#30 Forgotten Wings: Rediscovering Your True Potential
Manage episode 500695932 series 3634012
This episode explores what happens when we forget our innate power-through the story of a brilliant bird who forgot how to fly-and how neuroscience subconscious reprogramming, and Rumi's wisdom can help us remember our forgotten potential, and rise.
• Alex, a bird who spoke three languages but forgot to fly after a storm, mirrors our human tendency to forget our capabilities
• Many of us crawl through life not by conscious choice but because our brain's survival wiring makes us believe it's safer
• The brain creates neural pathways that become default responses when we experience pain after taking risks
• Our Default Mode Network (DMN) reinforces limiting beliefs whenever we're on autopilot
• Chronic stress hijacks our prefrontal cortex, literally preventing us from seeing new possibilities
• Neuroplasticity means our brains can change at any age through visualization, identity work, and embracing novelty
• Try journal prompts to identify where you've forgotten your wings and what soaring would look like for you
• Use the guided meditation to reconnect with your innate potential to fly
