Do you think you can get to know yourself by just sitting and thinking?

You'll get to know something... but that something is going to likely be superficial. And something you likely already "know." You'll likely be blinded by what's happened most recently, in addition to the negative situations that have occurred. You'll also be guided by the confirmation bias and searching for evidence that confirms the beliefs and perspectives and ideas you already hold.

So if this is the case, is it a different WAY of thinking that we need to practice?

YES!!

In this 5th video of my 5-video self-awareness series, I share with you a tip for asking questions that prompt ego resistance.

Say what?

Ego resistance! The ego wants to keep you nice and safe and comfy in your illusions. The identities that we believe to be unshakeable are actually really fragile and should be so that we can learn, grow, change our minds, gain new perspectives, open our hearts, get out from underneath limiting beliefs, and rediscover our truest nature.

If you're asking questions that cause resistance and a bit of squirming, you're in the sweet, juicy spot of growth, friends. The ego is being unraveled! Now, this can feel quite scary, and yet when you're ready, exhilarating at the same time. But be patient with yourselves. The point is not to come to certain conclusions immediately. If you do, that's likely the ego stepping in again. The practice is to welcome perpetual inquiry and discovery. Sit with the questions. Explore what comes up. Notice the resistance and or the opening that can occur as a result of letting these Invitational Questions marinate.
