Sometimes when we are in flux – uncertainty – in one or more aspects
of our lives, we begin to try and control something to alleviate the discomfort
that flux brings. And that control brings chaos in our lives and the lives of
others. That is the flux factor – the unintended consequences of our behaviors
when we are feeling out of control. In today’s episode, we will identify where
we are “fluxing” and how we are responding to it, and then, through a Pause,
try to settle ourselves and let go of the need to feel “ok”.
In our spirit section I read from Rainer Maria Rilke,
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try
to love the questions themselves…Live the questions ow. Perhaps you will then
gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
