Lecture | What Would You Do If You Got Out of Your Own Way?

Lecture by Volksuniversiteit | Getting Out of Your Own Way
Why you do what you don't actually want to do, and how to break free

Self-adjustment, self-effacement, feeling responsible for everything, struggling to say no - these are patterns many recognize. The more often you follow them, the further you drift from the life that truly suits you. In this interactive lecture and workshop, instructor Briska Smit shows you how to trust yourself more, stay closer to who you are, and act more freely according to what feels right for you.

During the session, the following topics will be covered:
• why you get in your own way;
• how your brain tries to help you, but sometimes works against you;
• how to relate differently to the voice inside you that doubts, warns, or holds you back;
• how to step out of your uncomfortable comfort zone;
• what changes when you dare to trust yourself more;
• what small step you can take towards what you actually want.

You'll do short exercises and self-inquiry questions, and leave with something you can apply immediately. Feel free to bring your own question - that way you'll get the most out of this hour and a half.

Instructor: Briska Smit is a life mirror coach, sensitivity expert, and social leader with over 30 years of experience as a coach and trainer. Her mission: 'Relax the world, start with yourself.'
