Today, come with me to look at two approaches to feeling better. We'll look at the benefits of both and how to utilize them in your life.

Take Aways

We are taught and trained to take action.
Taking action often looks like accomplishing tasks, fulfilling responsibilities, or goal setting and achievement.
The immediate benefit for taking action is relief. You have a goal. You have steps to get there. Cue relief.
Sometimes taking action after action leads to burn out.
Having a mix of connection and action can limit burn out and help us feel better faster.
We want to connect with who we are. An amazing creation. The person we've been since birth. She's beautiful and highly valuable as she is.
The immediate benefit for connecting you YOU is naturally feel better in that moment. Peace comes. A sense of everything being okay comes.
Just take a few minutes, sitting with your eyes closed, pondering the wonder of you, as you are, as a creation.
Decision making will come more easily.
Results that you want will flow to you.
It's hard to describe.
Solving a problem becomes less insistent.
You become less desperate.
Taking actions and feeling connection both lead to feeling better.
Which one do you do a lot of?
Which one could you practice a little bit more?
