through the world, how we feel on a day-to-day basis.

So being reflective about what's happening internally for us is just so important.

Absolutely.

Yes.

And our thoughts and beliefs have this really annoying way of following us everywhere.

You know, I don't really care how good you are at meditation.

They're then back afterwards.

Surprise, surprise.

And to not think about ourselves as these fixed beings.
