Facilitator explores how unexpected adjustments engage the nervous system, contrasts automatic routine with manual moments, and invites noticing adjustments as opportunities to come into present-moment awareness.
The host opens with a friendly greeting, comments on the passing of days, and reflects on 'moments' and presence. This orients viewers to the theme of paying attention to the present.
The host introduces adjustments as adapting for others, oneself, or unexpected events and asks viewers how such changes feel emotionally. This invites reflection on initial reactions versus thoughtful responses.
The speaker explains that the nervous system simply signals 'something's happening' without judgment, but habits can lead us to interpret adjustments as bad or annoying. This helps viewers separate raw sensation from learned reactions.
The host argues that adjustments pull us out of autopilot into manual, aware action, making us notice what we're doing even if it's less efficient. This reframes adjustments as opportunities to observe and choose.
The speaker invites listeners to use moments of adjustment to ask what they now notice, to let go of rigid preferences, and to consider how to act differently, then closes with a brief goodbye.
Hey, Cadre, happy Tuesday. It is Tuesday. I'll tell you, I hopping on Cadre every single day and saying what day it is and wishing you well. It's amazing how you go, gosh, I feel like I've said happy Tuesday lots of times. And days keep moving by. And yeah, time moves fast and time moves slow. And yet every single day we're in, we have moments. I think a week or two ago I talked about the time increment of a moment and how a moment doesn't have a prescribed start and stop. So we can really dig into the moments that we get to be in.
The hindsight moments blur into one big past and the future moments don't exist yet. But as we are right now, we are sharing a moment right here in the Cadre sphere. And I'm glad I'm here. I'm glad you're here. I know the things I know and I care about you. How do you feel about making adjustments? Making adjustments for the people around you, making adjustments for yourself to be able to focus or to dig in deeper to understand. making adjustments because the world gets in your way and you have to do something that you didn't plan on doing.
How do adjustments make you feel? Rosie 612. it's always nice to see another 612 in this world. How do adjustments make you feel? Not what do you think about adjustments? Like, oh, I understand that adjustments are good and necessary and part of the puzzle. But like that first response when all of a sudden you have to adjust or the world adjusts you. How does it feel? I'll say our nervous system, squeaky wheel JC, your nervous system doesn't have an opinion. So when all of a sudden something happens and your nervous system goes, something's happening.
That's all your nervous system says. It doesn't say something's happening and it's good or something's happening and it's bad or something's happening and it's dangerous. Your nervous system simply says something's happening and then it leaves it to you to discern, to assess, is that thing that's happening good or bad or safe or scary? But because we get into habit and routine, our nervous system will go and when it does, will often go, adjustments are bad or adjustments are annoying or the world that's making me adjust is bad or annoying.
In reality, adjustments are one of the greatest tools we have to bring us into presence. You can be in the routine of doing the thing you do and not until you have to adjust are you actually aware and manually doing what you're doing. Now, are we more efficient in our manual state or automated state? We're definitely more efficient in our automated state. Maybe not more effective, but definitely more efficient. But it's those manual moments of adjustment where we get to go, what am I doing? And what am I having to do different?
And how do I settle into the opportunity at hand? My invitation for you today is when you have to adjust or when you choose to adjust or when someone adjusts you, take the moment to go, huh, what is this making me aware of that I was not aware of before? And then maybe take a moment Get over yourself and your desire to do things the way that you were doing things. And consider how you can do things now. That's your opportunity at hand. I'll see you tomorrow.
