Containment
I have been practicing putting my attention on containing my energy as I go through my day.
That means being aware if I am spreading any ‘sloppy’ energy around possibly affecting anyone in close range.
Am I frustrated? Angry? Numb? Blameful? Overtaxed? Overstimulated? Afraid? Gossipy? Bored?
I see that in any of these states, I want to get rid of it so I often let it indiscriminately seep into conversations or meetings or even my relationship with my dog.
I resent it when people use me as a dumping ground.
But I do it alot, too.
There’s a big difference between times when depth is invited and when it isn’t.
Cathy: pay attention..pay attention..pay attention..
It is probably the biggest community service we can offer.
