027: Healthy Habits Series: Vulnerability
Word of the Week - Stretch!
Topic of the Week: We are continuing our healthy habit series with a very important and necessary habit, Vulnerability. This week’s topic is Vulnerability and Shame. How to be vulnerable in a world that lacks empathy...
Video of the Week: The power of vulnerability - Brene’ Brown
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4Qm9cGRub0&t=125s
Vulnerability is being honest, being seen as imperfect, to put yourself out there. Brown describes Vulnerability as emotional risk, exposure, uncertainty. Most people equate vulnerability with weakness - we explain why that is the opposite of the truth. Often people avoid vulnerability because they see it as a weakness yet when we see someone else being vulnerable we see courage.
Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change. To create is to make something that never existed before. Nothing more vulnerable than that. The reason we are afraid to be vulnerable is shame. The feeling of not being good enough. Not worthy of empathy. We take a deep dive on that.
What Brown's research showed was that the people who had a strong sense of love and belonging were the one's that felt they were worthy of it. They had the courage to be imperfect. They had the compassion to be kind to themselves first and then to others. They had connection as a result of authenticity. They were willing to let go of who they thought they were supposed to be, and allowed themselves to be who they truly were. They embraced vulnerability. To them it was necessary.
Her last quote really sums up why vulnerability is important, “if we let ourselves be seen, deeply seen, to love with our whole hearts, to practice gratitude and joy and to believe we are enough, then we will stop screaming and start listening and we will be kinder and gentler to ourselves and to each other.”
Please share your experiences with vulnerability and tell us if it’s something you need to work on in your life, and we want to hear about tips and strategies that have worked for you. Join us next week, when we continue our healthy habit series with Atomic Habits with James Clear. Remember to SUBSCRIBE and SHARE
