Empowering Your Inner Sage
Mindset Matters
As I boarded my flight to Miami yesterday for today’s eMerge Americas tech conference, little did I know that the person sitting next to me would be reading a book that resonated deeply with the ideology I've been contemplating lately. The book was "Positive Intelligence," and its message about the inner voice that either holds you back or propels you forward struck a chord with me.
Here are 5 key takeaways surrounding this message:
1. **Listening to Your Positive Sage**: "Positive Intelligence" encourages readers to tune into their inner positive sage, the voice that uplifts and empowers, rather than the inner saboteur that undermines confidence and self-belief.
2. **Inner Voice Awareness**: The book emphasizes the importance of being aware of our inner dialogue and recognizing when the saboteur is at play. By identifying negative thought patterns, we can challenge and reframe them into more positive and constructive narratives.
3. **Empowerment Through Self-Encouragement**: At the tech conference, a recurring theme, especially in messages to women, was the profound impact our thoughts have on our ability to achieve our dreams. When we tell ourselves "yes, we can," we unlock the power within us to turn aspirations into reality.
4. **Choosing Empowerment**: Society often ingrains the inner saboteur mentality, but we have the power to choose to strengthen our inner sage through practice and self-compassion. By cultivating a positive mindset, we pave the way for a more fulfilling and enriching life experience.
5. **Deserving Fulfillment**: The ability to encourage ourselves unlocks the door to incredibly fulfilling life experiences, and we deserve every bit of it. Recognizing our worth and embracing our potential allows us to step into our fullest selves and embrace the journey ahead with confidence and resilience.
Reflecting on the insights gleaned from "Positive Intelligence" and the empowering messages shared at the conference, I'm reminded of the profound impact our mindset has on our lives. By embracing our inner sage and silencing the inner saboteur, we open ourselves up to a world of endless possibilities and untapped potential. It's a journey of self-discovery and empowerment—one that begins with a single choice to believe in ourselves and our innate capacity for greatness.
After marinating in all the fun memories and empowering insights from the tech conference, I indulged in a delightful treat: a honey and cinnamon milkshake. This simple yet delicious concoction perfectly complemented the positive energy I was feeling, providing a sweet and soothing finale to an enriching day.
Here's a quick recipe so you can savor this delightful treat yourself:
