Weathering the Uncertainty

If Chicken Little showed up on your doorstep crying, “The Sky is Falling!  The sky is falling!” what would you say?  Would you jump right in and list your woes and fears, or would you help her change her perspective?  A little gratitude can go a long way toward changing perspective, as can helping others.  As part of my commitment to a Mindful Life Community, I will be hosting a FREE conversation titled “Bridge Over Troubled Water – An Emotional Survival Kit for Uncertain Times,” on Wednesday March 18.  I’d like you to be there!  I’ll provide some mindfulness coaching to help with emotional reactivity.

I’d like to know ahead of time what specific emotional concerns the changing times are bringing up for you.  I’d also like to know how you are being called to Be the Change, to be a contribution in your own community right now.  What mindfulness practice might help you contribute?

    Hi, what comes up for me around our changing times (sometimes) is fear about the way our environment is being cared for… pesticides, pollution, etc. Sometimes I feel fearful , and sometimes I feel optimistic as the number of people paying attention to this grows tremendously.
    For example, I think of Eckhart Tolle and Oprah and what a big impact their teaming together has had…

    Thanks Doris. It is wonderful to see some of our most influential personalities (I think of Al Gore, too) spreading the word about the changes we all need to make. As we grow in awareness, we are more likely to take action that helps protect our world. As we reassess our values in this time of ecological and economic crisis, I think we are likely to see that the choices we’ve made that have created the problems do not come from our deepest values. As we learn to live those values we will automatically be making better choices for our planet’s future.
