#124 My Go-To Trick to Handle Anything!
Tuesday Sep 18, 2018
Tuesday Sep 18, 2018
What if a simple energy trick / perspective flip could allow you to handle anything that came your way?
We all tend to lose ourselves a bit in the face of intensity.
Whether that intensity takes the form of anger, judgment, jealousy, other people's expectations or the blame-shame game it can cause us to shrink and doubt ourselves.
We lose our ease, lightness and many of our more generative choices this way.
One of my mentors - Gary Douglas - once said "He who has the most space wins." He was onto something!
When you occupy more space your problems shrink and they lose their intense visceral quality. Other people stop seeming larger than life and more powerful then you.
Your greatness becomes familiar, forward movement is easier, bigger creations are natural as you don't have fixed ideals and images that contract your sense of what's possible.
He who has the most space doesn't react, cower, defend or fight. There is no need for that. He who has the most space creates, lives, plays and enjoys.
He sees all possibilities, has the extra beat of breath to scan for the lightest one and posseses the inner power to move ahead with it without looking back.
Enjoy this episode that walks you through my go-to trick to handle anything - the S P A C E exercise! - along with different ways to apply and use it.
I wonder what will change when you claim your space...???
