Where Do You Go To, My Lovely? (S21E3)

​Hey lovely Reader​

Have you ever felt yourself thwarted? (I love that word).

Perhaps by a piece of technology, a company's system, a relational hiccup - finding yourself frustrated, irritated, annoyed... and not known where to take it?

This week's episode of the podcast is all about these small, ordinary, everyday challenges - and how they can have a lasting impact. Before I dive into what came up, and how interesting it can be to explore what helps you shift the energy, there's a free event this week that builds on this theme.

If you work with other humans, if you have a nervous system... this could be of interest. It's freely offered to you and anyone you think might find it useful.

Anyway.

As today's episode unfolded, I reflected on what happens inside us when something doesn't go the way we want it to - when we try to enforce 'unenforceable rules'. How we can end up reaching for what numbs the emotions that come up - and what we could (maybe) do instead.

​This link will take you straight to the episode (listen or watch) or just search the Henny Flynn podcast.

There's a question here for you too: When things thwart you, where do you go?

What helps you shift the energy? I'm specifically talking about the small things here - and how when we pay attention to the little stuff, it can help us build our muscle memory for when the bigger stuff lands.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Just press reply to share.

May we all be safe, happy and well. May we all know there is often another way.

With love

PS: And! There's still time to pre-order everyday compassion (the book that's the counterpoint to these everyday challenges). Publication is this week. Whoop. And if you'd like me to inscribe your copy, or a copy for someone you love, just let me know when you order.
