How is the new teaching job going this year?

I will answer this question by addressing it to Infinity as the number of people I might reach with this answer. That way, it’s just a framework- it’s me telling you what I think about something from my heart, and that is an uncomfortable place to be telling a story from. It’s easier when you have a mask to hold up. But when you finally remove the mask and get a quiet body, you can get settled with your heart, your true You. *Note: I don’t really understand what I mean by “True You” yet. So we will move on since a discussion here will pull us away from our Better Intention: Getting Still in order to get to the heart of the matter. Get centered in your emotions, surrounded by Peeved, Apathetic, at Ease and Pleasant. This is your starting place. Fix your gaze directly in front of you. Close your eyes and look towards the Place Your Eyebrows Meet. Not perfect, But it’s a good enough description to Get Started on Being Still.

Now hold your gaze fixed. Then… Breathe.

And count. Keep counting until you get lost. Then find your place and start counting again. If you get lost again, then find your place and keep counting again. If you get bored with counting, raise your hands and touch your forehead, then keep counting. If you open your eyes, answer these questions,

What happened along the way of your mental journey of counting to Infinity? Who did you see? What other things were you thinking about?

Now think about one of the items you thought about, and really dive into holding that mental image.

Or

Don’t…

Just go back to eyes- closed breathing.

I’ll answer this by discussing the word effort, then showing my effort measurements towards each of the projects that I am responsible for and will hold accountability for. I’ll also try to make an analogy of effort with my fixie as my Concrete Set of Items. We will draw shapes as our Non-Linguistic Representation.
