The Art of BEING: Holding Space & Sitting Intentionally in Stillness

Send us a text

Summary

Join me as I discuss the importance of holding space for oneself and others, as well as the challenge of finding stillness in a busy world. We explore the concept of emotionally healthy spirituality and the need to prioritize being over doing. I'm sharing my experience with coaching and the power of asking good questions. 
The awkwardness of silence and the importance of embracing pauses. 
The gap between image and reality in business and the value of finding contentment in small steps and maintenance.

It's about the integration of work and life as an act of worship and the significance of stillness and silence in listening to God.

Takeaways

Holding space for oneself and others is essential for personal growth and emotional well-being.
Finding stillness and silence in a busy world can be challenging but is necessary for self-reflection and listening to God.
Coaching is a powerful tool that involves asking good questions and facilitating introspection and growth.
Embracing pauses and silence can be uncomfortable but allows for deeper connection and understanding in conversations.
Contentment can be found in small steps and maintenance, rather than constantly striving for more.
