I listen to the wind of my soul

I’ve spent a couple of days listening to my ‘wind’.
(No, not like that 💨😄)

The concept of ‘wind’ in ancient China was that it was the natural phenomenon of disruption. It could either be gentle in its movement; or it could be swift and violent.

I’m exploring the gentle variety.

What happens when I do something different to usual?

For example, if I arrive at an intersection where I usually turn right, turning left instead – so taking a different route than usual.

Also changing my work habits: changing the days I see clients, changing the number of clients per week... I’m even considering a spell of work being something completely different.

It’s the idea as Dez Nichols gave us at our first ISTA Level 1 training of ‘radical discontinuity’ – in this case, not necessarily radical (check out https://www.schooloftemplearts.org/)

Although as I’ve come to realise, even the smallest change can be radical, and can lead to some radical results.

The recent intake of RapidReset experienced this. Sometimes cutting out one food which they ate all the time really created the space for a change in behaviour, patterns, even physiological changes!

Not because that food is ‘bad’ or ‘unhealthy’ – just because it throws you out of your comfort zone.

Try this for a couple of days:

Pick something seemingly small and innocuous that you do all the time, or at least every day. And change it.

Have a black coffee instead of a latte, or with sugar if you have without.

Take a different route to work.

Catch the tram instead of driving.

Sleep on the other side of the bed.

Get the idea? Go on, do it, I dare ya!

So, that’s what I’m doing – what are you going to do?
