ENGAGEMENT

• How does it land for you-the idea that you're not the whole story, that you're part of an ecosystem vastly larger than yourself? What shifts when you really consider that your presence affects the system, for better or worse?

• "Taking a beat"-the pause between stimulus and response-is where we get to choose. What might "taking a beat" look like for you? Is it a breath practice? A prayer? A moment of stepping back?

• What would interrupt your automatic reactivity so you could choose differently? What becomes possible if you let go of needing to be self-sufficient?
