Welcome to this blog which continues with the theme of mistakes and practice as featured in August's newsletter: Reframing Mistakes August 2014
Just like everything, becoming comfortable with mistakes is something that comes with practice. Practicing taking our mistakes, and framing them with kindness and compassion, that can guide us to what next.
Mistakes
are a portal to the unknown and wonderful world of discovery. They also
tell us what does not work for us and teach us to discern.
Here
are some ways to practice making mistakes:
If
you have paper, fold it in half and literally spill some liquid on one side,
could be coffee, paint, indian ink and then fold the paper in half to get a
mirror image.
Draw
and image of a spill, a splash and decorate it. Play with it, there is no
expectation of an outcome and have the intention that you are going to do it
really badly.
Write
a poem, a haiku really badly, allowing what ever to appear to appear, dont
cross anything out and if you do use a coloured pen or doodle the cross out,
whilst enjoying the process.
Create
a persona of a wonderful mistakes and consult with it.
What
else could you try?
Enjoy
Liz
