For sensitive people, shifts can feel monumental.
And it’s SO easy to get trapped in a worried, anxious mind. But I think we’ve spent enough time there, haven’t we? Covid has asked our bodies to slow down, yet our minds keep racing into a fearful future or a non-existent past.
Wouldn’t it be nice to make a shift to get out of the “shoulds, what-if’s, I can’t, what’s next” mind and return to actually being here?
Mindfulness is great, but what I’m practicing now is simple and even more powerful.
Here’s the shift:
Old way New Way
Busy Present
Values Achievement Feeling good is the priority
Work harder Quality of relationships
Competition Collaboration together
Push through Listening to my body
Doing Being
Intelligence Wisdom
Judging Openness to seeing everything
Accumulation of wealth Re-evaluation of priorities
Power Empathy and inclusiveness
