Najwa Zebian on how to build a home for your soul

the reason i called it compassion and not empathy is compassion is empathy plus a willingness to help and that's very important that willingness to help peace [Music] welcome everyone to the mime valley podcast our guest today is a poet not your ordinary poet i'm not gonna make you sit still and expose yourself to to random beautiful poetry because i know you're here for a transformation so this poet is someone that speaks on many fascinating topics but one of the key things that she speaks about is on building a home for your soul and i want to read out a quote from this poet najwa zebian the biggest mistake we make is that we build our homes and other people we build those homes and we decorate them with the love and care and the respect that makes us feel safe at the end of the day we invest in other people and we evaluate our self-worth based on how much these homes welcome us but what many don't realize is that when you build your home and other people you give them the power to make you homeless when these people walk away these homes walk away with them and all of a sudden we feel empty because everything that we had within us we put into them we trusted someone else with pieces of us the emptiness we feel doesn't mean we have nothing to give or that we have nothing within us it's just that we built our home in the wrong place so today with the guide of najwa ziviyan you're going to learn how to build a home for your soul and najwa is going to cover eight ideas that you can dive into to create this home for your soul these ideas will span areas such as self-love compassion clarity surrender forgiveness but the way she describes it is going to be well poetic and life transforming najwa's book welcome home a guide to building a home for your soul came out on june 1st definitely check out the book najwa welcome to mindvalley thank you for having me first because our audience is so diverse the mind value audience is it's not purely american um the audience comes from 200 different countries people are curious about your your your heritage the um your look the name it's exotic where are you originally from i'm originally from lebanon i was born and raised there and i moved to canada at 16. and i actually tell this story and welcome home as part of my journey home to myself thank you so what made you white welcome home my life my long search for feeling like i was valuable that i was worthy that i was important to someone that i was part of something i remember from a very young age feeling like something was missing and and it had to do with that emotional safety of expressing myself and not being told you're too sensitive or you're not being grateful by complaining about you know having certain feelings or i just always felt that something was missing and it was that emotional safety and as a child you don't know how to name that so you just think something must be wrong with me that's how you internalize it and that's how i internalized it say i was bullied in school not having a place to in a healthy way talk about it at the end of the day made me internalize that maybe i deserved that maybe that's the most that i could ever get and one thing about my childhood that you know i believe was very monumental in terms of the way that i shaped my belief about myself was that i lived with multiple relatives because long story short my parents met and got married and canada had five children and one day my oldest sister came home and my dad spoke to her in arabic which is our first language and she didn't know how to answer so my dad said i need to teach my kids their first language so they moved to lebanon and i was born eight years later so there was a big age gap between me and my parents me and my siblings and when my siblings started coming back to canada to pursue education or whatever i stayed back home and lived with whatever relative could take care of me which meant i never had a consistent sense of home i never had i just my home was my backpack it was it had everything i needed so at the age of 13 a friend of mine the only friend of mine gave me a journal on my birthday and she said you should try to write in this so i remember the first time i just sat down to write how i was feeling without having someone say back to me you're too sensitive or you shouldn't be complaining about this or this is too much it felt like the most liberating thing ever and i just came back to that journal so now my home was my journal and i would write about you know feeling like i wanted to feel loved i wanted to feel cared for and you know the rest is history that's when i started writing and then you know when i turned 16 i moved to canada not with the intention of fully moving here i was just coming to visit my family they were all here at the time and the war broke out in lebanon this would have been summer of 2006 and when i arrived here and the war broke out i obviously couldn't go back to lebanon at that time so taking it back to writing when i would sit down to write how i was feeling and my hopes for the future that one day things will get better one day i will feel you know fully embraced by someone or like i actually belong like i matter all of a sudden it was so painful to write about that because on top of acknowledging and validating for myself how i was feeling there was also an attached hopelessness of there's nothing i can do about it so the fact that i was so certain there was nothing i could do about it to change it just made me not want to feel those feelings in the first place so i ripped up my journal and i said i'm never writing again and uh fast forward seven years of living what i described now as a black and white life because i i really didn't feel i was very numb very sad underneath but extremely numb and i just went through life you know i did what my parents wanted me to do in university i followed the path that society told me i needed to follow i was a good person good girl good everything but you know i wasn't really living i became a teacher and my very first teaching assignment the principal walked in and he had eight students with him and you know they were i could tell they were you know from grade one or two to grade eight and he said to me those kids are your responsibility for the rest of the year they just arrived from libya and you know olivia had been torn by war that year and he said it's your responsibility to teach them english it's your responsibility to get them you know do whatever it takes to takes to make sure they're integrated they're included they belong everything and i'll never forget that moment and exactly where we were standing because looking at them i saw the look in their eyes that i knew i had when i was 16 when i first arrived in canada feeling like what am i doing here i don't belong here and something within me woke up and said you need to tell these kids you fit in you don't even need to fit in like you belong here you don't need to fight for your place you don't need to you know shut yourself out so that you could feel welcomed and so i started writing short snippets about how i believe education is about students and for students and the way i just to best describe this is you know when i started writing writing to heal others was okay because it was you know i'm helping someone else but that writing led me back to that 16 year old self of mine who never healed and i started healing her through my writing so i was in a beautiful way helping others heal by helping myself heal and you know a couple years later i self-published my first collection of writings which is that's how it started all of those writings that i wrote about education and feelings of you know i'm not confident enough or i don't belong here or you know if someone was dishonest with me i'm just writing all these reflections and anyone who would read them and it was just you know teachers in the school and my students they would say we need these in one place so i self-published mind platter in 2016 and it was just all that's on my mind written you know served on a silver platter and then i self-published another book got approached by a publisher and wrote sorry my third book excuse me i wrote my third book sparks of phoenix and then a very interesting theme that came through all those books was home and when i was asked to do my very first tedx talk after self-publishing mind platter the theme was it's about time and my the first thing that came to me was it's about time to heal it's about time to feel and the title came to me finding home through poetry and right before i went on stage i had been preparing for this speech for like six months right before i went on stage i just i forgot everything and i said to myself i knew i wasn't the type that memorizes i speak from my heart i i that's how i function in life so i just said najwa say what your heart needs to say so these words that you just read about the biggest mistake we make is that we build our homes and other people it was in that moment that they just came out of me and i remember later that day i went to my hotel room and i started imagining like it's a beautiful thing to say let me build a home within but how do i actually do that so i started imagining the structure of a home and what makes a home strong what makes it last for a long time what makes it safe and what makes it welcoming and so this was in 2016 and the idea was just forming itself in my mind so fast forward to the time after i published my third book now i got a new agent and i was looking for a new publisher i went to new york met with my agents for the first time and i knew i wanted to write a book on you know letting go not just letting go of people but letting go of dreams you had for yourself letting go of certain beliefs letting go of certain identities that no longer resemble you and i was explaining that to them and i said but the title is not coming to me but you know a few years ago when i was talking about building a home as soon as i started imagining the home the title was there welcome home and they both looked at each other and looked at me and said that's the book you need to write so within two weeks i had a publishing deal i had written my proposal like it was just meant to happen at that moment but you see my whole life's journey led me to that moment where mark and tess my agents were looking at each other and saying that's the book you need to write and it just flowed like a river really that's a really beautiful story and i'm so happy through that story because there's also so much to unwrap there how yeah how you became such an acclaimed poet how you you you got over a million fans on instagram you got a ted talk all and it was amazing how all the events in your life lined up to make you who you are today so that was beautiful too to here thank you now you were going to share with us eight ideas to create a home with your soul now i know you most of these ideas are covered in that in your book welcome and so for those of you who find any of these nuggets interesting i encourage you to go to najwa's website or to amazon and get yourself that book but let's start with these eight nuggets of wisdom that you're gonna share so i've broken down the process of building a home within in a way basically welcome home combines storytelling with practical strategies with poetry so it's meant to help you build that home within but not just from a place of i'm telling you what to do it's from a place of i've experienced this this is how i did it this is how you can do it so it's a beautiful combination of feeling heard and validated and feeling empowered to make the change so the very first step is the road to home what road do you need to take to get to a place where you can start building that home within because i guarantee that most of the people listening know everything there is to know about self-love and forgiveness and compassion with yourself and others and clarity on yourself in the world and surrendering to your emotions and you know living your dream but there's a missing piece when it comes to transferring that logic to practice and for me that missing piece was understanding what belief i had about myself that i lived by even though on a logical level i knew it wasn't true about me but i functioned that way and that road that had to be taken was all the way back to my childhood i was speaking to a new therapist and she said to me something tells me that you went through something at around the age of eight or nine that shaped your belief that you are not worthy of being loved and held on to and the moment she said that i tears started gushing because i knew exactly what had happened and i went back to us to the story when i would have been you know eight or nine at the time and i was staying at my uncle's house at the time my aunt's house and um it was the night before a major celebration for us it was like the night before christmas you know everybody gets gifts and um my cousins who i was playing with um all of a sudden they were called by my aunt to go downstairs and i'm i am getting a little bit emotional as i tell this story and i i always get emotional when i tell it they were asked to go downstairs for family time and i was asked to stay in the room because obviously that family didn't include me and i remember just hearing their laughs and their happiness their joy their opening gifts look what i got look and you know as a little kid i'm asking myself internally why can't i have that and the way i describe it in welcome home is that wasn't the gifts or the you know the candy or it was the love it was feeling like i was important to someone and since that moment when i reflected back on my whole life and now how i had been functioning it was from a place of i can't have that whether it was not getting a job opportunity it was because i knew internally i can't have that feeling of feeling valued and and someone saw my worth and that was the conclusion i went to that was the ending of the story that i went to every single time so once i got that and welcome home i say one of the strategies is what is your why can't i have that story like you have to figure that out because once you figure it out you can say it's not that i can't have that it's that i haven't had that yet it's that i don't have that so what can i do to have that because if i walk through life genuinely believing that that is impossible whatever it is i'm never going to see the possibility when it comes my way and i'm always going to follow the patterns in the past that will take me to that conclusion you know it's confirmation bias i'm gonna want to you know prove that to myself so in the road to home you remove the blocks and the way i describe it is it's a roadblock and you turn it into a into bricks that are taking you on your way on your road to the place where you can start building that home the second thing you do is building a strong foundation just think of a house if you do not have a foundation you do not have an everlasting home you don't have something that will weather the storms a place for actual safety so which if you were to think about it in a practical way and look at your own life if you know so much about self-love only when your friends ask you or only when you see something on tv and think oh that's wrong you know that's not self-love but when it comes to your own life you don't know how to you know put that into practice it's probably because you haven't taken the time to build the foundation for me the foundation this is lesson number two is made of self-acceptance and self-awareness those two elements are so important self-awareness of what brought you to this point in your life what made you the person that you are today be aware of the story be aware of all the stories and be aware in the moment of how you behave how you carry yourself how you respond how you react how you internalize things and the second element is self-acceptance and self-acceptance i talk about two types of self-acceptance and welcome home shallow self-acceptance and deep self-acceptance shallow self-acceptance is when you think this is who i am i'm just i don't care what people think of me you know it's it's kind of what you see on social media nowadays where people just say i don't care you know if you think i'm rude i don't really care this is who i am it might be that you are accepting the version of yourself that is a reaction to the world around you or a reaction to what you've experienced up to this point deep self acceptance is all about you it has nothing to do with how the world perceives you a byproduct of deep self acceptance is not caring what the world thinks of you but it's not the goal that's not self-acceptance self-acceptance is you're able to look at yourself as you are isolated from all the labels from all the expectations from all the things that you know you've been made to believe you should or should not do or should or should not be and say i accept myself as i am even though i have flaws even though i have weaknesses i accept myself once you've built that strong foundation when you practice the next elements self-love forgiveness compassion clarity surrender and walking through the dream garden you are not practicing them through someone else's eyes you're practicing them on the foundation of you authentic you self-accepting self-aware you so the third thing and these are the rooms now so we've moved from the road to the foundation now you have self-love that's the first room and welcome home let's recap this so the first the first idea that you said was self-awareness yes okay then self-acceptance and now we're about to get to self-love and then forgiveness yes so self-love and the reason i put it as the first room or chapter in welcome home is i believe it is it's one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself and at the same time it's the most misunderstood i would say because we when we think of self-love we think oh i'm going to take a spa day or i'm going to buy myself something or but self-love is about giving yourself what you need it's about giving yourself what you would give a loved one of yours when they need something so i always ask this question think of the list of people who you love the most two or three people do you see yourself next to those people do you treat yourself the way that you treat those people for example someone you deeply love comes home at the end of the day they've had a bad day do you not ask them what do you need from me right now what can i do for you you make them a meal you go and do something for them that makes them feel loved the way they need it do you do that for yourself because if you don't then that means you don't see yourself as one of your most loved ones and whether you like it or not you should be your most loved person you should be your number one priority not anyone or anything else yes at certain times you need to put yourself aside to prioritize something or someone else but you never ever ever take yourself off of your priority list or break yourself down or show yourself self-hatred to be there for someone else so self-love is all about treating yourself the way you treat your most loved ones and not accepting for yourself what you would never accept for someone you love and that's deeply powerful deeply deeply powerful so some of the strategies that i talk about in welcome home is in in that chapter in particular one of them is switching to self-love mode and just just imagine that you're you know flicking a switch the moment you catch yourself speaking to yourself from self-hatred you just say i'm switching to self-love mode even if it's for five minutes anything that you were saying to yourself say the opposite of it because just like we memorize songs on the radio and they just you know slip off our tongue without us even thinking about them that self-hatred tape that you've been or self-sabotaging tape that you've been playing to yourself is easily going to slip off your tongue because you've been speaking to yourself that way your whole life so you need to change what you're saying you actually have to verbalize it and make that what slips off your tongue not you know you know you the first the first instinct you have when you mess up is sometimes like oh i'm so stupid or or how could i have done that you need to change what first comes to you by practicing saying the positive thing so that's self-love moving on to forgiveness which that was one of the hardest chapters to write because i remember when i sat down to write it i was writing what forgiveness means forgiveness is about letting go it's not about saying what you did to me is okay or what they did to me is okay or that it will ever be okay or that it wasn't bad enough it's simply about no longer giving it power over your current situation your current present situation and moment and i'm sitting there thinking to myself i have blocked out stories from my life where i was treated in such a way that it took me so long to be able to not think of those stories so i didn't even think have i forgiven those people i just thought i had excelled in my career i had broken out of so many cultural religious societal norms and i you know i was really strong at this point how could i where with where i am in my life right now still have something or someone to forgive i couldn't sit with that so one of the pillars that i have in that room and every room has pillars you know because we're using the analogy of a home one of the pillars is having someone or something to forgive is not shameful it doesn't matter where you are in life what you've accomplished the fact that you've been through something that you still need to forgive is not weakness it just means you've tucked it away long enough because maybe you couldn't handle reliving it over and over and maybe it was good for you that you actually blocked it out of your mind for so long so i sat there and i thought of everyone that i still needed to forgive and i just decided the fact that i still have that you know intense reaction every time i think back to what happened means that still has over power over me and i don't want that i don't believe that my past or anyone from my past has more power over my present moment than i do so i started that process and i started making sense of you know what took me so long to be able to just become neutral to the story and say you know what that happened to me it had nothing to do with who i am and it was it was me believing on some level that my vulnerability my you know being naive being young being sheltered my upbringing of you know living in a very conservative religiously and culturally conservative environment like i still believed that i somehow positioned myself in a way to deserve that pain and i had to get rid of that and say it doesn't matter how vulnerable or naive or sheltered or inexperienced or whatever it is it doesn't matter how much of those things you were it still does not give someone the right to cause you pain or take advantage of those things or you know that's one of the people said you know these mountains you are carrying you were only supposed to climb are the most powerful words they've heard by me to me it was like i am carrying mountains that are not mine to carry i'm not the one who inflicted pain i'm the one who experienced that pain and my job is not to make sense of what they did to me or why they did it to me my job is to say i know i didn't deserve that and i know that i have the power to build a life moving forward that should i ever feel that someone is trying to take advantage of me or someone is trying to you know even if someone is dishonest with me or someone just treats me in a way that i don't accept from a place of self-love know that i have the power to say you don't belong in my life this doesn't belong in my life so the forgiveness chapter is one of the most powerful chapters in welcome home i mean they're all powerful but the forgiveness chapter once you're done reading it you will feel that the most powerful person in your life is you right now it doesn't matter what you've been through it's not about erasing the story it's about making peace with it and making peace with yourself forgiving yourself there's a poem right at the end of that chapter that begins with i wish i could go back to the exact moment before the moment i walked out my door that night because i caught myself in a moment where i was wishing the pain away i was like you know if that story didn't happen how good would my life be right now and i knew that was the wrong way to think because there was no way i would become who i am today without having gone through that story without having the way i describe it is i was burnt down to ashes to rise as a phoenix from that experience i would not have been so burnt down or burnt out had that not happened that doesn't mean i say you know it should have happened and it should happen to everybody no but it did there's no point in wishing it away i need to give myself credit for getting out of it i need to give myself credit for healing i need to give myself credit for not making myself a cold-hearted person as a reaction to the coldness that someone else treated me with now we moved yeah so as i'm looking at the comments coming in um i'm seeing people write this is therapy for my soul [Laughter] and so people are really resonating with this uh muhammad wrote definitely wow so the reason why i'm not running this like an interview and i'm not interrupting najwa is because as a poet najwa is very articulate with her words and her story is inspiring and i wanted to just speak to you guys from her soul um but at the same time to take you through um a framework that you can understand so let's quickly recap that framework okay the foundation the foundation to creating this home for your soul is understanding self-awareness and self-acceptance those two are our requirement self-awareness and self-acceptance and then once you have that foundation you are building this home for your solar think of this home as a house with six roots we've covered the first two self-love and forgiveness and we're about to now cover the third room which is compassion now najwa what i find interesting about this is these three rooms self-love forgiveness compassion they mirror exactly methodologies in the six phase meditation which is the meditation model i invented and it's the it's my next book my next book coming out with penguin is called the six face and in this meditation we go through three phases in the beginning and the phases are actually compassion self-love and forgiveness so my work parallel each other in a really yes right i'm curious to see if the next phases if they if yeah clarity surrender green garden also mirror what what i cover so let's now talk about room number three which is compassion and we want to make sure that for the next four compassion clarity surrendered dream garden we we go faster so we have time to fit it into this podcast and again those of you who want to go deeper uh don't worry because you can always get najwa's book welcome home yes so the compassion room is the reason i called it compassion and not empathy is compassion is empathy plus a willingness to help and that's very important that willingness to help peace the compassion room is all about compassion towards yourself and compassion towards the world and so that's why in that room i've talked about how you build boundaries and you know the final step in building a boundary is actually setting it and the reason i use that word build is it's extremely difficult to wake up one day and say i'm just enforcing this boundary because i know it's what's right for me you know that's beautiful but not practical most of us struggle with you know immediate change especially if you're an empath and you really care about how people perceive your actions you want to make sure that you do it at a pace that is good for you in a way where you're not going to relapse or apologize for setting that boundary or you know trying to build it with someone so the compassion room is the room that i say it's the only room where you're allowed to welcome people into your home because if someone isn't walking to into your home with empathy and with a willingness to be there for you in whatever way you need when you need them to be there they do not deserve that welcome and one of the strategies i have in that room is think of if you had a dinner who would be on your guest list who are the people that you would invite because you feel like they genuinely care about you they're genuinely good to you and this is very personal nobody's gonna have access to this list and then i say you know one of those people say they walked in and they insulted you or they insulted someone that you love what would you do you would definitely either ask them to leave or once they leave you don't invite them back so why don't you do that with people in your daily life who insult you or treat you in a way that doesn't show full empathy and full acceptance of you why don't you do that and then the second thing i ask is are you on your guest list when you welcome people into your life do you consider yourself part of that welcome because if you don't if the moment you have someone walk into your life all of your focus is on them and you completely forget about feeding yourself or giving yourself feeding your soul giving yourself whatever it is that you need that's not good you have to be on that list so the compassion room as i said is just it's all about setting proper and proper relatively speaking is all it's all relative to you proper boundaries with the people in your life knowing when to ask someone to leave knowing you know the frequency of how many times you allow someone into your life and a practical example would be say a family member has really put conditions on how they accept you in their life you can choose to see them once or twice a year you can choose to see them whatever works for you it's all about how often am i allowing someone into that sacred space that i've created within so that's the compassion room moving to the clarity room the clarity room is all about seeing yourself as you are and before you move that nachwa yes you got a comment that natasha wrote in a chat natasha samantha member and for those of you who are listening on the podcast members come backstage with me and get to interact with our authors and attend these calls so natasha wrote i love how you speak straight through your heart and soul while also giving us of the framework you use to make it so simple for us did not read the book yet but i'm already excited to roam your house and reveal all the hidden treasures oh that's thank you so much for saying that um thank you for welcoming everything that i have to say um and to your soul so so we have about 10 minutes left um okay recording time and we're going to talk about the next three rooms clarity surrender the dream garden and just give us an overview because i really want to encourage people who want to go deeper because so many people are absolutely loving this so the clarity room is all about seeing yourself as you are and the best way i could describe it to you is if you were to look at yourself in the mirror right now can you actually see yourself if you said who am i can you answer that question i guarantee that you can't because there is a blur in that mirror if you haven't asked yourself that question ever or if the last time you asked yourself that question was years ago what happens is it's like the mirror that's in front of you has been so dusty and so blurred that you can't see yourself and that blur is made of all that society told you you needed to be all that your family your culture your religion your work your school told you you needed to be so you are seeing yourself through that blur and you can't see yourself that way without seeing yourself as not good enough as you need to do certain things that add to yourself or take away from yourself or so the work is all about removing that blur and one of the strategies the only one that i'll talk about in that room is the blank canvas mirror look at your life as it is right now write it all out in detail and ask yourself do i believe that this is how i should be living if the answer is no x that out erase it until you have a canvas that only has the ways the identities the beliefs that you genuinely from a self-accepting and self-aware and self-loving place that you believe you should be living by and living through that's the clarity room the surrender room is all about allowing yourself to experience the emotions that are knocking on your door and i say when pain knocks on your door let it in sit with it have tea with it understand it then walk it to the door because it's time for you to welcome something new don't think that avoiding that knock of whatever emotion it is that's demanding to be felt by you is going to make that pain go away because that door that the emotion is knocking on is not outside of you it's within you whatever you ignore what you're doing is practically speaking ignoring the knock means that you are adapting your life to that noise in the background and that is not a way to live and i also say in that chapter just like your heart just like your eyes adapt to the darkness so does your heart so if you allow yourself to live in a dark space for too long you start believing this is the place i can see you know i can live through this i can i can survive through this that's not a whole life to live that's not full that's not actually living so and one of the other things about that room that i realized as i was writing it is it's not just about the resistance we have and the way of experiencing negative emotions but it's also positive ones and if you have spent your life believing that you need to work hard and experience hardship to get somewhere when a positive emotion comes to you you just push it away you don't even open yourself to it because you just don't believe that you think you're selfish for experiencing it so the surrender room teaches you how to welcome both and how to come from an authentic place in the way that you deal with your emotions heal from them the way that you embrace them and the dream garden is all about living your dream and not chasing it so this is all about your purpose in life it's all about how you define failure it's all about how you define who you are without labels of i do that you know i'm a i'm a jose bian i'm a teacher i'm an author i'm a speaker i'm a uh you know i i help people heal with certain things but who are you without achieving any of that because the dream garden is all about if you are living your life authentically if you are doing what feels authentic to you and you're somehow relating that to the work that you do in life without attaching it to the monetary value without attaching it to you know attaching your success or whether it's a it's the right path to take on the outcome then that's it you're golden then you could you could totally say you know i know that what i love doing can't make me a living but if i choose to do a job to bring in money into my life that serves me living my purpose then i can file that in my mind as this job is serving the purpose of you know fulfilling my dream and so everything becomes it's in perspective for you because you know what every single thing that you are doing serves in your life and that's it and then the last chapter is adapting to your new reality so that's where i talk about how to deal with people around you you know telling you you've changed because now you're coming from a place of i'm at home with myself you know i put myself first i put my healing first i'm authentic i will not be fake in any way how do you adapt to the new reality of now being a person who is at home with yourself thank you so much for sharing notchback and really what you did is you gave us not just a framework but a tour of the book yes when i record these podcasts i like to make sure that we're delivering value i like
