During the past 18-months, there are so many ways that each of us have experienced a sense of destabilizing uncertainty. Discombobulated and wondering what can I do.
Discombobulated is such a great word! Except if English isn’t your first language, you probably have no idea what I mean.
There’s an English expression (which may be Australian) “all hands and feet.” There’s no mention of a body. And when we’re un-embodied, we are out of sorts.
No body, all hands and feet: conjures up images of being out of control, off kilter or clumsy.
Gangly teenagers unaware of where their body begins and ends.
Teetering on toes upon waking
Shaking with tiredness
Exhausted after loads of physical exertion
Overwhelmed and burning out
Sitting too long at your desk
Flailing around not knowing what to do next
Losing one’s internal compass.
What takes you away from feeling grounded and productive?
AND
What helps you to stay grounded and productive?
Besides …. meditation, journaling, writing, painting, drawing, walking, setting a timer, breathing consciously, shutting the office door.
I’d love to hear.
