This week, I didn’t create a long and eloquent Wednesday Wisdom.
More I could about that, but anyway.
There’s something nice about a TL;DR review of the last few emails . . .
Plan for Peace
We’ve been talking about anchors - a place, activity, person or pet who helps you be in and even enjoy the present moment. It’s ok, even preferable, to have more than one anchor.
Then I asked you to make a first draft of your peace plan - finding or creating moments or chunks of time in your week when you can be with your anchors.
If you’re like me, your peace plan hasn’t made it officially onto paper/calendar app yet, but . . .
On the way to inner peace
Lucky me, but.
I found time to be with my anchors this last week. It just sorta worked out I followed through.
But if I’d had a few more chores to do, an unexpected opportunity or challenge - I also easily could have forgotten to spend time with my anchors or stressfully told myself, “Oh who cares, I’ll skip peace this week and figure it out next week.”
There will be weeks like that coming up, for me and I’m guessing for most of us.
So . . .
Take 3 minutes for peace
Your and my only Reflection Qs this week are:
How did last week go? Did I spend time with my anchors, aka peace allies? Why/why not?
When can I schedule/commit to some peace time this next week?
REMEMBER: you only need a 5-20 minute block of time with your anchor/peace ally - that’s per week.
Yes, I’m setting the bar that low as we get used to this idea of a “peace plan”. We’ll do more in upcoming weeks.
If you’d like more support with your peace plan, I’m exploring what additional help I can offer. Please reply with the word SUPPORT and we’ll get the conversation going.
Thanks for some of your precious time and attention today.
This email was sent from Missoula, Montana so . . .
Thank you to the First Nations of what is now called Western Montana: the Bitterroot Séliš (Salish), the Ql̓ispé (Kalispel), and the Ksanka (Kootenai) - you can read more about all 3 nations on their website.
I also want to give thanks to the Amskapi Piikani (Blackfeet) and the Apsáalooke (Crow) First Nations because I’ve been to and enjoyed their traditional homelands in recent years. Many thanks for your hospitality.
