24. The Energy Behind Things (It's much more important than you think...)

In this episode Jimi gives us some fascinating insights into the energy behind things.

He introduces the idea that nothing is inherently good or bad in this world but the defining factor in making an action good or bad is the intention or energy behind it.

He speaks candidly about how needing validation from others was the driving force behind the clothes he wore and how, after looking deep within himself through a filter of brutal honesty, he realised that he needed to change the energy behind his behaviour and not seek outside validation for the love he wasn't giving himself.

“The action is neither good nor bad, the intention, the energy that drives that action is what matters and to be able to find that sometimes you have to take away the action to be able to see what’s left.”

Sometimes, even innocuous seeming behaviours can be driven from a place of hurt, fear, trauma or lack of self-love, Jimi helps lift the lid on how to identify these and start looking inside so that we can shift the energy behind the behaviour and move ourselves up the mental fitness continuum.
