22: Know Yourself

In Good Faith

On today’s show, Chong and Dan begin with some special news (which explains why we're a bit late with this one). We then reflect a little bit more on the topic of slack, which really resonated with our listeners. From there, we delve into the practical matter of "knowing yourself" - how do you know how you are going? Dan and Chong discuss four sources of information:

1. What your body tells you
2. What your mind tells you
3. What your conscience tells you
4. What others tell you

What your mind tells you (28:10)

• What does your mind dwell on
• Worry and anxiety - looking to the past (“if only”) and the future (“what if”)
• The inner voice / core beliefs

What your conscience tells you (44:08)

• Your moral sense of right or wrong
• Like pain - don’t ignore your conscience, it might be telling you something important!

What others tell you (55:16)

• Valuable because we can have our own blinders
• Requires giving people permission and willingness to be vulnerable

• Don’t neglect your relationships (A faithful friend, who can find?)
• Go deeper - what are your core beliefs?
