In this episode, I’m sharing the first draft of the guiding principles that sit at the heart of the Becoming the Change movement. These are the ways of being and practices I’m seeking to embody as I go through life and create Becoming the Change. They are invitations to cultivate ways of being that are more conscious, compassionate, connected and regenerative and what I believe can support us to create a better future from the inside out.
The core values of Becoming the Change are Presence, Love, Kindness & Compassion, Authenticity, Open-heartedness & Courage, Childlike Joy & Aliveness, Connection, Living Systems, Enoughness, and Humility & Integrity.
I explore what sits behind each of these - returning to the present moment, living from love and compassion, letting go of our stories and reconnecting with our true nature, embracing vulnerability and having courage, reconnecting with childlike joy, innocence and creativity, nurturing meaningful relationships, living more like nature, remembering that we are already enough, and aligning our actions with our deepest values.
These guiding principles are shared as intentions and practices, they are not something to perfect or strive towards or judge ourselves against. They are reminders that help us come home to ourselves.
This is the first draft of the values and guiding principles of Becoming the Change, I would love to chat with others who are living along the same lines. I’d like to hear your thoughts about these topics and if you would like to help me evolve and shape these, please drop me a message or comment.
