A Chicken Minus It's Head

 



What Does a Chicken Minus Its Head Accomplish?!

Running around tying up all of these loose ends reminds me of a quick story:

Emma rushed into the office, her heart pounding and mind racing. Deadlines loomed, her phone buzzed incessantly, and she felt like a chicken with its head cut off—frantic, unfocused, and overwhelmed. Papers scattered as she flitted from task to task, making little progress.

Suddenly, her colleague Jake noticed her frenzy. "Emma, take a breath," he suggested gently. "Let's step outside for a minute."

Reluctantly, she agreed.

Outside, the fresh air filled her lungs, and she felt a semblance of calm returning.

Jake showed her a simple breathing exercise, guiding her to inhale deeply and exhale slowly. They stood in silence for a few moments, the tension melting away.

"How do you handle stress so well?" Emma asked, genuinely curious.

Jake smiled. "I used to be like you. But I found that taking short breaks, practicing mindfulness, and even a bit of exercise helped. Running around in a panic only makes things worse."

Back at her desk, Emma organized her tasks, prioritizing the most urgent ones. She worked steadily, taking short breaks to stretch and breathe. By the end of the day, she felt accomplished, not drained.

Emma realized that instead of running around aimlessly, a little calm and mindful planning could turn chaos into manageable tasks. And for the first time in a long while, she left work feeling in control, ready to face whatever came next.

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...

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 ...

Not a Big Fan

Image
  I don’t know about you, but I’m not a big Facebook fan. Our page has been shut down numerous times over the years. Many of our members don’t like fb for security reasons as well. And don’t get me going on big tech agendas, and all the other tin foil hat theories… Regardless, I’m not a big social media fan, which is a bit hypocritical because I do have quite a presence on several of my Ronin and PeaceWalker pages… However… I put together our own private network called PeaceWalker Connect… And I’d like to invite you to it. There are two tiers: One is called the Network and it’s free. The other is Premium and is called the Inner Circle. I’d like to invite you to the Free Network, where you can get access to community, training and resources, some livestreams and other goodies. The entire platform is all about training to protect yourself (and others), dealing with conflict (inside & around you) and (of course) leading a happier, more powerful Life! Here’s the link if you’d like ...
