No relationship is going to be very powerful if it's built around this idea that you've like a business contract or something all right. That's where the two of you are hiding certain things to try and bluff and manipulate the other person into making a blunder so that you can take advantage of them and get what you want out of the situation and win.
Ever feel like you're constantly hiding behind a mask, pretending everything's fine when it's not? In this episode of 'Alive and Free', Bob Gardner dives into the heavy toll that 'poker facing'—concealing your true emotions—takes on your mental health and relationships. Bob isn't just scratching the surface here; he's pulling back the curtain on how these hidden feelings can suffocate your happiness and lead to a spiral of worry, fear, and resentment.
He breaks down how pretending to be unfazed in your relationships, spirituality, and even on social media tricks not just others, but yourself too. By keeping up this facade, you're inadvertently sabotaging your own well-being. Bob shares some straightforward yet powerful techniques to lift the mask and operate with genuine authenticity. He discusses how honesty, even when it's uncomfortable, can transform your life.
Whether it's about being truthful with your partner or dropping the act on social media, Bob's insights are a wake-up call to embrace vulnerability. He even touches on how traditional practices, like going to church every Sunday, might not be as spiritually fulfilling if you're not being true to yourself. If you're tired of the mental gymnastics that come with maintaining a 'poker face' and ready to experience the liberating power of authenticity, this episode is a must-listen.
Tune in to learn how dropping the facade can lead to deeper connections, healing, and a genuinely happier life.
