I'm being pulled into supporting and developing a leadership initiative at work, but I've decided to go all in with it. From "Dare to Lead" - @brenebrown, p 13. "...we should never underestimate the benefit to a child of having a place to belong - even one - where they can take off their armor. It can and often does change the trajectory of their life." #daretolead #safeschools #bravespace https://www.instagram.com/p/CTAFHvgL4c9/?utm_medium=tumblr

'All (wo)men are the same!' - No, you act the same with each and one of them, so you get the same results. 'All politicians are the same, corrupt and stupid!' - No, you relate to politics and politicians the same way regardless of the party or the person in power and you get more-less the same experience. 'It's always the same thing with my father/mother/sibling/partner! They dont change!' - No, you are triggered in the same way, you react to them just like many times before and, like a mad person, you expect different results. It doesn't work, or does it? Acting like a badly programmed automaton that commits the same silly mistake over and over; always "tropezando de nuevo con la misma piedra". Disruption is the cure for this silly disease of our time. More importantly, disrupting a pattern is fun! For example, when you want to nag your partner about them leaving the kitchen cabinet doors open (again!!!) just say "potato". Or do a funky dance. Or go take a sh1t. Simply do something different from your usual BS! Observe yourself redirecting the energy from the trigger. Observe your compulsion to right a wrong, to be obeyed, to punish, to control an outcome. Observe it until you are sick of your own robotic impulses and lack of imagination. Then, start wondering, what else? "What else could I do instead of having a tantrum? What other options are available? What do I need to let go of? What voice of mine needs to be heard?" Dare to be a disruption agent. Dare to have fun reinventing your relationships. --- Wanna explore your patterns and disrupt them in a fun way within a brave space? Join me at #taboocafe. Next session in English 23/07/21 8pm UK time.
