The Healing Insight Podcast

Commitment

In this episode, Sarah and Jez explore Commitment and what it means to each of them. They discuss whether what we desire in our life affects our commitment. They also look at situations where others push you to complete something or achieve something and explore where the commitment comes from and whether other people just need to be supportive rather than making us feel we have to do something.
They also explore the idea that commitment to ourselves and being the best we can be may be where commitment needs to start from, and that when we do that and then ensure we are serving ourselves and doing everything for our highest good, we will be in flow and having the experiences that we need to have in order to grow. 

Being Impulsive

In this episode, Sarah and Jez explore being impulsive and if, when we are being impulsive, we are in our heads or our hearts. They discuss how your inner knowing/intuition helps you to know what is right for you and suggest that being impulsive from the heart may be our natural ‘inflow’ state. 
They discuss how we are always given warning signs when we aren't listening or allowing ourselves to learn the lesson, but that we may choose not to see those signs, or not be ready to see them. They also remind us that there is always something to learn from every given situation. 
They also look at whether we actually need the willingness to learn in order to empower us to make changes and remind us that our lessons help us to grow, so being impulsive may help us to learn an important lesson more quickly. 

Stepping Into Flow

In this episode, Sarah and Jez start the New Year by looking at the importance of stepping into flow and how when things aren't flowing it's an indication that something may need to be addressed. Listening to our hearts helps us to know what is correct for us and so keeps us in flow. They discuss how objectives need to be fluid as it is the journey that is important so that you grow, rather than the final destination.
They talk about how objectives may need to change because you or your circumstances have changed.  They also discuss how when you are too focused on the objective you may miss opportunities and possibilities that may be better for you. Sarah and Jez also look at how important it is to be aware of what and how you think and how that can have a bearing on your ability to stay in flow. They discuss techniques that can help you to switch off the conscious mind and the chatter so that you can go within more easily to discover the answers that you are looking for and so be able to move forward with ease.

Review Of The Year - 2022

In this episode, Sarah and Jez review the key topics that have come up since they started doing these podcasts in February 22 and look at how everything is linked.

Curiosity

In this episode, Sarah and Jez explore how we need to be curious but we need to use curiosity in a constructive way to help us on our journey of self-discovery. They discuss how it is important to be curious and question things without going down an analytical pathway, as that pushes us out of our hearts and into our heads. They remind us how questioning things helps us to learn, especially if we find ourselves in victim or persecutor mode as it can help us to discover why we are feeling the way we are so that we can address the issues.

Dealing With Drama

In this episode, Sarah and Jez discuss how easy it is to get involved in drama that isn’t ours. They look at the Karpman Drama Triangle to give some insight into the different roles that we take on when drama is going on and how we can make a shift into the more positive Winners Triangle (Choy 1990) to help us to respond to situations rather than react, so taking the drama out of the drama. 

Self-Serving vs Selfish

In this episode, Sarah and J explore what being self-serving means and how important it is. They look at how when you are doing what's important for you and what is for your highest good you aren't being selfish, you are serving your own needs and so ensuring that you are doing what is going to make you happy. They discuss the importance of doing things to recharge ourselves and how important it is to take responsibility for ourselves and our own needs.

Gratitude

In this episode, Sarah and Jez look at how having gratitude not just for things/experiences for yourself but also for the positive effect they can have on others helps to keep you in a positive mindset. They discuss that all of us have things/experiences/relationships to be grateful for and that gratitude is a state of being that comes from within. They suggest some ways of helping us to be more aware of being grateful so that we can make gratitude a habit. 

Taking Things At Face Value

In this episode, Sarah and Jez explore how it is important to take things/people at face value from a place of love without judgement, yet having awareness that may alert you to things not being quite as they seem. As they discuss it often takes time to see beyond what is initially presented to us but it is our choice as to how we respond. Being your authentic self at all times is important and that doesn't mean that we necessarily tell our complete story to someone that we have only just met but we do our best to be loving, non-judgemental and compassionate in all situations.
Withholding information is not necessarily a bad thing as we need to feel safe to present information that may make us feel vulnerable. Putting a mask on to hide who we are is different from the roles that each of us plays in our day-to-day lives and often when we feel we need to put a mask on, the person we are deceiving the most is ourself and we need to go inwards to discover what it is we need to address. 

Risk Taking

In this episode, Sarah and Jez explore risk-taking and discuss how we assess risk all of the time. They look at how our reference points from our previous experiences affect our perception of risk and so may affect whether we are willing to take a risk or not. They also discuss how our perceived fear of an outcome may stop us from taking risks so it is important to ask ourselves, "What is it that is stopping me from taking a risk/leap of faith and allowing myself to move forward?"
Risk-taking is often mostly thought of as being when we are looking at taking a perceived big risk, but just crossing the road presents us with risk that we assess regularly. They remind us of how we are responsible for the risks we choose to take and how the majority of risks that we take are not irreversible - if we don't get the desired outcome, we can reassess the situation and make other choices in order to get to the desired outcome.
