In mindfulness work we are encouraged to slow down and be in the moment to engage the senses, the textures and feel the energy. When eating and otherwise, I invite you to slowly…. chew. on. that.

From PAX by Sarah Pennypacker

This idea from a children’s book I just finished speaks to NHA:

"...distrust is no match for kindness administered consistently and unmeasured, especially in creatures new to the world."
About the book: Peter raises the kit fox he names PAX for five years before his father enlists in an encroaching war. On the way to live with his grandfather, Peter abandons the fox. Confused and alone, Pax discovers the wild, while Peter’s regret sends him into the night on a 300 mile journey to reunite with his pet. Pennypacker alternates between the fox and boy’s perspectives as they find strength in the struggle. ​Lots here to discuss if you're looking for a good read aloud.

Reset visual

I am reminded by this visual made collaboratively with my students (2014), that we never lose our greatness. Sometimes it just gets blocked and we use a reset to return to our greatness.

NOTE: Teach reset as a tool through modeling. Recognize your use of this strategy on yourself many, many times, then recognize others when you see them doing it independently. Avoid use of this tool as a means to control anyone but yourself. Effective use of reset relies on strength with stands one and two of the Nurtured Heart Approach®. We are not perfect nor can we expect perfection from others. The key to reset is the “kiss of forgiveness” that follows successful reentry.

Oooh, there it is!

What is it that you're hoping for? Quicker resets? More flowing recognitions? A way to move through negativity? Focus on your goal with recognition of your need for baby steps, so you can enjoy your process without undue frustration.
Right now I'm trying to recognize anxious moments when I begin to dysregulate with negative self talk, doubt or worry. For the short term (I'm not sure how long that will be),  I am simply trying to notice the feelings. When I successfully pause to acknowledge “Ooh, there it is,” that is enough! It is enough for now because it is the start of my ability to grow a new habit.

My goal with this blog is to provide nuggets to consider to help keep your NHA practice alive. The invitation to "Give them something to talk about" reminds me to urge you to find a greatness partner or group to talk about your journey AND the ideas that I post here.

    The Thoughts from a Nurtured Heart blog includes ideas and perspectives encountered through intentional living. Posts include ideas that support NHA but are not necessarily explicit teachings of Howard Glasser. I've done my best to properly attribute ideas I borrow from others.
