Feeding the Beast: Confronting Emotional Insobriety with Dr. Vitz and Jon Leon Guerrero
Just because we're unconscious, so to speak, doesn't mean we're not training right. Yeah, in fact we are. We're training the wrong thing.
Ever feel like your emotions are running the show? In this eye-opening episode of 'Levelheaded Talk', hosts Dr. Andrea Vitz and Jon Leon Guerrero take a deep dive into the concept of emotional insobriety. They paint a vivid picture of how unchecked emotions can act like a voracious organism, consuming our thoughts, behaviors, and even our self-belief. It's like having a Pac-Man inside you, gobbling up everything in its path. Dr.
Vitz and Jon discuss how we're always in some form of emotional training, whether we realize it or not. They emphasize the importance of being mindful about what we 'feed' this emotional insobriety. Are we nurturing it with negativity and self-doubt, or are we fostering a healthier mindset? The hosts provide practical advice on how to exercise goodness in our daily lives, urging us to be conscious of the moments when we can either feed or starve this insobriety.
One of the most compelling points they make is how emotional insobriety can be contagious. Just like a virus, it can spread through our interactions and relationships, perpetuating cycles of negativity. But there's hope—emotional sobriety is equally contagious. By being diligent about our mental, emotional, physical, and energetic health, we can cultivate a positive environment for ourselves and those around us. Dr.
Vitz asks us to consider, 'Who are you around?' It's a reminder that our social circles play a significant role in what we consume emotionally. This episode offers valuable insights for anyone looking to break free from the grip of emotional insobriety and build a more balanced, fulfilling life.
