Is Everyone Always Doing Their Very Best?

In the episode, Daniela addresses a viewer's question: "Is everyone always really doing their best?" She affirms that 'yes', people are always doing their best based on their level of consciousness and available skills at any given moment. Daniela explains that people constantly make choices either by reacting unconsciously or responding consciously.

Reactions often come from an "unconscious egoic structure" aimed at self-preservation, fitting in, and avoiding discomfort. She introduces the idea of "pausing" when feeling agitated, as a moment of pause allows people to shift from reaction to response. Pausing provides an opportunity to align actions with personal growth, integrity, and wisdom. Daniela emphasizes the importance of becoming aware of bodily sensations as indicators of emotional states, urging her audience to allow themselves to fully feel these sensations rather than avoid or numb them.

The practice of pausing and attending to sensations is described as a form of emotional weight training, increasing one's resilience and awareness. Daniela believes that honing this skill of being present with uncomfortable emotions without seeking distraction is vital for personal growth. By doing this, individuals gain access to new, healthier choices they didn't have before. The essence of the video is to empower viewers with the understanding that they always have a choice in how they react or respond to life events. While everyone is doing their best at any given moment, that 'best' can evolve through increased awareness, intentionality, and the practice of pausing.
