The Bag Lady effect:

My worst fear: End up as a bag lady out on the street, under the bridge like a bag lady. 

Now I just know I would end on my feet.

We all have this capacity to land on our feet and be resilient.

Imagine the weight you are carrying around with all this fear. 

When my fear about my son vanished, it was such a different energy. 

“I have to worry about my son”

“I need to worry”

That takes a lot of mental energy.

Like a fish in the water.

We don't see how much stress we are in/so much thinking. 

Trust you have the presence, so you know what is important.  

 

It's more realizing that you are not present.

 

Thought and feelings are connected.

 

Mental multitasking-your mind is somewhere else.

 

We are all caught up in our little worlds.

 

I would want me, brain sergeant, to be as present as possible. 

 

It’s all about where your mind is. 100%

 

Coping takes a lot of mental energy. Rather “I just have too much going on in my mind right now…”

 

The source of my experience comes from the inside. 

 

I was good at getting things done. 

 

“This job is stressing me out” and then I would change my job. 

 

It was where my mind was, not the job. The joke was on me. Like chasing my tail. 

 

Sheryl Sandberg “Lean In” All the stuff you have in your head is holding you back. 

You are sitting on limitless capacity, wisdom. 

 

Fearless. You have the capacity to figure things out. You are OK with making mistakes.

 

Being fearless is going flat on your face and then brushing off the dust and getting up again.

 

I called in the Director of nursing in the Hospital after the head of the department had committed suicide. 

 

“What do you want for your nurses?”

 

What happens to nurses that they get less resilient. 

 

Fearless: confidence and certainty that you will bounce back! 

 

Listen from a different place. 

 

For yourself:

 

Notice in a conversation if you are in your own mind or listening to them. Does your mind 

 

How often do you let somebody just speak with ought “doing” anything? Wait even with asking a new question. That gives you connection and impact.

Had to come “out of Cathy”. 

Don’t assume you understand. Ask “what do you mean ex. about anxiety”. 

 

What happened to the businesswomen that were scared of ending up on the street..?

 

 If you see that state of mind is running the show it will have a huge impact in your life. 

 

Don’t worry
