[RE:CON]VERSATIONS :: JENNIFER SERTL’S #RESOURCES FOR #RESILIENCE :: PT 6 :: FORCE FUNCTION : #RECALIBRATION
In this weekly [RE:CON]VERSATION series-within-a-series, thought leader and strategist Jennifer Sertl brings us #REFLECTIONS : a curated list of links mined from her substantive, expansive social technology practice. These resources span geographic and disciplinary bounds to identify sources of guidance and resilience that promise to be of use as we grow in our personal and community behaviors, seeking creative and professional evolution.
In today’s post, she reminds us all to take a moment for our own #recalibration – to honor ourselves with the sort of diligent self-care that we make time for with our belongings. A call to simplification, a call to focus on energy management, a call to let go, a reminder to make space for conversation in the wake of technological immediacy, a hug and a nudge… we’re all in need of a moment to pause and reflect. May today’s resources aid us all in finding that elusive balance, so that we may do our best work. ONWARD!
For more about Jennifer and this series, you can begin with the series introduction here.
Believe it or not, we are half way through 2013. Our computers need to reboot, our cars need oil changes, our mobile devices need to be charged. We, on the other hand, have to create mental designs to ensure we take the time to pause, reflect, and interrogate our assumptions.
Charles DuBois says “ the important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.”
That is why I chose this image ~ the shattering glass.
Allow this moment to be a Force Function to ask deeper questions and ensure that your choices are leading you to fulfillment as you correct your trajectory for year end 2013.
Please take a “pause” to listen to the earnest words of Men At Work’s Colin Hay, here in “Waiting for my Real Life to Begin”
