Election season is enough to trigger the most calm and centered of us. No matter how you look at it, there are polarizing opinions, spinning the truth, outright lies, and untruths flung at us daily.
One way to get through the election season with less tension and stress is to adopt a neutral approach. This doesn’t mean you don’t have opinions. It means you pause and reflect and consider what’s true from a neutral point of view without your emotions and judgments clouding your responses and conversations.
At the beginning of the podcast, I share a fable about a woman who adopted neutrality. Thinking of this has saved me from moments where I could have slipped into drama or judgments that might not have been helpful.
I’m not perfect by any means. And I realize it takes a lot of compassion and patience to have a neutral point of view with a family member or someone in your life that irritates you. I offer a way to consider neutrality and how it can benefit you. It takes practice. Be gentle with yourself.
May the light in you brighten the lives of others.
Be safe, be kind, be present.
Love,
Kathy
P. S. It has a long, silent intro, so you can fast forward about 10 seconds or so. I haven’t learned how to add music. Stay tuned, and I appreciate your patience.
