I’m doing some self-development work through the To Be Magnetic program*. It’s brain rewiring through journaling & guided meditations. It’s always been really powerful for me.
This week there was a suggestion that after journaling through the prompts, to put your journal pages into AI and ask it for a summary.
I almost skipped that invitation. Because, well, AI freaks me out. And the rural farming community of my childhood has been literally obliterated to make way for a Meta Data Center. Trees, fields, houses, barns: ALL GONE. Ugh. It feels heavy and shocking and the energy feels evil.
The negative aspects of AI are VERY real for me and in my face. It is deep and painful and personal and makes me think differently about AI than some might.
But despite that, curiosity about what it might reveal won out and I did it. And TBH I do feel some shame about that. Even still. I’m conflicted. But that is another post.
What AI found in my writing was a shock to me. There were a few things that it nailed that I didn’t see.
AI told me that I am not missing confidence, but that I was missing trust. What? I’m usually big on trust. How could this be?!
“Trust that your expression creates clarity—not the other way around. You seem to believe clarity must come first.
Clarity emerges through action, conversation, and experience—not before it.”
WHAT?! I have pointed this out so many times to clients! I KNOOOOOOOW this.
But it was my blind spot in this case.
The fact that I didn’t see it at work in myself was so funny and humbling.
So, my friends, what’s your relationship to clarity?
Do you expect it to come first?
Are you waiting for it before you express, share, act, do?
If you’re struggling with feeling stuck, waiting for clarity, I can help. I mean…I guess AI can too. But it CANNOT replace the human-to-human connection. I stand by that! Again…another post.
It also can’t help us move past insight into action. That’s what human coaching is for!
You can schedule a coaching session here and we’ll figure it out together.
