Two part weekend: project (fun. exciting) and trauma book report (stalled, full of trepidation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Body Keeps the Score and What Happened to You? I had two Audible credits. Listening to the first, I realized it sounded very familiar. Discovery: I already had this book in my library; downloading a duplicate was missed because there was a book cover difference. I got my credit back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, two trauma books. The first explains how trauma literally reshapes body and brain. Between them, the word that keeps surfacing is recalibrate. Not fix. Not cure. Recalibrate. The second book asks us to understand our pasts in order to clear a path forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admittedly, I had the speed cranked up to the max. I hope I didn\u2019t miss the message Tim most wanted me to receive. I’m starting to wonder if developing liberating beliefs and processing trauma are just different names for the same repair work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not exactly related to trauma, but lately I\u2019ve been thinking about Stumbling on Happiness, by Daniel Gilbert, which is a book I\u2019ve listened to more than twice. I believe it, but knowing a thing and doing a thing are different\u2014to make your best guess what future-you wants, implement, and be ready to chill if future-you ends up wanting something different. I believe Gilbert calls it correcting affective forecasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nir wants us to take bucket list items and attach a WISE goal to some\/all of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
