What does it mean when people say the world doesn't revolve around you?
The world doesn't revolve around you. Have you heard that phrase? Maybe someone once said that to you, a parent or a teacher, someone entrusted with guiding your growth as a human. They meant well, and the intent was likely to teach you social skills, how to get along with others in society, to know your place in the pecking order, and that we take others into consideration, that you're not the only one who wants the thing. Other people might want it too. But it's a super shaming statement with so much emotion behind it. It's really infused with judgment. How dare you actually think that you'll get this thing that you want when others want it too? What makes you think you're so special? It's kind of a slap in the face that quickly can put a child in their place. Message received loud and clear. To think about ourselves is bad or wrong. It's self-indulgent and selfish. something like that.
How does the conditioning affect our self-perception?
And thus, the conditioning continues from nearly every area of our lives, especially for girls, that it's bad to think of yourself. But this is extremely misguided. It's diminishing, misleading, and it disconnects us from our own inner truth, our own personal power. So I'm about to turn your world upside down in the best possible way because yes, in fact, it does. Despite what you've been told, the world does revolve around you. Your world revolves around you and my world revolves around me. And this is the second core concept of my self-centered model. So let's get to it. Hi, it's Hillary. Welcome to the Hillary Silver Podcast. Thanks for tuning into the conversation today.
What is the core concept of your world revolving around you?
If you haven't already, it would mean so much to me if you'd take a minute to just click that five-star rating on your podcast app, leave a review, and subscribe so you never miss one of my episodes. And if you're enjoying this podcast, please consider sharing it with a friend because if you like it, they will probably like it too. Okay, so your world does revolve around you. There are three things to understand about this core concept. First, think about all the areas of your life for a minute, your health and wellness, your body and fitness, your friendships, your children if you have them, your love life, your career, your home, your finances, your hobbies. You get the idea. All of those things are parts of your life and they all orbit around you.
You are at the center of all the things in your life. So yes, you are the sun in your own universe. You provide the energy to all those things. They are all dependent upon you, what you bring to those areas, how you show up in those areas. They all depend on you. If you show up in certain areas of your life with dread, fear, ambivalence, lack of clarity, depressed, anxious, angry, or resentful, those areas of your life will suffer. Whereas if you show up with love and courage, hope, faith, positivity, those areas of your life will prosper. So when there's an area of your life that is not thriving or fulfilling and you want it to be better, rather than focus on tactical things to improve it, Start with exploring your own beliefs, thoughts, and feelings about it. So for example, if you find yourself unhappy at your job, dreading going to work every day, feeling unmotivated or constantly stressed, the first instinct might be to look for external solutions like changing jobs, asking for a raise, or trying to avoid certain coworkers.
How does your energy influence different areas of your life?
But instead, start by exploring your beliefs and feelings about your work. Ask yourself these questions. Do I believe my work is meaningful? Or do I feel stuck in something unfulfilling? Am I clear about what I want from my career? Or am I just going through the motions? How am I showing up each day? Am I bringing negativity or resentment into the workplace? We can get stuck blaming a boss or colleagues or the work environment. And while there may be some truth to those variables not being great, blaming does nothing to solve the problem. nor does it actually make us feel better.
What should you explore when feeling unfulfilled in your career?
And when we believe the problem is external, we may go through the process of looking for a new job and starting over at a new job, only to end up experiencing the same exact situation. So looking at yourself is key, and those questions are actually uplifting and empowering. You can start to change your experience at work even before any external changes happen.
