The Stress of change & our ability to respond

Ours is a world in the midst of great change right now.

Socially, Politically, Technologically, Economically, Environmentally.

Civic institutions, workplaces and family systems that we may have relied upon to help us

navigate our world and changes to it are not currently working very well.

Often, they don't even appear up to the challenge of addressing change and its impacts.

In many cases, these groups to which we have belonged may be a source of change - for better or worse.

This rapid pace of change and the breakdown or poor functioning in many societal structures

is causing a lot of stress - individually and collectively.

BUT - Some of these changes have been needed for a long time.

To correct imbalances and injustices in our individual and collective lives.

Nevertheless, change can destablize things and feel threatening, even if its ultimately good for us.

And when us humans feel under threat, we can lose our capacity to see accurately

and lose our competence to navigate the world and our many relationships from our real Selves.

YET - Sometimes the changes or solutions being ushered in may not be useful or helpful at all.

In fact, we might even be exchanging one dysfuntional system, organizing philosophy or leadership for another.

Or we change just because we are impatient and restless, don't know what else to do or cannot say no.

Some of us might even be instigators of change, which begs the non-judgmental questions of why, what for & to what end?

AND - Underneath and exacerbated by these rapid changes and cultural breakdowns

is the day-to-day stress of our modern world that many of us already carry.

Some refer to this time in history as the 'Age of Anxiety and Depression'.

And 'To Much to Do and Not Enough Time to Do It In'.

ADDED TO - these challenges is the hyper-polarization in our land and around the planet

that keeps us from addressing together in a wise, smart and responsible way

these perceived threats to our individual and collective survival and quality of life.

This condition is stressful by itself and seems to make all the other stressors even moreso.

WE CAN DO BETTER!

OUR CHALLENGE IS OUR OPPORTUNITY

Third Force Coaching and Guide Service offers companionship, tools, practices and other services

that individuals and groups can use to help navigate through this interesting time,

and in the process perhaps become healthier, more resilient, more effective and

better able to relate and communicate in all of our relationships -

even with others with whom we may have significant conflict.

We want people & the groups to which they belong to be well and develop their fullest capabilities to work well together,

ultimately creating more beauty, harmony and flow inside themselves and externally in their families,

workplaces, communities, states, nations and the globe.

We want this for the intrinsic benefit to all,

and because we believe it to be a
