5 Ways Curiosity Can Save Your Life

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but did you know that it could actually save your life?
I’m not talking about being curious about how fast a car goes on a crowded street, I’m talking about turning your mediocre existence into a stimulating lifestyle.
Being curious means that you are involved in the world around you. It means that you get the most out of life. It’s curiously powerful.
Most new discoveries in life came from someone wanting to know more. Our greatest inventions and groundbreaking cures all come from taking that one extra look into something new, and trying something different because you just want to know if it will work.
So don’t sit idly by as the world around you is waiting to be explored. Tap into your inner child and reignite that desire to explore every corner and turn over every stone.
Here are 5 ways curiosity can save your life by helping you to live it to the fullest:
1. It helps maintain an active and healthy brain
Curious people are always the ones asking questions and searching for solutions. Their minds never rest. The brain is a muscle that can only become stronger when it is being used on a daily basis. By exploring and challenging ideas, you are building one mean fighting machine of a brain.
“I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived. Curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.” -Eleanor Roosevelt
2. It strengthens your relationships
Being curious about people and the world around you can make your social life blossom. Think about a typical conversation. A person can tell you something, but then typically, you’ll ask more questions to help expand on the topic. That’s curiosity working for you. When you’re able to show interest in another person, they enjoy spending time with you. No one likes talking to the guy who spaces out.
3. It allows you to have new ideas
When you become curious about something, your mind can begin to formulate new ideas around it. Curiosity helps the mind recognize and focus on new ideas so that you can expand on them. If Thomas Edison lacked curiosity, he never would have been one of the greatest inventors of all time. That light bulb never would have gone off. That’s a dark thought.
4. It creates opportunities
By being curious, you will be able to see a lot of opportunities you may not have been able to see before. There is so much hidden to the naked eye. So much that we have to explore in order to truly see and get a sense of. It takes a curious mind to look beneath the surface and discover these possibilities.
5. It builds excitement
Curious people lead lives that are far from boring. Always remaining curious means your time is never spent being dull. There are always new things that attract curious minds. Instead of being bored, curious people have an adventurous life. Who wouldn’t want to be adventurous?
“If you really want to succeed, you’ll have to go for it every day like I do. The big time isn’t for slackers. Keep up your mental stamina and remain curious. I think that bored people are unintelligent people.” – Donald Trump
So by now you must be thinking, “I’m not sure if I’m curious enough. How do I become more of a curious person?” I’m glad you asked. Because that means you’re curious.
Here are a few quick tips to help you tap into your creativity even more:
- Be open-minded: You cannot learn if you are not willing to.
- Appreciate everything: Try to dig deeper beneath the surface of what is around you.
- Never stop asking questions: A sure way to dig deeper beneath the surface is by asking questions: Who, what, when, where, and how.
- Never consider something boring: Curious people see fun in everything.

Failing is More Important Than Succeeding
Failure is an integral part of life as life is incomplete without failures.

People often consider failure a stigma. Society often doesn’t respect the people who failed and avoids and criticizes their actions. Failure is an integral part of life as life is incomplete without failures. Not to have endeavored is worse than failing in life as at some stage of your life you regret not having tried in your life. (more…)

5 Indicators of Unresolved Attachment Trauma

Trauma caused during specific stages of a child’s development, known as attachment trauma, can have lasting effects on a person’s sense of safety, security, predictability, and trust. This type of trauma is often the result of abuse, neglect, or inconsistent care from a primary caregiver.
Individuals who have not fully processed attachment trauma may display similar patterns of behavior and physical or psychological symptoms that negatively impact their adult lives, including the choices they make in relationships and business.
Unfortunately, many people may not even be aware that they are struggling with trauma. Research estimates that 6% of the population will experience PTSD in their lifetime, with a majority of males and females having experienced significant trauma.
Unresolved attachment trauma can significantly impair the overall quality of a person’s life, including their ability to form healthy relationships and make positive choices for themselves. One well-known effect of unhealed attachment trauma is the compulsion to repeat past wounds by unconsciously selecting romantic partners who trigger their developmental trauma.
However, there are other less recognized but equally detrimental signs of unprocessed developmental trauma.
Five possible indications of unresolved attachment trauma are:
1. Unconscious Sabotage
Self-sabotage is a common pattern among individuals with unprocessed attachment trauma. This cycle often begins with hurting others, which is then followed by hurting oneself. It is also common for those with attachment trauma to have heightened emotional sensitivity, which can trigger this cycle.
This pattern can manifest in lashing out, shutting down, or impulsive behavior that leads to feelings of guilt, shame, and self-loathing.
Many people with attachment trauma are not aware of their wounds and operate on survival mode, unconsciously testing or challenging the emotional investment of those around them, and pushing them away out of self-preservation and fear of abandonment.
This can lead to a pattern of making poor choices for themselves based on impulsivity.
3. Behaviors That Block Out Trauma
4. A strong need for control
5. Psychological Symptoms That Are Not Explained
What to do next if you’re suffering from emotional attachment trauma?
There are several ways that people can work to overcome emotional attachment trauma:
- Therapy: One of the most effective ways to overcome emotional attachment trauma is through therapy. A therapist can help you process your experiences, understand the impact of your trauma on your life, and develop coping strategies to manage symptoms.
- Support groups: Joining a support group of people who have had similar experiences can be a great way to find validation, empathy, and a sense of community.
- Mindfulness practices: Mindfulness practices such as meditation, pilates, prayer time with God or journaling can help you become more aware of your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations, and develop a sense of spiritual connection and self-regulation.
- Trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT): This is a type of therapy that is specifically designed to help individuals process and recover from traumatic events.
- Building a safety net: Building a support system of people you trust, who are there for you when you need them, can help you feel more secure and safe in your life.
It’s important to remember that healing from emotional attachment trauma is a process and it may take time. It’s also important to find a therapist who is experienced in treating trauma, who you feel comfortable talking with, and who can help you develop a personalized treatment plan.
