Disrupting Stagnant Energy - Part III

This is the Teacher Mindset Coach podcast, episode #17!

Hello there!  Welcome back to part 3 of the series on disrupting stagnant energy!  Today we’ll be talking about the energy in our relationships with others and how there could be some stagnating going on that is worth it to pay attention to and clean up.

Today we are going to start uncovering some potentially stagnant and stinking thinking we may have in relation to the people who are in our lives.

As teachers, we have sooooo many people in our lives who know us just inside the walls of our school.  Its kinda crazy when you think about it.  We know our staff and team, our students and their families.  That’s dozens of people and it changes every school year!  And if you’re a campus servant like me, you automatically have the opportunity to know hundreds of people, by name, at the very least.

One that has helped me in the last two years when I think about most other people but especially people I may see on TV doing stuff I would never dream of doing is, “I can’t control the humans” or “I can’t control others.”  

That one actually comes in handy at times when I worry about what my seven year old son and his sweet little friends are getting into at school.  I literally can’t control my son, especially when he’s away from me, and I have to accept that as a normal part of being his mom and watching him grow up or… wondering what he’s doing in my imagination and checking myself when I create a story that doesn’t serve him or me.

But before I get ahead of myself, let’s go back to the definition of stagnation and talk about its opposite: invigoration.

Stagnation is something that is without action or animation.  I like to say its when something is so old, perhaps, that its starting to rot and return to the earth.  The opposite of this is invigoration which is when something comes to life or is growing and thriving.  The energy of those two opposites is what is important to look at and observe.

Relate these definitions with the thoughts you have about other people.  In this exercise, its important to understand how to identify the difference between a stagnating thought and an invigorated thought.
