When you've had an uncomfortable situation to deal with, how did you turn it around?
Hello to you listening in Placitas, New Mexico!
Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.
As I walked higher into the mountains and deeper into October the warm weather on the Camino de Santiago shifted to cold. Imagine having to leave your snug sleeping bag, dress in all your gear and pack up your belongings in the dark, maybe get a coffee and bread with cheese before setting out for another 15 miles or more of walking in the cold.
You’ve been here, too: wanting only to snuggle back down where it’s warm and shut out the world. But on the Camino everyone is booted out of the albergue at first light. So you have to go.
What if I could reframe how I thought about the cold? I converted European Celsius to the more familiar American Fahrenheit. What looked like a 4 degree Celsius morning actually became a 40 degree Fahrenheit morning. 36 degrees warmer - just because of a reframe.
Question: When you’ve had an uncomfortable situation to deal with, how did you turn it around? What was your reframe?
