Antidotes and emergency kits
To be prepared for the breakdown, the unanticipated, the glitches.
To know that we have close by the antidote, the emergency kit.
Be that the bandaid, or a swim in the ocean, walk in the forest, silence, meditation. Or a friend on call.
When we work with others and things go pear-shaped, our relational agreement has a prior commitment to how we navigate stormy waters.
Breathing is allowed. The deep inhale. The slow conscious exhale. Pausing.
The possibility of yelling into a void. Punching a punching bag. Dancing.
To know our release buttons, the decompression actions, to be deliberate in their application, to support others to do this, is to co-create healthy ecologies.
