What this episode covers

Teaser: So this is the new year 2018. What do I expect to see in 2018. Well it was certain that 2017 was a doozy. But I don’t see much room for improvement unless a few things come together –   Today’s podcast looking forward into 2018   Today we will talk about: Did self care help in 2017? What things am I expecting to see in 2018? How can we best prepare as Inclusive Activists in 2018?   Welcome back to the podcast! This podcast is going to be a bit of a departure, as these things are just my thoughts and opinions about what might happen in the coming year. We will look at 2018 through the lens of an Inclusive Activist. https://inclusiveactivism.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Forecasting-20181.mp3   As far as the podcast goes this is something a bit new. I am looking at some themes and ideas that came together in 2017 and last year I felt I was ahead of the curve in talking about the need for self care in 2017. This time I am not saying to abandon self care at all I am more looking at themes which may crystallize in the future or things I think we need to keep an eye on for 2018 – Please remember you can email me at [email protected] or leave me a voicemail at 860-576-9393.

It is about how would your life change if you really truly were nonviolent with yourself – what would your life look like if you really accepted you just the way you are? According to Dr. Brach feeling of shame and unworthiness are the source of many problems we experience with our relationships, careers, creative endeavors, and most fundamentally our spiritual unfolding.   So on to the podcast for today! Looking forward into 2018.   First thing: How did this work in 2017?   This is my take on how 2017 and self-care affected me – how am I different and what difference did it make?   News intake – I decided to be careful with my news intake and I think it helped.
