Thanksgiving is coming. People are sharing concerns about how to speak with relatives of different political views or how not to speak with them at all.

Friends wonder how to have a conversation without branching into troublesome territory.

The known or understood has become fragile.

Even conversations with people of like mind can be tricky. Some want to avoid subjects because emotions may run high and may trigger their own emotions that haven’t yet been figured out.

So, what does one do?

Here are a few thoughts:

• Love is love- coming together with family or friends can be framed simply with love. We are together. Let’s find each other in our mutual care
• Holidays can be difficult no matter what, so create an intention of what will work for you this holiday and choose your roadmap.
• For example, setting a goal, a tone, or a desired mood for oneself can help keep difficulties at bay.
• Know when it is time to take a break from festivities or conversations and get out in nature or find a yoga class. Focus on self-care.
• Some families have creative traditions. Doing something together is often the best remedy. If not a tradition, an outing, or cooking or baking together.

When it comes to those potentially difficult conversations take a breath, step back (inside yourself), and decide who you are and how you want to show up.

• That may mean saying, “I’m taking the day off from complicated (you choose your phrase) concerns and focusing on relaxing together.” Then, possibly suggest an activity or a new topic.
• You may choose to embark on the conversational journey and agree to disagree.
• You may choose to embark, and if emotions start to rise even when in agreement, you may comment on a method you’ve found that helps you feel better or more neutral.For example, “I don’t know about you, but I have found that when I get really upset, I just end up feeling worse.” “I’ve been trying to catch myself and take a breath, feel my feet on the ground, and remember I’m OK in this moment, and it helps me feel better.”

Whatever you choose I wish you a lovely Thanksgiving weekend.

Quick tip:

What is your goal for the day?

Remember to have a focus.

The people you are with are yours to cherish if you choose.

Love is a guidepost.

Where did that feeling come from???

I came down with COVID last week.

I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise as it appears to be on the loose again.

The surprise was remembering the tricky emotional part of COVID-19.

Feelings.

Does anyone remember that?

After a couple of days of feeling poorly and beginning to slowly feel a bit better… all of a sudden, I noticed that I was paying a lot more attention to the nuances of what people said or didn’t say; if they were in touch or not in touch; mulling over a situation and starting to think about it differently.

Oversensitivity or over-focus.

Making things personal that weren’t personal at all.

The truth is all of it was imagined.

It was all a story my imagination concocted.

I began to question these innocuous situations from an emotionally negative or over-sensitive standpoint.

What snapped me out of it?

• I stepped back and looked at the data
• I noticed that how I felt made no sense
• I realized how easily it would have been for me to get totally sucked into how I was feeling.

I refocused. But even knowing all that didn’t work entirely.

It persisted. So, I talked with a good friend and said I believed I was going through the COVID emotion phase and checked out a feeling I was having.

It was based on nothing.

Except that there SEEMED to be enough of a potential something to feed the thought beast.

Fortunately, I checked it out and trusted reality rather than the sticky thought/feeling stuff leading me astray.

How often do we all let our thoughts run away with us? Even without COVID-19?

An idea bubbles up, we don’t check it out and then it becomes a “thing”.

Then if we are lucky, we do check it out, but often people don’t.

Suddenly there’s a problem where there wasn’t one and no one is talking about it.

I am so glad I gave myself a taste of my own teaching and stepped back, evaluated, and followed through. It was such an important reminder that being curious about a feeling is more important than buying it hook line and sinker.

That’s why I created both my Enlightened Communication Through Luminous Living® course and my Divorce Well and Thrive® Coaching program. Communication is key.

Let’s have some fun together finding the best way to have tough conversations or any conversation that means something to you. Those are the tricky ones.

So many people have experienced change over the past year – myself included. From scary medical procedures to moving cities. So how do we all remain resilient in the midst of major upheaval whether it is personal, familial, governmental, or cultural?

For me, and what I teach all my clients – coaching, psychotherapy, and corporate – is that when we begin to feel like a leaf in the wind, we are sunk. That’s not the good part, the meaty part. That is the human condition. So, what to do about it? Here’s a tip that is part of my QPT® (Quantum Presence Technique) process and is a quick way to get centered.

1. Breathe and put your attention on your feet.

That’s what I do, and that’s what I teach because it’s impossible to handle any stress, big or small, if you are not present in your body. Putting your attention on your feet and breathing is a shortcut to getting back to home base- You, your own body.

Emotion follows thought.

Have you ever noticed that when you have a seed, just a little seed of information that is or could be true, suddenly the brain is off and running with a story about it? Depending on your inclination that could be scary or wonderful. Either way, it is just a story.

It is not true because it has not happened. You notice I didn’t say “happened yet”. That’s because there is no yet under these circumstances. We actually have no idea what is going to happen.

When we are present in our bodies, we are not being run wild by our thoughts and the emotions that follow our storyline. We can actually make a clear choice about who we are and what we want to choose to feel and do in the moment.

2. Make an Inspired Choice

What makes an inspired choice? The first is step is # 1 above. When you are experiencing presence, full embodiment, you are connected mind, body, spirit, and heart. You realize that you are safe in this moment and that you have come into your body fully with your attention and your breath. You may have a sense of solidity, of feeling grounded, connected to the earth. It comes from having made the decision to be still and notice that gravity is holding you steady. Your intention is all you need to experience the pause that allows you to make choices from your true self, unimpaired by extraneous thoughts.

From this position you can activate the ‘you’ ‘you know is there. The ‘you’ that is not a leaf in the wind. The ‘you’ that you can depend on. It is the same ‘you’ that you’ve depended on when making important decisions, helping someone in crises. All aspects of you working together to take your next step. That is how an inspired choice is made.

Try it. Let me know what happens. Is there more to this? Of course, but this is a great place to start.
