• Begin to become aware of your trigger reactions to other people ’ s words or
behaviors .
• What ’ s the story you are telling yourself about what ’ s going on ? Reframing
your story toward compassion is key to releasing the trigger .
• Next time you find you are feeling that emotional reaction coming up : STOP .
Don ’ t speak . Instead , take a breath in that moment and put your attention on your heart . Feel compassion for yourself and the other person . Think of your new , better feeling story and find the words to calmly respond instead of react . Your thoughtful response and open heart will immediately diffuse any tension .
Feeling lonely and isolated . Loneliness can also be a result of being at home more whether you live alone or not . Being separated from extended family , friends and colleagues can cause feelings of sadness and depression . I encourage you to connect with people regularly in a socially distanced way . Try giving and receiving virtual hugs with friends and family via Zoom or another video platform . Literally lean in and hug the computer screen . Yes , it may seem odd at first , but if you and your fellow huggers really go all-in you can actually feel the beautiful energy and comfort of the hug . Intentional giving and receiving of love energy is a marvelous mood lifter .
As you continue discovering new ways of living your best life , I hope these ideas , plus your well-earned wisdom , will make ‘ Beginning in the Middle ’ a journey of promise and joy .
