I dont know about you, but I am thinking: TMI….Too much information….too much emotional hijacking, too many decisions to make, too much turmoil…its just too much. And despite it all, life goes on. It is Crazy Times. 

And then I wonder, “what is the difference between sense-less and sense-full? Is there an invisible boundary line between too much empathy, too much sensory awareness or not enough? If so, where is that invisible line for you?

I go back to the power of having self awareness. Choice follows awareness. Even with all the crazy twists and turns in the world right now, you still get to choose who you want to be and how you want to respond. Do you want to go down the dark tunnel of ‘senselessness’, trying to make sense of something that makes no sense? With no senses at play, the logical mind works overtime to make sense of things that defy reason, which in turn causes its own kind of burnout. Neither option sounds good.

What does it mean to be too full of senses, as in too senseful? Abandoned sensory awareness, as in too much sensory awareness to often too much like TMS (too much senses), leading to sensory overload and compassion fatigue. TMS caused by TMI. Maybe that is why we call it 'CRAZY TIMES'. It is a crazy time for empathic and logical minds alike.

Back to CHOICE. You get to choose. What combination of senses are the best for you right now? How about a combination of senses; sensory awareness that calms your nervous system blended with practical awareness to reasonably think through how you can simplify your life so that it makes sense, real sense, as much as possible. Then our upcoming 5 day, LH (Leadership & Horses™) could be the perfect fit. Healing time in nature, calming interactions with horses, conversations that matter guided by masterful coaches and getting re-connected to a set of values and ethics that MAKE SENSE. I’m in. Are you?
