Let’s give ourselves the gift of transformation this holiday season. Here’s a simple and powerful process for developing the vital skill of self-observation. Cheers to an enlightened season.
Engage
Catch yourself in the moment. (Self-Awareness and Self-Observation skills)
Explore
What is going on right now? (Attention, 3-Centers Practice; Mindfulness; Pause; Hijack)
Expand
Stay with what is arising, inquire into what you are thinking, feeling, and what is going on in your body. (Inquiry, Breathing, Use your Resources)
Embrace
Accept, let go, sit with the discomfort, stay steady and quiet, allow insights/truth to emerge. (Resistance/Release/Receptive)
Embody
New insights/truths inform a new way of “being” with yourself and others. This is where real change occurs, but you must build in practices to sustain this new learning. (Intention; State Change; Behavioral Modification; Practice; Goal/Action)
