227: Childlikeness vs Childishness


Listen Later

For most of us adults it’s easy to find ourselves resentful, disappointed, and cynical. The childlikeness and pleasure that we once had seems to have been stolen through our sufferings. We can find ourselves numb and just getting by. What if, however, there was hope to restore the joy, pleasure, and innocence we’ve seemingly lost?

In this episode Justin and Abi highlight how our child self is unconsciously driving our adult lives. They give powerful tips on how to resolve the pain that’s surfacing. They discuss the difference between the childishness we all exhibit and the childlikeness that is necessary to restore the creativity and happiness we’ve lost along the way. 

If you’re looking to add goodness to your life, this episode will give you hope and practical ideas to begin the process of rewiring the way you live!
