Lynn Toler Instagram – 1: If you looked at dude and was asked what do you think his sporting fast ball was you wouldn’t necessarily say this. Football, wrestler., maybe. But no. Dude did this! Nine whipbacks in a row. Impressive! The Lesson? Don’t just run with the first facts you have. Wait and watch. Look for detail. Question your assumptions. 2: #keepcoming. That was my mother’s favorite phrase. Dude tumbled out of his shorts and kept it moving. The Lesson: there WILL be difficulties. Maintain your composure. 3: Practice. And I mean not just normal things. Practice being whatever you’d like to be a little more of. For example, every once in a while when I really have my wits about me I stand in the longest or slowest grocery checkout even if self checkout (which I love) is open. Test my nerve and my resolve. And if I do a good job and don’t get anxious I grab some #M&M s as a reward. The Lesson: though process and procedure aren’t sexy, they work. I don’t #manifest. I do not have #epiphanies. I walk. I plod. I accept better than yesterday. I still do battle. But I don’t storm cities with overwhelming force. I guérilla fight my #feelings from house to house. One way of doing business is not better than the other, I just found what works for me. 4: Find what you enjoy and roll with it. #emotionalintelligence #joy @domitrick
