Dear
This week, 2 things on the menu:
- An article on kindness, and what it's meant to me on the receiving end in difficult situations.
- "Even though it's so very last minute...." (I just cannot get away from the EFT phrases, grin!) - please could you help me decide on the workshop focus for November? (yes, I know - lastminute.com!)
World Kindness Day, 13 November 2020
World Kindness Day is celebrated every year on 13 November. And this unbelievably strange year, it also falls on a Friday. Friday 13 November, 2020. I think the Universe has a sense of humour!
Kindness is one of my values.
I love thinking about what words really mean.
- The dictionary says simply “the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.”.
- Wikipedia goes a bit further. It names the above and includes ‘concern for others, without having an expectation of praise or reward’.
Historian Barbara Taylor and psychoanalyst Adam Phllips mention that “real kindness changes people in the doing of it, often in unpredictable ways” (In their book On Kindness, 2009).
In my experience, kindness does not only change the giver, but also the receiver.
In my own reflection on ‘kindness’ today, here are some instances that kindness shown towards me had a positive, long-lasting psychological and emotional impact:
In 2018, I had to have a laser eye procedure and was absolutely terrified.
November Workshop
We are moving on 29 November so things are a bit disorderly in the Teversham household! I want to still offer a workshop for November that would be valuable, and offer an opportunity to shift even a small piece of a challenge or issue you might experience.
The workshop will be held on Tuesday 24 November, at 9 am Pacific, 12 noon Eastern, 5 pm UK, 7 pm SA. It'll be £20 (around $27) and we'll spend most of the time tapping through the challenge, in a safe, considerate, introvert-friendly space.
I'm considering limiting spaces to 6, so that we can get a lot of deep work done.
If EFT workshops interest you, please vote for the topic that you're most likely to attend.
OR - pop me reply note with your choice, and I'll add it to the votes. Choices are:
- EFT for organizing, planning, task overwhelm, procrastination, and getting it done.
- EFT for: The year is racing to an end and I haven’t accomplished what I wanted to.
- EFT for Fear of Being Seen: I have to show up for my work but it's scary
- EFT for Goal blocks: I don't know what I want. And I might fail anyway.
Thank you!!
Wishing you a week of fulfillment ahead.
We are faced with many challenges. I keep using the tools I teach, and I also reach out for support when I need it. It's important to stay as calm and clear-thinking as we can - for our own sake as much as those around us. If you need support in any way, please reach out so we can have a chat.
With love,
Liesel
