This month’s Wellbeing Wednesdays was all about FITTING IN and how the feeling of not fitting in is a universal human condition – this episode explains how that is, and what to do about it. But first… we missed a month last time, and I spend the first part of the episode explaining exactly why: it’s because I had a stroke! 😱

Here’s a run down of what’s inside:

• Finding relief in simplicity, not complexity

• What it’s like to be without a fully functioning left hemisphere for the day

• The helpful aspects of the left brain… and the less helpful aspects (and how to tell the difference)

• The neurological basis to loneliness

• The link between the programmed mind and personality

• The two distinct ways the mind is rubbish at predicting the future

• The positive side to not fitting in: authenticity

• The futility of trying to push square pegs into round holes

• The common ingredients of an experience of not fitting in that we all share

• The two characteristics that unite every single one of us (i.e. the level at which we truly ‘fit in’)

• Coming full circle to simplicity, and how it holds all the answers we are seeking.
