There are parts of us that we've forgotten, denied, suppressed and ignored.

But they can be the most beautiful parts of ourselves that also have tremendous potential to grow.

Hence the value of being vulnerable, present and curious...

...and open to the possibility of being wrong and surprised...

...and inviting of moments unplanned and exploratory.

See link in bio for a weekly newsletter on how we can expand our minds.

We all eventually want a solution, but we want to be heard first. And without being heard, a solution would be very hard to find.

We continue to develop throughout adulthood. In that process we develop the ability to hold more (and also to let go), with greater space and a sense of peace.

It might be hard now, but we can have faith in our capacity to develop.

Learn how in our free newsletter (link in bio).

We often avoid hard conversations to keep the peace. But we're often avoiding it to protect a version of ourselves that is no longer serving us.

Our latest article explores why we stay quiet and what it takes to step toward a more authentic way of being.

Comment "conversations" and I'll send you the link to the full piece (or find it from link in bio).

Recall an experience of outwardly expressed anger. You may have had every reason to be angry, but how did it affect others? Your relationships? Your long term sense of self and reputation?

If less anger might invite greater calm and more joy in your life, it may be worth looking and working inward.

Read our free newsletter for more (DM "calm" for the link).

As one develops and matures, the less they become attached to being right, and the more open they become to the possibility of being wrong and learning.

We are often quick to see flaws in others but less cognizant of our own. See yourself earnestly, and your patience, compassion and connection with others will grow.

If you want to develop self awareness, I invite you to read my free newsletter (link in bio).

Boredom was a common emotion. Now we avoid it with our phones like it's a bad virus.

But there is much that is lost when we are no longer able to sit with ourselves, free of distractions, stimulations or quick dopamine hits.

As the year winds down and we become centered again (hopefully!), perhaps it's helpful to remind ourselves we can carry that same energy throughout the year.

Decades of research in adult development have shown that our minds continually develop to handle greater complexity.

As you develop, the problems you're experiencing today, become more manageable.

Do you sit in the same seat everyday? Same view? Same routines?

If you want insight and creativity to flow in, change what you see, hear and feel. Your mind only gets more rigid when you are physically boxing yourself into the same old things.

Want to know other ways to increase insight? Check out our free newsletter (link in bio).
