TGIF

We have just concluded a six week class introducing the elements of restoration - it was an awesome group!  The elements (recognize, responsibility, internalize, power of agreement) provide a framework all of us can use to make sense of our realities.  I use it in my life!

Every Friady I will post a TGIF - and give you a taste of the self awareness in restoration. Self awareness is power.  You too can adopt this thinking! Every Friday review the week and get ready for the next by checking in with yourself  - TGIF!

T - What am I telling myself  - I'm so glad I'm on the downside of life.  This week I'm challenged by the realities of the work I do, the responses I get, the shifts in our country and the strength it requires to keep on doing it all. 

G - What gift am I using - Compassion.  In light of my inner voice, I'm deciding to have compassion towards me. Hmmmm, get a good fiction book, curl up in the lounge chair and escape.

I - What am I internalizing? - I've got what it takes. No matter what happens to me, I can figure out my next steps.  Even if I make a mistake, I'll be okay.  Even if it doesn't turn out the way I hope, I'll be okay.

F - What am I feeling? - I'm feeling exhausted but hopeful. I've been here before, I will keep on doing what I need to do and I will ge there!

Happy Friday! - Post your TGIF'S - I'd love to hear them.
