The Brave Table with Dr. Neeta Bhushan

203: Here’s Why Chasing After Happiness Can Be Burning You Out


Listen Later

Hey Brave Table fam! In today’s episode, we discuss the controversial dangers of seeking external validation – speaking from personal experiences and societal observations. Reflecting on my journey of self-marriage in Bali (read as: my Eat, Pray, Love moment), I learned the importance of prioritizing self-love. From the impact of social media detox to the pitfalls of chasing external validation, I explore the significance of setting boundaries and valuing our worth. We explore how to truly embrace authenticity and self-love, and how to prioritize our well-being over societal pressures.


What you’ll get from this episode…

  • Learning about the concept of higher energy and manifesting abundance, contrasting it with scarcity mentality

  • How cultivating a mindset of abundance, rooted in self-love and worthiness, can lead to manifesting positive outcomes in life

  • How taking breaks from social media can lead to heightened awareness of the present moment and deeper connections with oneself and others

  • That true self-love eliminates the need for external validation – when individuals genuinely love themselves, they no longer rely on others to affirm their worth and value.
