We can create obstacles, diversions, and sinkholes to block our path. These mental, emotional, and physical detours we create rob us of connecting with ourselves, our goals, and all we have the ability to create and experience. It can block our connection with higher consciousness and trust. Identifying how we get in our own way allows us to get rid of automatic cycles and imprinted patterns, creating space for a new highway. One You design.

Leading with curiosity applies to our inner self, emotions, physical body, perceptions, and connections with others as a way of living. By leading with curiosity, it improves our self-esteem and self- concept and regulates and balances our emotions, allowing us to get to the middle of our emotions as we discussed in the emotional ladders episode. Leading with curiosity also improves our physical health and dissolves our attachment to assumptions, expectations, and judgments. This allows space for a connection within and with others full of genuine acceptance.

I've been highlightening the numerous benefits of mindfulness for our emotional, mental, and physical health along with the many ways we can incorporate it into our way of living.
