One of our students shared a scary story with me yesterday. I noticed it infected me with a bit of the virus of fear. In observing that, I removed myself briefly to find safety in reality.
I returned free from fear, full of safety and continued with what I was doing. I reframed her story to include her very real happy ending. I chose to focus on that instead of her delivery which triggered my initial reaction.
Where do you find safety? Can you quarantine yourself at times of fear so you don’t spread that virus? Ki to Happiness witnesses fear reactions and responds by sequestering until safe.
