In Our Nature
Absolutely everything is interconnected in astonishing dynamic ways that we are only beginning to understand, including our mental and planetary wellbeing.
The In Our Nature explores these connections, along with the unseen but profoundly influential currents, systems, cycles, patterns, stories, and constructs that shape both our inner lives and the world around us.
Why are we the way we are? Why are we treating the world and each other in the ways we do? Why do we feel so rubbish? Is this in our nature? What's going on?
Join me, Siobhán Friel, your host and fellow wanderer, as we curiously fondle the places where environmental, societal, historical, ecological and mythological contexts meet and mingle.
The In Our Nature pod wants to shed light on the hidden connections and deeper patterns that are shaping this extraordinary time we are in, helping us see more clearly as we make our way forth. Come and join me.
In Our Nature
"But My Problems Create My Thoughts, So How Does This Stuff Even Help Me?"
Have you ever been musing on the inside-out nature of the human experience and thought...
"Feelings come from thoughts, so you say? OK. Maybe. But my thoughts come from the problems in my life anyway. So how does all this stuff about understanding the human experience help me?"
If so, me too! And many others. This episode is for you.
We'll cover:
- YAY! My feelings aren't created by my job/partner/lack of worth - they are created by thoughts!
- But wait - my thoughts are created by those things - huh?
- Why it looks like thoughts are created by the outside world
- The habits and patterns that lock us into that
- How to see through the illusion of thought to experience less anxiety and more peace
- The 100% reliable help and guidance you have along the way (your feelings)
- Lots of metaphors including tea bags and taps
- Anxious Alice has something to say
