This is a special time for all of us – to listen and see what it is we need to learn. And then use our new understanding and make better decisions going forward.
A short but important message during a difficult time: Shine your light for the world to see. Lets make being human great again. Bring your gift to the world and help make it a better place. We all need it.
Love is always available to us. When the right words don’t come. When we struggle with people and circumstances. Love is always an option. Just with a few deep breaths, we can connect to the love that we all have inside of us. And when we bring it out into the world, we help others find their love as well.
When I think of the moments in my life that I consider perfect, I realize that they teach me something very important: Life is always perfect. I just need to take a more proactive approach. It starts with my thoughts. And when times are less favorable, I can still always find something good.
Life currently is pretty uncomfortable for most of us. Yet, we continually should challenge ourselves and expose ourselves to just a bit more discomfort. I realized than a new challenge, even a small one, distracts me from my worries and makes me feel more alive. Listen to this replay episode originally published as in Episode 467 and see if you can tackle something new that will help you grow.
Somehow we all adopted the new catchy phrase The New Normal, as if it were that easy to just jump from old to new. I think letting go is easier said than done. We grief over what we lost, especially if it mattered. Lets talk about the importance of a transition and allowing our feelings to be present for that.
Hope can sometimes feel overly optimistic. But total negativity on the other hand also doesn’t seem right. Whats a hope that is active and engaged? Lets learn about wise hope. Wise hope encourages us to stay aware and involved, while recognizing our limitations. Wise hope is a good middle ground that keeps is mindful and present.
All this alone time has taught me how to have more conversations with myself. These are more than just self talk. They are actual inquiries into my heart. I seek stillness in nature, and then I ask questions. And quite surprisingly, after a dialog with myself, I obtain answers. These then give me more clarity and direction for my life.
Looking for the positives in a tough situation can be hard. When there is sadness, we need to allow it to be. And then we can look for meaning in the circumstance. We can look at what we have available to us, and what we can do with that. The search for meaning requires asking questions, having a conversation with ourselves, and some experimentation. But that keeps us engaged. And that will take us somewhere and not keep us stuck.
Join me for a deep and mindful conversation with Charlie Rebich, creator of Beyond Polarization, a project that aims to help us communicate better despite opposing viewpoints. In this interview you will learn that conflict does’t have to polarize us. Instead we can learn how to dance with it and thereby improve our relationships. Charlie shares simple mindfulness tools such as breathing and journaling that can help us stay centered when things heat up around us.
We talk about hope, how to remain positive in challenging times, and how to move forward.
I enjoyed this conversation immensely and I hope you will as well.
Does it seem challenging to find an inner connection with ourselves? Our world can be noisy, overwhelming and distracting.
Yet, the direction for our life comes from within us.
