Reading Assignment

Daring Greatly - Introduction and Chapter 1

 

Exercise: Permission Slips

Sometimes the first step is giving ourselves permission. Think about what you need in order to get the most out of this class.

 

Maybe you need to give yourself the gift of time


Maybe you need to give yourself permission to be honest or look at issues with a new eye


Sometimes we just need to give ourselves permission to "not know" - to stay curious and open


01. What do you need to give yourself permission to do, feel, or not do?

 

Exercise: Identify Your Arena

Think about an arena in your life where you want to show up and be seen. Having something specific to think about as you work through future lessons will help you get the knowledge in your bones.

 

Your arena doesn’t have to be a big event or moment. It can be any place in your life where you would like to be more authentic.

 

Sometimes our toughest arenas are the small moments or the goals we've forgotten or the relationships we're neglecting.

 

It is important to be as specific as possible –

  • I want to have a more honest relationship with my sibling.
  • I want a closer, more intimate relationship with my partner.
  • I want to have the courage to run for my son’s school PTO.
  • I want to start making and selling my own jewelry.
  • I want to ask for a promotion.
  • I want to take a new class at the local community college.

01. Where would you like to show up, be seen, and live brave?

 

Exercise: Values Clarification

Under the "Handouts" you will find a "List of Values." Use this document to identify the values that you consider most important and essential to who you are.

 

Be creative! Don’t feel limited by the sample list provided. Think of new words for any value that’s important to you but not on the list.

 

Reflect on those words and the following questions:

 

01. What are the 1-2 values that really light the way for you?

 

02. Who/what are the people and behaviors that support my values?

 

03. I'm out of alignment of my values when...

 

04. Identify a time when you embodied your most important values?

 

Exercise: Into the Bones

The Physics of Vulnerability Guiding Principles

  • If I am brave enough, often enough, I will fall; this is the physics of vulnerability.
  • Once I fall in the service of being brave, I can never go back.
  • This journey belongs to no one but me; however, no one successfully goes it alone.
  • I’m wired for story.
  • Creativity embeds knowledge so that it can become practice. I move what I’m learning from my head to my heart through my hands.
  • Rising strong is the same process whether I’m navigating personal or professional struggles.
  • Comparative suffering is a function of fear and scarcity.
  • I can’t engineer an emotional, vulnerable, and courageous process into an easy, one-size-fits-all formula.
  • Courage is contagious.
  • Rising strong is a spiritual practice.
