It’s an interesting perspective, and when applied to real life situations proves true.

Over the weekend I listened to Shankar Vedantam’s The Hidden Brain podcast episode: Emotions 2.0 the Benefits of Mixed Emotions with psychologist Naomi Rothman. They discussed the benefits of experiencing conflicting feelings. While society often encourages us to pursue positivity and avoid negative emotions, this episode explores how mixed emotions can lead to personal growth, resilience, and better decision-making. Many people view decisive leaders as competent and effective, while people who are ambivalent are seen as indecisive or incompetent. Yet, research shows leaders who are ambivalent seek and take in more information from their team and in turn their teams seek more information from each other. Overall, the team performs better and produces better leaders. This episode emphasizes that rather than suppressing conflicting feelings, it’s okay to feel uncomfortable exploring the paradox of mixed feelings.    A few of my takeaways from my listen –    Value in Ambivalence: Mixed emotions help us process complex situations more thoroughly, encouraging a more balanced and reflective mindset. Enhanced Resilience: Experiencing mixed emotions can boost our resilience by allowing us to accept both positive and negative feelings, ultimately leading to healthier emotional regulation. Better Decision-Making: People who embrace ambivalence often make more thoughtful and less impulsive decisions, as mixed emotions slow down their thought processes, encouraging a more nuanced view of situations. Personal Growth: Mixed emotions can act as a catalyst for personal development by helping individuals to explore and embrace different perspectives. Greater Creativity: Experiencing ambivalence can enhance creative thinking by encouraging us to consider a wider range of ideas and possibilities. This emotional complexity often allows for more innovative problem-solving.

How do your emotional reactions shape the way you show up at work and in life? We’re all aware that our emotions impact how we respond to others, situations, and environments. When you’re triggered by a colleague’s comment, a high-pressure situation, or even a particular tone of voice, it’s not just about what’s happening now. These reactions often stem from past experiences that felt overwhelming when they occurred. Through advancements in epigenetics and research into ancestral patterns and traumas, it is now recognized that the triggers you feel today may originate from your grandparents or even great-grandparents. What you may not realize is that these emotional memories become stored in your subconscious mind. Over time, they shape your thoughts and feelings about how you approach challenges, relationships, and opportunities. They can even manifest as physical pain in your body. In this week’s episode of Limitless, Leonie Hallam dives into the powerful connection between emotional patterns, energy, and how we can release what no longer serves us. She explains how clearing emotional and energetic blocks can transform not only your personal growth but also how you show up in your professional life. Key takeaways from this episode: ✨ Why emotional triggers are tied to past experiences and how they affect your responses today ✨ How releasing these stuck emotional memories can lead to a profound sense of clarity and alignment ✨ Phobias and deeper roots of fears that feel “bigger than us” and how to uncover their origins and release their grip on us 🎧 Listen to Episode 11: Releasing Emotional and Energetic Blocks: Your Path to True Alignment and Freedom.

Change only happens in the present moment. 💥🙌 When you are in an empowered, aware state of mind, sustainable change is possible. When you are in a disempowered, unconscious state of mind, you repeat old outdated habits from your past. As Christine Mathieu, B.Msc. emphasizes archetypes always have a positive and negative side to them. What she has taught me, and thousands of students on her journey is: "Which part of you is making this decision?" "Are you calm, clear, and neutral?" Or... "Are you stressed, rushed, and fearful?" Because money takes on the energy you give it, you are either magnetizing what you desire, Or... Attracting more of what you don't. There is no other way around it. YOU are that powerful! YOU are the energetic! YOU are either the conscious creator of your life. Or... YOU are the unconscious victim of your life. Which would you rather be? Knowing your shadows (+) and (-) aspects of your money management is KEY to creating a secure financial future. Tune into this Episode 8 on the Alive & Awake Podcast to dive deeper into this discussion, and open your consciousness to what your ego doesn't want you to understand. 😉 Apple: https://lnkd.in/eMUcWbBr Spotify: https://lnkd.in/etJRnBQ3 YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eWbnxFVa Thank you Christine for an amazing interview and helping me get out of my victim story! #limitingbelief #unlimitedpotential #authenticallyyou #takechargeofyourlife #journeytoself #soulaligned #shadowworker #timetoheal #beyourtrueself #selfdiscoveryjourney #becomeyourbestself #ownyourpower #soulalignment #soulpath #createyourownreality #findingyourself #traumabonding #lovingyourself #livethelifeyouwant #youhavethepower #limitingbeliefs #moneyqueen #showupforyourself #radicalselflove #makingchanges #youreworthit #moneymakingmachine #traumahealing #innerwork #personalgrowth
