#154

Welcome to Weekly Whisper #154.

Draw a tree

Go on.

Do it now.

Grab a pen and post-it note or a piece of paper if old school, or your ai tool of choice if not.

Now my guess is that whether you drew it yourself or used ai the images might look something like this:

The interesting thing is you’ve only drawn 50% because the other 50% is underground.

When asked to draw a tree not many people, including ai, include the roots beneath the surface. We only draw what can be seen not necessarily what can’t.

And yet, the root system is what provides the strength and foundation. The tree grows underground before it grows above ground.

In fact, the tree grows in both directions simultaneously.

Are you doing the work in the dark and damp conditions?

Freedom Fridays Episode 85 Featuring Paul Dalton

In Episode 85 of the Freedom Fridays Podcast Pete chats with Paul Dalton, a specialist mindfulness teacher. They dive in to the whys, whats and what nots of all things mindful – why has the concept gained traction over the last decade or so?; what is it in comparisons to something like meditation?; What are the biggest mistakes people make in trying mindfulness techniques?

If any of you talk to yourself and have ever pondered the philosophical question ‘who am I talking to?’ then the conversation will offer a possibility.

If you are feeling overwhelmed and a little off your A game then this conversation isn’t to be missed with lots of practical, simple tips to get started or continue being more mindful.
