Brene Brown: The power of vulnerability

THE WHOLE HEARTED


This video is great... if you are in the mood to think... then watch and get lost in thought.

Notes on Brown's Points:

in common- courage- latin word "cor" meaning heart- original definition tell who you are with all your heart.

compassion to be kind to themselves first then compassion for others

"willing to let go of who they thought they should be in order to be who the are" leading to connection

fully embrace vulnerability- talked about how it is necessary

Ex: say I love you first, no guarantees, invest in a relationship that may or may not work out

Vulnerability the birth place of :

joy. creativity. belonging. love.


When we numb the negative feelings we then numb the good ones. A dangerous cycle where we can't accept our vulnerability.
