Epic Every Day

The story of the prodigal son should be renamed "Two Lost Brothers." The sin of the older brother is his refusal to hit bottom and accept his father's ways. Hitting bottom solves self-fragmentation, worry, and regret. It's also a reality check. Growth and change get us through life's problems. When we stop growing, we stop being able to deal with problems.

Do you struggle to know when to share personal things? It's too easy to shut off connection by not sharing, but it's also easy to shutdown connection by oversharing. We need to strike a balance between authenticity and vulnerability with good boundaries. If you're worried about shame, it is possible to find the right people to share with and not get shamed—the people are out there!

It's a trap! It's too easy to frame your identity around your attachments in life—to see yourself as an alcoholic, or an angry or passive person. It may feel like mindfulness because you've avoided denial, but it's just another trap. Instead, take the third option: Growth Mindset.

Hitting bottom is a doorway into a more spacious place, and it only takes a second to walk through. However, hitting bottom does not automatically get your out of your emotional hole. It takes intentional work with God to get up and out of the mess, but there's grace for that!

It's time to put the shovel down and admit you've hit bottom! Come out of the pig pen. It's time to accept reality: you still need God's grace. When we refuse to hit bottom, we refuse to see ourselves in the light of truth. We also accumulate a backlog of emotional compound interest, and we're just not made to handle that.

"The whole wave knocks you over, the spray just gets you wet" ~ Tai Chi proverb. Today we're talking about how fragmentation takes away your power and compartmentalization is really hypocrisy. However, there are lots of powerful ways to break out of the cycle of inauthenticity and we go over a few on today's show.

Through faith we're plugged into God, and this is where we get our power. It's like an electric plug—if there's something in between the plug and the outlet, no power is getting through. Or it's like how movement works. Every movement action requires force from the earth—every step forward, every time you lift your groceries, every time you stand up from your desk, etc., etc., is impossible without the earth there to push off of. Our spiritual lives work the same way.

Have you ever prayed something like this: "How do you see me God? What's really going on?" Liz says, "God made you you for a reason. Every moment you spend trying to be someone else is a wasted moment." The best version of you is you fulfilling God's plan for you life.

We discuss the spiritual application of the Tai Chi principle of relaxation. This involves the scary idea of letting go of control, of surrender. There are lots of ways to surrender, but one easy way is to picture the things you struggle to release as being held with an open hand. This is a true representation of these things because we don't really control the outcomes.

Calm is not emotional suppression. It's about having a way out of anxiety when it comes up—because anxiety is part of life. Anxiety comes when we're unsure about the future, when we get too busy, and when those around us sin (we live in a broken world). So calm is a method to move through the anxiety into freedom, abundance, and peace—which is part of our birthright as children of God.
