An Oasis

“Create an oasis, where your mind can come out to play.”

- John Cleese

Step 1 of the Five Steps to a Good Decision is Step Back.

Stepping back gives our mind permission to authentically respond to the decision before it, unfettered by formality or process or logic or performance.

We can be ourselves. We can be who we are. Raw. Emotional. Human.

Our indulgence creates an oasis for frivolity, immaturity, and selfishness.

Purging and emptying of the inner so we can turn our mind towards others.

A springboard for the four steps that follow.

A marker of where we were emotionally before our decision.

Helping us look back and remark at how far we’ve evolved.
