Crystal's Notes 11 Oct

We all have certain archetypes of people who trigger our insecurities or get our guard up.

When it happens to me, I imagine a switch in my head that toggles between fear and curiosity. Every time I feel myself getting fearful, I visualise flipping that switch to the “curiosity” mode.

Instead of feeling intimidated, I ask myself:

• What can I learn from this person?

• What are my emotions trying to tell me about myself in this situation?

• What value can I find or offer in this interaction?

The antidote to fear in these situations is often shifting your internal focus spotlight off yourself and putting it on something you can get curious about, and gain benefit from. (If it's a really deep-seated fear, I would always recommend speaking to a therapist as well – take care of yourself!)

Learning to navigate these interpersonal dynamics is a Deep Human skill that makes all the difference in your career and life. If you’re ready to take a deep dive into self- mastery, join us for our Lead From Within Retreat with Dr Harold & Leanne Robers. I ran this retreat a few months ago for my Deep Human Club to much success!

What you’ll learn in this two day non-residential retreat:

Day 1: Resetting Your Inner Landscape: We'll tackle brain negativity bias, identify and shift self-doubt and judgment, and re-centre using Dr. Robers’ powerful psychosensory techniques.

Day 2: Integration: Explore your triggers, soften the ego's grip, and forge an aligned path forward with intentional mindfulness and daily practices. You'll leave feeling more centred, aware, and capable of leading with resilience, clarity, and wholeness.

It is possible to master your nervous system and capacity to withstand life’s stressors so don't miss out on transforming your approach to work and life!

Much love,

Crystal
