Sitting on the Bench (G9496)
Picture yourself sitting at one end of the bench, gazing out at the serene and picturesque lake. Close your eyes and take a deep breath.
Think about what's concerning you the most right now, whether it's dragging you down, keeping you up at night, or affecting your confidence. Focus on a single issue, identify your thoughts and feelings, and determine actionable steps. Please consider the specifics of why, how and what comes after. Take another deep breath.
Imagine your closest friend joining you on the bench and sitting at the other end. Your friend gazes out at the lake, lets out a sigh, and confides that they're struggling with the same issue. They are describing the same situation you were thinking about while you were sitting alone. What advice would you give to a friend? How well do you listen and how kind are you?
Next time you feel overwhelmed, sit on the other end of the bench and offer yourself the same support you would give a friend.
