Calm Among the Chaos



Current State of Affairs...

I'll not write anything to further muddy the already murky waters of information about this Corvid-19 situation. I'll only say that you should be paying attention to what's going on, remain vigilant, stay informed, and keep your baseline.

There are some serious things happening that we need to pay attention to on many fronts regarding the safety of our health, economy and society. 

You've heard me say this before, but...

Especially during times of concern (like what's going on currently like): Mass closings, schools shutting down for weeks at a time, stock market crashing, travel advisories, quarantines and the like... 

It's easy to get nervous, spooked and become irrational.

It is important to stay informed with up to date information from credible sources  like the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and local, state and federal authorities. 

There are many people trying to get this situational under control on many fronts, so we can all do our part. However, things continue to develop, so not everything is not clear at this time. 

This makes things difficult to decide what is the right thing to do.

And...

I understand! I'm going through a bit of that myself.


However...


Hang In There!


Don't lose your grip. 

Maintain your composure and know that you can Improvise, Adapt and Overcome adversities like these...

We have before and shall again...

Just play things smart and be there for others who need help in these times of stress and concern. 

This is a time for us to step up, stand together and lead from the front. 

What does that look like?

It's different for each of us.

What it looks like for one person, might be totally different from someone else.

Even if you find yourself having a differing opinion on what's going on, let's try to stay together as much as we can and not bicker about the small things. 

Stay focused on the bigger picture.

This is a good time to practice being a PeaceWalker in real time! 

That's enough from me right now...

Hang in there!

Step up and remember that you are resilient and...


Keep going,
~Craig

An Uncomfortable Situation

Image
  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people ...

What'd You Say?!

  You ever have a conversation with someone who really lifted your spirits? How about having a conversation with someone who’s a real downer?! We spend a lot of time talking to people. Matter of fact, talking is one of the most under rated and under trained aspects of protecting yourself. It’s much better if you can talk your way out of a bad situation, rather than having to resort to some form of physicality. This is why we spend so much time on sharing effective communication frameworks in the PeaceWalker course. But All of that Aside… When we think about communicating, we often just think about talking to other people. We forget how we talk to ourselves! You may have heard it called, “Self talk.” All day long we talk to ourselves. We carry on an inner dialogue in our heads that only we can hear. Unfortunately, this means it's very easy to be hard on ourselves. There's something about privacy which makes it easy to say the things you would never say out loud to another living...

Cracks in Your Foundation?!

Image
  Last night we had one of our weekly coaching calls for the PeaceWalker Evolution Course. What a great call! Rob and Jenn, a couple of the Level II - Momentum folks (people who graduated from Evolution last year and came back for the second Level.), were tasked to run the meeting as part of their training. I must say, they did a stand up job! The topic of discussion was building an Unshakable Foundation. WTH is that!? It’s basically the way you live. Your habits. What you do in your day to day life. How do you train your… Body  - Your physical health Mind  - What you’re filling your head with Mouth  - How you’re communicating Heart  - How you foster your relationships Why?! Without a solid foundation it’s difficult to remain balanced. When you are not balanced, it more difficult to stay calm, cool, and collected, (especially) under pressure. As I often say,  “You can’t hide crazy.” (It eventually comes out!) Regardless… You don’t have to be in the PeaceWal...
