Recently, we got a New Year’s card that provided a welcome strategy for this anxious time:
Gardening…
letter-writing…
conversations…
music.
They are all analog practices of detaching from the negative, and connecting in truly restorative ways.
As soon as we think about doing them, we calm down.
Wise old Seth Godin put it another way:
More and less
More creating
Less consuming
More leading
Less following
More contributing
Less taking
More patience
Less intolerance
More connecting
Less isolating
More writing
Less watching
More optimism
Less false realism
I read this,
and could only say,
“Great.”
