Don't Cut Your Own Bangs

161. Riding the Waves: What Should I Do? Part 2


Listen Later

Thank you for joining Juanita Molano Parra and me for our continuing series, “Riding the Waves.” We are looking at several questions designed to help us navigate big feelings, big situations, and big questions. We know that holding these big things lightly can make them less overwhelming and more approachable. Even better, new things become accessible and possible when we hold the challenging things lightly. Here are some observations as we continue our discussion of, “What should I do?”

“Experiencing” the result of a plan (rather than just  “executing” a plan) is an example of a new thing becoming accessible.

“Should” can cast a shadow. That shadow is probably some form of discomfort that we don’t want to acknowledge.

When discomfort is acknowledged—and the grip on the discomfort is lightened—then it’s easier to see what we know to do, what we’re ready to do, and what we want to do. 

We can be more comfortable with the discomfort of others when we don't make their discomfort about us.

There's a lot of control wrapped up in “should.” 

Thank you for listening. Tune in next week for our discussion of “What if I fail?”
