Show Notes
In this episode Piers chats with fellow coach Helen Amery. They discuss the common, but misunderstood topic of disillusionment. Usually we think it’s terrible to be in a state of confusion or disappointment about life when in fact these times provide the perfect opportunity to discover something new and fresh. If you’re asking these questions - Is this it? Does it have to be this hard? - then this episode is for you.
We talk about:
- How we can normalise a low level of satisfaction with life and become 'comfortably numb', before we get more aware of being disillusioned with our lives
- What is going on when you aren't feeling connected and loving life?
- How your lifestyle and circumstances are never actually causing your disillusionment with life - it just really looks like they are
How we confuse what is a brick and what is jelly.....(jelly & bricks - yes,really!)
- How we become limited by our imaginations about what is possible
- The illusion of being trapped by our need for a certain lifestyle and money
- How, once we understand what’s going on, we see we have infinite possibilities, including staying with the exact life we already have but with a deeper sense of contentment and joy.
