Today, as many face their final day of summer vacation, we look at the revolution of tenderness. From experience, I know how our body and mind react to returning to work…
Even if you love your job!
Does it happen to you too? That tingling sensation, that knot in the pit of your stomach, that pain in your back, shoulder, or knee…?
馃幆 I want to share a master formula with you. It is the kind we pharmacists love because it allows us to customize a universally recognized and easily accessible remedy.
Most master formulas result from mixing ingredients鈥攚e call them “specifics”鈥攖hat have always existed in nature and are given to us for free. (Then came industrial chemistry and pharmaceutical biochemistry… but that is another chapter.)
馃Р Today, the star ingredient is something we carry by default, which lies at our origin and we naturally attract. In our human nature, we have something incredibly powerful: tenderness!
Tenderness, that soft, sweet, and simple quality, is calling for our attention today. Why? Because it changes everything. It heals and brings health to a tense environment. It is contagious: if just one of us overcomes the fear of being vulnerable and shows sensitivity, everyone’s barriers and disguises begin to dissolve.
Tenderness goes far beyond being polite or respectful. It is naturally authentic, filling us with humanity and overflowing. That is why it flows so delicately and naturally, from me to you, from you to me, to everyone…
馃巵 Can it be learned? I am not sure. Above all, IT IS LIVED. And we live it when we begin to connect with ourselves. Tenderness is what does not threaten. It is what affirms, provides fertile ground to grow, and makes it possible to fall and rise again without having to pretend, pose, or hide our flaws…
When I take a deep breath and we begin to move from the mind to the heart and connect with that, or when we let others connect… that is when we discover how much warmth, gentleness, and space lie within. As tenderness is released within us, we feel alive and transform into life-giving men and women. Can you imagine the atmosphere and energy this creates?
馃А Is tenderness a revolution or not? In such an environment, everything can be transformed and every ego transcended.
Pack it in your suitcase, do not leave it at the office door or by your computer if you work from home… And from the bottom of my heart, I tell you: I wish I had been as aware back then as I am today of how much the intangible matters over the tangible. Because…
It is not oxytocin that matters, it is tenderness. Even though they are one and the same, like everything… if you look from the source.
Happy return home, to work, to school…
