Becca, from On Dragonfly Wings, shared an inspiring TED video a few weeks ago. The video was titled “How to Believe in Yourself” by Ted Cathcart. There were so many helpful insights and ideas included in that short 8 minute talk!
After watching the video, I reflected upon a few of the ideas that really resonated and then created some “pages” ….reflecting and expanding upon some of those inspiring ideas.
~

“Nurturing one’s nature”….to do that, he suggested that it would helpful to
- know one’s own nature
- respect that nature
- apply and live one’s own nature
- share the good of that nature with the world
~
~
When living one’s own positive “nature,” one might be living some of the positive qualities of that “nature”….living the way “the person I’d like to be” might be living.
~
~
Thinking in terms of “living” some of those positives…
aligning aspirations and intentions with positive “actions”
expanding from “being” to “doing,”
“WHAT” might we be “about to do?”
~
~
Bringing increasing awareness to what we might be “about to do…”
“HOW” those actions might be done
so that they’re closely aligned with positive intentions,
aligned with our positive nature
~
~
Bringing steady awareness beyond what we’re about to do…
into “WHAT” we are actually doing….
in this moment
flexibly aligning and realigning our actions with our intentions and nature,
as we’re “doing” in each moment
~

Of course,
a few steps to explore and reflect upon…
finding our seeds,
planting, nurturing and growing them,
nurturing our nature
(steps are starting from the bottom of this next page)

a few reminders on “bookmarks,”
ideas from Jim Cathcart’s video “How to Believe in Yourself”

thank you, Becca…it took awhile for the ideas to shift, come together and re-emerge.
Becca, perhaps this “post” can be included for Nurturing Thursday this week? We’re going away for a few weeks, so I might not be creating “pages” while I’m away.

Very nice. Sometimes we lose track of our “nature” and we don’t nurture it enough!
