The very first lesson our Chinese Martial Arts instructor taught us was
how to fall…
And the very first lesson our German ski instructor taught us was… how
to fall.
Interesting convergence of wisdom East and West…
If you are in the sport you have to develop the ability to fall!
Here's an interesting way to think about it: Momentum, especially forward momentum, comes
with an equal pull of gravity…
To survive and thrive, part of our job is to gracefully fall and
rebound.
DANCE WITH IT! EXPERIENTIAL APPS
An opportunity to
experiment with some fun ideas...
…ALL FALL DOWN?
So what are some survival strategies when
it feels like the life tsunami hits? Check
out these possibilities…
Revert to age two and
throw up your hands in the air, stomp and scream.
Or…
Take a page from the
book of your favorite sailor and swear up a blue storm, creatively of course…
And then there's always…
Kick something
inanimate…
The idea here is to do something - short
term - to relieve some of the anger we feel when it all falls apart - giving
yourself permission to feel the frustration and release it.
The next step is to
find a way to mentally separate the elements that you need to deal with so that
it doesn't feel like you are under an earth slide.
Make a list with
priorities and give yourself a gold star each time you deal with something even
if it isn't completed.
When things go off kilter we tend to give ourselves a hard time on top of
everything else - to have our internal bully voices triggered.
We need to balance
this by invoking our inner BFF to pat us on the back and smile at even the tiny
steps forward - it's how we build that momentum again!
