Seeking Shelter

The coronavirus has brought extraordinary devastation to our external lives, but even more chaos to our inner lives.

Anxiety, uncertainty, loss, fear. For you, the inner storm may just be heavy rain with some intermittent hail, maybe some thunder and lightning. But for many, the inner storm feels more like a tornado. So what should we do?

Well, what does one do during a storm? One seeks shelter. And good news! There is a FORTRESS of a shelter available to you – a place securely barricaded from the rain, the wind, the lightning. You actually may have been to this fortress before, but you never spent enough time there to fully appreciate its fortitude. The fortress is called, TPM. Also know as, The Present Moment.

You won’t find this place on Google Maps but I assure you – it’s real. And it can be a phenomenal refuge for you during this storm.

(4) Subaru Seeing – look around, notice what you see

(5) Tesla Touching – when you touch something, feel it

Run. Run faster. You’re almost 40 and you haven’t achieved enough. Everyone running this race is ahead of you. Look to the left – that woman has more money. She has a bigger job. She owns two properties. Look to your right – that man has published three books and started two businesses. He has his own podcast. I heard he’s worth $12 million, and he’s only 35...

I recently walked past a man sitting on the side of the street talking to himself. He was speaking loudly, with great emotion, and every few sentences the topic of his soliloquy seemed to change dramatically. In one moment, he seemed to be ranting about a woman: “And who does she think she is?! You don’t talk to me like that! Don’t you ever dare talk to me like that!” In...

Unsupervised, children will get into trouble. Breaking dishes, muddying the carpet, drawing on the furniture — you name it. But put a parent or teacher in the room, and they’re much more likely to behave. The simple process of being OBSERVED leads to children behaving better. Same goes with our own minds. Unsupervised, our minds will run rampant. Ruminating, stressing, judging, catastrophizing —...
