The absurdities of the first month of 2021 seem to be impacting everyone. The activities we are witnessing/experiencing relate to our global pendulum, which reverberates at all scales. We are a microcosm of the macrocosm.
This is how change occurs: We will be in these large back and forth movements for a while, and we have a choice in how we perceive and live it. One: fear, which results in giving away power. Or two: swing.
When you swing, your stomach is in your head (feed it), and your heart is in your feet (the leading part of each trajectory). It is exhilarating and scary at first. Then, you become attuned to your own movement, both in structure and in surrender.
Also, I dare you to swing, even just a little, and not smile.
Things to feed your head:
SONG: I’ve got Life.
WATCH: “The beauty of linguistic diversity is that it reveals to us just how ingenious and how flexible the human mind is,” Boroditsky says. “Human minds have invented not one cognitive universe, but 7,000.”
QUOTE: We do not think ourselves into new ways of living, we live ourselves into new ways of thinking. — Richard Rohr
ACTIVITY: Find a park, and a swing set, and swing. YOU CAN DO IT.
