Getting clarity around our story helps answer maybe parts of why you do the things you don't want to do.
Imagine trying to piece together the puzzle of your life, one event at a time. In 'Trust and Life Mapping', Wes Thompson and Austin Hill tackle the art of understanding our past to shape a better future. It's all about reflection and intentionality, folks.
You might find yourself asking, 'How did I get here?' and more importantly, 'Where am I going?' Through the process of life mapping, the episode encourages you to jot down memories on post-it notes, arranging them in a timeline to uncover patterns and insights. It's like detective work for your own life story. The hosts share their experiences with a blend of humour and honesty, acknowledging the imperfect love from their parents and the impact it had on their lives.
They remind us that even a seemingly stable upbringing can have its hidden complexities. The discussion is far from accusatory – it's about gaining clarity on what truly happened to you, whether good or bad. The podcast also introduces body mapping as a tool for understanding significant events in your life and how they relate to your emotional journey. From childhood memories to teenage milestones, connecting these dots can reveal correlations that might explain certain behaviours or feelings.
Wes and Austin explore biblical perspectives too, with references to Paul's struggle with doing things he didn't want to do, which adds depth to the conversation. This episode isn't just about storytelling; it's about empowering you to understand yourself better and make informed choices moving forward. So, if you're ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery, grab a pen and some paper – you might just find the clarity you've been searching for.
