VULNERABILITY "We've found that across cultures, VULNERABILITY "We've found that across cultures, most of us were raised to believe that being vulnerable is being weak. This sets up an unresolvable tension for most of us, because we were also raised to be brave. There is no courage without vulnerability, risk, and emotional exposure." "In world where perfectionism, pleasing, and proving are used as armor to protect our egos and our feeling, it takes a lot of courage to show up and be all in when we can't control the outcome. It also takes discipline to and self-awareness to understand what to share and with whom. Vulnerability is not oversharing, its sharing with people who have earned the right to hear our stories and our experiences." Brene Brown - Atlas of the Heart This was me many moons ago, being vulnerable. I can't remember a more terrifying experience than singing a few original songs in front of friends and strangers at the local open mic in Seattle. It was terrifying because a) I'm not a gifted singer b) I learned guitar chords as an adult c) I'm in front of people all the time but I rarely share how I feel/personal stories d) I was at an age where it was super uncomfortable to suck at something in public! Maybe there is no age to feel good at sucking at something in public? In the end, I felt so alive and grateful to discover a new way to channel emotions and connect more deeply to myself and others. What story or image comes to mind of a time when you felt courageous and vulnerable? 🥰#vulnerability #vulnerabilityisstrength #atlasoftheheart #atlasoftheheartart #emotionsmatter #emotions😍 #brenebrown #brenebrownquotes #singersongwriter #stage #livemusic #melinameza108

ANXIETY "Escalating loss of control, worst-case-s ANXIETY "Escalating loss of control, worst-case-scenario thinking and imagery, and total uncertainty. Anxiety can be both a state and a trait. The Oxford Review Encyclopedia definition: A trait is considered to be something that is part of an individual's personality and therefore a long-term characteristic of an individual that shows through their behavior, actions, and feelings. Ex: "I am a confident person" or "I am an anxious person" is stating that these attributes are part of who they are. A state, on the other hand, is a temporary condition that they are experiencing for a short period of time. After the state has passed, they will return to another condition. "I am feeling quite confident about this interview" or "I feel nervous about doing this" is describing states. An intolerance for uncertainty is an important contributing factor to all types of anxiety. - Brene Brown - Atlas of the Heart Book In working through the: Place We Go When Things are Uncertain or Too Much section of Brene's book...its time to look at anxiety! This photo jumped out when I was thinking of how anxiety might FEEL, can you relate? I like the distinction between state and trait. It aligns with Ayurveda and the idea that some constitutions (Vata) might be prone to experience more anxiety than those who identify with Pitta and Kapha. I'm guessing we all get anxious from time to time, but not to the degree Vata people do. Regardless of trait or state....there are lifestyle changes that can make a world of difference in a short time. Example: Rhythmic movement (organizes your prana/gets you into your body), less caffeine or stimulants, support team (to get to root of stress) time in nature for perspective and space. Basically anything that is grounding will do. Reflecting on this...may you have a grounded week with healthy food, movement, good company and sleep. 🙏#anxiety #anxietyawareness #atlasoftheheart #atlasoftheheartart #brenebrown #brenebrownquotes #emotionsmatter #melinameza108 #melina_meza_photography #naturephotography #natureartist #eastbayphotocollective #eastbay
