Necessary skill-sets for the times we are currently living:

Shanti Zimmerman returns to the podcast to share with us:

 1.⁠ ⁠The skill sets of Pause and Respond, that counter the learned habit of reactivity.
 2.⁠ ⁠The skill set of Mental Rest which allows us to remain active while resting the unhelpful mental chatter that keeps us spinning in dysfunction and exhausting our bodies.
 3.⁠ ⁠The skill set of Deconstructing Blame, Shame, and Guilt which allows us to see the world and reality in real time and respond appropriately.
 4.⁠ ⁠The skill set of Care, which places us firmly in the core of our own being while also allowing us to be present and useful, and of help to others.
 5.⁠ ⁠The skill set of Grief, which helps us understand that grief is a necessary, appropriate, and humane response to life, and that cultivating a relationship with grief allows us to feel more whole, more human, more real.
 6.⁠ ⁠The skill sets of Nuance and Complexity, which allow us to hold a both/and perspective and give us the ability to have hard, necessary conversations and take actions that align with life.
 7.⁠ ⁠The skill sets of Ownership and Responsibility, which create the internal conditions to own our every word, action, tone, and communication and open the ability to change our minds when presented with new information.

Ivonne and Shanti also discuss:

•⁠ ⁠The current humanitarian crisis.
•⁠ ⁠Crises in Congo, Sudan, and Venezuela that you may not know of.
•⁠ ⁠Internal violence expressed in external violence.
•⁠ ⁠Gaza, Palestine, Israel.
•⁠ ⁠Reactivity: a habit we have been taught.
