How do you position your body to be open and expectant while you wait? Should you be an eager beaver, sitting at the front of your chair with half your bum off the chair…because your thing could arrive any moment now and you can’t wait to grab it? Or should you drop back and rest your lower back against the comfortable padding of the seat behind you?
Oh Tobi.... this goes down as my new favorite! I actually started reading while I was sitting in the back of my booth at an art festival waiting for the day to get moving and I put my phone down to savor the beautiful weather instead. Now I’m back to read the rest 😏
THIS: “Or should you forgo ergonomics altogether and wait in a deep squat…believing that if you teach your mind and muscles to wait in that position, you’d build deep resilience”
AND THIS: “The weight of the wait is real.”
Thank you for turning this around in your mind again. It hits so hard.
In this season of job search, i definitely resonate with this 'waiting' even though I try to be doing something else while... waiting for the response. Waiting for a new opportunity I can grab hold of. Waiting and waiting to see where I land. This was a comforting piece to read.
