Making Up Your Mission


Listen Later

Has anxiety been keeping you from your life’s mission?

In this episode of The Gathering Room, Martha shares that the best way out of anxiety is not simply to calm yourself, but to get creative!

When you take the creativity route, Martha tells us, you get so deep in the process of creating solutions to the problems that matter to you that it becomes literally impossible for your brain to be anxious.

So how do you start living from a creative place?

Martha says the key is getting curious, and to access your curiosity, there are three things that the brain always asks, in this order:

  1. Am I safe? 
  2. Am I loved? 
  3. What can I learn?

Once the brain knows you are safe and loved, it can go into curiosity and start learning new things. And when you realize that you have the capacity to create around anything that makes you curious, you begin to drive your life towards your own unique mission. 

To learn how to feel safe and loved so you can access your zone of genius and create your life’s mission, tune in for the full episode! Martha also guides you through her Silence, Stillness, and Space meditation to calm anxiety and stimulate curiosity.
