Foreboding Joy

Brene Brown on foreboding joy and numbing ...


How many of you, when something great is happening, start dress rehearsing tragedy.  Like what is going to come take this away...

That is the best barometer to measure your capacity for vulnerability...here's why...

Joy is the most vulnerable emotion you can experience, and if you can not tolerate joy, what you do is start dress rehearsing tragedy.

People who have the most profound capacity for joy, can lean into vulnerability.  Those people who could soften into joy, when something really blissful is happening also got this feeling like whoaaaaaa...but instead of using it a warning to start practicing disaster, they used it as a reminder to start practicing gratitude.
