Great video: When we numb scary stuff and pain we also numb joy too. Many people numb through addictions (to alcohol, drugs, food, news, shopping, being busy etc). Being vulnerable is key to feeling joy, love and ease of life. Start by feeling gratitude for the ordinary in our lives. TEDxKC talk synopsis: In our anxious world, we often protect ourselves by closing off parts of our lives that leave us feeling most vulnerable. Yet invulnerability has a price. When we knowingly or unknowingly numb ourselves to what we sense threatens us, we sacrifice an essential tool for navigating life.
