A good rule for travel. Especially in a motor home with daily interesting things that can and will "go wrong."

One of my favorite rules for travel, and life, is what I call the Rule of 12.

When Tana and I travel, we expect things to go wrong, whether that’s a delayed flight, a reservation mix-up, or plans changing along the way.

Instead of letting the first inconvenience hijack our mood, we don’t allow ourselves to get upset until 12 things have gone wrong.

Why? Because your brain is always looking for what’s wrong. If you let one frustrating moment take over, it can quickly become the story of your entire day.

The Rule of 12 helps us stay flexible, laugh more, and keep our attention on what’s actually going right.

As we head home from a wonderful time in Jackson Hole, that’s the reminder I’m taking with me: protect your brain, protect your peace, and don’t let small things steal big memories. ❤️

Connection, Communication & Creating: the art therapy session: Part 8
During the process of therapy one goal is for the therapist to connect or attune to the client. You will expect connection for good therapeutic work to happen. Communication can be verbal or non-verbal and is shared in the container of safe space. Through communicating verbally, non-verbally and or with art materials, music or movement you will be able to create a result from the experience. The creation happens in the container. You can create a change of emotion, a healing of pain, a new way of interacting in relationships, a new way of interacting with yourself. A therapy session with an attuned therapist and client with the desire to heal can create emotional growth, healing and behavioral change.

So what is this about: Space & Pace in therapy? Part 7
When sharing of processing uncomfortable thoughts, memories, in short "your story"the therapist will adjust their speed of sharing so that attunement continues. When you are overwhelmed the therapist will slow down or pause or provide a way for you to feel grounded before going further. A therapist might also nudge you gently to continue to share, to go deeper or to explore the feelings that arise in session.
