SHOW NOTES:
On this show…we are checking our boundaries and checking in with ourselves ad we protect our bubble while staying mindful. Ever feel like putting your head in the sand, darkening the tint on your rose-colored glasses, or creating a protective bubble where everything is peaceful and calm? Well, I think we all do. It’s for our own protection, not because we don’t care what’s going on around us. It’s important to know your limits and accept that not everyone can consume a firehouse of information, power struggles, and tragic updates. At some point, you have to wave the white flag and retreat back to where you feel safe and protected. We should all be striving for a healthy balance
I for one, fiercely protect my bubble. The balance for me is, staying informed and aware without feeling overwhelmed and attacked. It’s not as simple as turning on the TV for the latest updates, perusing a newspaper, or scrolling through your feeds. Wouldn’t it be great if we could get a bullet point style, nonbiased update delivered to our inbox every morning? Good morning, Kendall - here are the top 10 things you should know for today, and that’s it. If I search for that, I feel pulled and prodded, coerced, and frankly, misled. Before long I realize I’m listening to opinions and not facts. I don’t know about you, but my mind retreats and shuts down.
How much tragedy and despair can one digest? When we think about balance, are you getting the same dose of positivity and joy? Check in with yourself because this is important. How tipped is your scale? Let’s do some digging to find out the answers to these questions AND other ideas on how to protect your bubble while being mindful.
