What Do You Need Right Now?
What do you need right now?
It's a tumultuous time. We are all dealing with the crazy sh*t happening -- Gaza, plane crashes, new President, lies, DEI, you name it. The world is going through a massive transformation and whether we like it or not, things change.
I have gone through the gamut of emotions. Frustrated. Angry. Sad. Calm. Inspired. I've tried to keep my nervous system chilled out and focused on how I can create and be creative in my life rather than feel like everything is happening to me.
Most of what is happening right now we do not have a ton of control over. Whether it is pertaining to world events, or parenting, or the driver that cuts you off and almost causes an accident.
Right now, if we can all navigate through our days with a little more grace for ourselves and others we might spread some goodwill. I've been thinking of the idea: "What do you need right now?" It's a way to meet someone right where they are. We all are dealing with a ton of emotions and the curveballs of life events.
What if, as we embark on the rest of February, we slow down a bit and see the people in front of us? What if in that encounter you pause and ask the other person, "What do you need right now?"
What if when your kid has that meltdown, you pause and hold space and ask them, "What do you need right now?"
What if your spouse is cranky and still getting over the flu and you ask, "What do you need right now?"
What if you paused and notice when you need to ask yourself, "What do I need right now?"
Key Takeaways:
If you feel your emotions spiking, take a moment to pause.
Focus on what you can control.
Ask: What do you need right now?
