Oxygenating our spirits with personalized “oxygen mask” for using during “challenging times”

~~~~~~~

~~~~~~

There are so many challenging circumstances these days
And I seem to have such tendencies to slip into senses of “overwhelm”
as reacting to all of these mind-boggling, heart-wrenching
policies, directives, choices, actions and interactions

There might be strategies for attempting to assert influence on the disruptions

But!!!
For me to ALSO keep in mind the importance of and benefits of
finding and creating effective heartfelt “ways” for “self soothing”

Here’s one “ladder of possibilities” for “self soothing”
??? … possible “progression” … ???
Noticing sense of “Uh oh!” ->
Feeling senses of “glitch!” ->
Activating “self-kindness” ->
Quick! …. putting on “Oxygen Mask!” ->
Activating even more “self kindness” ->
Reconnecting with and living aligned with my own “deeper values” ->
“Pivoting!” as much as I can in ways I’m reacting or responding

Bringing to conscious, usable awareness:
What might be a few of my own personally effective “Oxygen Masks!”

“Oxygen Masks!”

I wonder what other ways I might access “oxygen!”
I wonder what ways other people might access their own “Oxygen Masks!”

“Oxygen masks!”

A list of “ideas” in the many posts in Pocket Perspectives
images and ideas that offer me life-giving “Oxygen!”

Re-reading them …
Reflecting upon specific ideas relating to current “situations”

Immersing my heart, mind and spirit amidst the ideas and insights
