How might we grow our response-ability, our capacity to respond, not react, to life’s moments?
Response-ability helps us stay with what is, so we can meet each moment with calm, creativity and connection.
Our capacity for response-ability is influenced by the flexibility of our nervous system. This is our ability to move between states of activation and regulation with ease. A flexible nervous system also brings resilience.
Here are a few simple practices that can help bring you back into regulation when stress or activation arise. Learning to notice your own signs of activation can help you pause, reconnect with yourself and others, and meet the moment with greater awareness and choice. Strengthening response-ability is a daily practice.
This topic is something I am very interested in. Having worked in change spaces for two decades, I can’t un-see the importance of inner development and nervous system literacy for change, in our lives and in the world.
