How to Get to Know Yourself in 5 Fool-Proof Steps

August 13, 2014 by Farnoosh Brock

Knowing yourself

Living a lie comes out sooner or later.

The day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ~Anais Nin

When I read this quote first, I felt something tighten in my heart.

I was still at my corporate job in a past life, living in total conflict with my core values, and still denying the reality of the situation. It took a simple phrase to snap me out of my coma and help me see how I had created my own agony: By denying who I am.

And for what? So I could go on being someone else to impress people I don’t care about for reasons that don’t matter? It isn’t worth living a lie and being untrue to who you are, no matter how crazy, how eccentric, how uncommon, how different you may be.

You are who you are. The earlier in life you accept this and get on with it, the easier and sweeter you shall live out your days.

Let’s start embracing it instead of hiding it under the covers.

As for me, when the lie became so blatantly obvious, I accepted who I am, quit my cushy job, started my online business, created my dream lifestyle and have never looked back.

A secret I didn’t even know: You won’t miss the lie you are living, because living true to yourself is the real paradise.

This kickstarted the beginning of a self-discovery journey that I share with you here: How to get to know yourself and how to have the courage to live life as exactly who you were meant to be, being true to your core values, and coming to peace with it all.

How well do you know yourself? Ready to find out?

First, I invite you to answer these 29 questions to discover the real you.

Reminder: You can still grab The Positive Affirmations for Life program with more than 4 hours of audio affirmations for 7 life situations that impact your happiness and success the most.

How to End the Agony of Indecision: The One Question to Ask

May 20, 2013 by Farnoosh Brock

The Agony of Feeling Indecisive

Indecisive. The inability – or the temporary paralysis – to decide when presented with more than one choice.

Have you ever felt indecisive?

It Is Agonizing!

It is like an itch that you cannot scratch, one that keeps you from doing anything else until you make your decision and move on. [Read more…] about How to End the Agony of Indecision: The One Question to Ask

Welcome back to Episode #90. This Interactive Interview Series brings you a second expert on using your vocal instrument, your voice, and your best asset in all the communication in your life. Our guest is Marlena Reigh.

We visited an excellent topic in the communication power “toolbox” a few weeks ago – using our instrument, our voice with Sally Morgan and today, I want to revisit that with another fresh perspective with another expert on the topic, Marlena Reigh. I watched a talk Marlena had given on video where she used a powerful and creative approach to bring my attention immediately to my voice. I was instantly intrigued me to invite her to the show to learn more about becoming aware and better using our voice. [Read more…] about Episode 90: Becoming Aware of Your Voice with Marlena Reigh

Episode 66: Knowing When to Probe in the Right Manner and Spirit

October 26, 2012 by Farnoosh Brock

Hello Kitty Boo

Welcome back to Episode #66 of The Daily Interaction podcast. I just love it when one of my listeners sends in a request, so thank you dear Tamkara from Nigeria for asking me to talk about this topic: how do you know when to stay out of it and when to pry to find out more about a problem that your friends, family, colleagues, or peers are having. You know you care about them but how do you show you care without coming across as nosy.

Got a topic you want me to talk about on the podcast? Tell me about it by leaving a comment or an email. [Read more…] about Episode 66: Knowing When to Probe in the Right Manner and Spirit
