Ever wondered if you can truly change your personality? In this episode of 'In The Circle', Tommy Rosen tackles this intriguing question with guest Brian, who is keen to shed his sarcastic tone for a kinder approach. Brian's heartfelt query about transforming his personality sparks a deep dive into how our thoughts, emotions, and actions shape who we are over time. Tommy breaks down the journey from emotion to mood, mood to temperament, and finally temperament to personality.
He explains that while our personality might feel set in stone, it's actually the result of repeated patterns and behaviours that can be shifted with conscious effort and practices like yoga and meditation. Tommy shares his own experiences growing up in New York City, where sarcasm was a way of life, and how he realised the need to change his communication style.
The discussion touches on the power of words and how they can either uplift or tear down those around us. Tommy emphasises the importance of being mindful of our speech and using practices like a morning routine to reset our mindset and break old habits. This episode isn't just for those in recovery from addiction; it's for anyone looking to improve their interactions and relationships.
With humour and empathy, Tommy and Brian explore the possibility of transforming deeply ingrained behaviours and offer practical advice on how to start this journey. So, if you've ever felt trapped by your own personality traits, this episode might just be the nudge you need to believe in the possibility of change.
