You are enough. You do enough. It's ok to feel safe when you are safe.

What we do is largely motivated by what we feel. What we feel is dependent upon what we think. Some of our thoughts are conscious but many of them are sub-conscious.

We all carry sub-conscious thoughts about our self-esteem, control and safety. An emotionally healthy person might say: I am good enough, I do enough and I feel safe when I am safe. A person with significant unresolved trauma might have some messages like: I'm an idiot, I never feel like I do enough, I rarely feel safe in my body. Rather than challenging our internal messages, most of us unintentionally find life experiences that reinforce those hidden messages, whether those messages are helpful or not.

In this podcast, I'll explore the characters of Forest Gump and Otto Anderson (A Man Called Otto), both played by Tom Hanks, to compare and contrast the internal messages that drove Forest to a mostly happy successful life while leading Otto to a very sad angry dark existence.

When we can identify our own personal subconscious messages and begin to change them, we will change how we think, which will change how we feel and how we act. When we have more positive internal messages, we will have a more positive more satisfying life.

You are enough. You do enough. It's ok to feel safe when you are safe.

As always, thanks for taking time to check out my podcasts.
