At work, we sometimes react to something and immediately regret it. But, sometimes our reactivity is more drawn out to where we don't even realize we're doing it. It becomes a Below the Line pattern. There are a lot of different ways that this can look, and we are going to explore those today. When you find yourself deeply immersed in these reactive behaviors you don't have access to the here and now and you can't be effective. In this episode, you will learn about reactive behaviors and discover how you can shift back into presence and get back to consciousness. Today, we’ll break down some barriers that we often have against self-love. We’ll also discuss what self-love actually is and what it could look like for you. Self-love is inner work. It's an inner experience of acceptance and appreciation. At the most basic level, self-love is simply asking the questions, "Can I allow myself?” and, “Can I allow myself to be fully here now?" The essence of self-love is 100% allowance of all that is here now. Self-love is at the heart of everything we talk about on this show, and it is at the heart of all genuine, lasting personal growth.
