Pèt ak pouvwa kominote a
Pèt ak pouvwa kominote a
Pandan m ap ekri sa a, li se -4° Fahrenheit. Sa a trè frèt, men liy debaz la nan linivè a se menm pi frèt: -455 ° Farennayt! Zetwal nou an kenbe nou tèlman cho lè glòb nou an apiye nan direksyon li an ete ke lè nou apiye lwen nan sezon fredi, frèt la trennen sou tankou Krampus (yon figi mitolojik pè soti nan folklore Ewòp oksidantal). Pèt chalè pandan sezon livè pa ta dwe sipriz nou, men pèt nenpòt kalite anjeneral fè.
Chagren souvan santi l byen vid ak frèt. Ke èt imen yo te kreye rituèl ki rasanble nou ansanm pandan sezon livè se temwayaj sajès nou an.
Ou ka, nan kou, kontinye ak jounen ou, men si ou ta renmen li yon ti kras sou sa ki pèt ak rituèl kominote yo gen fè ak Sanctuary, li sou.
The “L” of the SELF piece in the Sanctuary Model is for Loss. According to the Sanctuary Standards for Certification, it is important for members of an organization to acknowledge and grieve instances of loss and distress, but also to intentionally allow “the past to constructively inform decisions about present and future issues.”
Youn nan fason yo panse sou sa a se ke tout chanjman enplike pèt. Fòm chanjman ak pèt nan swen sante yo ka trajik, men yo kapab tou yon etap enpòtan nan pwogrè, tankou lè yon pasyan pedyatrik vin yon adilt ak laj soti nan yon founisè nan yon lòt, lè yon tibebe fèt ak manman an deplase soti nan OBGYN medikaman familyal, lè yon kòlèg jwenn yon pwomosyon oswa chanje depatman, oswa lè yon sibvansyon fini oswa kòmanse fòse yon redireksyon nan atansyon ak enèji.
Generally, we do not do well with loss. We whisper about therapy the way people used to whisper about cancer. Emotions make us uncomfortable. We whisk our dead away quickly and are even quicker to say “everything is going to be okay” when, in many cases, it won’t. Other individuals have brought rituals of community to help fellow humans through loss, such as sitting shiva and Irish wakes. But as new citizens assimilate such rituals themselves often are lost to an ever-churning progress machine. We don’t take time off, don’t have much patience for sadness, and show our irritation with terms like “stuck in the past.”
The thing about loss is that if we don’t address it head-on, it gets stuck in us.
Physicians like Bessel van der Kolk and Gabor Mate have spoken out for decades about the effect distress has on the body. Diffuse pain, digestive issues, and even heart conditions can be symptoms of unresolved distress. It is more acceptable to stuff our pain with food or drink it away with alcohol than it is to take a yoga break during the workday or seek help from a therapist.
Life can be very cold, and isolation makes it worse. The warmth of community can help with the processing of loss and grief, but all too often we withhold community from one another and ourselves.
To become a Sanctuary organization is to become a place where we come together intentionally in community and engage in rituals to support the processing of not just loss, but the daily challenges of being in health care such as missed visits and disappointing outcomes. This processing is active; it is not dwelling. It is recognition of what happened without varnish or gloss and also intentionally learning the lessons.
Sa a se travay entans. Travay sa a mande pou chak moun ki angaje vrèman, vrèman etap nan tèren an nan wè a - lapenn ak tout. Pandan diskou Sitwayènte li nan yon Repiblik an 1910, ansyen Prezidan Theodore Roosevelt te di:
“Se pa kritik la ki konte: se pa nonm ki montre kòman nonm fò a bite oswa ki kote moun ki fè zèv la te kapab fè pi byen. Kredi a se pou moun ki aktyèlman nan tèren an, ki gen figi ki sal ak pousyè, swe ak san, ki fè efò vanyan, ki fè erè epi ki vin kout ankò e ankò, paske pa gen okenn efò san erè oswa enpèfeksyon, men ki moun ki. konnen gwo antouzyasm yo, gwo devosyon yo, ki moun ki depanse tèt li nan yon kòz diy; ki, nan pi bon an, konnen, alafen, triyonf nan gwo akonplisman, epi ki, nan pi move a, si li echwe, omwen li echwe pandan y ap odas anpil, pou ke plas li p'ap janm nan nanm sa yo frèt ak timid. ki pa t konnen ni viktwa ni defèt.”
Isit la se nan odas la. Li fè pè isit la, ak frèt, men mwens konsa lè nou oze ansanm.
Konsèy rapid
Gen yon anpil nan pratik lage fizik sou entènèt. Isit la se youn ou ka eseye nan travay san pèsonn reyèlman remake:
- Kanpe ak pye ou alèz lajè zepòl apa.
- Dousman panche pwa ou sou yon bò nan kò ou. Balanse sou kwen deyò pye a sou bò kote w ap panche a, ak sou bò enteryè pye a sou bò kote w ap panche a.
- Pran 2-3 souf dousman, pwofon.
- Repete apiye nan direksyon lòt bò kò ou.
- Repete sou chak bò 2-3 fwa.
- Detire epi souke li.
