I like that one Steve. Back when I was working in an office when things got really hectic, schedules and people were really getting on my nerves, I'd stop everything, walk down the hall to the coffee pot, and get a cup of coffee. When I got back I'd have calmed down and could actually get something done.

 

[Phaedra]

Listening to your life means having patience. Many of us confront most of life with a prematurely evaluating attitude. We have a natural tendency to make up our mind instantly, the moment we encounter something. The problem is that once we've filed something away with a judgment - even our very selves - we stop seeing it in all its complexity. The wilderness teaches negative capacity, the ability to rest in uncertainty, to not jump to premature conclusions.

I had no idea that David Brooks of the NY Times wrote a book like that.

Advice from a kindergarten kid:​

You gotta say your affirmations in your mouth and your heart. You say, ‘I am brave!’ , ‘I am loved!’, ‘I smell good!’ And you can say five or three or ten until you know it.
You gotta walk big. You gotta mean it. Like Dolly on a dinosaur. Because you got it.
Never put a skunk on a bus.
Think about the donuts of your day! Even if you cry a little, you can think about potato chips.
You gotta take a deep breath and you gotta do it again.
Even if it’s a yucky day, you can get a hug.
Don’t get distracted and your feet will stay on the sidewalk.
