Picture Bee Wild. Thanks, Robin!

This is a post for professional and amateur communicators. Marke-tears. Storytellers. Psychologists. Biologists. Neuroscientists. Aren’t we ALL communicators all day and every day?

With words and with body language?

What narrative do we choose? For ourselves, our interactions, and our doing? Our mind is full of bias. The shortcuts in our brain.

We’ve got
Mindbugs

Our eyes play tricks on us.

Our minds fill in the gaps of what we think we see.

But is that actually what’s there?

- The Science of Bias

When you buy a yellow car, you’ll see yellow cars everywhere. Your mind wants to keep you calm in chaos.

It’s biology, brain, mind, microbes, and nervous system.

That’s why it’s good to step out of your comfort zone where your body doesn’t like life so much and where you feel shy, judged, and “strange”. Find a safe space and gradually go into brave space.

Your task in life is to grow.

Maybe that’s our most important task if we want life to be flowy and lean into our intuition for path choices.
