What if we just acted like everything was easy?
This famous quote by Mary Ann Radmacher is one that I have often pondered. The question is scrawled on a scrap of blue paper, stabbed with a pushpin into the cork board above my desk. What if, I ask myself, what if?
What if I could float through each day feeling like there was nothing to react to, but only to respond to? How would that feel? Would the tension ease from my shoulders? Would my jaw unclench when faced with a seemingly insurmountable problem?
I think that reality is what you make it, but the true question for me remains, how do I change the way I think? How do I repattern my brain’s response? Is it even possible?
Let’s find out. Today, I will try to act if everything is easy. Stay tuned.
