“Depression. Anxiety. Chronic pain. Phobias. Obsessive thoughts. The evidence is compelling: the roots of these issues may reside in the traumas of our parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. The latest research affirms that traumatic experience is passed on to future generations and that this emotional inheritance, hidden in everything from our gene expression to everyday language, plays a far greater role in our health than ever previously understood.” –Mark Wolynn

When starting any conscious act of improving oneself, the most important place to start is your family history. This genealogy contains clues you need in order to understand where you’re at now and build new mental models that will allow you to spot areas where rhyming is occurring. If you have a better understanding of history, you’ll be able to better understand the “mystery.”

Daily Mission: Find out more about your family history. Ask your parents and grandparents the hard questions about their realities. How do their traumas rhyme with your own?
