Hey, y'all!
Let's talk STANCES, shall we?

Stances describe how each Type gets what they want in life, how they engages their world and how they try to problem solve...again, to get what they desire.

The Assertive group (3s, 7s, and 8s) think about what they want and they take action. They tend to "move against" others. We'll explore these three Types more in the coming days.

The Dependent group (1s, 2s, and 6s) focus more on the feelings and what's happening around them, then act accordingly. They tend to "move (with or) toward" others. More on the Dependent stance next week.

The Withdrawing group (4s, 5s, and 9s) tend to look more into themselves for their basic needs. They don't move with or against people; they tend to "move away" from others. More on the Withdrawing stance next week.

With which group do you most resonate?

Was waiting at the car dealership for my annual service call.

What does waiting do to you?
How do you fill that time?
People watch? Phone? Laptop/work?

This dealership had a large and comfortable waiting area, including cubbies for people to do work. I knew to take my laptop and phone charger, but I also tucked a book into my bag, just in case.
It was quiet, secluded and cool (we've hit the upper 90s/100s, so A/C is a must!).

Looking back, I wish I had not taken anything but the book...if even that. I wish I had used the time to practice silence, stillness, and solitude. Even in the car dealership! I've learned I need to give my brain a rest, often.

When was the last time you were without the phone, computer, music, people, pets, kids?

Just thinking about it--how does it make you feel?

Have you considered adding in a daily time of being alone and quiet, to pray, meditate, or just be?
