Thank you. live a purposeful and fulfilling life. Let's go. All right. Welcome to Episode 689. Hello, my friend. Welcome to a fresh new episode of New Mindset Who Dis, as always. Thank you so much for listening. Thank you for supporting me. And today, an episode to encourage us all to not run from pain in life, to not run from the hurt in life, specifically to feel it. Double specifically, to feel it in your body. We have to allow ourselves to feel it, double specifically, to feel it in your body. We have to allow ourselves to feel the pain,

the hurt physically, and then in the best way we can to let it go. And I'll be specific here in a minute about what that means because I stumbled across the work of Dr. Peter Levine, who he developed a

rather groundbreaking new approach to

trauma and healing by encouraging people to release it physically. But first, a bit of context. I would say

like currently in this year, as a species, we have come to believe that in a sense, we can think our way out of pain in life.

I'm talking about, like, emotional pain, right?

We can think our way out of feeling betrayed or feeling lied to or cheated on or left behind or misunderstood.

Right.

Whatever.

Insert hurtful adjective here.

And the result is we spend a lot of time ruminating on the ways that

we've been hurt and let down and whatever in life. We spend a lot of time labeling it and analyzing

it and trying to like mentally convert it to something else. Maybe good things, right? We try to

convert it into resilience or forgiveness or a higher standard or a better boundary, whatever.

But more often than not, when that's our sole focus, outthinking our pain, the result is we

stay stuck with that pain. And I of course recognize and like it's actually like kind of like

my life's work that we have to be able to sit and analyze our pain.

We have to be able to accept it and to not judge it.
