I decided to do today's show based on my recent trip to a secluded cabin. Every time I leave that place I always feel more energized and alive. I wanted to break this topic down, in hopes that anyone who might be struggling, feeling in a slump, or simply wants to feel alive can benefit from my insights. The 3 categories discussed are: 1)Curiosity: Many times we find ourselves resisting fear, and not pushing ourselves to experience growth or simply achieve a new goal. I believe curiosity plays a pivotal role with helping us lean into fear, rather than resist it. 2)The power of isolation and solitude: It is only when we are isolated, quiet and calm that we can begin to uncover our inner truths. I also discovered that physically being separated from loved ones can amplify our deep emotions and connection we have for the people we cherish in our life. 3)Not being surrounded by materialistic objects: When we don't have 'things' to distract our mind we can be present with life. It is only in that present moment that we can truly feel alive, because we are fully engaged (mind, body, spirit). It's also extremely powerful to be surrounded by nature, a living entity that doesn't need material objects to survive. I hope you enjoy my isights, and that they serve you in some way:) Joel
