Courage to be Curious

Courage to be Curious Curiosity is the impulse that propels us toward change. Without curiosity, we become stagnant; with it, extraordinary things become possible. It feels safe.

Join us as we uncover which questions will expand your life and let you live to your fullest potential! Unless every aspect of our lives is exactly as we would wish it to be, Curiosity is critical. Many people have the desire to be more successful, have greater impact, feel more balanced, fulfilled or happy, or experience more meaningful relationships, but desire without curiosity results in persi

stent frustration. As humans, we are biologically wired with competing needs. On the one hand, we are wired to enjoy things that are novel and new; on the other, we are designed to seek security. As kids, our impulse for curiosity is very strong and thank goodness because the rate of learning is huge in the first 10 years of life. During this period is when each of the 100 billion neurons (information cells) in the brain expands from 2500 connections each to other brain cells to 15,000 connections, forming the basis of our brain and shaping how our mind interprets the world. As we mature, the desire for security (and fear of uncertainty) generally amplifies and we become conditioned to the familiar. It also means that regardless of whether we feel satisfied in any area of our life, we will feel inclined to maintain things as close to status quo as we can. Given our biological wiring, if we want to change something, if we want to have more success than we have, feel happier than we feel, or achieve more closeness, something will need to change. We will have to get curious – and this requires courage since change challenges our perceived sense of safety and security.

Let your soul speak 🙏

The world we experience is actually a reflection of the relationship we have with ourselves. When we experience shame internally, we experience shame and condemnation externally. When we feel insecure and vulnerable internally, we experience ridicule, devaluation, and violations externally. And when we feel love, acceptance, and self-appreciation internally, we experience a world filled with miracles, wonder, opportunity and divine guidance.

Consider joining me for Courage to be Curious’ first international retreat where we will spend a week diving deep and exploring the brilliance within you.

BE CURIOUS
BE COURAGEOUS
BE YOU!

The Holiday season is a time when we pause and bring focused attention to the practice of gratitude. Whether with family or friends or in the quiet space of your own walks, journaling practice or meditation, I hope [and suspect] you're taking time to consider that which you are most grateful for.

However, something that may not have arisen in your gratitude practice is an expression of appreciation and gratitude for the divine brilliance that resides within YOU!

Practice gratitude this Holiday season. Download my free Gratitude Journal exercise to get started: https://couragetobecurious.com/product/gratitude-journal-exercise/

Revisiting a few of our favorite episodes of the podcast and "When Things Just Don't Make Sense" jumped to the top of our minds. What do we do when things simply don’t make sense? This might describe a lot about the world we live in right now. In this episode of Courage to be Curious with Adina Tovell, I look at the nature of COHERENCE…How it creates the world we live in. How it can help us re-create the world we live in when we grow and are ready for change. And what we can do when the world feels incoherent, and we cannot make sense of things.

Part II: The Relationship Between Meaningful Connections and Well-Being

What Interferes With Developing And Sustaining Meaningful Relationships In Our Lives? While it is easy to point to COVID as the primary culprit for the crisis I describe in an email, the diminishment of meaningful connection began long before COVID. The COVID pandemic incurred social distancing and isolation in our communities, which made the loss of social connection acutely visible. Prior to COVID, there were four key aspects of modern living that contributed to the problem.

⚡️A shift away from small community living
⚡️Our ‘busy life’ culture
⚡️Lack of modeling
⚡️Connection imposters

Part 1️⃣: The Connection Between Meaningful Relationships and Mental Well Being

What makes a connection meaningful?

When I was a teenager, perhaps like many teenagers, I believed that someone was important if I shared my most important secrets with them and they shared their secrets with me. How awful was a day that I might discover they had shared my secret with others or stopped telling me their most intimate thoughts! In my teenage experience, this is what it meant to have a ‘meaningful relationship’. **Read More on the Courage to be Curious Blog**

🔎Listen actively: Seek to understand their perspective without interrupting or judging.
🔎Identify shared values: Focus on mutual goals or principles, even if the approaches differ.
