What stops us? In <em>Daring Greatly, <\/em>Bren\u00e9 Brown suggests that what holds us back the most is the widespread belief that vulnerability is a weakness. If you can embrace your vulnerability, you\u2019ll find that it\u2019s actually your greatest strength.&nbsp;The following <em>Daring Greatly<\/em> book club questions will help you explore these ideas by reflecting on vulnerability in the context of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exercise: Identify Your \u201cNever Enough\u201d Thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflect on the obstacles keeping you from believing in your own inherent worth and the effect these obstacles have on your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Write down some of your \u201cNever Enough\u201d thoughts. Where in your life do you feel like you aren\u2019t enough? Examples might be \u201cI never feel successful enough\u201d or \u201cI never feel smart enough.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why do you feel this way? Do you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/comparing-ourselves-to-others\/\">compare yourself to others<\/a> or compare your life to the \u201cideal\u201d lives portrayed in the media?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do your \u201cnever enough\u201d thoughts affect your behavior? (For example, do you find yourself trying to hide the parts of you that feel inadequate?Perhaps creating an overblown expression of yourself on social media, or putting a persona on in the workplace?)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do these behaviors affect how you feel about yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What kinds of experiences or activities help you feel most meaningfully connected? What is one new experience you can engage in today that will support your belief that you\u2019re already \u201cenough,\u201d just as you are?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exercise: Build Shame Resilience&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Identify a recent experience in your life where you felt shame and the impact it had on you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Describe your experience of it. How did it feel in your body? What messages did it communicate to you about yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s take a look at this experience again, but with critical awareness. Are the shame messages rational or realistic? Is there a gap between how you want to be seen, and what you think others expect of you?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering this experience further, did you feel willing to engage with others about it? How did you think others might see you if you were to share your shame?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exercise: Remove the Armor<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about your own Vulnerability Arsenal, and how you use it to protect yourself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where do the methods of Foreboding Joy, Perfectionism, or Numbing show up in your life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now imagine you have the power to make a different choice when these defense mechanisms show up. What can you do to create a healthy shift or change that demonstrates worthiness and\/or vulnerability?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for Daring Greatly book club questions?
