The power of vulnerability. TED talk by Brené Brown

How do we learn to embrace our vulnerabilities and imperfections so that we can engage in our lives from a place of authenticity and worthiness?

How do we cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection that we need to recognize that we are enough – that we are worthy of love, belonging, and joy?

• Sense of courage to  tell the story of who they are with their whole heart,  have the courage to be imperfect
• Compassion. To be kind to themselves first and then to others, we cannot practice compassion with other people if we do not treat ourselves kindly
• Connexion.  As a result of authenticity, they were willing to let go of who they thought they should be in order to be who they really are
• They fully embraced vulnerability. They believed that what  made them vulnerable, made them beautiful: they  had the willingness to say I love you first, the willingness to do something where there were  no guarantees, the willing to invest in  a relationship that may  or may not workout.

Her tips to be authentic are the following:

• To let ourselves be seen, deeply seen, vulnerably seen
• To love with our whole heart, even if there is no guarantee
• To practice gratitude and joy in those moment of doubt, fear and vulnerability
• To believe that we are enough

I hope you enjoy it!
