Greetings!
Right now in our world, adversity is among us. From a global pandemic that has proven to be unlike anything we’ve ever seen to the call for change and justice, I know we've all probably had highly charged conversations, thoughts, and feelings.
As I navigate these uncertain times, I continue to ask for grace. And, I tap into how to be calm so I can show up as the best person I can be to provide helpful solutions. Below are ways that have helped me and ones that have not.
What works:
- Connecting to my heart before I speak
- Remembering that I always have more to learn
- Listening as a superpower
- Accepting others (which isn't the same as tolerating bad behavior)
What doesn't work:
- Leading with anger and hate
- Trying to control or change someone else (trust me, I've tried)
- Blaming and shaming others
- Thinking my answer is the only right one
As I continue to come and speak from my heart, I invite you to consider what would your life be like to listen more, be curious, and welcome the idea that there is another perspective? And then finally, take action from this place by exploring how you can step up and create change you'd like to see.
Whether it’s making a donation, shopping for a loved one, volunteering our time, or using our platform for good, practicing compassion for ourselves and others is more important now than ever before.
With Love,
Rosie
