How can you make Disruption into something Beautiful? (S2E8)

Tap to send me your reflections ♡

Today it’s all about Disruption - and how the fear of change can often be the thing that stops us moving forward.

You’ll hear I recorded this before the election result in America. Perhaps that sense of disruption was more present then - and for some, of course, it will feel more present now.

Sometimes (often?) even the things we seek to change can hold elements that spark our fear response. And sometimes (often?) we can find ourselves switching the focus of our fearful attention from one thing to another, as soon as that first thing has been dealt with.

What we're seeing around us now feels like a beautiful opportunity to bring our curiosity to how we're seeing this change play out.

The invitation is to join me on a exploration of how we can make Disruption into something Beautiful… 

This episode includes some practical opportunities for self-reflection that come from the Beautiful Disruption retreat (part four of the ChangeFlow series), that we held last weekend. You may want a pen & paper handy or simply to be somewhere you can reflect on your own thoughts and experiences.

I close this episode with a moment of embodied mindfulness - an opportunity to connect with how it feels to allow ourselves to feel what we feel, and to see how it is to bring comfort to that experience.

 | 7’30” | The fear of change can often be our greatest obstacle to making it happen - but it can be exciting, inspiring and invigorating.
 | 10’30” | When we’re willing to see ourselves and our situation with curiosity and compassion then we’re far more able to see the breadth of choices we have - and help us manage a tendency towards imagining we only have binary solutions (22’23”)
 | 14’00” | What are the things that stop you from changing - do they fill your field of vision?
 | 27’23” | What do you currently do regularly, where you could introduce small changes, that could help you practice the art of disruption?
 | 34’48” | Staying in our heads to deal with fear is possible but it can take
