The power of self leadership to prevent burn out
Today, I know that sustainable leadership is not just a cognitive challenge—it is a biological and emotional one that requires caring for the nervous system and the body as much as the workload.
Truth and a way through…
The Zen Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh would say: “invite your feelings to sit down with you and have a cup of tea”.
Under Pressure - Chaos and Compassion
Compassion isn’t easy. It takes work to tune out the noise of the world and re-find that place in ourselves that feels soft and giving and strong.
Avoiding the same old conversation
So how can you escape the loop of the expected? Get out of the head and into the body – out of habits of thinking (left hemisphere) and into present-moment experience (right hemisphere).
Staying positive in an anxious world
Can we consciously simplify?
As we become less able to control the complexity we are creating, the political, economic and social systems become more unstable and unpredictable. We then become confused. And in our confusion we long for and grasp at simple answers that cannot meet the requirements of our complex predicaments.
Practicing Mindfulness Everyday
With practice, it gets easier and easier to choose to re-focus in a way that relaxes body and mind and brings awareness to the here and now. “Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.” Thich Nhat Hanh
