The comparison mandate becomes this crushing paradox of “fit in and stand out!” It’s not cultivate self-acceptance, belonging, and authenticity; it’s be just like everyone else, but better (p. 94.4-95.2) “Stay in your lane. Comparison kills creativity and joy.” ~Brene Brown 09/12: Message: Guidepost #7: Cultivating Play and Rest: Letting Go of Exhaustion As A Status Symbol and Productivity As Self- Worth In today’s culture – where our self-worth is tied to our net worth, and we base our worthiness on our level of productivity – spending time doing purposeless activities is rare. In fact, for many of us it sounds like an anxiety attack waiting to happen. (p. 100.7) “Unused creativity is not benign. It metastasizes. It turns into grief, rage, judgment, sorrow, shame.” ~Brene Brown 09/19: Message: Guidepost #8: Cultivating Calm and Stillness: Letting Go of Anxiety As A Lifestyle Calm people can bring perspective to complicated situations and feel their feelings without reacting to heightened emotions like fear and anger. Stillness is not about focusing on nothingness; it’s about creating a clearing. It’s opening up an emotionally clutter-free space and allowing ourselves to feel and think and dream and question. 09/26: Message: Guidepost #9: Cultivating Meaningful Work: Letting Go of Self-Doubt and “Supposed To” “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” ~Howard Thurman Rev.
