This is very useful and dovetails nicely with something I am personally working on, like right now in my life. It's the fact that the "what's wrong" conversation is not essentially a matter of an external exchange, but an internal habitual state. I'm working on an article now about my experience with this, but basically, I'm discovering that I there is a tension pattern I hold in my body, which includes how I am breathing, that starts the "what's wrong" conversation before I'm even aware of it. So personally I'm working on changing this inner, and quite bodily, conversation, assuming it this will be the foundation of having the visible conversations with others that you describe here.
Cheers, Rick. Wow - there must be something in the air between Italy (where I think Silvio is) and Vancouver (where you are) and the skies about Helsinki (where I was) as focusing on what's right has come up for each of us. It's one of the topics that it's in the third pillar of my Effortless Leadership programme: discovering your capacity to connect - with yourself, and with others.
It's great that you're bringing a deep awareness to all the aspects in your body that represent your "what's wrong" state: focusing on what your breathing is like, where the tension resides, how it does so. For any change, like what you're exploring, awareness is key. And getting messy and exploring it as you are - accepting this "wrongness" for what it is - will lead to change.
If you need any help with it, feel free to drop me a line!
You just wrote (brilliantly, I'd say) about something that's been on my mind for ages: focusing on the positives, finding the silver lining. I think this may very well be the secret of life. Great piece, Eric.
I appreciate you, Silvio, for calling that out! And for your generous compliment.
The positive psychology research into strengths shows when we focus on what comes naturally to us (strengths), rather than what we're not good at (weaknesses), we're more energised, we want to talk about what happened in the day.
It's one of the key insights that the participants in my Effortless Leadership programme have discovered. I'm so much more attuned when people complain nowadays. Not because it is bad, or to be avoided, but because there's a conversation and a focus they could be having instead that could be so much more life giving.
I'd love to carry on the conversation with you about this "secret of life". I'd love to exchange ideas and hear what you have to say. No obligation! https://healthforsuccess.as.me/CatchUp25
I need to start asking this question daily!

I forgot to say, please don't keep it a secret! Share as you see fit with those whom you think might appreciate this, too. ❤️
Of course. Supporting each other on here is a big part of the game. :)

Sure, I'd love to. I'll look for a slot in the linked calendar. Thank you!
