DANCING WITH an idea
When laughter, song, and dance are mentioned, full self-expression and joy come to mind. They are energizing and liberating and life-giving.
RETROSPECTING an idea
We can bring curiosity to the process of retrospecting and learn from the openness and clearer vision that hindsight provides.
CALMING an idea
Once we recognize we are no longer the calm, grounded, centered, thoughtful, compassionate human being we usually are (or hope to be), the next step in the change process is to come back to that calm, still place of greater resourcefulness and choice.
CREATING an idea
“When we are no longer able to change a situation we are challenged to change ourselves.” When we are faced with new problems without known solutions, we are called to think and act differently.
TRUSTING an idea
Letting go of the need for certainty is a practice that’s always useful, but especially now. There is so much that is uncertain – Will I get the Coronavirus? How long will social distancing be necessary? When will the kids be able to go back to school? When can we go back to work, or return to working alongside our colleagues? Any and all of these unknowns can be a major source of stress.
