The World Keeps Turning.

When we Step 1: Step Back - the world keeps turning.

While we retreat into ourselves, wallowing in our feelings of self-pity, injustice, unfairness, frustration, disappointment, despair … Life goes on.

People move on. Reconsider. Recover. Forget.

When we emerge into Step 2: Assess the Situation, we often find it’s different to what it was when we retreated into ourselves. That’s partly because it is different. But also because we’re different. We’re looking at the circumstances that demanded a decision from us more objectively and calmly.

By tending to ourselves, we allowed the world to do some work without us.

Reminding us that we see more clearly outward if we take the time to look inward.
