The Importance of Inner Work - a podcast by Mike Robbins
from 2017-04-25T07:00
In this week’s solo episode, I explore the topic of inner work and how it relates to our lives and our careers. One of the ways we can bring more of ourselves to the work we do, is to focus on the work we do internally. It is so easy to get caught up in the “doing-ness” of life and business. However, what goes on within us, has so much to do with what shows up around us.
How committed are you to your inner work? Doing work on ourselves and really looking within can be challenging, emotional, and, at times, even painful. However, it is essential to our journey of growth, success, and fulfillment. I recently attended another Hoffman workshop and did some great inner work, which prompted this episode. The more willing we are to do our personal work, the more likely we are to create the kind of life and results we truly want. We are all spiritual beings having a human experience. We are all works in progress.
