There’s a lot going on. 

Violence, betrayal from leadership, grotesque things happening. I find myself pissed. 

I quickly snap into: what can I do?

I’ve trained my whole life to put words to emotions, make sense of them, use them in highly emotional environments. 

This is a process you can replicate. 

There are three steps: Recognize it (awareness), name it, bring attention back to wherever you want it.

Very little we can do about what’s happening, but a lot we can do for ourselves. 

Take care of yourself and work well with emotions, you have a chance to be there for others. That’s how this works.

Take care of yourself so you can take care of other people. I’m rooting for you. I’m rooting for all of us. 🙏
