Climate change isn’t a problem that can be solved by summoning the “will.” It isn’t a problem that can be “fixed” or “conquered,” though these words are often used. It isn’t going to have a happy ending, or a win-win ending, or, on a human timescale, any ending at all. Whatever we might want to believe about our future, there are limits, and we are up against them.

=======================

Only from deep acceptance can we arrive at meaningful changes an adjustments.

And only then.

=======================

Annals of a Warming Planet
Climate Change from A to Z

The stories we tell ourselves about the future.

I’ve written about this before, but it’s still true. I know that I’m blessed. I know that I have plenty to be grateful for. I know the benefits of gratitude, both from a research perspective and from a visceral, personal experience perspective. And yet, gratitude is something that I have to remind myself to do.

I’ve been playing with a morning practice of gratitude along with my meditation routine, and I’ve found it helpful as a way to shift my mind, even if just for a bit, into that space. But, even if it only lasts a few seconds, it makes gratitude more easily achieved for the rest of the day. Who doesn’t want that?

What’s your favorite way to remind yourself to be grateful? Let me know!

“How long do I have to do these stupid affirmation exercises?”
“How often do I have to meditate?”

Do you find yourself asking yourself (or a guide, or mentor, or friend) these kinds of questions? Do you get frustrated with not getting results as quickly as you want? I can relate. Many of the things I’ve done for my own growth have taken far longer to bear fruit than I thought they should. But, the results will come. Read on:

https://brendontowlecoaching.com/2023/04/18/the-power-of-repetition/

Do you keep trying various practices for personal growth, but can’t manage to stick to any of them? If you’d like to have some help sticking to it this time, feel free to book a consultation call with me to talk about how!

Since most of us judge ourselves by other people’s personas, and since most people put on a confident show most of the time, it’s easy to think that being certain and confident is a requirement. It’s not. Being human comes with having doubts, or being unsure, or wondering what our place really is.

As I embrace my humanity and let go of the need to be perfect, I get to be more comfortable showing up in the world. I also become more effective, because I’m not fighting against my own mind as much. If you have doubts, that’s okay. And, if you’re struggling with your doubts, feel free to reach out for a free consult to see how I can help.

What’s your favorite way to remember that it’s okay to be human? Let me know!

“I’m not smart enough to get into that school.”
“I’m not dedicated enough to be an entrepreneur.”
“I’m not good-looking enough to go out with him.”

Does the belief pattern of “I’m not X enough” sound familiar to you too? I spent decades mired in those sorts of beliefs, so I’m pretty familiar with them myself. But, I’m not there anymore, and haven’t been in a very long time. Read on for how I got here from there:

I’ve gotten much better at this, but there was a long period of time when I was too quick to insert myself in situations where I really didn’t belong. My intentions were almost always good, but I’d offer unsolicited advice, or try to problem-solve when compassion or empathy were more appropriate. Or, I’d try to be an active participant in a situation where I was really just a spectator.

Today, I find that I’m much calmer and serene as a result of keeping myself out of situations where I don’t belong. As a consequence, I’m much more able to be effective in the situations where I do belong.

How about you? What are your favorite strategies for remembering what is and isn’t an appropriate place for you to act? Let me know!

“I know you can’t see this clearly, so I need to make this decision for you.”

If that sounds familiar, and it’s not in the context of a parent-child relationship or a romance novel, it’s possible that a mindset shift could help you be calmer, happier, and more productive. Sound good? Read more:

One of my favorite strategies for getting out of limiting beliefs or paranoid, unpleasant thinking is to ask myself “How do I know? What’s my evidence? Where’s my proof? How else could I explain this?” and then take the exercise seriously.

Almost every time I try that, I find that I don’t actually know. My head is just making things up, and not to my benefit. If I can seriously go through this exercise, it almost always seriously shifts my attitude.

How about you? What are your favorite strategies for getting out of limiting beliefs? Let me know!
