You are feeling a bit stale and stuck. Your motivation is wobbly. Time to explore your options you think. But how you go about this exploration might be more meaningful than you realise. This episode explores how to explore.
The episode is inspired by the journaler and author Marion Milner (aka Joanna Field) and the two psychologists behind the self-discovery tool known as the 'Johari Window'.
What would you think if you were invited to explore your options by exploring your unknown unknowns?
What does it mean to explore with 'wide attention' versus 'narrow attention'?
How can you practically use these insights to go on a mini voyage of discovery - a bit like being aboard the Starship Enterprise - but very down to earth.
You can see the video of this episode on my YouTube Channel.
