9.14.21 When the only constant is change_BW_Inner.U Upsell

In the past weeks, all across the world, students and teachers are returning to school after the summer, and leaders and their teams are returning to their offices.Ideally, to a safe, healthy, in-person environment, having emerged from the pandemic even stronger than before. But what if our reality looks very different from that?More like: Uncertain, scary, messed up, and simply annoying?If you find yourself in one (or all) of these states, here’s what to do:Shift from "Know How" to "No How"Will the seminars I’m going to lead for Handel Group in the fall take place in person, digitally, or in hybrid mode? Including or not including travel and time away from my family? Will my 12-year-old’s school keep up with in-person teaching, or are we facing more months of homeschooling?I don’t have the slightest idea,and probably won’t find out until shortly before.Sound familiar to you? While there’s not much we can do to impact the ever-changing circumstances of a pandemic, how we relate to these circumstances makes all the difference.Whether we choose to react or to respond to what’s going on.Whether we insist on knowing how it’s going to be,or embrace being in a state of “no how.”When I react, it’s usually impulsive, in the moment, and often driven by my negative traits.And that barely ever gives me the results that I want.Responding (vs. reacting), however, requires me to take a step back, think, and act with a higher vision in mind: Who do I want to be? How do I want to show up?Write your dream on how you want to show up in your life in Module 1 of Inner.U LIFE, our online coaching course. Having a dream can help guide you, even in the face of ever-changing circumstances. Yes, many of us don’t know what this fall is going to look like.The good news is: Instead of wishing we knew more about what’s coming (and getting overwhelmed, frustrated, and annoyed if we don’t), we have the option to embrace the “no how” and to start creating from that place.Here's where to start...
