When you win, I win and visa versa. Celebrate the wins of people in your tribe. Honor based cultures. Celebrating the collective success. Their success is your success. The false narrative of the lone wolf - Hollywood glorified - Rambo, The Lone Ranger. Not powerful. The lone wolf starves to death in the wild. Humans are wired for inherent collaborative relationships. Lone wolves under one banner don\u2019t win\u2026 until they became team players. Toss and assist. When isolated from the pack\/tribe, it triggers a \u201cdeath response\u201d in the amygdala. That is why \u201cshame\u201d is such a significant trigger. It makes you feel like you\u2019re not accepted\u2026 the threat of isolation\/ex-communication. The brain releases cortisol - to prep to fight to survive. Shuts down non-vital organs and immune system. Feeling isolated? Must start a protocol of connecting. We are not socially distancing, we are physically distancing. We are tighter than ever today. Pain, when unresolved, it becomes resentment, which then becomes contempt - and then it\u2019s time for separation, Perspective creates reality. When looking at this as enforced isolation, it\u2019s externally enforced. When looking at this as solitude and it\u2019s an opportunity for growth, reflection, healing, etc, it\u2019s internally enforced. It\u2019s a choice When it\u2019s MY choice\u2026 I\u2019m empowered. Ownership\u2026 don\u2019t let someone else\u2019s enforced rules become YOUR prison When you can no longer change your situation, you\u2019re forced to change yourself. - Victor Frankl When in chaos, we must chunk it down into small amounts we can manage. There are situations\u2026 but there are never problems. Problems are always in the past or in the future. The apple represented metacognition. Self-awareness, what is going to happen in the future, and ultimately, death\u2026 the perfect recipe for anxiety, worry, fear. Humans have been cursed with remembering the past (regrets, depression), and thinking about the future (anxiety)... also a source of power - remembering the past (learn from it), thinking about the future (plan).. Yin Yang of our journey. Resiliency in a sense of belonging. WWII - the blitz of London - substantial drop in depression and anxiety and increased morale and resiliency got higher than ever.
