If you’re a person that plays full out — whether you thrive on it or you just can’t seem to live any other way — sometimes things can feel hard.
I untethered more neural wiring and disassembled more things I “knew” in the last week than I thought possible in such a short period of time. This Systemic Modelling/Clean Language facilitation and coaching training I’ve been immersed in for the last couple years is full on.
If you want to hold space for people to be exactly as they are and create the conditions for change, you have to do the same for yourself. Since the most recent training ended last Friday, I’ve been recovering and integrating.
I’ve collided with metaphorical walls I’ve been smashing into for decades — but now I see that perhaps there’s a start or ending to the wall. Or a way over it. And I’ve also found within myself astonishing new levels of skill, dexterity and power for good that I didn’t know I had access to.
Now I’m sitting on the courthouse steps in the sun. Just existing. Well ok, I’m writing but whatever.
I’ve got lots of work to do — prep for workshops and coaching calls, write emails and schedule meetings and and and.
AND. Right now, on this Wednesday afternoon, I need to rest and be a human and feel what it’s like to be present in the sun on these steps.
As my friend Jennifer wrote me in a long, gorgeous missive on Friday, “We're all exactly as we are, human beings….”
It sounds so simple when she says it like that.
p.s. don’t forget to vote.
