A Big Question:
"If everyone’s lying, how can we trust anything?"
In a world where half-truths (and full lies), polarizing information (and misinformation), and outright deceit (and fraud) seem to be the norm, it's easy to feel lost, confused, and overwhelmed.
So, how do you navigate the labyrinth of
information (and feelings) these days?
Trust yourself first.
Your intuition is your superpower. You’ve got a wealth of experience, knowledge, and instincts that are uniquely yours. So
when something is presented to you (on social media, in the legacy news, by a friend etc), instead of reacting or deciding right away, pause and ask yourself:
+ "Does this resonate with me?"
+ "Does this align with what I know and believe?"
This simple
practice of questioning is a really solid way for you sharpen your internal compass and make better decisions for yourself.
Also ... consider the source.
Every piece of information comes from somewhere, and understanding that "where"
can change everything. More questioning ... ask yourself:
+ "What’s their agenda?"
+ "Are they trying to sell me something?"
+ "What have they said in the past that has helped me?"
When you understand motives, you gain the power to better discern what’s reliable,
valuable, and true for YOU.
And also ... embrace uncertainty and do stuff.
Life isn’t about having all the answers (or
any answers) ... it's about staying curious, asking more questions, trying new things, and spending time comfortably uncomfortably in the unknown.
Your life is your own weird, wild, and beautiful journey. Test, learn, iterate. Having an open mind, open heart, and ongoing self-experimentation will have you sift the glimmers
from all of the glitter and noise.
Bottom line:
Stay curious, stay wise, and above all, stay true to who you are.
And on that note, I invite/urge you to skim over what I shared in The Wellness Intelligence Collective (TWIC) this past month. There are no lies, no intention to divide, there are no sales funnels, and TWIC is a place where scrolling is good for you. It's where you can ask
questions, network and connect with likeminded humans, and gain resources, practices, hope, and, of course, Wellness Intelligence.
