In our podcast, we explore how you might boost your resilience now. First, take care of yourself and keep your resume up to date.

156. Finding Peace With Uncertainty In Spirituality Dec 22, 2020

Show notes

As we explore uncertainty in every area of life, one place it shows up frequently - your spirituality. Your faith traditions may ebb and flow when feelings of uncertainty overwhelm you. When you choose to embrace the unknown, you're invited to welcome change and reframe whatever is uncertain as an adventure. This week we encourage you to take small steps when considering something new. How about developing a change toolkit to help you move through uncertainty? And through it all, know that you are not alone. Holding on to spiritual traditions offers a roadmap for whatever it is you may face next.

155. Coping With Uncertainty In Your Body Dec 15, 2020

Show notes

Throughout this holiday season, you may be feeling a great deal of uncertainty in your heart and mind. In our podcast today, we explore how uncertainty impacts your body. What would happen if you scheduled a time to worry, rather than dwelling on your uncertainty? If you connect with others and do what you enjoy, your brain is free to return to the present moment. And choosing what to focus on steers you away from what's out of your control. That's when you harness the power to manage what is in your control. May you be encouraged!

What would happen if you could give without getting anything in return? And consider how you want to be treated and do the same. You can embrace what you can control. Enjoy!

153. How Do You Deal With Conflict In Your Craft? Dec 01, 2020

Show notes

When you face conflict in your workplace, what do you do? If you can get to the place where you see conflict as a natural part of working with others, you have the chance for peace. We begin by asking, what do you really want? Once you know that, what are you and the other going to do about it? If your goal is to listen to and learn about the other, you're ready to create a strategy. Since you can't control the outcome, your process is critical. That's when you discover what's important to both of you so that you can negotiate. When you reach an agreement, commit to each other so that you have real resolution.

152. How Does Spirituality Influence Conflict? Nov 24, 2020

Show notes

What happens when spirituality and conflict intersect? In our podcast today, we examine how resolution can take place. Spirituality offers you the potential to make peace if you're present without judgment. When you're looking at the bigger picture, you may realize there's meaning and purpose in the moment. As you become aware of the other's point of view, your spiritual beliefs help wake you up. And living with spirituality provides wholeness in the midst of a challenging situation. We hope you can find a few ways to use your spiritual muscles and arrive at a perspective that flows from your integrity.

151. What Does Conflict Do Within Your Body? Nov 17, 2020

Show notes

When you face any sort of conflict, your body reacts automatically. Beginning with your brain, your first instinct is to protect yourself. And that's where you get into the danger zone. We'd like to share another way of handling conflict. First, stay present and notice that you've been triggered. What would happen if you let go of the story that's keeping you in a stressful state? By choosing to focus on your body and breathe through whatever you're up against, you can retrain your body to respond instead of react.
