What's a squirm moment?
The opposite of being in your comfort zone.
Check out this definition:
Squirm: Wriggle or twist the body
from side to side especially as a result of nervousness or discomfort…
Synonyms: Wriggle, slither,
slide, flounder…
Why do you think this might be valuable?
Here's a hint - these moments of
discomfort, uncertainty and open-endedness are the very times that our change
receptors are the most sensitive and our blocks to transformation are the least
formidable…
So, while our natural inclination is to shy away, another way of
approaching these moments is to embrace the opportunity!
DANCE WITH IT! EXPERIENTIAL APPS
An opportunity to
experiment with some fun
ideas...
EMBRACING THE SQUIRM…
Interestingly a lot of new learning is
predicated on the squirm moment! And often
the more a person embraces the experience the greater the result…
Let yourself feel
the squirm - it's not necessarily bad!
Tell yourself that
it is okay to be uncomfortable in a situation - this type of discomfort is an
important aspect of new learning.
Breathe into the experience - we have a
tendency to hold our breaths when we feel squirmy!
Try some fun visualizations
- maybe see yourself as a silk worm starting to squiggle its way out of its restrictive
cocoon…
Imagine the squirm
turning into a dance…
Movement is the name
of the game - to squirm is an attempt to find a new position …
