Amid another disruption to my life, I am reminded that we each have the power to become emotionally and mentally stronger using chaotic and volatile circumstances. This is a high level way to self-witness how you are doing emotionally and mentally so that you cam make adjustments and grow increasingly calmer and at peace while system-wide disruption is underway.
COVID was one opportunity. The straight line thinking that the current President of the US applies to decision-making presents another.
In the video, I mention box breathing. Here is the audio clip of how to box breathe from my interview with Colonel John O’Grady of the US military. If you don’t like the military, it is OK. We can still learn from the training and conditions military personnel are exposed to.
If you are curious about the military’s approach the full interview is here: https://embed.acast.com/$/5a6fab1455cdce603414631c/uncertaintyambiguity-lessons-from-us-military-with-colonel-j?
The skills, mental disciplines, and sensory practices I share are part of the Revive and Restore program. The recipe is simple. Look after your emotional and mental health so that you can make the best decisions possible and then participate, with others who think differently, in collective action-oriented change, local to global. Phew!
I provide coaching on resilience and beyond for those who wish to be part of something bigger.
