It feels like a punch in the gut.
You get the news that the leader in your life is actually human and made a decision you don’t get.
You get the news that the couple you hold as the “ideal relationship” calls it quits.
You don’t get it.
The reptilian brain constricts and screams for understanding. The amygdala kicks in next and goes straight to worry, will that happen to me?
How long shall this feeling go on? Oh wait, how long will I choose to let this go on?
I feel my higher brain pull me out. Can I breathe into the mystery of life, love and leadership and allow it to be?
My evolved brain kicks in more now – it’s ok to acknowledge, grieve and “not know”. To move forward without taking the disappointment with me.
I love the thought….Like Parenting, Self-Leadership is a series of recoveries.
Just for Today, it’s up to me how long it takes to get back on track.
